Well thats something you dont see everyday (unless you are Capt Pete) I guess there's more foam in a V-20 than I thought, looked like it was ready to go to the bottom at any second! Glad you got it out of harms way. What do you think your plans are with it? BTW your first post said your dad just gave the boat to you. Is he pissed?

Unsure, Planning to repair, but cost will factor in
The hole punched by first impact, portside bow at waterline (well original waterline) brought in so much negative bouyancy, It may have sunk nose first on the return, I wish I had used the Bow Eye, the one I trailor with but I will HOPE I never have to reconsider doing that again.

I feel really bad about your misfortune but as others have said as long as everybody is unhurt.
From your original description I didn't realize that everything went under water. That stinks. I hope you go ahead and repair it and get her back on the water.

Bow eye would not have done any better for the towing, dmhallene. Just in case you ever have to do a similar tow again, re-read Destroyer's description of how to rig it. Basically a giant loop which goes through the bow chocks on one side, around the stern (and through the transom eyes/hooks if you have them) then back up through the other bow chock and through the loop of a bowline tied just forward of where the line goes through the first bow chock. Instead of all the stress on the chocks (or just the single bow eye), stress is equalized around the entire boat, with the greatest amount of stress on the stern.

I agree with you both. SAFETY first, although you would not believe it by my taking people out on ocean at night without GPS. NEVER again be so stupid. HOWEVER; for running in 7 foot seas, with following wind, that boat sailed WELL.

Just consider it a lesson earned, forget about it, get that boat fixed, and get back out there much wiser (and a bit lighter in the wallet). One question remains unanswered, however: Does your Dad know about it yet?
