i can just about see the boat from my lot lol. Not sure exactly what he was thinking as it is widely known that this river pretty much drains in these conditions. To the point of actually bridging land between the mouth. Its almost tide like . . . . we are currently at -27 from datum where we are normally +30 or so.

The dude with the stern drives down in pic 4 must be hating this LOL. Instant impeller destruction upon his next start up! I'd pull those hoses and do a back flush for sure.

Hard to to get fired being self employed, I did my job missed the show. I have the good fortune of surviving big storms both on lake michigan and the pacific ocean. 60' waves on a 800' vessel is nothing compaired to a 30' wood Chiris Craft on lake michigan in 16-18' seas. I was 7 or 8 years of age. I asked gramps why he had not put on a kapock . "if we capsize its over".We hit the sea walls coming into grand haven.

prop? . . . . we have found no less then a half a dozen snowmobiles . . . and a scooter lol. We go out and mark obstacles on GPS, you can walk for miles where there is normally six or seven feet of water when it gets real bad. Check out the old turn of the century pilings, they are not marked but are on navigation charts which is why i preach knowing how to read charts over gps in unfamiliar waters. There are two sets, one in the river and one at the mouth. take note of the ones on the ends that are pushed over . . . . boaters that did not know how to use charts lol
