Ray-
I'm not sure about AZ, but I know in CA if your boat sinks in a body of freshwater used for drinking, you must retrieve it, and if the state EPA (or whoever) feels that you polluted the water, get ready to pay some hefty freaking fines.  It's not bad enough you lost the boat, but now you have to spend money to salvage something that is worthless. I'd be on the horn with the Marina, Fish & Game, everyone possible first thing Monday, trust me you don't want them to salvage it for you and bill you.

Know anybody whoes got a trialer they aint usein?

Ummm Me? Your's if you need it. In GREAT shape, short a loose bunk Jeremy rigged and lighting not hooked up.

Yeah, That's what I'm talking about Skip! I dunno what I'm in for on the ramifications of this ordeal. Gawd what a year! Don't get me started!

We all know the Gov't liikes to blind side you, and I' m trying to avoid all that. Advice like this is priceless. Didn't think about the EPA.

Here we go! This could be interesting guys!

Ray

I know words don't really help but I'll say it anyway. Sorry it had to go that way Ray. Sucks man. It is good to see that you take it in stride and don't let it get you down. It will come back to you in kind that you took it this way. You know the saying...... "in five years, will this still matter?"....... Okay well, it will but, i'm just sayin. Sending positive thoughts your way.


Jimmy

Life is lessons learned, nothing more, nothing less. Great lesson here,  .

It'll be fine, like you said, will it matter in 5 years? no! Will it matter next week? no!

Musta been a famous event, it got posted over at PB by someone who saw it (I added to it) and I was told today it was in the Arizona Republic paper over the weekend. (If anyone has the article, I'd like to see it)

Talked to the Deputy Sherrif that wrote the report on the incident, and asked him if I HAD to retreive it and could they (SRP) fine me for hazmat issues involved. He laughed and said no to both questions. I feel a little releived there. My bud from work is planning a dive on the site Friday to see if we can retreive it ourselves. I guess he and his friends have all the equipment they need to do it. If that's the case, GREAT, lotsa parts!

Ray

Maybe you could use some of the salvaged parts on the yellow submarine....














maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea     

WOW    I guess I am kinda late to the party here but there is nothing to say to make it any better.  Really glad that no one got hurt,and that the state won't be adding $$$ fines to further mess with you.  Good luck with the retrieval, it sounds like you have some real good and helpful friends and that is priceless.  Ray you are the only guy I know that actually needs to keep spare boats around, DAMN.

Let's hope Father's Day goes off trouble free for everyone !!!

Here's the link to the thread from when I bought it. Nearly all the pics I have of it are posted there I beleive. Only had it a couple of months though, lol. Kinda like a one night stand that went VERY bad, cept I took a real liking to the thing. We'll get another cruiser!

LOL Keith! Most of the parts I need for the Sub are already here. Just need to get off my ass and start on the thing. Would be nice to use that combo in the Hallet B-rad sent down here, though!

Ray,

i can't tell you how sorry we are about you'r loss. the woman and i are still dumbfounded, anytime ANYONE loses a boat it's not only devastating to them but also to the people around them .When i seen that pic, i didn't know who's boat it was but i had a feeling it belonged to someone here and it took our breath away.. Good luck with the recovery/salvage and stay strong my brotha..

  Thats good news re the hazmat (SRP) fines.... Im sure thats a load of your chest ......

See you and the Moo on the water soon.....

2sav

Thanks Steve, and Glasscutter! Couldn't have built the Moo without you guys and I know I'll be a PITA on these other two just the same. I've been having second thoughts that instead of buying another cruiser, why not convert the Yellow Sub to open bow? You have any more pics of the Blue Saguaro your FIL had you working on then sold 2Sav?

Be a PITA, but fun all the same!

Ray

Edit: Maybe will still open the bow on the Saguaro, but been in contact off and on with this guy in Flag with a 70 Nordic 21 footer, BBC and brand new pump. Awaiting pictures!

Ray, i will try to find some pics of that boat , but im sure i deleted most of em when he sold it
Do not cut up that yellow boat for an open bow   NO NO NO !!!!!!!!

It's too small , and uncomfortable and i think it destroys the boat.......... (My opinion)

Build it the way it is, cause it will be a bitchen ride

Glad I could help.

Wait....boy oh boy, is that an oxymoron, double standard, or just plain idiotic think? LOL!
