Well...you asked for it. The rest of the story is, we had the boat up for sale, but in February, it sank. There were high winds on Valentines Day, which caused a loss of power, which resulted in our heaters to cut off. Sea strainers froze, allowing seawater to rush into the boat. (By the way, we are in The Villages while all of this is happening). This all happens in the early morning hours. The bilge pumps probably kept up with pumping the water out until the batteries were depleted. My buddy calls me in the morning and tells my "your boat is down." Insurance didn't want to cover. After months of wrangling, we finally did get them to cover our entire loss. That was the interesting story.
