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!

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

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.

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  |

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 
Lotta bottom paint on some of the boulders out there.  |
