Hey gang, I've officailly made the list. The family and I went out on Sunday (5th time out since we got the boat). We've been fishing for a while with very little success so I decide to start the big motor and drive down the River a mile or so. We were putting along and I decide to open her up little. I trim up a little and she won't plane, I trim a little more and the boat started porpasing like crazy. I started to trim back down and water came spraying over the bow and we were getting soaked. I stopped the boat immediately and thought "what the heck is going on?". At the same time I saw it, the trolling motor was hanging off the bow. I instantly thought of all of you guys and just grinned ear to ear...
I pulled the motor up and you know what I saw..... yup, the prop, pin and nut were all gone.
I knew if I were ever to make the list, that was the accident I would have. I've almost done it twice before.
I have another funny story about Devyn taking a "swim" at the launch but I'll save that for another time.
Have fun,
Marke
