Was out at Don Pedro this weekend and heard about this--here are the pics etc., what a bummer. Not sure what happened but from what I heard it went down really quick.

I can see it going down fast its a heavy beast for its size. I have always felt the boat change if the bilge had water when we were riding? Who knows where was the lake?

Wow. How do you sink a boat in Don Pedro except by leaving the drain plug out?

A water pump hose could have come off
A ballast hose also could have come off
One of the 4 exhaust hoses could have been loose and popped off.
A twin engine boat has alot of holes that could possibly let water in very fast. It wouldn't take long for the weight of those 2 engine to bring that boat down.

Just curious is a boat in that condition salvageable? Or will the insureance company just total it? God I hope he had insurance...
