Horrifying Photos of Inboard Boat Torture

The following collection of grizzly photos have each upset me, in their own individual ways. From the iced-out Tige to the beached Spy Optic Super Air Nautique, each photo represents someone encountering trouble while using one of their most prized physical possessions; their boat. I weep for each one, because what these photos represent is that accidents happen, boats can sink, boats can swamp, bilge pumps fail, s*** happens, and people make mistakes. Most of the photos depict simple misfortune or excusable errors in judgment; while a few represent unabashed incompetence. As a person who is looking for a damaged boat to build up as a project, some of these may fit the bill. What you see below is almost entirely comprised of "totaled" inboard ski and wake boats. Everyone renewed their insurance on time this year right?
