The Bad Day, Im Done

[justin scobee]

K fishbait and I went out to cedar rige after work today. We fished for about 30 or 40 mins and I for got my lighter in my truck so we ran back to get it. I was about 150yards from the ramp. I was running my 115 wide open when I heard a pop crack behind me. I turned around and look and did not see any think so just I just went on then heard a BIG pop and a crack and my motor started to ideal down slowly be its self as I looked back I seen a crack by my motor on the boat. Then the motor slowly started sink down. I turned to josh and told him NOT TO LOOK BACK as he did. I ideal it all the way down just to a putt. The motor was very very holding on. IT was over half way under water. I new if it went in It would make a big as hole and sink the boat. I had my 7 year old boy too. We all had are life vest on. I got it to the ramp and all I got now is a motor and stuff and a junk boat. I am VERY VERY glad it did not sink and we had to swim as there was no one around. And we would lose all are rods and and fishing stuff. Man was my butt hole puckered....... The fun part was trying to get the motor up just to get the boat out of the water. Hmmmm well I had to go in in my boxers. LOL sorry for any one who had to see that. Did not think it would make it home with out falling off but it did some how. Heres some pics. My Boat will not be able to make it to the fishing gathering in July. Thanks justin

THat motor is a heavy SOB.

Holy crap. That really sucks. Good think it held on long enough to get your boy back to the ramp. Looks like I may be getting my little 40hp out on the 1st.

That really sucks Justin. Owning a boat can be a major head ache sometimes. Glad you didn't lose your motor, at least you have something of value left.

Hey its reallllllllll bad. I don't see what Is holding it on at all. Its all broke all the way around the motor on the transom. Im really glad too. Im glad we got it loaded and saved the motor that way I can at least sell it and get some of my money back out of it. I did a trade for it for my lowes I had and the vaule u was at 2600 Thanks josh for helping me with it and sorry for the bad trip

That sucks.At least everyone made it back safe and you was able to salvage your motor and everything else.Best of luck and i hope you get back out on the water soon.

Justin, there is a boat repair shop in Nixa. It is just north of the Walmart there. Would have them take a look at it. They might be able to repair it for less than another used boat.

Also this is a prime example of what the other word for a boat is...... a hole in the water that you pour money into!!!!
