A few weeks ago, we were headed out to fish and saw this awful sight on our main canal.<br /><br />Although you can't tell there are 2-200 Mercs under water. The boat appeared to be fairly new and around 23'.<br /><br />Best we could tell is that the bilge didn't work and someone towed it into the canal. When we returned from fishing it was gone.<br /><br />

Looks like someone tied her up there at high tide, but did'nt account for the low tide.. Not all that uncommon...

No, it wasn't the tide change. Ours is usually a foot or less. You can't see it in the pics but there is a small dia. cable from the t-top to the house pilings.<br />It's there to keep the boat from rolling the rest of the way. <br />I'm not sure what caused it. we had been out fishing the night before and the boat wasn't there when we came back in about 9:00 PM. These pics were taken at 8:00 AM the next morning. I almost think it might have been a serious case of getting to the canal house late, launch in a hurry so it'll be ready to go in the morning. Plug?????? What Plug?????

Not a pretty sight.<br /><br />Even if it was caused by a SHT you have got to feel sorry for the owner. Lets just hope that not a lot of damage was done.
