I still wonder what I hit in the channel in 60 feet of water on Barkley years ago. I was running an aluminum 4 blade prop and it took 2 blades off like nothing. This was in normal water level right after a high water event. To top it off I got the beginnings of a butt-chewing when I limped the boat to a private dock so I could change out props (I NEVER run the big lakes without a spare prop for outboard and trolling motor). I was laying on a dock with the outboard trimmed all the way up when the lady of the house commenced eating on me for being on her dock. She calmed down when I told her what I was doing.
