The article says the engined stalled and they couldn't get it restarted. What kind of 38' boat has only one engine?

Yeah, really slow...when it's filled with water!
I've been busy with work, Reed.
No time for the ladies.
Worked on the boat all day yesterday but did manage to go for a blast on one of my Harleys today.
Did a couple mt bike rides last week in the am but too damn hot for anything serious!

"the boat was not equiped with a pump" HUH???? are bilge pumps optional on fountains??? And you guys go boating in the ocean without a VHF!?!?! damn!! I cant leave the house unless i have my handheld in my "bag of goodies" which includes rain gear and first aid stuff among other things.......some people are just morons!

Comical! Oh well, what a waste of an otherwise perfectly good boat.... Anyone know who that was? Couldn't that have turned the bow into the wind? Not that hard to do if you have an anchor..

Pretty sure they ripped off a drive somehow. I'm sure it had pumps, but were they operational? Even if they were....would they keep up with a drive ripped off?

Re: Offshore Boat Sinks off Catalina Island
Not having a VHF is lame. A lot of performance boats out here just don't have them on the boat, but they should at least have a hand-held. Wouldn't ya think!!!!????
