Not my picture, apparently it just happened on the west coast FL, may have been anchored and got loose in this week blow
Looks like a nice early 70s 53MY

Such a shame. At one time that was somebody’s dream. Now it becomes a nightmare.

Breaks my heart! I hope the love and money are available to bring her back to cruising again.

These ole gals are tough. Water line looks intact.
She may just be sitting there with min damage.
Set some kedges, bag her and wait for next high water.

Where in SW Florida, do you know? We're in Ft Myers, but that looks like a Hat that was in 'methhead marina' in North Ft Myers, and didn't take any apparent damage except cosmetic from Ian then disappeared. That one was being sold on CraigsList as a "DIY fixer upper" but nobody in this area knew anything other than that engines were shot.
