Not being in the best of shape doesn't change the thickness of fiberglass where that prop part supposedly went through. Still find that a bit hard to believe.
 
I dont think a prop penetrated the hull unless it ran against it for some time. Like a saw blade but who knows.

And so begins his lesson from Chapter 1 of the book "There's Nothing More Expensive Than A Cheap Boar"

Admittedly... I've read this chapter several times.

Over the years I have seen you just have a way with words sometimes and this is just another good one :D

LOL
 
No mater what you paid for the boat if your hoses and clamps are over 5 years old your courting disaster.
 
I know someone who sold his 41 Hatt to a new boat owner in Marathon a few years ago. After the purchase the buyer kept the Hatt at the yard for an extensive overhaul and when he left Sister's Creek for the first time he strayed from the channel by Sombrero Beach on plane and tore out his undergear in about a foot of water. Both shafts were pulled, the struts and rudders were bent sideways, etc... New boaters.


:cool:

I saw a guy do basically the same thing in a ~50' MY a few years ago here in Destin; there's a 90 degree left turn in the channel after you clear the no-wake zone coming into the bay.

He went straight after throttling up -- the water is ~2' deep there and he ripped out boat shafts. The only reason he didn't sink is that water wasn't deep enough.
 
I saw a 52 Bayliner on the rocks between Orient Point and Orient Light NY, the hired Captain, was delivering the new boat to it's first owner. Not a pretty site. And a few weeks later a Hatt, an aft cabin, that lost it's skipper under way ran aground on Plum Island. the boat was lifted at Brewers Greenport. Hardly any damage. This was about '98.

That little detail seems to be missing on lots of boat ads.
