    I'm pretty sure that was a Dorsett Catalina, Dorsett started in Santa Barbara California as a Plastics Company, they also had a plant in Bremen Indiana and Cambridge Maryland, the only reason I know that is because they make a sought after boat called a Dorsett Sea Hawk that looks like a Cadillac from the back. They actually made some of the best looking boats back then, that are pretty rare these day's.

    Currently rebuilding a 67 dorsett, with a 70hp evenrude (two-stroke). Runs like a giant jet ski, fun boat for weekend camping and fishing (yes I sleep on the boat)

    Always, always, tie up your boat. Should another boat go by leaving a wake, your boat could be washed away and you'd be in a hurting situation.

    Always tie off your boat. You can never be too careful when you are alone. I enjoy watching your videos and I miss the Vegas desert. Don’t want to see you get stranded anyplace. I had 2 blowouts once in the early 1990s north of Vegas and it was an all day ordeal with about a 7 mile hike in 110 degree heat. Always carried 2 spares after that 👍😎

    The red shut off cable is a good idea. I read a story about a guy from NY rented a nice boat at Lake Tahoe. He went out to the middle. Set up his iPhone on a tripod and recorded himself jumping in for a swim. He didn’t have the boat totally out of gear. It was slowly moving away. The look on his face said it all. He drowned and the boat was found on shore days later. It was the deepest freshwater human remains recovery in history.

    Love what you do. Henderson is my hometown. I was wondering if the big "B" is still on the mountain behind Basic High School? Up by that "B", are caves, we used to ditch school in. Lol. There was also, a giant Peace Sign, on Sunrise Mountain. My Dad and his friends used to paint the Peace Sign every year and the graduating class used to paint the big B. I don't live there anymore, but, some of my fondest memories are from there. Love the desert. Thank You for taking us with you 😊.

    Paul from @FabRats had an episode today about a trip out there in Sept. finding a boat that he is going to retrieve and repair. I can't wait to see how it goes. Have you checked them out? His cousin Merlin also dropped an episode where he dropped a clip at the end and mentioned what they were doing. @Merlin's Old School Garage is from Lake Havasu. If I weren't 29 hours away, I would love to be out there exploring too. I've just started following you so I have a lot to catch up on.

    I am surprised that the lake authorities have not removed debris or possible pollutants from the area, given this time whilst the lake is low. Pollutants will be higher when the lake refills due to the sun on the many fiberglass hulls left behind. Considering the lake is drinking water and fiberglass can cause symptoms like asbestosis. If anyone gets an illness later, sue the authorities. Just a heads up.
