    Trying to keep her afloat

    This boat is side tied to our marina and it seems every couple of months it starts to sink. This is the third time we have had to put in electric pumps to try to save it. This is what happens when you are an absentee owner with little to no money. Such a shame, it was once someones dream.

    Not sure why it came in sideways.

    Is the boat worth anything?
    If your saving the boat from sinking, maybe some salvage rights?

    Thats the yachtfisherman? Give him $5000 to take it away. The boat looks terrible when you get within 30 feet of her.

    It’s a piece of junk only good for parts. It did however come back up during the night. Now the harbor mater needs to kick them out before it sinks and the harbor gets hit for the bill.

    Is it rainwater that just doesn’t get pumped out?

    No, the shafts leak, the Rudders leak, there are threw hulls that are also leaking. It hasn’t rained here in months. It’s just the lack of maintenance.
