Glad you're OK budro. I know where you can get a new boat. :)
Bill I'm gonna try to get torch in mine to see how it rides this weekend... May have another person come over to the dark side!
Just saw this Torch. Like everybody else said, I'm glad you weren't hurt. It still sucks though.
Talked to insurance guy today and sending adjuster. I told him I wanted manufacturer to look for structural damage he told me no need to drive over if total loss. We will see
Glad you are ok !! Coulda been a lot worse!
Torch, check with insurance guy. They should pay to have lower unit inspected also. Unless they are going to scratch the whole rig.
Heck, Torch has been on the Dark Side his whole danged life. HeheheQuote:

Was at Island 40 Chute one time and the river was just starting to pull out so I went out the chute to the mouth of the river and after seeing all the debris floating, I stopped. A few minutes later a tree trunk about 2 ft. thick came flying up out of the water like it had been launched by a sub missile tube.About as quick as it appeared it disappeared!:yikesDid the tighten up!That Sippi River is a dangerous old dude!
Big muddy gives few second chances.said by a guy that has been on it many times in a 1436 with an 18 Nissan and more than once in a 1432 with a 3 horse evinrude.
The guy that hit the Big River in those two boats IS crazy!!!!! :)Quote:

You are right we have a backup for everything. Anything can become deadly out thereQuote:

I've seen logs that looked bigger than the boat come 3-4 feeet out of the water and just as fast disappear to somewhere below the surface. Used to, I rarely wore a life jacket, nowadays, I wear one religiously.Quote:
