The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Unconstitutional Slop

It’s probably a total loss and the insurance company will auction it off if they take ownership and don’t deny the claim for some reason. Whoever buys it can part it out or try to make it seaworthy again.

Edit: chainsaw from Irons post sounds familiar. I stand by my total loss statement.

Not to be a dick but them not bailing and thinking by staying in the boat until it’s completely under is going to help any is kind of funny.

That’s actually standard advice. The not abandoning part.

Waking other boats is pretty much the douchiest thing you can do. Good Job Trump!

Maybe there was a giant bag of quaaludes to save or something.

Not much has happened in the last 3 weeks, but net approval is up ~4 points.

Link?

I found this quickly as that seems weird.

Swim away from the boat, so as to avoid the propeller, and although television shows like Mythbusters busted the whole ship pulling you under myth, it has been reported to take place from actual survivors.

Tall women make tall sons, he looks like a trump to me

I knew it. They should have hopped in their helicopter and accepted the boat as a loss*

That’s for a ship, not a boat, which is too small to generate suction. You stay with the boat because a sinking boat is safer than in the water (boats don’t carry liferafts) and it’s easier for rescuers to find you.

That’s a boat testing training site, got a link like I asked? I’m interested. I’ve been boating in MN since i was like 4 years old.

I listened to the real Jordan Belfort speak recently and he had nothing but bad things to say about that yacht. He hated it and was happy to see it sink.

Here’s another link from a Coast Guard dude about a boat you know isn’t saveable. Nothing about staying on the sinking boat.

The impact with the unseen object has pushed the rudder through the hullThe gaping wound can’t be staunched. If you haven’t already, put on that life jacket. You’re about to enter the water with whatever you can grab in the cockpit on your way off the transom. “Once you’re in the water, the first thing you do is inventory,” says Hathaway. “Collect your people. Gather together everyone and everything you can reach. Put on your life jackets, if you haven’t already.” At this point, your job is to do everything possible to make it easier for the Coast Guard to find you, regardless of whether they have a position to start with. The techniques can be broken down into visual, audible, and electronic.

Lol that’s awesome. Was this online? Prob too much to hope for that you went to a live sales conference so he could teach you how to sell a pen.

It wasn’t live. I think I was playing a poker tournament and had youtube going in the background and it auto played.

I do wonder how many recreational boaters have insurance. I am not aware of insurance being required but I could be wrong.

If not required the uninsured rate would certainly be extremely high.

Uninsured=free market magic baby
