About this time last year while at work the mechanic got a phone call from our neighbor who works from home. "Gary, I hate to tell you this but your boat has sunk, it's under water"... Words every boat owner never wants to hear.
As far as we could see there was no reason for it to have sunk. The weather was perfect, no wind, no storm. The boat was fine early in the morning.
The mechanic hired his friend and yard guy to get the boat to shore. So, with a come-a-long and lots of muscle, it took Shawn all day, but he was successful. He said he never wants to have to do that again!
After inspecting the boat, it was determined that the boat trailer roller had punctured a hole in the bottom of the boat.
The mechanic's tech plugged the hole with a filler and then fiber-glassed over the hole filler. The engine was cleaned out and carburetors were rebuilt.
The twin delivered the boat to us yesterday and today we will have a maiden voyage.
