just 20 feet forward or backward on the anchor and they may have been ok, dumb luck.

I read the topic on TT. Someone made the observation, where's the rudder and prop??? There are definitely going to be some minor scratches on the hull. Maybe they put the anchor out in case the water level came up before they could rescue it?

But why put the ladder down? Maybe to stretch the anchor line out?......lol

Hard to think straight when you are wobbly when walking and seeing double.....

I got that pic from NorrisMike....seems like it's been a theme this year. How many have we seen like this...

Night Time Boating...bad bad idea

Looks listed to me.

I just saw that boat at norris a few weeks ago and yelled from the dock to the owner that it was one of the most beautiful boats I have ever seen! Gorgeous X46. That is a tragedy.

My buddy has a place at norris. His neighbor has a MC and grounded it too...ripped all the running gear off it. Luckily close to the dock and was able to swim it to shore and onto the trailer. It was at night and I am pretty sure a large dose of Jack n Coke played a major role in his problem. Alcohol + dark + Low Norris Water Level = Disaster for your Inboard. Be safe peeps.

That boat lists nicely

No one didn't have a tow rope

Kidding aside, that is a bad day!

IF alcohol was involved, then my sympathy evaporates. Interesting to note that when stuff like this happens it gets widely disseminated to the world and the perp gets repeatedly beat over the head. Never drink and boat again? Doubt it, but that will be for next season for this guy.

I hear MC designed a CBAS- Clean Break Away System for 2016+ MCs to better suit their clientelles' needs, and to protect the heaviest hulls in the industry. Allows the skeg fin, prop shaft and rudder to break away much easier at engineered perforations to prevent fiberglass damage, and they have a weekend saver kit available for owners to keep on their boats to bolt the new hardware on in minutes.

You gotta know this is a joke at this point.

I too saw that boat out the day before... A BEAUTIFUL boat indeed. It definitely happened at night. The next morning the boat was there and nobody was around. There was no blood on the interior... so that's good. I have a bunch of pics I will upload for y'all.

Interesting indeed.

I thought MCs new tech/ game changer was fins, rudder, and prop that retract into the hull once the engine is shut off.

Tracking fins on the swimdeck?

[ahopkins22LSV]

Probably because they were ripped off.

Quite the trench dug on their way up.

Its amazing how much Afun and obama have in common.

I think they're going to need a bigger helicopter this time around...

I wonder how much that costs. They may have to save up some money to get it off that island.

[NorrisMike]

I'm heading out in a few hours. I am curious to see if it's been removed....

[Lance B. Johnson]

reminds me.

This guy ignored the Nav buoys where we ride all the time. Most of the people I ride with were there to witness the extraction but I missed out. This is a Sanger and apparently the tracking fin was pushed up through the bottom of the hull.

At least you can say that baby has some clean hull lines.
