River Rumor is it caught fire around 10pm last night.
Shitty way to end your day/weekend[/QUOTE
About 30 yrs. ago I had a friend who's jet boat sunk "mysteriously" on the anchor on the beach at echo lodge. Only one on the beach that night. I told him we could have it running in short time if we got on it now and all would be ok. He wasn't interested in that resolution. Additionally, he let it sit wet for about a week before he pilled it to a shop for his insurance claim repair. He had a fresh bote by the end of summer when all was said and done.
Kenny just called and asked me about it. Rob called him asking if we knew the boat.
Question. If law enforcement gets involved, does that complicate things for the owner?? Or do they (LEO), just provide a safety net for the guys pulling the boat and prevent idiots from running them over while in the water??
Guys are from Castle Rock
Oh damn. If you get a better pic of the boat, we might know them. Glad all are OK!

$200 a linear ft. Friends sunk on his buoy no all the way under. Was over $4K. Problem was insurance paid but with the amount they cut him short on the check for total loss. Took them less than a hour = easy money.Good to know! I've heard the recovery cost quoted as high as $5K in Parker. Which includes the bitchy people in dive gear and cute floaties.
So now his truck is stuck? What a weekend.
When our ramp was closed I tried to pull my boat out in the same spot. Sand is soft there and got stuck. Sure someone pulled him out my buddy is there with a lifted 4x4 F350 if needed.So now his truck is stuck? What a weekend.

The owner appeared to recover it himself with buddies. Truck was pulled out by another truck.So now his truck is stuck? What a weekend.

I say knock down that wall and let it roll.If it was as nice as rock house there would be a line.
How did it sinkThe last sank boat I dealt with I had running again in 4 hours. No damage except pride.
Don’t forget to pull the drive grease the unoints if they haze zerks grease the gimbal bearing and get the water out of the bellows.Drain fluids. Fill motor full of diesel fuel. Spin it over a bunch with the plugs out. Then drain the Diesel fuel. Put fresh oil and filter in it. Drain fuel tanks and blow out fuel lines. Install fresh fuel and plugs. Empty drive oil and replace with fresh. Get it started and drive it. Get it hot so any remaining water in the oil gets boiled off. All done ASAP very little harm will be done.

That's pretty quick 405. On any given weekend at the circle boat races this can typically be seen completed in between rounds if theirs no other damage. hahaThe last sank boat I dealt with I had running again in 4 hours. No damage except pride.
