A buddy of mine sent me the pic and the following story...It was at Travis...
"This was part of the entertainment Memorial Day weekend in Devil’s Cove
on Lake Travis (Austin, TX). The kid forgot to put the plug in, once he realized that
his boat had taken on a lot of water, he panicked, his friends untied the
boat, he started it, gunned it, rammed another boat, knocked a hole in his
hull and it sunk so fast by the time we got to the camera this is all that
was left. A little more drama unfolded when they attempted to tie the
sinking boat to another boat to keep it from going all the way down. We
just
about got to see 2 boats bite it. They feverishly cut the rope with a
knife
when they discovered the one was just going to get drug down with the
other.
As rumor has it, insurance is calling it driver error and will not cover
the $100,000 35 ft Baja boat and to put icing on the cake, he is being
fined $1000 to $10000 a day that the boat sits on the bottom of the lake.
Poor Bastard!"
