Washoe County Sheriff’s Office lost another boat at Lake Tahoe.

The search and rescue vessel that sank at Incline Village overnight is the second boat to have done so. The other sank in May.

“The command staff is talking over what the options and availability are for the lake at this point,” Bob Harmon, spokesman for the department, told Lake Tahoe News.

Both boats went down while moored off the Hyatt. Normally the search and rescue boat is trailered, but the trailer was in Reno for repairs so the boat was tied up to the buoy July 23. Now the boat is in Reno to determine if it is salvageable.

Douglas County lost a boat this season, too.

    Try Metal Craft boats from Kingston/Wolfe Island, Ontario, Canada. They build fire and rescue boats that are used all over the world.
