@lostindiancamp down here the fines for leaving a vessel sunk are extraordinary. I can't remember exactly how much it is but i I'm pretty sure it also includes a felony for environmental damage or something. I heard of a guy who's flats boat's battery died and filled up with water and sunk in the canal and he never pulled it out. He had like a $80,000 fine and that was only a 17 foot boat
Dang, sorry to see that awesome boat go sown like that. Just goes to show you we can never be to careful or safe no matter where you are. Hope its fixed and chasing fish by now!!!
@LibertaerUeberAlles Naaa , you should watch the Interceptor / pilot boat vids on here . Molded fiberglass , super strong no bilge rust out like steel or rott like wood .
I'm surprised by how those pilots can seemingly withstand any weather, despite not having ballasted keels. (Obviously, ballast would make it too slow for chasing ships.)
One problem with fiberglass hulls for ocean sailing: they puncture! I know that the good ones are relatively safe, and I've sailed passages on one w/out too much concern, but the corner of a floating cargo container might just cause a catastrophe. All depends on how confident u want to feel while sleeping :-)
at least there can be no more excuses for not doing a deep clean on the interior, lol... please excuse the pun... haha ..anyway , it's a good story for the grand children..
omg hahahah this guy below a few comments said he would stick with his four winns hahahaha omg dude have you ever been on something bigger than a lake boat, this is a real mans toys with an accident
@radbcc They still have to remove the boat regardless. If they leave it there, it's a hazard to navigation. If it sunk fully, and was in deeper water, not able to pose a threat to other boats/ships, you'd be on the money though.
Need an another one? I can help.

A good reason for building in steel. Unfortunately, most American sailboats are built the flimsy way: fiberglass.
Steel powerboats can handle storms, too, but they need ballasted keels.
