60 foot Hatteras ran over the old Sow
 

Its sitting over at Fairhaven Shipyard now.

Tore one prop, shaft and strut off.
Tore a stabilizer off
Drove the other stabilizer and prop/shaft/strut up through the hull

20 foot long crack along the edge of the hull below the water line and a few other man sized holes in the hull.

Was doing approx. 30-40 knots when it hit pigs.

Insurance company totaled it.

Good job!

:hs: :hs: :doh: :doh:

as long as no one got hurt =GOTTA love it :happy:

Everytime I see that reef I get the willy's. couldnt imagine running into that not knowing it was there.:(

It was on autopilot with nobody manning it...

Probably sitting there reading a book while it happily plowed towards the boulders.

Autopilot at that speed? Wow.

Why wouldn't the autopilot know the reef was there as a hazard?

That reef can eat anything.

It always amazes me when I lfish that place, look at my sounder and it reads 24' and 6' to my starboard is the top of a bolder awash.

I would like to throw my dive gear on someday and see what is under there. I bet it's even scarier down under:eek5: :eek5:

Or down in the cockpit pounding down a few beers, like the two maroons who ran their sportfisher up onto False Bar at Montauk a few years back.

I think if you hit at 30 knots, you gotta be drunk not to break something on yourself and not just on the boat :hs:

House size rocks, human sized stripers and more lobsters hiding in the rocks than you can shake a stick at.

The shaft that was sitting out there (was "informed" by the salvage diver on that job) magically was gone by yesterday morning...

Thats alot of scrap stainless :D

Lotta bottom paint on some of the boulders out there. :laughs:
