For the record ---- we came in to VH a guy and kid were in the water they came over and helped us in. Wind was blowing like a MF. That is an offset of the bullshit that went on over the 4th. What happened to the surf boat? Did it hit bottom or did stringers let loose? Spitting who the F did that. OMG

Why didn't they just beach it?

As far as I know, all modern boats are supposed to be neutrally buoyant. In other words, that's about as sunk as one should be able to get nowadays.

Is that the easternmost ramp at Van Hook?

Because they are a V-drive and you really can't beach them unless it's a super steep bank. 3-4 ft is about as shallow as you can get to before contacting the bottom with the prop and fins depending on boat.

I'm not a van-hooker and wasn't there. No Idea if it's true, but I was told the guy didn't have his plug in and or was taking on water and the fishermen at the ramp told him they fish there and its not for surfing along with some other choice words and wouldn't let him cut in line and get his boat loaded. If what I heard about this situation has any truth to it, those fishermen are some real asshats, which I guess I already knew were out there. Karma's a bitch and I hope it bites them square in the ass if there is any truth to the story.

A few years ago a surf boat came out of the Rooster in Skunk Bay and sunk to the bottom, all were rescued but they said the boat was lost and when I was there a week later they said the boat had not been found ??
