It'd be nice to hear how this happened.

Are you new? Obviously a wake boat

There was a comment in the video about how it was draining water because the plugs were already out. Not sure if that was because they pulled them under water, or if that was the root cause.

I would venture to say pulled as part of the recovery operation. The girl stated " he decided to sink his boat" I interpreted that to mean he got it loose and had a ooopsie. The long crack in the cap on the deck would suggest that too. Bummer deal for sure when just out having some lake fun. I hope no passengers were injured in the play.

I don't know, you think that if the plugs weren't in, it'd take on a hell of alot of water backing it in.

Pretty good viz being at 35 feet I’d say….

Before this gets beat to death with speculation and assumption. It actually just ran out of fuel and got swamped from boat wakes in the main channel.

The crack on the deck was from how it came to rest on the rocky bottom surface.

The plugs were pulled during the recovery to drain the water out as the boat began to surface while being towed.

This could've been prevented if one of the boats passing by had the decency to stop and offer some help. Rather than continuing to drive right on by another boater in distress, thus making an unfortunate situation even worse.

That happened at a classic boat meet-up thing. I was there that weekend, but not out on the water. That was the weekend the stator decided to crap out on my boat. I'm not too sure what happened but I know he was running with some jets at the time and somehow went down. The other boats were able to get a rope and a float on the bow eye from what I heard and this guys came with the bags and dive gear to get it back up to the surface. I heard they did the right thing and had it fired that evening. Not sure if or what structural damage was done.

Hey Bud! Glad to see you posting again. Been a couple times out there I was concerned about the same thing happening to me when I had to switch tanks.

How did that flat run that weekend?

And there you have it folks…. Shit happens!

I’m going to try and bring my junk down in the spring for a WCRO event. Doesn’t seem like anyone wants to buy it, so I’m going to do some traveling with it and have fun.

Sad to see it actually sink to the bottom, growing up on the Parker strip in the 70's I was involved in many swamps, usually they were up and running the next morning if not the same night. the faster they dredged them and drained fluids to get it running the better.
It was not uncommon to see a guy waving down help as he road the bow of his pride and joy past our campsite at Kinders.
