Take a good look around the strut for stress cracks. The few weve got in the shop over the last few weeks looked good but fractured a lot of the structure. Hopefully you got lucky!!

I took a flash light and looked closely at the strut and did not see any cracks. In Fact there appears to be no damage that I could see. I dont know if that means anything though. At your shop do you do either NDT or X-Ray to find cracks, or is a close visual inspection sufficient?

Found this on PN. This also happened on Berryessa. Supposedly from last weekend.

Wow, does anyone know how this happend?

It could possibly be a chine lock issue or maybe excessive alcohol consumption.

A ringer for nighttime navigation issue.

WOW!!! I sure hope he did not RUN aground that far... I hope for his sake it broke down and was left while the lake dropped.

How would you get that out???? I've never seen anything like a crane on Berry. There is a recovery craft (couple winches on a "U" shaped barge Ive seen @ Steele park. It maybe could lift the stern and drag it back in...

Good luck...

Barring having a crane, I think I would try something with air bags to try and lift it off the ground and soap up the bags to slide it back into the lake.
