Few pics of the destruction of hitting a floating log submeged under some veggies. Had plans for an evening hunt but did not make it.

looks like you hit somthing harder than a log .... I hit logs and stumps every trip out

Oh I didn't know you were there. You could have helped me get out then. Next time lend a hand.

That sucks BIG TIME.....

acually I was hoping you would say that it could have been a concrete object or something, cause that kinda scares me. I hit at least 5 to 10 stumps and logs everytime I go hunting, its rough getting to my spot, and I run WOT through it. I just though these things were indestructable, makes me want to take it easy going though the timber after seeing that

stumps or logs shouldnt break blades off of props or crack frames....they need to beef their shit up a little more

Thats Sucks!!!!!! Sorry to see that myboy. hopefully your motor manufacturer will work with you on it.

Hate to see that especially during duck season. Hope they can get you back on the water in a hurry! You just got that motor didn't you??

Beef it up. Wow. Hitting objects at 4800 something has to give. Have hit plenty of stumps, logs, concrete rocks under bridges and debris in water. Just one of those things that happens. It will not be long just have to get the housing parts in and put on. Picked the boat up 10/10 and just hit forty hours on the motor when this happened.

I thought that was the beauty of the belt drives, belt gives before chit like that happens???????

WOW Thats some serious damage!!! Hope they get you back up an running soon!!!

Should have the parts in Friday and up and running by Sunday afternoon.

dam man thats sucks

Holy Chit!!! Yes Beef it up....

DAAAAAAAAAYYYUUMMMM!!!! thats pretty bad! but to make them things truly indestructible theyd have to weigh a ton! thats why they made um so you could turn em to go AROUND some stuff

That sucks!

Thats why I went godevil, i was hitting lots of iron in reggio after katrina with my inboard,I wanted steel and only gd came that way.

JD

Was that a mudbuddy in every pic?

yes

WOW!!! 4800 rpms?????? That is well past the optimal power range for most motors.....We run a 30 horse professionally built to the hilt and the motor has the best power at 3200-3400 rpm.....maybe try for a little less rooster tail in the back country. But I wish you luck with it.

that would piss me the hell of right there.now hold on here. a guy told me,and he had a setup like yours,that if the boat cleared it the motor would.i guess that's not true.
