Scarab sinks at Havasu video...
Last weekend at Havasu. Don't know why it went down. Looks like it's a 29 (?)
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OQGDsYtfSg[/YOUTUBE]:eek: |
Man that went down quick.That's a shame.
|
any new info ??
|
I like the narrators comment, man of few words but he summed things up pretty well.
|
I Was In The Channel Sunday Afternoon At The Time This Boat Sank. I Don't Understand Why It Looks Like Nobody Stopped To Help Them. It Is Really Sad To See Someones Weekend Go So Wrong. I Just Hope Everyone Is Ok. I Heard The Boat Was Over Loaded, But Don't Know How True That Is. How Many People Do You Need On A Boat That Big To Sink It??

Learned from the GLH/Drambuie thread that if you have and leak and your I/O is running, detach the cooling pipe from the motor and let the engine run as a secondary bilge pump. Since I am not mechanically inclined, I'm not sure exactly where to detach the pipe and how to stop the engine water intake from filling the boat up. Can anyone describe?

I would think to sink it with just people you would need 10+ all standing on the back at the same time. |
JUST FOUND THIS ON ANOTHER SITE, IT IS FROM THE PERSON WHO SHOT THE VIDIO.
I will call it out and take responsibility for the video. I took it. Since several people seem to passing judgement I will explain my action(or lack of as some have pointed out). 1. I was alone with no one help me spot people in water. I wasn't going to drive over anyone trying to get into the mix. Another boat wasn't going to help anyone. 2. Did you see the dozen boats already withing 30 feet? I was a few hundered feet away. 3. The people in the water, were there because someone on the boat pushed them in hoping to lighten the load. When they went passed me a few minutes before, way overloaded and everyone on the rear deck partying. 4. I am all for helping people from getting hurt or pulling them out of the water but I for one don't know jack **** about saving a boat. I am happy to give a tow or a jump, again. Feel free to tar and feather....... |
I agree that the boat wasn't really even close to being overloaded. It damn sure went tits up in a hurry whatever it was that caused it! http://smiliesftw.com/x/ughdunno.gif
