Since some of you refuse to get on facebook. :-p and since some of you don't browse other sites I figured I would post this here.
3-15-2014 Marine assist gathering up the crew to go raise a 70' aluminum hulled houseboat. Still tied partially to the dock at the moment. Water in that slip is over 90' deep, Air temp is in the high 50's -60 today, water temp in the mid 40's.

Recovery team stated they could not tell exactly what was leaking without tearing up the floor, but ASSUMED based on what they could verify, (which was that there was a steel cap that had rusted off another drain line right above the water). It was assumed a similar thing may have happened below the water in the plumbing as well. So could have started leaking and then sitting lower in the water, then another hole gets exposed, then another....



This is a major difference in turn around time than the one we saw not long ago at Conley Bottom that sat tied to the dock for several days.
