Just proves what I've said many times.... Some people just should not be allowed to own a boat.

Gotta ask, is this boat a total loss. I have zero knowledge of what the ramifications of this action is. I realize the ice will expand and put pressure on the hull. Also notice it is an I/O, so is that toast also. Is there any chance the ice will just melt and all is good, or is this the way it sits until spring.

But since the engine was obviously not drained, the chances of a cracked block are pretty good. The vinyl upholstery will probably be cracked, water will have found it's way into the foam, etc, etc. I mean, it's possible that she escaped without any damage, but highly unlikely. Such a waste.

I bet this boat was left/abandoned at the marina. The owner of the marina will have to go through the proper channels to get a clear title to junk it or sell it.

If it has a heat exchanger and it wasn’t drained and it froze, there’s around $500+ if they know where to buy it or around $1000 from Mercury. I unfortunately had that experience -I didn’t leave the boat in the water but it froze without being drained. Could have bought some nice other stuff with that money.

The boat is in New Bedford at Whaling City Marina. The owner of the marina tried to get the boat owner to pull it out but he paid up front for winter dockage. Pretty sure it was never winterized. Now I need to go back into this forum and look at what needs to be done to add a bracket to this boat.............
 Too many projects and not enough time or $$$$$$$
