Man, that's nuts! :eek:
Imagine the panick of the guy on the boat a few down which was occupied at the time. :eek:

Good thing the two guys in the skiff were there to hook it and pull it away from the other boats. The boat owners on the dock owe those guys a huge thank you and several drinks. Thankfully no one was hurt and more boats weren't damaged. That could have gotten real ugly, real fast.

I watched that this morning, live from the chopper feed... it was nuts! Those two guys in the ctr. console deserve a commendation for that move, saved a ton of boats from a LOT of damage!! Not to mention put their own azzes on the line to do it.

Kudos to the guys in the CC for saving that whole marina! :drink:

I would of drug the boat to the bank where the fire trucks were. No way would I of sat there so close for so long!

omg that suuuucks

Re: Boat owners nightmare
 

good thing anchor lines have chains on the end !!

Re: Boat owners nightmare
 

Wow, those two guys did a great job pulling that boat away from the others.

Remind me not to park next to the guy that was pushing it away from his boat and into the others :D

What did the two guys use to hook the boat that was on fire??? Boat hook, anchor line??

anchor, thats why I noted about the chain, a line would have burned through
