looks like an i/o.....should be up on craigslist as a freshly washed boat soon.

 

[brutus]

Don’t get it??? One pic it’s floating and there all standing there and the other the boat is under, slow reaction at a boat taking water wtf ???

 

[fishinforever]

Thinking it was re floated at the dock

 

[Aces]

[brutus]

Thinking it was re floated at the dock

Awwww that would make sense, just did not make sense when I was looking at the pics lol

 

[DanJ]

Yes they got the boat back up at the dock. Thats not something I care to experience.

If I had a dime for every time this summer I heard on channel 16..... “this is US Coast Guard, sector Puget Sound....break.... this station has received a report of a Blue Bayliner taking on water at xyz....any mariners able to assist, please contact this station...break”. Sadly a true story.

Not going to mock something like this on here. That is extremely ****** for owner. Don't wish it on anyone.

OMG.....brutal. Worst nite mare right there.
So, lets turn this into a learning experience......does anyone know what caused this?
I always look to the cause, so I can avoid it myself.....

 

[agentaqua]

exactly. Dead battery on the bilge pump? Nobody checking up on it? Would be beneficial to hear what happened...

So I went to Oak Bay Marina today given the weather to check on my boat, to make sure this wasn’ t happening. Saw an open model Boston whaler leaning to port, a lot of water in it, the portable fuel tank was floating and leaking so it was a combo of gas+water in the boat. The office was closed, so no one to notify. If it was just water I would have prob bailed some out but since it was mixed with gas I did nothing.
I guess we will see if they are unsinkable, What do people do in this situation?

I will try and find out on Tuesday. My co-worker lives on his moat in the same marina where this happened. I will ask if he heard
