Senter Cove Guy and I dove this a few days ago in central Paugus Bay. I have edited out some sections.
About 87 feet deep, water 41 degrees, viz about 6 feet +-; This boat I found in 2013 and is estimated at 28 feet long. Tried to film it a while back but GoPro SD card failed to read.
Odd for Winnipesaukee in light of what I have found in the past. Boat shows rusting steel railing all the way around gunwhale with rust spots on the hull too. It may be glass or aluminum I just can't tell but the hull is certainly intact. No signs of Bow numbers or name.
There is a large black hose about 3" in diameter sort of winding around the helm-clearly to pump something in or out of the boat, don't know what.
Large round tank on stern under gunwhale-may be for fuel or possibly sewage. My take is that this is a commercial vessel. Note the cleat in the center of the stern, for towing I guess.
Big straight 6 engine. Odd helm seat and wheel, placed on left not right side. I checked steering wheel for name or logo-nothing.
May be hard to find due to depth and visibility. It might be seen on 2D sonar/Fishfinder if you mark it as best you can with a flag and go past the flag watching the Fishfinder; As with all things that I post dive it at your own risk:
Lat: 43 34.995N
Lon: 71 27.732W
I would be interested in opinions about what exactly this boat was used for.
Thanks.
