OUCH!! :eek2: Oh man, that really sucks. Brand new? Were they able to retrieve it?

Well the insurance covered the boat, but I guess word got out to the Park service and the brought out there big......?????? I don't know what the hell it is called, but it is a flat boat that is fairly long and has a crane jib on it. The boat was in about 20 feet of water and they pulled it up no sweat. Once they got it to the top, they fired up the big sump pump and started pumping water out until it was floatable. It was still considered a total loss do to the fact that the flash flood had left quite a bit of silt everywhere on it. That and all the electronic equipment was shot to hell.

Which reminds me.... has anybody ever scuba dived Lake Powell? My old man is certified and took me down there quite a bit. It is amazing what you can find on the bottom of that Lake. Golf clubs, fishing poles, lawn chairs, beach towels, CD cases, mermaid prostitutes.....oh wait, didn't find any of those. The funnest thing to do by far though was shoot large mouth bass with a spear gun. The strippers were to scared to swim up to you, but those friggin' large mouth had no qualms about swimming right up to your face to check things out. Same with the bluegill, but they are harder to hit.

That would be frickin' awesome. Although, I'd probably be pretty creeped out in the murky deep.
