sunk boat
 

Anybody know any thing about the fountain that sunk down by the #10? Friend of mine lives down there and said he could see the nose sticking out of the water! Just wondering!

Who sunk a Fountain? And when did it happen?

A 38 Fountain rolled over in Honey Creek on Oct 24th. We watched it get raised the next day.

I saw one at Brad and Tysons place friday, it looked pretty bad,he said it rolled, about killed him and his dog!

That's the one and the dog was never found.

How in the hell do you roll a 38ft. boat! Did something break?That guy is very lucky! To bad about the dog! Bet that water was COLD!

Wow.. How did I miss this?? Was it the 38 thats parked at Honey Creek by banker marks??

I was no where near a Fountain on Grand.

I'm just sayin' before I become a suspect. :lolhit:

impossible... I saw an Elvis impersonator say that fountains were the best handling safest boats out there... no way somebody could have rolled one...

Anyone we know from Woodard Hollow?

How the hell did it happen? :confused:

You've got to REALLY be driving like a FOOL, to roll one over on a day out with your dog? The dog died you say Rebar? :(

I wasn't there to see it happen... I will just leave it at that. Maybe some other OSO members will chime in?

As for the Dog, I understand that he was never found.

100% agreed. and I have to add, what a phucking idiot. Total P.O.S. on so many levels.
I hope he gets out of both boating and dog ownership altogether.

Would something in the drive breaking cause something like this to happen? Maybe at a high speed? I dont know! its a bad deal for sure! Thats a bunch of $ to be fishin off the bottom of the lake!

Most likely the drive(gimbal) broke due to the wreck. I was told he was turning too tight at high speed. I was not actually there though.

Hmm, this is all I know
 

For those who can't see the photo, here is is what Speak EZ posted:

Damnit man

As you guys know better than me, Fountains are haaaaaard boats to get in trouble with. The handling of their hulls are probably the overall best in the Vee class to me, so I'm just blown away that someone could flip one? Especially this time of year, with the lake as calm as it ever gets?

I'm glad he's alive, but I'm really down hearing the dog didn't make it. That's really sad.

B I think TY would have to disagree with you on that one:party-smiley-004: I haven't been in a 38 that I know of, but the 32 yanked pretty hard on landings.

This sounds like a case of the twin step(I assume it was a TS) two step that went wrong, but I wasn't there either.

That makes since! im glad it was just him and his dog,and not his whole family in the boat!

Yeah, I had forgotten about that! :lolhit:

I've driven JM's 32 a chitload of times starting back when they bought it in 1992 or so, to when he sold it a few years back. They only thing I couldn't ever figure out, was why the steering was soooo tight on that boat? It had full hydraulic, and I believe JM had it looked at a few times. That boat always felt like it had NO power steering to me for some reason. That said, we never got out of shape in it any time I was riding/driving. When TY hit that wake crooked, there was NO WAY he could have corrected it in time to miss that cruiser. He was lucky THAT incident wasn't a WHOLE LOT worse. :eek:

Yep, I remember that day.:eek:

here is a pick of the flipped fountain from another site.

I had heard that he turned into the cove pretty hard as well, former OU player I believe, its too bad for sure, glad he is ok.

:bsflag: He played for OSU!

The pictures on MWBP look rough. Tore the chit out of the back of that beak.....

ahhh, makes much more sense!

I remember seeing that boat for sale in Havasu not long ago. Terrible news about the dog.

That boat was at Woodard a lot last summer. One day, I saw him attempting to drive out with his anchor still down....

Par for the course for this phucking tool.
So who is this clown? on OSO or any of the other sites?

can someone post the pics from midwestboatparty on here? I can't see them there since I am not a member.

Strong words?!?!:chill-pill: Do you KNOW what happened to cause the wreck?

Since you choose to call a man names, in a public forum, after a serious boat wreck...please explain to the rest of us WHAT HAPPENED to justify your wording?

:confused::confused::confused:

You might consider 'test fitting' your foot in your mouth prior to inserting it in public...

Douche bag. Too bad you dont leave your piss hole lake and come here for a visit. Might be a problem heading back to your dog **** lake with less teeth in your head. And yes I've boated on your lake and it is a joke. Come play out here and get your ass handed to you ass wipe.

Right back at ya masher. Next time your on LKN look me up big guy.

Rebar, Just think the guy is a tool for being so irresponsible. No excuse to be running hard enough to lose control with a dog in the boat. That's pretty damn ignorant to me. Would guess if he had kids he'd be doing the same thing.

8:30am edit: Come to think of it, my words in post #32 were pretty damn harsh. My comments were over the top.
Sorry if I offended anyone other than the guy who killed his dog. I guess the dead dog thing hit a hot spot with me.
The wreck is a shame, no doubt. I'm seeing the photos below that Sea-dated posted.... was a great looking boat.

Here are the small pics. For some reason it is not letting me open the pics up now.

Thanks Seadated.

What was the name on the boat "Wicked and ______ "

I ddin't recognize it from the side.

I think it was just Wicked Won

If my memory serves me correctly it was Wicked Ways. I saw the boat quite a bit last summer. It was a great lookin boat. Very unfortunate what happened...
