The hull was breached right in front of the fore tracking fin and the force of the impact partially drove that first fin into the boat & damaged the second fin ... the 3rd fin is untouched. Rudder & prop remain on the boat and are relatively undamaged due to the main force of the impact being towards the middle of the hull where the tracking fins are located. Fortunately no one was seriously injured in the accident.
Water was immediately evacuated from the Ford 351 engine & transmission; the drivetrain was salvaged by a professional boat mechanic.
My question: do you think the damaged hull, intact but once-submersed drivetrain & trailer are of interest to anyone? If so I will post photos.
The boat is located in Old Forge, NY.
Thank you, Doug
