WOW that's terrible (esp with another warm weekend here). We have been getting very hard rain for several days with flooding in the city. Really sorry to see that. Nice looking boat I've seen you out before. GOOD LUCK with the insurance. Where going for repair?

That sucks. Chalk that up to one of the wildest ways ever to bottom out a set of props lol. Sorry dude prob not funny

Looking at the pic....seeing the drag marks of the 2 skegs in the asphalt. I'm guessing it was not a lid failure. Possibly the front wheel of the trailer sunk in the mud imploding the basin with the weight and forward momentum of the boat/trailer. Also guessing the basin was not an engineered basin constructed of concrete and reed bar, but of basin block and mortar (Easier to blast though the sides). That's it for Sherlock Holmes today, I gotta cut my lawn.

Wow, good luck with repairs - hope you can get a nice trailer out of the deal!

Damn that sucks @$$...

"Yes State Farm, my boat sunk....no no no, its still on the trailer....in the street....an asphalt street..."

Bauman propellers will fix the skeg on the boat, and fix your props too, they are close by mclain trailers that can fix the trailer.

Boat at Victory to get checked out. When it slid off, it pulled the back end of the truck about 4ft as it slid into ditch. The side of embankment was just filled in around the storm drain portion with no retaining........ just bad luck. She will be ready soon to be prowling Galveston and Conroe. Having the 12.5k hitch and 10k ball held the whole shebang from flipping over into the abyss..... THAT would have been bad!! I actually have Sydwayz to thank for this. His posts some 7 years ago as I was upgrading from 16 Donzi made me Realize I may NEED the extra protection some day.

Sherlock Holmes my azz, you must be Sherlock Holmes daddy. Either that or an engineer.

Wow, glad no one was hurt first of all. Thanks for the note.

Make sure they check out everything both drives, especially the helmet, pins, and all weight bearing points. Make sure they look for the tiniest cracks and/or paint stresses.
Years ago, I had a drive literally break in half across the helmet. Mercury said that they only way that would have happened was if I was rear ended while on the trailer. (That never happened, but that's another story.)

Dude, be careful about giving Sydwayz credit, he can get to be a handful :drink:
