I hope #^&#^&#^&#^&ens will pardon the plagerism.
It was the best of times, 4:15 yesterday morning, pogies all over the surface and the promise of great things to come.

It was the worst of times. 11:00AM being towed back to the ramp with a blown motor. Thank God for SeaTow, would have cost $500 with out my membership. Andy says it sounds like a siezed rod bearing, big$$$.
Slinger

ohhhh nooooo
 

thats a total bummer....

sorry you had that happen slinger

it could have happened in real snotty weather

so perhaps it happening now is better.

i hope your repairs don't take to long.

Sorry to hear about the engine. Seatow to the rescue again. Hope it's not too costly and time consuming.

yea join the club..... finally got my 13' whaler in after powerpack repairs....... ran great for 3 weeks, then died again.... might be a while before i get back out there

That sucks on the tow. Sorry to hear that but what happened in between:rollem:

Andy, the Merc repair guy thinks it`s a rod bearing and could get to it pretty soon but paying for it is gonna be the problem. Big $$$.
Slinger

Sorry to hear it. The other weekend my buddy was about 20 miles from home when his merc took a dump. 80 hours on it. Only out a few times since he last dropped $3000 after insurance or warranty or whatever... Took 9 hours till he got back. Told it isn't gonna be cheap this time either :(

that sucks- i snapped my shifter cable yesterday- had ot come back to the dock in reverse :hihi:

This just makes me really want a boat...not

In between we were into a pretty good bite on flies. Earlier in the season I caught LOTS on the fly, which is my favorite way to fish. But then I got swept up in the big fish craze and switched over to pogies on the spin rod, I got my fill with 8 fish over 30#. Now it`s time to switch back to what I love most.

Slinger down

LMAO, the thread is 3 years old guys.

You have another boat??????

No. It was his kayak. Now he has to go see an orthopod.....or shave the back of his head, paint a smile on there, and walk around backwards.

4 year old thread Paulie

I am loosing my friggin' mind! Why is there a 4 year old thread ...oh never mind.

seriously! this one threw me for a loop too when i read about nebe's boat...???

i can't imagine what prompted you to dig this one up, Raven.

His current peace of Mind :point: is why

as he's back in... the best of times

I felt bad all day. I read the thread in the boating formum and thought his motor blew over the weekend. :smash:

I miss 2007 from a fishing perspective. :uhuh:
