It very well could be they thought they were just waving at them. It was very rough out there from what I was told. This morning GW said the boat washed up on a sandy bar. My friend is handling the recovery and has found a local to go "retrieve" (its a duck site ) my boat. It is a 2000 X21 Xpress with a 225 yamaha. Not sure what it was worth sense its 2000 but it was a nice fishing boat for me. I stripped all carpet out a few years ago and had liner sprayed in it. To me it was a crappie/sandy/catfish boat but my bud used it to fish bass tournaments. Its a very nice bass boat if you want to use it that way. (Large deck)

Looks like that boat has 24 inch side and 21 inch transom, is that right? I would like to think that would be enough boat, did the waves come over the sides or transom? Was the bilge pump working? Glad everyone is ok.

He said they lost all power. No bilge, motor, horn, trolling motor...nothing worked. Waves came over transom and sides some.

BTW what would cause such a power failure?

Can you believe I finally got a round to fixing my trim? It was stuck in a good spot, so I been fishing all summer with it like that. But with teal season approaching, I needed to take action. The pic above, the first pair of connections coming from the trim is on the left, so I started there and that was it. I had full 12 volts coming out of each wire, so I knew that was it. One wire was trimp up, the other was wire down. Can't believe those connections failed after only 2 seasons, so I solder it, works like a champ now...

You should solder professionally.

That's what I was thinking, I'm a natural, hey that's not bad Foosh for being ADD.
