Re: 70 Hatteras Sinks
What a shame... another article said loss of power and anchor didn’t set. Looking at the weather you can tell getting a good set would have be tricky without a lot of scope.

70 Hatteras Sinks
The story around here is that they ran out of fuel in the tank/s they were using while underway and when they switched the valve to the other tank/s they apparently got airlock and lost power and drifted into the rocks which punched a hole in the hull causing it to sink.
The boat was sealed, pumped out and then raised out of the water and towed to a yard in Sandusky where the insurance company supposedly totaled the boat.
The owners are currently shopping for a newer & bigger Hatt.
We've docked near that boat several times at the Crew's Nest at PIB(Put-in-Bay), it was a nice one.
I'll try to find and post links of the story here later. I forgot about this...Hard work pays off in the future.
Laziness, pays off now!

Good reason to add auxiliary fuel pump.
