First you might want to take a look at my sinking fishing boat at:
http://www.myboatsank.com The photos on this website are of my Grady White Marlin 28. She is a 1990 model and is equipped with twin Yamaha 250 Sal****er Series outboard engines. She also has a four stroke 9.9hp Yamaha kicker motor and all of the fishing gear that you could ever dream of. I purchased the boat at the Seattle Boat Show in late January of 2004 from a local Grady White dealer, Jacobsen's Marine in the Ballard area of Seattle, Washington. She sank seven months later on September 3, 2004 while fishing with my father at the mouth of the Columbia River. Within eight minutes of leaving the safety of the harbor in Ilwaco, Washington the boat had slipped enough water through a cracked open seam in our splash well to fatally condemn our trip. The experience was absolutely terrifying as my father who is in his eighties and I crossed the Columbia Bar, the "Graveyard of the Pacific", in a sinking boat. Worse yet was not knowing why the boat was sinking. Even worse than that was the response I received from both the dealer, Jacobsen's Marine and the company, Grady White of North Carolina. In the near future, this website will provide more photos, details on how My Grady White Sank and marine safety considerations that will certainly make your boat safer. Thanks for letting me know what you guys think. |
