Interesting....... Kutv is reporting that they found two more drowning victims from a 1995 shipwreck (the one found yesterday is believed to be from the same accident) where three Utah County men drowned. It also says that they found the boat that the 3 men were in at the time of the 1995 accident.
quote from KUTV Captain John Rogers of the Wasatch County Sheriff's Office told 2News it's believed the remains belong to a small group men whose boat sank on the reservoir in September of 1995. Sonar equipment also found the victims' boat on Thursday, which was confirmed as the boat that sank more than ten years ago.
I wonder if ABC got their facts wrong thinking they found the Rowndys boat instead of the boat from the 1995 accident??????
I hope they did find the Roundys boat. It would be a step in the right direction!
Just a general question..... Arn't most of those smaller alluminum boat's seats filled with foam so they float when they fill up???
Piscis, do you happen to know (not from experience of course) if your boat is supposed to float if filled with water. This whole episode has got me wondering if my 19 foot fiberglass I/O boat would float or sink if capsized and filled with water? I have often time heard that if a boat tips over and fills with water that it should float and it would be safer to stay with the floating boat then swim for shore if it was too far.....
