Hello all
yes I sank a 270 Sundeck 2 1/2 weeks ago in Lake Michigan on its maiden voyage!!! Left Burns Ditch for Bridges in Michigan city for a burger and a beer and half way back she misfired. Opened the hatch to find it approx a foot from the top!! Turned toward shore to beach it then within minutes it was going under... Maydayed and some people from Demotte IN saved my family from getting wet...
I wasn't getting off then the coast guard made me go...the whole thing took about 30 minutes and all that was sticking out of the water was the bow....
fast foreward to this Thursday... Picking up a brand new 270SLX
NO MORE USED BOATS!!!!
looking foreward to any suggestions and help in the future...
i will post pics of the old and new very soon!!
