Customer said he hit something
 
3 Attachment(s)
I think OSO should have a picture of the week on the first page showing the damage of the week and here is my choice for this week. My customer said he just hit somethig and lost steering. Note the trim rams held on and the drive is stuck in the top of the boat.

Tell Him You Think There Is A "id Ten T"problem With The Boat That Probably Caused This And It Should Be Fixed And When He Ask What That Is Have Him Spell It Out.

It looks more like damage from the boat on a trailer that backed into something or was whacked from behind by a vehicle.

I knew a guy once that hit the old damn at Lake Pleasant when the water level was low and he tore his drive completely off without damaging the bottom of the hull what so ever. He said he looked back and saw it flying through the air. :eek: :eek:

Let's see, JB WELD, Duct Tape, a REALLY BIG hammer, a piece of chewing gum, and about 2 hours and Hot Boat would have that thing running like new! :drink: :D

We do, he came from FL to VA to do our poker run last week. Nice guy who brought his 2 dogs on the run in a 20 FT. BAJA!! I don't think this is the same boat though.
