It was probably an insurance job. If your boat sinks, you would never just leave it. Because of the oil and fuel in the engine, The state department of natural resources would never let you just leave it. It's a pollution hazard and a navigation hazard. The likely scenario is, it was taken out and intentionally sunk. It was reported stolen and the insurance was collected on it.

@ingluv Год назад
@@andrewmcgibbon9785 If it had been blown away from mooring during a monsoon and sank, nobody would have known where to begin searching the bottom of the entirety of Lake Powell. It could be as simple as being overloaded by a hundred pounds and swamped the transom. If there was no insurance, the cost of recovery from 100' below, even with a known location, would have been outrageous. Either way it would be a write-off. What do you see that makes you automatically assume foul play by the legal owner?

The boat had sunk from negligence and I got it for almost nothing. I replaced the pump bearings and reshimmed. Replace the crank and bearings because of corrosion. After that, it was a VERY GOOD ride. We did a lot of skiing and a lot of fishing with that boat. I hope you have as much fun rebuilding yours as I did mine.

My uncle made a pontoon boat, and filled the aluminum pontoons with expanding foam, and he used to run it up on sans bars, and people would tell him that it would sink after that, not knowing he had done that. He also never put the plugs in it, and everyone "knew" it would sink.

I have an idea on how the boat went down. I used to live in AZ, I had a Hallett Jet Boat with a Berkeley pump, and my friends all had jet boats too. One day, we were out on the lake, being idiots (you could drink and boat back then in the 90's) and my buddy in his jet boat tried to do a "James Bond turn-around" basically a 360, which he had done many times before. However, this time, the boat augered in, ejected him and his buddy, went down stern-first, bobbed in the water for a minute or 2 because there was an air pocket in the closed bow. We immediately devised a recovery plan, and at that moment the bow cap split open from the hull, made a farting noise as the air escaped and it immediately sank. Ah, the good ol days!

I had a Sleekcraft, with a 455 Olds and a Jucuzzi jet. The motors were bought as a crate motor from the manufacturer and installed by the builder. The motor in mine was referred to by Olds as a, marine / irrigation motor. But, like you’re saying, many were replaced or sourced from other places. For as low as they sat, it was real easy to get water breaking over the transom on stops, and I wonder if that ain’t what sunk this one?

That's a nice hull, with those lines she is going to fly! And, being a jet unit it may actually live since there's no gearbox to rust, she may just need an overhaul and an engine.

Merlin was 22 in 1993, it is all in your perspective-I would consider him still young! I have 9 years on him.

I don't know which looks worse, Lake Powell or Lake Mead. Colorado would have to have ten inches of rain daily for a year to full both lakes. This is very bad. We went through a five year dry spell in Texas a few years ago. Our lakes never looked that bad. My wife said Lake Ray Hubbard would never have full pool any more. In one spring season, back over the spillway. Hopeful it will happen there soon. I will pray for you guys.

To be honest , after seeing the valve covers , it looks like a nail head from a Pontiac ( could be wrong though )

Hey, y'all, Thank you for taking the effort to clean the area around the boat. Showing it as being just part of what you normally do is a strong example for others to follow suit. This is a great video for going on an adventure, too. It makes me wanna do more 4-wheeling! My guess on the tape is something like ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) from the late 70's or maybe some old school country. Also, I hope to hear what the original owners can share about the boat's demise. Hey, maybe that's a good name for it: Demise, or Powell's Demise. Whatdya think?

OMG Hunter was cracking me the Fuk up when he was the Wicked Witch of the West with those feet dangling out from the dashboard and his commentary of the mice had me ROTFL so hard 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve seen many times jet boats that are driven by people who don’t know how jet boats should be driven you just don’t stop real quick, the back will fill up with water and sink that model I’ve seen on Shasta lake many times go under great jet boat you will enjoy it very much have fun

That was my thought. I think people are trying too hard to come up with creative scenarios. Stopping fast in a low-slung boat and getting swamped by the wake is way too easy and I imagine it's pretty common.

Would like to nominate Hunter for consideration as "Fab Rats December Employee of the Month" for literally facing down the herd of wildlife that had commandeered the Yellow Submarine. He is quite deserving of being awarded the fabulous plaque and generous gift certificate.
