Absent without leave is more like it.

I wish my boat had a place for one of those lights. I keep trying to figure out where I could mount one on my boat. Just for grins.

Heard from reliable source that same boat "ran into island" in the Bahamas earlier this year and was repaired there.

The question is, who had the right of way?

[GCSI]

Jack, Jack Daniels

And the Tv dome should still be good

No reason for it to be on it side beside the fact you have all these Gov agency's standing around saying we should do this or maybe that, and what if

That should have been off the beach in 24 hrs.

I've been in the market for a SatTV dome! Admirals getting bored w/ docks basic cable!
Maybe they'll also salvage some other equipment but this (very very sad) boats history cast a huge doubt about anything on her. Or this bozo will just keep re-floating & repairing her (obviously cannot see anyone would want to buy her except for salvage especially if the island grounding is her as seen in previous pics). It does certainly hurt to see such a magnificent, beautiful vessel end up in such a negligent/ reckless (complete idiot more or less)owner. As Endless stated, she's 'History'! Dan's also correct that she should have been off within 24hrs.

But I have a feeling this will not be the last we hear of this guy right?

Just a quick update. The owner of the vessel has been given thru the end of the weekend to remove the vessel, or be subject to fines. The captain has been charged. That's all so far. (The city and county are hoping he can come up with the money to remove it so the taxpayer doesn't get stuck with the bill). This view from Channel 25 shows how close to the inlet was...

The bottom looks in great shape. Fresh paint, clean running gear, and from what I can see not one Blister! Huh, who would've known? The bottom is in much better shape then the "Bottom Dweller" captain. Tony

So the captain isn't the owner? Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice said. The plot thickens.

If all the people who got screwed by this guy ever get together, he's going to end up wearing cement boots at the bottom of some channel.

Why are the props and rudders so far from the back of the boat?

Usually from a cockpit extension.
