From what I understand, he hit something in the water during the SCOPE Poker Run and the boat started to take on water. Too bad, that was a great boat!

We got the call from John that they were taking on water and needed assistance during the SCOPE Poker Run. My heart dropped when I heard that the Coast Guard was pumping her dry to keep the ole gal from going under. I was saddened to learn that the hullside was blown out. She was a blast!

not rough at all. There was however some debris in the water. Most likely hit a telephone pole or large tree stump.

You guys are fast I gotta start getting up earlier

Tank is right, but whatever it was, I didn't see it. We were on our merry way to the island when my passengers started complaining of wet feet...

Thanks to the SoCal Lifeguards we were able to keep up with the water coming in, and motor back to safety.

I really hope there is someone out there with the skill and recourses to fix her up.

John, I see you updated the ad and have a deal pending. Hopefully it goes through and they can fix the hull and get it back on the water. Sorry to here that it happened in first place, but glad nobody got hurt.
