I think that's a Grady White. They have positive flotation and can't sink in the usual sense. Looks like it was pulled over on an anchor line or something. Regardless, major fail.
Actually that is how most boats that are securely tied to docks sink, believe me, I know from many, many, many experiences growing up on the river with low water line ski boats. If I left the boat tied to the dock during the slightest rain, inevitably I am greeted by this scene upon return. Then you have to pull it out; hook the flushing system up to it and hope you can save the engine, I had a little Mercury that was tough as hell, I drowned it many times and it kept on going. lol
I'm not following how a rising tide doesn't lift your boat.
Interesting. I guess the water runs to one side and it just gets worse and worse. Does the hull keep an air pocket inside? Otherwise the whole thing would sink.
Grady Whites have that distinctive bow shape, but they're not the only ones.
I've seen boats capsized or on their sides like that in waterways around NC and I've wondered how would one go about getting a craft that size "righted". Do they just drag it to a shore or a launch site with a tug boat, or are there crane-type vessels that lift it out? I guess it could be pumped out. I've just never seen it done. I know a few people who have boats; I guess I just never asked about that.
