SEA TOW Veteran Austin Boater Offline Free Towing For Members!!! Posts: 270 Central Texas Gender:	Ouch!! Mar 30^th, 2011 at 9:31pm Here is a pic of a 38' Cigarette we recovered on Lake Travis the other day. Hate to see such a pretty boat on the rocks. Though the boat came out like a champ, American made for sure!!!

Reply #2 - Mar 30^th, 2011 at 9:57pm I just saw that on Facebook, holy shit man, that's a scary thing to see. What happened to the boat to get in that situation? I imagine most people watch their Cigarette's closer than their kids.

Reply #7 - Apr 1^st, 2011 at 9:36pm the interesting part is that when I first saw the picture I thought someone had left their boat too long and the water just went out and it was beached. didn't think it was someone that ran up on the bank. good jod on the recovery.
