  1. I’ll be dipped!! I’m betting that rope was sucked into the impeller, they just kept trying to let her eat, and put the hammer down, causing it to seal itself off with mud and sand etc. so, the engine was sealed up tight.

  2. Hey guys, US191 here from Arizona. Donno if you have heard the whole story about that boat, but I know the owner and recall the stories from when it went down. He always told me how they would humorously say a little prayer to the "Gods of Worldly Mechanics" each time they passed over that point on future lake trips. Good to see it raised from the dead and perhaps one day returned to the water. And don't worry- I am quite certain he does NOT want it back! That was a long time ago, we were a lot younger and wilder then.

    Thanks for sharing.

  3. A group of Lake Powell kayakers I belong to has been watching that boat slowly emerge for a couple of years. We found an old wallet with ID in a diaper bag that was under the bow, if you are interested in who the owner was let me know.

  4. My dudes! Cassette tapes are very simple devices. Rinse it out real good, FF/rewind it a couple times to loosen it up and that sucker will PLAY! Would be awesome to slap that in a deck and blast it on the first cruise! Rock on!

  5. I would be willing to bet that was that boats first day on the water when it sank, they likely let off the throttle to fast and swamped the boat the problem I see is if water got into the wood frame of the boat it swells and cracks the fiberglass if it was new and didn't have any micro cracks for water to seep in that would be amazing

  6. years ago i saw blown up race blocks that had sat outside in snow rain for years, anywhere the synthetic oil soaked in did not corrode your boat might have had synthetic protecting even underwater.

  7. It sank while being towed behind the houseboat on a family vacation back in the 90's. As I recall, waves had kicked up somewhat and the boat started swaying side to side. There is a "sweet spot" for rope length when being towed. The reason the boat was being towed was for water skiing and exploring outward from the houseboat once it was anchored. I believe it went down near mile 13. Anyhow- it probably had already be taking on water for some time and was getting heavy/low and eventually just got swamped from the side. It went down very fast. You would have to talk to Rob (the owner) for better details. He might have some old pictures… I donno, but I can ask him. Someone below commented on a diaper bag? It's possible since his daughters would have been about that age back then. I'll ask Cheyrl if she lost one.. but that was soooo long ago. And yes, we all still listen to Van Halen.

  8. Hello this is David Cain and I'm contacting you in with you a Merry Christmas can a k a n e happy Merry Christmas and God bless you I enjoy your shows I can't say too much cuz they think don't work
