That would be my guess too. It's a LONG way from the launch ramp to quicks. If he launched on the mainland that's a 10+ mile ride to any ramp. Most of the ramps have some "no wake zones", but some of them like hoppy's are a straight shot across. I had my front fishbox thru hull come loose on my 18. Water was coming in around the fishbox drain fitting. The automatic bilge pump kept coming on and pumping water when I was 1/2 across cape cod bay. Tightened up the brass nut with a big wrench, tilted the bow up and motored home. Things happen.
