A friend of mine had a very bad day on Sunday when a wave disabled his boat and filled it with water. The sheriff's dept and the Coastgaurd rescued them 5 miles out in front of Dunkirk. He asked me to please post a note to let fellow fisherman know that his boat is still floating. With the past easterly wind he believes it would now be between Dunkirk and Barcelona. If seen, please let the harbor master know, as I know he could use all the help he can get. Thank you fellow fisherman. God Bless.
I'm glad he is OK........
I hope he has insurance........it has to be a horrible feeling to have that happen.
The coast guard was issuing warnings and the coordinates of the sunk boat all day Monday...I'm sure they have an idea where it is.
Wow...glad there ok and thank god it's August lake temps some what. I hope he gets things worked out. Any details to what angle the wave broke over the hull? and was he trolling or underway?
Good Questions. I would like to know the details also.Quote:

It should be on the trailer by now !!!!!!!!!
Has the boat been recovered yet?
Did boat get recovered yet?
Think it was out 8/13/15 . I don't know, but it might be ready for the water already. Maybe someone has an update?
It is up and running. It's in good shape besides the 2 down riggers that were stolen off of it. I don't think he's figured out how it sunk. Both bilge pumps work he said.
Can't believe some scumbag stole his riggers when he was already down & out!
The scumbags should be castrated.
He might want to check how big the bilge pumps are, I know many people have 1000 gallon per hour pumps, I have seen some pumps are 100 gph. Just a thought.
