WRECKED! Boating gone wrong!

[DAREDEVIL]

No , she could not be fixed, deck twisted , cracks all the way back to the helm, even impact issues in the engine room.
she was a strong boat, built well, the boat did its job and took the hit.
now we are starting to look for the next ride

OFCOARSE SHE CAN BE FIXED !!!!!!!

Bring her down !!!!!!!

it was a lipship 95 topgun, all new graphics from Dave Hunter, new power in 2007
we spent 4 years re doing the boat and in one second it was gone. the repairs went way past the insured value of the boat plus a huge safety issue with the location and extent of the damage. We all walked away and the boat can be replaced.

Dude, I'm sorry to hear that. Pics of the whole boat?

Havasu Tsunami

I have seen these pictures before, what was the cause?

It was a sudden and freak thunder storm with really high winds. Caught people by surprise.

The date is wrong on that camera. I've seen that boat before.:26:

This was in Havasu a couple years ago. Story I heard is it was the guys birthday and they craned it in from the lot next door as a suprise for him. Disconnected the pump so when the drunks fired it up (which they did, I heard)...No go.

That definately reminds me of the old Eliminator adds

did it ever sell, or did the owner trying to sell still own it?

Looks like someone tried to got rid of it the old fashioned way.

I heard through a surveyor friend of mine it was some sort of electrical short... If I remember, some punk kids had just stolen all the stereo equipment and the wires got crossed. That was a nice 50' that came from LOTO.

I was just kidding around, I feel sorry for the owner. Of course in today's market the owner would do better with a total then selling it.

I don't remember what happened, but here was a wreck in OK a couple of years ago.

This boat was Jim Darr's at one time, then sold, and the seller was trying to get 195k for it for a long period of time.. then the price dropped around 135k with a blown motor if i remember reading correctly, have no clue if it ever sold before the electrical issue..

Not sure how much a helicopter cost, but I am betting it was worth many many more dollars than that bow rider they were trying to tow! WTF were they thinking?
