it was under for 3 months, it was 83 ft down and it took that long to find a diver to go below 50 ft.

From what I know and this is not 100% fact, it spun while making a midrange speed wide turn, and possibly hit a wake while spinning, which caused it to grab and then roll. To my knowledge, there was no hull failure prior to spin/roll.
Griff,

That sounds kind of similar to the story about the Formula that sits up on posts, like signage, in front of Hilltop Marine near Cumberland.




Thanks. Brad.

28' or 30'? Hard to tell from pictures.
Sounded like a well equipped hot rod.
