Rescue Mission A Success

Went to Sardis to break in the demo today, and one if our Sippi C.C members had a minor accident. Hit a 4" deep ledge at 40 mph, and left him stuck in the mud. I got him out with the help of 360' of rope we borrowed from the Corp. Hard to yank a boat out when you're only floatin in a foot and a half of water. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/31/avybetep.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/31/8u2y5any.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/12/31/agavata8.jpg
He had been stranded there for 61/2 hours before we got to him.

The Blue Thunder did her job. Lost a little paint on the Skeg, but paint is cheap compared to leaving a buddy stranded!!!!

BTW, this boat IS a Rocket!!!!!! Put 21/2 hrs on her, and had room to go when I set her down at 65mph!!!!! Can't wait to get the jack plate adjusted right!!!! Trimmed up, she'll shoot a rooster tail about as high as the engine cowling, but was only turning 5700 RPM's. When I raise the jack plate a little, she will hit about 6200. Figure that at 1.5 to 2mph for every 100 RPM's on the top end. Purdy swooft in a tin boat!!!!

WTG!!! crappie fisherman helping crappie fisherman....thats what its all about. Blue Thunder is rolling across the Arkansas forum. Great Job I love that name.

congrats on the rescue and sounds like the new boat is gonna be a good one.

Sweet Bill. 6-1/2 hrs a long time when you stuck in da muck. Kudos! 65 mph!...way too fast fo me.

Bet Stan's yankee boat plowed in pretty deep. Bet he was proud to see y'all show up.

That sweet Bill Jumping Jacks Icon 65 is hopping in the water. It a good thing you came be or Sippi would been there all night

I'm glad I was not in the boat with Yikess when he hit the ledge.

I know to well that feeling!!

Stan's smile says it all. He was GLAD to see us. Lol

BTW, all that white in the back ground behind Stan's boat are pelicans, and they're wading, not swimming!!! Stan was feeding em before we got there. He thought he might have to catch one for supper. BWAHAHAHAHA

We didn't get him out till 3:30, and that Gewber didn't go home, he went and fished till dark. He's a diehard for sure.
