Donations Help Watertown Man Buy Replacement Boat

The man who tipped off police that the Boston Marathon bombing suspect was hiding in his boat now has a new one thanks to online donors. 

David Henneberry told ABC News he recently bought a 24-foot "fixer-upper" to replace the bullet-riddled boat where police finally cornered Dzhokar Tsarnaev.   

Strangers from across the country sent in 50-thousand dollars in donations to help Henneberry buy a similar used boat.
