From a fellow Seacraft owner located on the Vineyard, so happy you guys made it. Ever since I read the story, I've been bringing my handheld VHF with me. I was out there that day (my birthday) bonito fishing at the hooter. I have a dual bilge pump set-up with them pumping out opposite sides of the hull. I work maintaining a large fleet of boats, and I have seen more brand new RULE pumps fail this year than ever before. Check your pumps people! Glad you guys remained calm and survived!

I must of passed you then cause I was fishing the hooter early before headin a few mi offshore midday looking for charlie. I think I remember seeing another seacraft out there! Its going to be a bit before I get another boat (funds), but I will be considering another SeaCraft!

I was out there that day as well and am 99% sure i saw both of you. We left the hooter early, 7:30 or so, and i remember a 26 regulator and 2 20 SeaCrafts headed out, we were in my Conch 27 and went out to the lanes.
I would be very interested in where your 20 went down always up for an adventure if someone wants to recover it?

I would be up for a search, however, I don't think the boat is worth recovering....there is a ton of tackle that went down with it though. Its roughly 6 mi S of MV....about directly N of inside fingers.....on the 100/110 ft line. I could find divers.. If my SPOT had functioned properly, I would of had GPS coordinates on it.....the SPOT is going to be replaced with a real PLB/EPIRB on the next rig.
