This is horrible to hear. Like everyone has said before glad to see no one got hurt. Goodluck getting things put back together!!!!!
One thing I've learned over the years is DON"T try not to shut the engines down... Have someone drive the boat and peek in to see if you can see where the water is coming from...
Those two raw water pumps on the engines can quickly become two massive bilge pumps. If you've got ball valves on your pickups. all you have to do is pull a hose- or pop the caps on the strainers.
As far as why it failed- maybe GL will fugure it out, but most likely the cause was destroyed in the damage. Sometimes it's a simple bump that makes a crack. At 120mph, that water is exerting some massive pressure. A little crack becomes a spot that lifts and then you have a barn door in a tornado. Or it could be dozens of other causes.
The only boats that don't break are the one's that stay on the trailer.

I was worried over break downs some time ago, speaking to a buddy and he pointed out they don't break sitting I thought to my self that is true never looked at it like that before
Every time I see a boat sitting on the pavement with no straps anywhere to be seen, I wonder if the guy would put an open bushel basket of hundreds on the roof of his car and drive around.

Well, that's true, but why would you have looked at it like that before?
If someone leaves their boat on the trailer because they're afraid to break it, they shouldn't have it in the first place!

To tell you the truth I have no idea why I never looked at it that way:leaving: I am a freak about maintenance and always worry about break downs. I really have had only one I don't run anything that has high HP, or anything on the edge you could say. I snowmobile and I go way over board making sure my stuff is in the best condition it can be same as the boat. But the truth of it is anything at any time can happen and I am learning that every day

I am the same way about keeping my equipment in the best shape possible. I like it to look brand new at all times. :cheers2:
