I’m guessing his excuse is “lineman apprentice”ummm...explanation @Lawman25 ?
That doesn’t bode well….
19 footer with 8 people!!!A 19’ SeaRay with 8 people on board took on water and capsized on Lake Winnebago yesterday - luckily everyone was OK.
Calumet and Winnebago County authorities team up for water rescue after boat takes on water
At about 4 p.m., authorities responded to the Brothertown Boat Launch for a boat with eight passengers that was taking on water a few miles away from shore.www.wbay.com
Brothertown is almost due east of the most popular cove on Lake Winnebago and we were there for about six hours. The cove is sheltered from winds out of the west and south but the ride to/from the cove was rough.
Yup, my thoughts exactly. Combine that length with a low freeboard and you’re asking for trouble in those kinds of conditions.19 footer with 8 people!!!
Sssssplain please
The boat owner works for the USPS. He thought boats are like the Priority mailers, if it fits, it ships!19 footer with 8 people!!!
The boat that sunk, from his post above. An on-water barge sent to pull it out to avoid environmental fines or tickets. Maybe the insurance company contracted to complete the claim.Sssssplain please

F-that! I have fished 3 coral snakes out of my pool in the past, and a 6ft rat snake was in my garage a couple years back. A BMF rattle snake was around the corner from my house a few months back hanging out on the sidewalk. Didn’t realize snakes were so common in suburbia. What’s weird, I live in a development called Fishhawk Ranch, but have yet to see one..Walked past this odd looking 4ft stick.
