Water "Logged" Rod Site-6

[duffster]

A buddy of mine was over a Site-6 over this past weekend and emailed me these nice photos of what looks like a Water Rod Cat that went down after launching. I guess he forgot to put the plug in or something. He said both blower motors were under water before they pulled it up on the soft concrete. :cry:
By the way thanks Rick good job man.

(their) but otherwise, DITTO! Unless you have a leak of course but then the bilge pumps should take care of any leaks.

Never have pulled ours. No reason

[Starloans]

auto bilge pump???

[BALLSDEEP]

I saw this boat a few different times this weekend. If you saw who was driving it, it would answer all of your questions.
Was there a regatta or something this weekend, becasue there were a bunch of "water rod" owners out on Sunday and in some big boats.

[Kilrtoy]

auto bilge pump???
I guess that is not standard on the best boat on the water B & H WATER RODS

[Mrs.RoxySnow]

We saw that same boat on the way home Sunday nite! Anybody know where "Total Weekend Takeover" originated from?

[BALLSDEEP]

I think they were filming a rap video or somthing.....There was some sexy huge female water rod owners at Martini Bay Friday night that were wearing clothes that they really shouldn't have been.

[Havasu_Dreamin]

I saw that boat on the trailer outside of Audio Innovations on Foothill in Glendora a few weeks ago. I don't understand the look of that thing at all, the transom, is well, weird.

[RitcheyRch]

Soft concrete??? Where do we find this stuff????
He said both blower motors were under water before they pulled it up on the soft concrete. :cry: [/IMG]

Agreed... but if I had a leak, I sure as hell would have it fixed instead of pulling the plug to fix the problem :rolleyes:

My partner told me about that boat on Father's Day, but I hadn't seen it until A few weeks ago....Damn! :cry:

Why wouldn't they name the boats something more fitting like
"It's in my momma's name"
"I got what you need"
"This stuff here sells itself"
"Never Worked"
"Drugs Pay.. and Pay Well"
"What's a W-2?"

[djunkie]

I pull my plug everytime I pull my boat out of the water. It sits low in the water so sometimes I get water in the back. But I've been pretty good about putting it in before I even get close to putting it in the water. Hell usually when I arrive at the house I just go and put it in. The night before that is. :rollside:

Me too. I pull them everynight because of the low freeboard.

[DCBDaytona]

I recognize this Water Rod now...The owner came into the Turtle one day boasting about how his rod goes 148mph LOL, All I could do was laugh. :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

[Sleek-Jet]

I pull my plug everytime the boat leaves the water... always have... haven't forgot to put it back in... yet... :D

Im starting to see a trend with water rod cats and launch ramps. (if anyone remembers that pic of the water rod that fell off the trailer a couple years back. Maybe the owners.?.?.? I think Scoopy should spend more time showing the people that bought the boats how to properlly use them, instead of being mr drill sargent slamming his fist all over his boats to proove how strong they are. :)

[DMOORE]

That just sucks. Truth is, it could happen to anyone. Sorry to see it. I tend not to laugh at things like that. You know the whole "carma thing". Who knows, could be my dumb a$$ next.

That was an AFTERSHOCK/CARRERA /BURNING boat

[Sleek-Jet]

Not really... the last thing I do before hopping in the boat on the ramp is check the plug... if I think I've forgot it, I'll hop out and check... paranoid helps.

I think thats Scoopys new boat. It was in powerboat mag a year or so ago. I think they have only made 2 of those 31 cats and I think that one is his. It has twin teague 800's.

There are 2, and that one has twin 800's but it's not Scoopy's. I'm told by a reliable source that it was not a plug problem, the boat hit something in the water that damaged the hull but was not identifiable at speed. When they slowed at Site 6, they started taking on water and were forced to run it up to the ramp or sink.

[playdeep]

...I can't believe no one has a picture of the rear swimstep area on those 31's.
As someone alluded to earlier in this thread,it's pretty unique :rolleyes:

[bignet]

Can you say stereotypical?
Can you say....ignorant?

[Kilrtoy]

No RD is not....

[NOTALENT]

Ouch...that looks painful....sure sank quick....I made it to the channel before I noticed.... :cry: Freezing cold water too....Sucked going underwater to put the damn plug in....So I made my brother do it...He needed a ride back to the launch afterwards... :crossx:

I would say that changes alot of the views in this thread but they will never admit it.

When I replaced the transom wood in my boat, I glassed over the hole.
No plugs needed.
That is what bilge pumps are for.

No, I would suppose not. Bigotry is alive and well here at ***boat.com.

Jesus you guys gotta get some better jokes... That one is pretty played out, and let me fill you in on another peace of information. I SOLD THE BOAT.
Let me help you out though becuase I wouldn't want my lemmings to go with out.. the new one on the horizon is going to be
"It's in my Girlfriends name" Becuase she bought a boat. ;) and I'm currently boatless.

[Kilrtoy]

Coming from the king of ignorant, that's almost an indictment.

Actually that was the guys from Water rod taking the boat out for a water test.
The new owner is the guy on the dock with his hands on his head.

Can you say "CANCELL THAT CHECK" :cry:

[shadow]

You would think so.The guy actually took the boat and had it up until about a year or so ago.
My winch never gets disconnected till the back of the boat is in the water for just that reason.

I'm anal. Since I saw that picture a couple of years ago not only does the winch not get detached but I also have a second strap that I have hooked on. The both get attached before pulling out of the water too.

[slowinhavasu]

I would never call my wife a winch..lol....
My sources tell me that this was the effort to put it back on the trailer after it took on water....alot of water... :skull:

I would never call her that either...I know better :)
