I have destroyed several lower units, trolling motor shafts, trolling motor brackets, tried to rip the transom off, about had an electrical fire one day...
But the worst one yet..
I took my wife duck hunting on grassy one morning, we were the first to launch, first to the big water so I was able to set up on which ever hole I wanted! Nothing could be better !
Then I realized..... There was not a single shotgun in the boat!
So off we went like a bat out of hell back to the truck. Thought I could squeeze between these 2 cypress trees at 30 mph... WRONG!
Bowed the sides in like an hour glass!
Rivets shooting out like a machine gun "POP POP POP POP POP"
Spend an hour in the freezing water trying to get out!

All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

That sounds like some of my duck huntin trips. I hit a log in the Halowell ditch some years ago and the motor popped up and stuck boat did a 180 and hit the bank and i can still hear that 25 running wide open as i went out backwards in the water right beside it. I knew things were bad when it went silent and sunk.
I tore up a lower unit and my trolling motor trying to find a path to Caney creek from the main lake on Conway.
I found out water can move the boulders on the upper White. It cost me a prop and skag.

In 2005 I had a 185 Tracker jet and I hit a boulder on the White River. Damaged the hull and caused a small leak, could have been worst.
I can only assume JigPole that you did not get any ducks. Sorry for your damaged

The rain. I left my boat at buddies pond with the intent of fishing the next day, it was a week when i finally got back and with some good rains I found nothing but about a foot of the bow sticking out of the water.
Joe, did you get any ducks?
Oh, well that was a plus, at least!!! Hope you replaced it with an Android!![]()
