Hope you have been reading all the recent threads about how to remove water spots from you gel coat...

That pic is just wrong.

That's actually a lake in Texas not salt water. There were a ton of boats totalled in that storm. Guess it came out of nowhere with 70-80 mph winds. I was looking for the thread on it a couple days ago, from what I heard the X-2 wasn't totalled though. Lesson learned......never trust the weatherman in Texas. That sucks it's an '05 too.

the whole story and pictures on are on a regional wakeboarding site; couple of other high dollar boats too; they were anchored on a beach with the back end of the boat away from shore. The storm came in fast and waves came over the stern. If the guy could have turned the bow into the waves he would have been OK.

I'm sure the owner, and anyone else who went through that storm would love to know his swamped boat pic was being used as joke.

Then again, I kinda doubt it?

I think there was at least one death. It's not that funny.

Rich, I read the owner's side of the story on another discussion board, and he tried to drive the boat around to the downwind side of the island. He couldn't turn the corner without rollers coming over the sides so he headed back to the beach he was at to weather the storm and try and salvage his boat. I think the rollers were a little too big to survive no matter how the boat was anchored. Pictures I saw had some much larger boats swamped. I thought they salvaged the X-2 and actually got the engine cleaned out and running.

70-80 mph wind, huh? there would be a hell of a lot more wrong with that boat if the wind was blowing anywhere NEAR that.

I talked to a longtime fishing guide out at Rattlesnake island that day. While I don't question that T-Bend can get violent, there was more than enough time if people had been paying attention to the sky.
