We pulled it today and there is definitely water in the gas as it skipped and sputtered all the way in. The gas cap was submerged so I expected that. Gel coat coat damage along the port side chine and well as scratches on port side hull. It could have been a lot worse but thankfully I have great neighbors who reacted immediately and helped to minimize damage. Unfortunately looks like its going to be an insurance claim….

It’s now in the hands of Winnisquam Marine who will get everything taken care of over the winter.
