Glad know one was hurt out of all 19 people rescued Saturday. A video near Put in Bay shows a 25' FV going down with 7 on board. Scary video for sure, its amazing how fast she went down once she started.

Hmm, sounds like he hit bottom and ignored a high water alarm?

You really have to f up to capsize your boat. Esp a 25' one.

That boat does not look like it capsized it looks like it got swamped from the stern and sank.

The CG keeps calling them capsized. I also thought capsized indicated rolled over.
