TurboRust Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I came across a Dad and his two small kids sunk at alum today in their 14 ft fiberglass boat, apparently a larger boat pulling kids in a tube got withing20-30ft off the side of his boat and the wake entered the rear corner of the boat engulfing it and sinking them. Everyone is safe, but the boat is going to be trashed and is going to cost him $1000 to get it towed from the bottom of alum creek. Be careful and Be aware of other boaters out there guys.. It could have been way worse than just losing a boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 WOW! glad to hear all is good. is there any liability on the part of the other boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 How the hell will they get it up from the bottom? That is nuts. Alum is fairly deep if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 This is why I quit going to Alum Creek years ago. Hell it's a bitch to launch/load a boat with all the idiots at the ramp, last time I was there we watched a guy sink his buddies pickup backing it down the ramp.

That's going to happen at any boat ramp. Alum creek tried to fix this by expanding there launch at the marina area. Its huge now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Grandpa has a 16 fit skeeter bass boat with a very shallow draft that always concerns me a bit when there's much of a chop. I always have lifejacket and can swim fine, but it's still a little spooky. I had it one memorial day at buckeye and thought I might die.

jeffro Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Was out there today from 5-8. Couldnt have asked for better weather. The retard i went with launched from the cheshire ramp, pulled the boat into that big cove right by the dock with the tube, and wanted to beach it in the dirt there and swim. What a stupid fucking idea. First, who goes out on a boat just to moore off on the shore, and and second the last thing i want is a fuck hook or broken glass in my feet. Anyways, glad those people were okay. The lake was busy today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Did/can he track down the d-bag on the other boat and hold him accountable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpooledUp Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Did/can he track down the d-bag on the other boat and hold him accountable? He said that water patrol tracked him down but they couldn't do anything because there were no whiteness for the flyby that actually sunk the boat.

Nick Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I was there all day saturday, and it was busy. My boat is a 22ft, it gets really choppy when its crowded. I cant imagine why you would be out there with a 14' boat in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a guy take a huge amount of water over the stern just trying to put it on the trailer a few weeks ago... didn't take much of a wave LOL, no wake area didn't help much!
