went on a 5 day trip on a yauht on lake powell down in the south eastern part of utah, northeast part of arizona... just got back

well the trip was amazing went to the arch tried to see as mutch of the lake as possible. just a wild wonderfull, beautiful place. on sat afternoon it was a little windy and we where out by navajo mt. on are way back to waheyp marina a rope with a fender ( the rubber thing so the boats dont bang up on the docks) get's caught up in the props. we stop to get it out and start noticing seat's to a boat and life jakets all over floating around. then we notice a very nice well equiped malibu wakeboard bout just filled with watter about to cap size and sink. ( took pics!!)

turns out no one was hurt. the boat was being towed by a house boat and had took on water, the rich little basterd's they are decide to cut the rop and let it sink!!!! now something dosent add up here!!!!! they didnt try to save anything.... cut the rope and let it sink.

there had to be 2-3k in wake boards allone. a 2-3k sound system on it and the boat it'self is a expensive boat!!!

i'll get the pic of it on here as soon as i get home.

but all in all... it was pretty sweet, but sad at the same time.

Yeah cause, it's so worth it to lose both boats cause one's ****ed. It probably would have just sunk the house boat. Chances are the house boat is flat bottomed, which means the ends will pull under pretty easily...

i would have at least tried to bail it out or something.....salvaged as much out of it as possible before it sank.....and maybe tied a buoy to it so I could have it pulled back up....

I **** sure wouldn't have let it sink

****, i couldnt imagine if i flipped my wakeboat. Although ours is about 30k less than most maliblings.. Those boats are sexy, but Budget moombas ftw.

these house boats are 30-40ft wide. 80-60ft long..... no way this little wake board boat would sink it.!!
