Wholly crap, sorry to hear about that and glad to hear you're on the mend! When you get a chance, post up what you're thinking about selling, I'm reworking a 24' now and may have a use for some stuff.

Geez Rob. I had no idea. Glad you're alive.......

What's the story? Looks like it was under for a while? Did it take a while to find our way up or?

it was under since june 28th, it went down 83 ft.. hard to find divers to go that deep, needed commercial divers etc. it just takes time. i built a rock solid boat, but the force of water is amazing... im sure the coming apart in areas saved my life, i had taken my lifeline off as i wasn't testing, i had it at 94 mph and it was getting faster every time out while dialing it in. accidents happen, im not worried much about it, i look forward to messing with my next projects... which will shock a few people if it all comes together like im planning.

I know a couple of people that are no longer here from boat accidents where the hull separated.... Was this one of the rare instances that you are not hurt more because the boat coming apart took up more of the energy than what you physically went through...

Amazing you are still alive! Count your blessings (and I am not religious)

* posted the answer when I wasn't looking

I agree 100%, im a karma believer. my buddy bobby b and i rescued a father and daughter under the bay bridge about 6 years ago, it came back to pay me... i know the risks and am not scared, i learn new things daily because i like to better myself.. there was nothing in this instance i could have done differently, people say its good people were there, the reason i went wide and was in that situation was because people were there. i didnt see the rollers, one person is at fault and im still able to talk about it. we take chances every time we go out, water doesnt give much, respect it but dont be afraid.

we’re all just glad you are ok. Seems like you have a pretty good attitude about it all. Ive had a similar experience although not near as bad an outcome. Crazy stuff and it happens fast. Gotta respect that water.
