Lost Boat

[FOURQ]

with what I know there is no salvage rights to any salvage company on the inland waterways. however you are responsible to pay the salvage company for their service weather you wanted it or not. they can keep your boat till it is payed. however here in AZ if a boat hasn't been registered in 5 years it is droped off the books if you try to register it after the 5 years and there are no liens, theft reports or anything it is now your boat weather its right or wrong. my advice is locate it get a depth and call me to come recover it for ya so you don't get screwed and have to pay a recovery company if it is still there.. recovery's are any wear from $1,500 to $3,000 or more

The first test drive I put my boat through we almost sank it. Due to an assembly error, the suction housing cracked all the way down the right side of it. On my way back to shore, I had taken on so much water that my anchor rope floated over to my U-joint driveline and got wrapped in it, killing the motor. My wake came over and swampped the back, adding even more water to what was already coming in.
There I am...dead in the water, with only a 500gph bilge pump going...lots more water coming in than I'm able to pump out. I'm thinking "OH FOCK I'M SINKING!!!" After all that time, money and hard work I put into restoring her and she was about to be at the bottom! All I could think of was what everyone on Hot Boat would think if it had sank due to Later screwing everyone. Luckily my buddy was there and was able to tow me to the dock in time to get her on the trailer and out of the water.

I spend most of the time on the river in the Spring and Fall, and this is the downside to boating with a lot less traffic. If something happens, alot of times nobody's around to help. Explains why I prefer to go UP river!

I've got a question. My boat has foam poured into the bow area, I figure this was standard practice (law?). Is this foam useless? If there's no point to it it's coming out

From what I understand, the foam only delays the amount of time it will take for the boat to sink. It keeps the front of the bow up long enough for you to get something attached to it so that you can pull it out.

FOURQ you got a deal if I find it I'll PM you immediately... I spent way more money than that just looking for it. I was even charged 15 bucks for a freaking soda that I thought was offered to me. I saw that listed on the receipt.
Nothing like loosing a brand new boat that had maybe 30 minutes on the water on it. Only good memory was testing it at Firebird lake.

I've been waiting for them to repair the dam at Saguaro for 9 years now. When they do this they lower the lake 50% or more. That would make it easier to locate if its still there. Its slated for this winter or Next depending on the drought situation. Not to mention the diving depth would be much safer. Its black water down there so a diver only has 15 minutes total dive time. 5 to get down & back up and 5 to feel around. I've been real patient. There are also trees down there that are like rubber. Its a Bezer that was new and should be sitting straight up. Even if it sunk into the mud & trees its gunna have a point. I have a 3D fish finder that I Finally 350 bucs and a white light torpedo camera That I bought to look for it. I have 200' of 1/8" cable that pulls the torpedo cam but the TV is a B&W and hard to see in daylight.
Appreciate the offer jet454boat. Hey you ought to join us at Bartlett this weekend. Hopefully there will be a good turn out like last year. Lots of Jets & V-drives. Most of all real good people!
Man If I found my boat beers would be on me that weekend! Unlike this guy Later I only ask for prayers. This loss hit me hard. I dam near drown that day and my bro MR V saved my life. I saw the water getting Darker & Darker then he grabbed me by my jacket and pulled me along side a boat that this woman own and was screaming get off me boat over and over. When the sheriff arrived they thought I was committing Insurance fraud. They offered to arrest the woman for not rendering assistance. They drove me to the Lake store and when they heard the guy say 75 bucks for a boat fender the sheriff told him he is about to go to jail for robbery. The boat was still bobbing at this time. DAM That was a bad day. I'm done I'm getting pist again.
Sorry for the novel but this is not later. To bad he burn so many here. I'll take that 10 bucks from Goad & richyrch That'll pay for the day pass:jawdrop: J/K
