A Patchogue man was crushed and killed by his 24-foot boat Saturday afternoon while trying to store it for the winter, Suffolk police said.
Edward Freitas, 62, was at his summer residence, a private community in Oakdale, when the Fiberglas boat shifted off blocks supporting the vessel and its trailer, police said.
A friend found Freitas at about 12:22 p.m., police said.
Freitas, a recently retired banker who lived in Patchogue in the winter months, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said

I just see it was posted in the boating safety section of this forum.
I know I dont browse all sections of the forums.
I wonder how long that poor guy was under there and if he could have been saved if he was at least not by himself?

It doesn`t pay to try to save money painting your bottom or what ever,pay a shop who has the experience doing this.
