Definitely have not seen that boat around ... lots of rocks in the river, gotta be very careful and use your GPS, although wouldn't expect that at the river's mouth ... I'll have to get the story on it later this morning ... that's gonna put a damper on somebody's boating season!

the boat struck a bouy coming back from montauk. It is not the same boat that is for sale. That is a friend of mines boat. His is a 35' with 500efi's. Similar paint job. But don't they all.

That buoy was already slightly damaged from an incident with a ferry a few years ago but not quite that bad. Was it due to darkness or inattention? Coming soon to a salvage auction near you ! Feel bad for the owner .

SeaTow reports it as a 38,

In addition to the damage to the bow, he also dislodged his port outdrive. He was able to beach the boat, and we recovered it this morning.

A few years back the same exact thing happened right In front of my house in the shipping channel on the st Lawrence, he hit a channel bouy exactly like that one in the dark. The boat was a 280 power quest. Almost the same damage. Huge hole in the front and a drive ripped off. They were able to nurse it down river about another 2 miles and get it out of the water before it sunk.
