    Great way to end a fishing trip- SUNK BOAT -pics

    I know this is the wrong website but This is my first rescue mission lol. What happens is engine fails right near the dam then they just happen to start generating at that time, gets jammed up against a tree, water starts comming over the edge eventually sinking the boat in a matter of seconds. Then as we are towing it, well pictures say it all. Luckily no one was hurt but as we were tieing ropes to the boat, we had sent someone in the water cause we couldnt reach it, boat comes loose then decides to turn over almost hitting the owner of the boat. but everyone is safe even though we had a couple of scares during the move of 500 yards to the nearest drivable enbankment.





    IN this picture, we tied the ropes up to a truck then the truck pulled it up but before we got it all the way up got 4-5 people to turn it back over which was also interesting.
    Ok notice how the bar to protect the windsheild is bent LOWER than the windsheild and yet the windsheild doesnt have even a scuff on it.

    I was cold in this picture so borrowed girl friends Hoodie... (water=61 degrees)

    REST OF THE STORY:

    Anyways before I knew it happened I get my boat in the water to go wakeboarding then I get a call from him saying his boat is sinking, so I figured ill just go pick him up get his boat stuck from under the tree real quick. Well I go to the wrong end of the lake to the Calm part (wrong dam)... Then I look down and my gas gauge was below the E. So I go to the park which was closed so I couldnt get gas. Luckily I had enough to get back to the lift. So Then I borrowed neighbors JetSki (300hp supercharged, 83mph all the way there ) figure out theres nothing I can do with it. Get back home neighbor gets his brand new shiney pontoon boat out since my boat had bad batteries (needed something with an outboard engine to go in shallow water). The boat put a few nice dings in the pontoons then the trees got green nasty water everywhere. but we got the boat clean (skipping alot). Anyways, He drops me back off at the lift so I can grab my boat and put it on the trailer for the winter. Well I get half way back to the ramp (idleing there because of no gas) and I look down at the temp gauge and it says 225 degrees. so I shut it off look at everything (not to mention we are in the dark and no one else is out except 2 boats with 2 dead empty tanks), and it cools down so i go to start it... guess what happens next? Nothing lol. Gauges didnt even Dim from trying to start it. So im guessing i have a loose wire somewhere. so I get towed and thats about all the bad stuff that happened today except it took hardees 20 minutes to make our food . lol
    Sorry for long story but it will keep u all busy
    Happy boating.

            Unfortunate Event

            So where were you on the local rivers around here. That does not look familiar. Below Watts Bar Damn Certainly not Norris as that water is super frigid. Chicamauga down Chattanooga way perhaps? Or Melton hill dam? Lake Loudon?

                    My Confusion

                    It is me that is confused. I say on your message for your location as "Kingsport" and for some reason my brain thought "Kingston"

                    Close, but no cigar.
