Ok, who thinks this is a 240SD. Sure hope they did not run it aground. Looks like it might have got stuck as the tide went out?
240 SD?? Hurts just looking at it.

I love the fact that the cockpit cover is on. Wouldn't want the cockpit to get any dirt or rain on it!:lol:

Looks to me like they drove it up there, you can see the trail behind it. How do you do that.
Ye I noticed that too, but it did not look big enough if they had driven it up there???
My thoughts too.:thumbsup:

Probably grounded it at a higher tide level. Hope he was smart enough to put an anchor out so it doesn't float away at high tide!:smt021
Don't know, we don't have that much sand up here in the mountains. :lol::smt043:lol:

That looks like a lake. If so, there is no high tide.. I'm guessing he was out at night and maybe had a few drinks?
Or maybe a river??

I think he was trying to do a James Bond move and it didn't go as planned.

Same '06 graphics package as ours Chuck. Made a right turn too soon at night? If it's a damned lake he could have grounded it as they were letting water out. They mess with our lake level this time of year quite a bit with the heavy rains.

I don't see an anchor line out

notice that the cockpit cover is on. My vote is tide. Looks like he got where he was in shallow water. Now it's shallower
By the way that is this weeks "You make the caption" in boattest newsletter.

Ouch. So the next new member that asked if he should replace his impeller after a soft landing, can we ask him if he has a red 240SD?
It does look like the drive created the trail/gouge. Looks like there is not much more damage cosmetically ...just pride.
