Last Saturday this big old beast went running through at about 25-30mph and wasn't so lucky.


all aboard were fine & they got the "Ride of Shame" (Tow) home.

I did this damage on another lake that I am familiar with, Swains Lake in Barrington. Just dumb luck! Prop was only slightly damaged and the boat ran OK. Gear case is fine. Skeg had been damaged/repaired prior to my ownership.
