What has hurt your BOAT the most?

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!

Here some duck hunting battle scars. I try to run it in close quarters. Attachment 117317

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.

Remind me to never ride in ya'lls boats!:help

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?
