Fishing out of grand isle sunday, heard a helicopter call the coast gurad to report a capsized boat. he gave coordinates and based on that i know its on the west side of the river. reported about a 25 ft fiberglass boat wiht no one seen around it. Anybody know anything else?

Probably the one that capsized off the west coast of Florida. It was around the deep rigs off Alabama for awhile headed that way. I think it was a cat hull.

Last I heard was that a crew boat had towed it to within a few miles of coastal LA, and tied it off to one of the rigs.

I was fishing out of Mobile on Friday July 6 and heard a pon pon on a cat with a teal stripe. So Im sure it was the same boat...

Yep, that's where it is now up on a rack, motors have been removed. Saw it last weekend when I was down that way.

So not the same boat if it is at PSJ.

I think it is. I was told someone went out, hooked up and towed it back to PSJ. What are the odds there were two capsized and abandoned cats with twin Suzuki's floating around out in the Gulf during that period? I know the Owner of the Marina fairly well and might be able to get some more details on the boat that was towed there.
