TEOTWAWKI Boat

Hey, HJ. They worked pretty good. I still need to put lids(hatch covers) on them as you can see by the video(100_3507). I will like to see the new boat.

This is add on in the water:

 

Rats, my stupid Samsung Tablet wont open your two attached files...

Sigh...

 

I'll see what I can do to remedy that.

Hey, thanks Hoyt!

Awesome footage!

 

Tom, I don't know if you can do this with a tablet but it works on a computer:

If the pic won't open by clicking the thumbnail, you can Right-Click the thumbnail and copy the shortcut which you can then paste into the browser.

 

Motor sounds like it is very happy

 

It is, even though it had banana stalk fibres wrapped around the prop at the time.

 

Bent another prop. Somebody opened the dam and took too much water out of the Withlacoochee River.
Bought a sonar. Hopefully I will bend fewer props.

 

I hate it when that happens!

 

I figure the sonar will be a good investment.

 

If it stops you from going thru props the way you have been, it should pay for itself in no time.

Last year I bought a trolling motor at a yard sale. It was still in the box, and it's so old that the box brags about its 'computer-designed motor.' It came brand-new with a spare prop. The places where I use the motor have mostly silty or sandy bottoms so I may never need the spare, but I thought it was a nice touch.

 

If it saves 3 props it will have paid for itself.

 

Hoyt, you seem to be messing around in that nasty salwater in Tampa bay. Down by the convention center maybe? Say it aint so.

 

I was, but I bent the prop on the Withlacoochee. We also did the Anclote River a couple of weeks ago. Don't worry. I rinsed the rig.
