Reminds me of a great story that was in hot boat a few years ago. "Sunken Beauty". About "Clean Sweep II" a blown hydro that was on the bottom of Havasu for 27 yrs or so. Anyone remember that story, and how could we recall it from the Magazine?? Somehow the mag I was saving got tossed, and would like to see it here.....Moneypitt

Yeah, i still have that mag in my pile somewhere :) A shovelnose hydro that took on water and went down and then was found by some divers looking for another boat. Thing was actually in pretty good shape for being underwater so long. A lot of the chrome on the old hemi was still shiney when they knocked the crud off :)

Don't know about that incident.
I've seen quite a few over the years.
At Parker and Havasu the salvage companies charge alot and take their time raising them.
At Castaic & Pyramid, I've seen the lifeguards on several occasions raise them in minutes with a little ingenuity, some rope and the life guard boat.
No BFD when ya see the lifeguards do it.

Desert dog, you are partially correct, but you need to get a little more fact before you start something ugly...

I had a dream the other night that my boat sank! It was a nightmare, and I was glad to wake up and relaize it didn't happen. I cried all day, nonetheless cry
OK, Burt, what really happened?????

Cant remember but I couldnt find the original thread....great article tho. :)

RD I have heard that the Advantage Cat had a leak but did not sink. In fact it was debuted at the Regatta from what I hear.

Hahahahahaha... Summerlove, that's pretty damn funny.
Davis is pretty funny on his own. I like how he has "completely overhauled" Workmans comp. That 2.9% decrease in rates is going to turn this state around :rolleyes: idea :rolleyes:
God, I hope I'm not sorry I made a political joke. Then again, I don't care.

-----------------------------------------------
The reason I posted in the first place was to get the facts.The story going around Havasu is much uglier than what I posted,but it wouldn't be right to post it if it's not true.
If you know what happened then fill us in,otherwise keep your jacked accusations to yourself.

o.k. no problem.I hear the boat is really sweet looking and had some big motors and it ran super fast(I've heard between 120 and 134 mph)but was layed up really light.You know how rumors go though so just looking for some facts on here before I run into someone who works for the factory.

Was that the Advantage I saw take its' maiden voyage a few weeks ago? It had twin Teague 800's I believe. It hit 105 and everybody was extremely happy and giving hi-fives. It looked and sounded awesome.
I was out there taking a test ride on a TopCat and it came in as we were on the docks. I got to talk to the Mercruiser guru for a few minutes and he was also very happy.
If that boat had major problems then I am sure there are a lot of disappointed people.
Someone clarify all of this for me (and the rest of the HB crowd) please.
