Default Question For Lake Travis Boaters

There is a picture of a boat that looks like it was in a party cove with a lot of other boats and sank!

Appears to be a Fountain, only the front four to five feet sticking straight up out of the water.

What is this boat and how did it sink?

Thanks

Was it a new pic, or the same one from about 3 years ago with a kid hanging on?

They did not give many details, but there was someone trying to climb up on it.

I had a friend who saw the "Hole" thing. I can not remember exactly how the story went but it seems like another boat collided with it knocking a rather good size hole in the hull. He said it went down pretty fast.

don't know if that helps
