Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Hard to imagine that there's much to salvage- maybe some hard parts on the side that was up, not down, but all the wiring, the engines, etc- all gone. It would be years work to gut the boat, dry it all out, rewire it and rebuild everything. It's a shame. Drunken fool.

And my insurance will probably go up because of this.
Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Wouldn't surprise me if there isn't insurance on the boat. If there is the carrier may have an out because of the circumstances with being intoxicated, including the previous arrests, especially if he failed to disclose those on the policy application and or renewal. Can't remember if the press mentioned insurance coverage? There's sort of a tip off for no insurance because the carrier would have made an effort to get the boat out of the surf right away, to protect the value of the asset and also to keep their name out of the press for not moving the boat avoiding the Enviros getting excited.

What was the big deal with getting through that inlet with only one engine? :D

He couldn't take his steering hand off the Long Island Ice Teas.
Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Great inlet, 1 engine, 2 engines, day, night, 25 knots NE, etc. My guess is he had it on the pilot and awoke from the LI ice teas when they hit the beach. Btw, what 63 old drinks those things anyway?

I'm with you. Asleep at the wheel. Or asleep not at the wheel, depending.

Remember the Canadian ferry on the west coast ?
Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Does anyone know what engine It HAD :( and horsepower? Would also like to know the size of the wheels. I'm looking to re-prop Fair Well boats are close to the same. Would give me a good starting point.
