Rest in Peace - A Sad, Sad Night

[jwclbi]

Hey Peter very sorry to see those pictures. Are you really considering unloading the boat? Take a look at the previous pics of resurection, you could do the same.

Hum, hard to tell with just a few pics, but what caused that port aft scum line. Did the tide put it there after it sank outward or did the boat get caught under on the up tide and roll in first then outward on the falling tide?

How much does the tide move there. That big cross timber looks like big trouble if the anything get hung under.

Obviously nice to know if it was a dock issue, before the next victim gets held under.

The clues are there, just need to piece it together ...

Good Luck, Nick

Rich,

There is no offical culprit. The scuppers don't feel as though they are any noticable cracks. There was a lot of weight in the rear. Perhaps the stern somehow got caught underneath the dock.

Still trying to figure it out.

In my previous post I noted the scum line. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
It got caught under the dock and filled through the vent.
The rest is history.
Peter, take the insurance money and reinvest in the old girl. You will regret letting her go. Hopefully you could
put her in top notch shape with what you get.
See ya, Ken

Peter sorry to hear it. As for the culprit I'm pretty sure it was the engine well drain. As I told you the day we raise it that the drain sat well below the waterline, and with the bilge hatch covers in the well not being sealed the water slowly trickled in and put'er down. It definitely didn't go down fast it squatted for some time before the water reached the vents, then it was all over.

I hear Jones Brothers are coming out with a 26 this year, that might be something to look into. I see the 23's all the time. I can't say about the ride but they look sharp.

I stand corrected, Finny was there.

See ya, Ken
