Give us the scoop, "W". How in the world could that happen? Some big ole boats go through that gate all the time. I don't even trim my motor when I go through. Guess I better start.

said he was going back thought the weirs and they had a huge tide coming in so when he gassed it to come though he hit the cement bottom of the gate I assume due to dragging so deep

then after he came through he took on water from the back end and not to help the winds were over 30mphs and they keep adding water over the back of the boat till it was full and could not go!!
