I know the owner of that boat.

He lives in Florida for the most part, and his family owns some of the boats you can rent on the water front.

He has 2 big German shepherds on there most the time hopefully they're all in Florida.

Rumor on the local boating Facebook page is the owner had a heart attack or some other issue that prevented him from pulling the boat. Unfortunately it seems to happen to a few boats a year down there. Usually someone trying to avoid paying for a slip at a marina ties to the wall, then something breaks and they can’t get it towed. Eventually the battery can’t keep up with the bilge pump and it sinks. The city removes it and tries and fails to collect removal fees from the owner. Eventually the city will put a stop to people docking there.

It’s actually January 1, 1982, which is hilarious because when the law was passed, that probably meant you had to be over 12 to not need a license. There’s not shifting date provision though, so now it’s 40 and goes up every year. It doesn’t really matter though, I’ve taken the class to get my license. It’s online and a complete joke.
