Freshwater? If so, no real biggie IMO if you're not buying the power.

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o44139-en.html Not sure if Ive ever seen anything quite like this but this boat was a NW boat and one of the fastest around.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdLgh...eature=related This was exactly 2 years before it sank: Pics of it after recovery: http://crashedtoys.com/ImageViewer.a...kNumber=524038 Now its for sale in the classifies for $45k....Hard to say what its really worth with only one engine and with so much of it having been under water... The owner did not tighten the bolts on the access cover of the standoff box. |

It was an inspection plate on one of the drives that did not get retightened properly. It was missed after trying to change flywheel bolts the night before the poker run in the parking lot. They where freshly built engines that where completed just before the poker run of LCPR 2010.

Maybe my heading was misleading. I wasnt trying to imply the arneson failed in someway causing the boat to sink...It did sink because it had arneson drives which had access plates that werent tightened and caused the boat to sink. Point being if this boat had bravo's or #6 drives it wouldnt have sank BUT it clearly was operator error--no doubt about that. |
what a shame, lake chelan is beautiful, was up there once when I was a kid

The boat ran after this mishap for quite a while also as the insurance company totaled the boat after the owner had engine problems with a second engine and the insurance company totaled the boat rather than repair the motor.
