I think someone forgot to add the flotation foam. that boat shouldn't sink like that even with the plug out. Sum-ting-Wong

Couldnt they have waited for the tide to come back up and go home on one engine?

Well depending on who hooked to it (SeaTow or Tow Boat, can't really tell) once it sunk it became a salvage and they are entitled to a large percentage of the value of the boat. I hope the owner gets those pics because it will help him I would think (if they weren't present at the time).

Only 4 months into the new year and we already have a solid contender for a Darwin Award. Geez, haven't they ever towed a boat before? That's a lawsuit in the making - especially with those pics!

Even if they are the ones who sank it?!?! Kinda a conflict in interest. Let see, we have to tow this boat back, but if we sink it first we will make more..... Sounds like something a politician would make up. Oh wait, it is a law, never mind......

It's pretty obvious there are some real dull tools in those boat sheds! As a towing company they receive an automatic F, as a salvage company, as someone here mentioned they might get themselves an A or a B when it comes to title to the boat. Hope the poor owner has good insurance, he's gonna need it!

Wow, ignorance never seems to amaze me!
