Sounds like Mick Mannix. Got the big blue one usually parked behind the lodge there. Wonder what happened. Wonder if it copped a wave over the back while launching or retrieving.

Sure it actually sunk? Those banana boats sit low in the water you know.

Maybe just looked like it was sunk.

That they do dodgy man...

I hope it didn't as it was/is a sweet looking rig....

Might be an idea to listen to ABC radio (tales from the tinny) on saturday asthey may just have an update on it

Hi Guys I was at the Lodge for the last three days it was the big Blue boat from out the back. The tractor guy said they managed to get it back out before it did any damage. The scuppers or something must have been open and the bilge was not working.

Weather was cr.p and the day it happened big storms hit the place for the whole morning.

Will try and post a report on the fishing for the last three days later today.

Hopefully not to much damage was done
sometimes that ramp can be a killer

the Gov should look at fixing it maybe

cheers
