But, my little 9.9 will push me down river at 18mph! This is supposed to be a video of it, I don’t know if it will upload.[ATTACH=full]277650[/ATTACH]I also became an bonafide boat owner today. Forgot to put the plug in. Dropped the boat in the water, pulled it to shore, parked the truck and went pee before coming back to the boat. Heard a tear and a pop, didn’t know what it was. Turns out my plug was out and my auto inflating life jacket went off. Guess I gotta learn the hard way sometimes. On the bright side my bilge pump really moves some water and I know the life jacket system works. I also went from 9 feet of water to 6 inches of water on the same stop in the middle of star lake near braggs. That wasn’t comforting. Looked at my finder/plotter, saw the sudden jump, Felt my skeg hit sand and back in deeper water.</blockquote>
