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...

So much for the "carpet did not even get wet"...... :eekdrop::eekdrop:

It's for sale with no engines

fixx
 

no engines! but he has it up forsale for 23k!..its on the website under parts.

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

Not sure if I'm misreading your headline. Are you saying the Arnesons were responsible for its sinking. If yes, why?

Try double that.

Formula
 

So much for full disclosure, this is the second swimmer this guy is selling

that was a baddd azzzz 382,, why did it go down?

dam glad we got ins $125000 later new **** :lolhit:

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.

Yes, freshwater. It sank in Lake Chelan, WA

Looks to me like a classic case of the missing drain plug(s) :eek:

Nice heading but not true and this did not happen the first day it went in the water nor when the "Rooster" video was made. 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.

The owner did not tighten the bolts on the access cover of the standoff box.

Hmmm, I thought it had one of the engines still in it...Maybe this pic is old...

So then why label the thread as someone else's fault. Seems operator error was the cause but you tittle this :poopoo:

I never said it did. The boat sank July 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

:thankyouthankyou:YOU GUYS ARE DUMB ASS LOOM :party-smiley-004:AT THE MOTORS WRONG ONES J OFFS

:thankyouthankyou:YOU GUYS ARE DUMB ASS LOOK :party-smiley-004:AT THE MOTORS WRONG ONES J OFFS

YOU JACK OFF S NOT THE SAME MOTORS :party-smiley-004:

If it has a standoff box with a loose access cover it would have sunk. Your title is more than misleading is is b.s.

someone spent some $$$


Those logs at the bank sure look like they could easily be floating out in the middle

my stellings boxes have covers that could easily leak if not tight.....i would change the title OP.....chit like this is what ruins OSO

it hurts looking at those pictures...

I cant change the title unfortunately but have emailed the webmaster and requested a change in the title.

Delete the thread and start a new, with a more accurate less inflammatory title. While the boat has Arnesons, we have nothing to do with the fact that Wes did not tighten properly an access cover while he was in a rush to make a boating event. It is wrong for you to infer or to state otherwise and being you do not have a bone in this, as others stated your comments are what ruins the internet.

What a shame.

What kind of money would it take to get that thing running, assuming you had a couple nice used 525efis to drop in?

How fast would it run with that kind of power? I know it is a big heavy boat, but I would expect at least 80 out of it.

Not really considering it....At least I dont think I am...Ok maybe a little...

High 80's, have a few with the 500's that went 87

Bingo!

I changed the thread title. If you guys want something else let me know.

Oh no there goes the Rooster....
:(

KJM5125 is ready with a new rooster when spring comes. But what a damn shame, and because such a "little" thing.

Two words: "Torn bellows"... ;)

A few pills to cure stupidity would be nice.. :lolhit:

i like the extension boxes from Hardin Marine,access panel is on the top:whistle:

Ouch, that'll ruin a day real quick. Gorgeous Formula.

Wow, what a thread this turned out to be. Rik, it was nice meeting you at the Miami boat show.

I'm getting the itch.....:)
