Exactly what i thot would happen if I revealed the location. That prop shaft is stainless, and we know how much they cost dont we Josh.

if i recall, the location was never revealed here.

its not exactly hidden and we weren't the only ones there yesterday either...and each time i saw this boat....there was signs there was people there.

you weren't the only person on earth who knew the where abouts of this boat.

Tell me again what part you were gonna save? Sometimes even FREE seems to much.

There may be a couple of things worth taking, but not really worth it! None of the bolts even look like bolts anymore!

I saw this on another site but never found anymore info on it.Just to let you know my wifes uncle lost three boats on mead threw the late 60's and 70's.One of the boats he lost was a blue Hondo just like this one.I will be in touch with him to see if this is one of his that sank.All three that sank were from bad weather storms.I will keep you guys posted on what he says.

its got a diehard in it..it should fire right up!

« **Reply #484 on:** June 06, 2010, 12:42:51 PM »

ya know i didnt even think to look to see if there was a date code on the battery...might help to figure out about when it went down. next time im out, ill scope it out.

« **Reply #485 on:** June 06, 2010, 12:45:09 PM »

it kinda makes sense if the boat went down during a storm, because it is fairly close to the marina, its in a cove you wouldnt really hang out in unless you are in a storm!

Thanks guys hopefully this is one of his boats.I have called him a couple of times today but he is out of town right now.When I talk to him I will gather as much info as possible.Thanks Tom

Mother in law just stopped bye the house and showed her pics to see if she could remember.She could not remember the color but she said either blue or yellow and that he had them all hot rodded out.Headers and big carb.She said that they used to camp and the wind came up and when they woke up the boat was long gone all three times.She did say that that if that was his boat it would of looked like that back in the day.She also said that it sank in the early 80's maybe 81 or 2.

here is some pics i took of it back in march when we went out to SCJB cove...

put my signature on it

« **Reply #489 on:** June 06, 2010, 08:13:13 PM »

based on the pictures....it looks like lake meads water level dropped 20' in just over 2 months $:-\$

did i get good video from yesterday? i was a little intoxicated....and i am sore from a little jumping incident!

« **Reply #491 on:** June 06, 2010, 08:32:44 PM »

Well looks like there will be another 20 pages or so on this boat.I talked with my wifes uncle and he said his Hondo was a Canary yellow.He did have a blue sleek craft mini day v-drive that went down in the middle of the lake.So I guess we will have to run the vins and find out the info on this boat.

This is probably the only boat you'll see Josh driving this summer.....

« **Reply #494 on:** June 07, 2010, 03:32:10 PM »

Now that the Nauti-lust is on dry ground and right side up what's it gona take to disassemble and float the hull over to a ramp? Can't be any harder for you to restore that the Rasberry Brad.
