I even had brand new ropes on bow and stern. >:( At least it didn't hit the beach that way, and it is insured.
So, anyone I promised ling or shrimp fishing to, there might be some issues. At least I have the Trophy to get out of here if I need to.

Is this the boat that was beached last week that we all commented on? I have to give you an A on your effort in getting a new one. :chuckle: All joking aside, that really sucks.
Uh yeah, shhh, the first try didn't work.... :cryriver:
No way on the $200, border runners would kill for my stealth boat. ;)

Daant loki that suckkkks. How big was that thing?Jeeeesh. Thats horrible. Where was it tied up at? Your own dock or what. Ever think of building some kind of pontoon style shed for it?

Just had a crazy wind change that caught me by surprise. Also, our new dock bounces a lot more than the old one as it is lighter. This may have contributed to the stern rope wearing through. A lot of my gear floated and blew up on the beach. I'll have to try to snag my three fishing rods when it gets moved.

So another interesting day on the island, winds out of the south strong but not horrible. Had to go to Lopez and back so tied to the dock on my return. Around noon, I guess, the wind switched to the west and picked up to 50+mph, unfortunately, where my house is, this wind direction is not very noticeable. I went down this afternoon to find my new stealth boat. :yike: :bash: :bash: :bash:
I even had brand new ropes on bow and stern. >:( At least it didn't hit the beach that way, and it is insured.
So, anyone I promised ling or shrimp fishing to, there might be some issues. At least I have the Trophy to get out of here if I need to.
So are you going to change your handle to unlucky dog? I just saw a high and dry boat post and now a wet and wild...my bad humor...good luck!

Now that sucks!!!! Are they replacing the boat or trying to salvage this one?
They are going to total it. That's fine for the hull, as all I have to do is pay salvage cost to get it back and rewire it myself, but the engine is only paid for at BlueBook value less $500 deductable (=$3940) which I don't get because we had $6000 on it. :dunno: The motor shop estimated starting at $5500 to repair it. :( I have to figure out a value for that Ming Vase that I used to hold my dodgers and those two solid gold downrigger balls that I lost... since there is coverage for unattached and personal items.
Sorry about your boat, this way you can clean the bottom before it gets righted.
I actually made the comment that it would be easy to powerwash the bottom now.
It comes out of the water tomorrow and into the shop.

Post by: lokidog on March 22, 2013, 08:45:02 PM
Lost a bit of fishing gear, GPS, Depth Finder/GPS, spotlight, fishing net (broken but there), batteries, master switch, nav lights, wiring harnesses, maybe the control box, tachometer, dash switches, cigarette lighter/power outlet, VHF radio, a few pliers and screwdrivers, three flashlights (one cheapy actually came on but then couldn't be turned off), fire extinguisher (maybe), sunglasses, and auto inflating PFD (which didn't auto inflate apparently :o ). The three sets of seats have saltwater filled cushions. I'm guessing the compass will be OK as should the hydraulic steering system. I'll have to rewire the fuse panel, fuel guage, bilge pump and nav lights, and master switch. The starboard side window must have hit the dock and cracked but did not bust out. The canopy was thrashed but the tubing might be salvageable. The fuel tank will need to be pumped and cleaned as well.
Here is a five minute video of righting the boat.
If you ever have to use Vessel Assist, by all means use the one based out of Friday Harbor as the one at Coronet Bay did not seem as professional. VHF Channel 16 or 24 Hr dispatch (800) 391-4869, Captain Deb Fritz. You can join Vessel Assist for $150 a year. Our insurance would cover tow costs to $500 for a disabled boat, but the actual cost could be $600+ depending where you are and where you're going.

Wow....Weathergirl goes away and all hell breaks loose. Sorry to here that man. Hope your year picks up...Lingcod is right around the corner :tup:
She was actually back for this, brought her home the night before it rolled. She took the video. The diver found my anchor, rods and a tackle box. My net was tangled on the boat with several broken dodgers caught in it.

Fortunately boat can be replaced ...... hope this will not hurt you much financially
Post by: lokidog on March 29, 2013, 10:06:58 PM
With the money left over from the hull, we can buy a new motor, but holy crap, at a little over ten grand, installed, it hurts! We will have just enough left to get a new canopy made and buy a new GPS, I'm sending the old one in to Lowrance, but with their customer service record, I'm not holding my breath. It sure would be nice to get my fishing spots back. :( My Humminbird GPS/Depthfinder actually survived two days underwater, GO HUMMINBIRD! :tup: The batteries seem to be fine as well after being charged up. Have to buy new nav lights and get my spotlight fixed, again. My net got thrashed but I have another one with mono-type mesh so I will just transfer the knotless net to that frame. I also need a new fuel level sensor and gauge, though that also was not working previous to the flip. I also need a rearming kit for my auto-inflating PFD that did not inflate. :yike: Be sure to check those as they can go "bad".
Hope to have it up and running by May for the lingcod/shrimp openers. One positive note is that the new engines seem to be about 30% more fuel efficient than my old one was.
A note to those of you with boat insurance, insure the hull for double what you payed for it if it was used when purchased and you can afford it. Also, it seems that a lot of companies will only insure the engine to blue book value after it is five years old, so transfer excess coverage to your hull. And, remember, the "hull" includes all of your electronics, be sure they are in there at replacement costs.

What type of motor is it? Are you going to fix it your self? Do you know anyone who is an inspiring mechanic that wants a good learning experience?
It's a 2005 honda BF90, carburated engine. I don't know any aspiring mechanics. I figure i might learn something while working on it. And, just maybe, have a decent engine at the end to sell or put on a boat for the boy to use when he gets to high school.

The weather was a little nicer today. While Everett area got snowed on, we were sunny and calm. The boat is, now at least, sunny side up and at the repair shop for engine work.
Just curious, was the boat moved...? The photos look like entirely different areas. When it was flipped it was near a wooden dock, When they rolled it back over it was in a small enclosed looking metal docking area?

Yes, when the wind died a bit we pulled it around into the dinghy area so it would be sheltered a little and in a location easier to work around.

Ahh nice. It looked like it woulda been a pain to flip where it originally did in the first place anyhow!The weather was a little nicer today. While Everett area got snowed on, we were sunny and calm. The boat is, now at least, sunny side up and at the repair shop for engine work.

What's the latest. Get her fixed up? and the motor?
What about the Lowrance GPS?

Just ran across this thread.

Back on (top of) the water. Bought a new engine last fall with the insurance $$. The insurance company let me keep the old one, I was hoping to try to get it fixed up by now as the marina got it running but said it had a "bad" cylinder so who knows.
As far as the Lowrance... still dead. Bought a new one since I had all of the NMEA network stuff already. However, the Humminbird that took a soak as well is still going strong. I do have to smack it on the side once in a while to get one of the buttons to work though.nn :rolleyes:
I also built a hardtop for it, I'll post pics tomorrow of that.
