50 nor tech sunk?
 
I found a old performance boat mag from 2010 and i saw a article i didnt see before but it was about a 4 engine 50 nor tech and the owner was backing the boat into the water and it slide of the trailer and ripped all the drives off and then the owner forgot to put the drain plug in!!! so it sunk. Does any one know more about it or what happen to the boat??

thanks
Brett

I saw an article on a 50 cat owned by an African prince that sank but I don't remember the details and I don't have the issue now. I think it was Extreme Boats Magazine.

Other than your description is totally wrong nobody knows for sure how they managed to sink it.
We rebuilt the boat and shipped it to the owner in Africa over a year ago.

Actually, not 100%(99.9) but I do believe it is! He had 2 quad 50's built like near or at the same X if memory serves! I was at at FT. Myers poker run a few years ago & I believe he was basically take'n delivery at the run!!! Trond was drive'n when they went fly'n by the boat I was in!! tap dance'd over the deck 2 get 2 the dock at lunch as I was rafted about 8-9 boats away!!
