That's his only talent and now you are using it to mock other posters? Damn. You should be careful he might try and press on that soft spot on your forehead. Wear your protective head gear just in case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's paid for itself already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be a slim chance the guy that balanced the prop fukked up. Costs nothing, but a bit of time to be sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you atleast got out on friends boats. Did not. Hitting debris in the river is pretty common. I have had my share . My worst was a white tarp at midnight after the fireworks. I was just floating and when the finale started I took off. Nothing like ripping under that . First one to the boat launch a few miles upriver before the drunks. My boat was brand new, it shut me right off. I trimmed up and it was a white ball of tarp. Now I’m floating in the channel, in the water, trying to cut it off with my Kershaw filet knife. When I got to the prop it was melted like a milk jug. No teeth on filet knife, I did what I had to . And then get to the boat launch that has 20 drunks waiting. Good times , especially the scratches on my outdrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepybrew Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Just now, SkisNH said: There are drunks on the lake...but we're all going 5 mph. the river has no speed limit. it goes for miles and miles. i have done albany ny as far south as the verazzano bridge. that's about a 100 miles of river one way. most of my time is on the north part. boats of all sizes from dingy to huge barge. mine is 20 feet but does well out there. it's a tidal river that is pretty strong, so wind one way and tide the other makes for some wicked rollers. they can be tough , but just like sleds you sometimes have to hammer the tops. i have apologized to passengers many times for what i had to do in those conditions. just when you think 55 is cranking someone blows by at 80 . some fast boats out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of go fast boats and go fast boat accidents....I'm very happy to be on my 700 acre lake. The wake boats and riders typically go out in the morning.
