 Tree vs boat!
Ridin around during huntin season and had to get through some shallow timber pretty fast. Went good for about 40 ft then bumped a tree and went straight for another one! Gettin it on at about 21-22 mph! About to cut chop and rebuild this evenin to it! Then on top of that broke my trim motor where it bolts in the front!

 Re: Tree vs boat!
Almost got it done. I don't think you will be able to tell when I get done with it! Wasn't that bad of a ride! I jumped up as soon as I saw I was headed for it! I had to limp back for about 3 miles or so! I was lucky I didn't get hurt because no one knew where I was!!

 Re: Tree vs boat!
That's the difference between 3003 and 6061 grade aluminum. That was just some old thin pipe I had laying around the shop. Next boat is going to have 2 1/2 3/16 6061! It's all trial and error!
