B31 in the background on news

Post by Bertramp »

This morning while watching the news (CBS), a reporter was discussing the oil spill and was standing in a marina in Venice LA.. There was a B31 in the background. It was either a sportfish or a FBC. Hull appeared to be white, there was a canvas wrap over the front windshield, boat had outriggers, and a bimini type cover over the cockpit. It was docked next to what looked like a workboat behind it, possibly a small pushboat. Anyone know this boat ?

Pretty sure that was Venice Marina and the B31 is Dr. ("call me doctor") Jordan's "Centurion". Katrina moved it into the woods a mile or so and it took a crane barge and a couple of helos to find and extract her. Almost zero damage; the Cat 3116s fired right up and she ran on her own bottom to New Orleans where she sat on the hill next to AJ in the Seabrook Marine yard while I was waiting on repairs.
