SeaPro sinks - USCG to the rescue!
« on: July 13, 2016, 06:05:02 PM »
27 foot SeaPro cracks down the keel and sinks.   :shocked:  Good thing they had an EPIRB and radio.  And KEEP YOUR PFD ON!  Waving it won't keep you from drowning.   :oops:  These guys are very lucky.  Check out the crack in the hull in the video. 

I don't think I want a SeaPro - maybe we should start calling them SeaPOS    :titantic1:

i never go outside of the sight of land without some kind of tracker.

i have a tracker and PLB in the flatback, the fountain will be getting a tracker, PLB, and EPIRB.... we have 2 EPIRBS on the contender 36 i run. when 40-80 miles out, we want to make sure we have redundancy. the boat also has 2 vhf's. when things go south, they can go south quick...

A floating handheld vhf is a good idea too
