A couple of weeks ago my family headed out for a week of much needed rest and relaxation. My wife left with the Forerunner before me loaded with stuff. I did a few more things around the house and mounted a set of teak and stainless steel steps on the V. After I washed and waxed the V, I hooked to it and headed on down too. I got 25 minutes from the house, in Elizabeth City, and while stopped at a stoplight a young girl slammed right into my boat. I got out to check the damage and she was standing beside her car, cell phone in hand, asking me was my boat ok. I kneeled down to look at the outdrive and she jumped in her car and hauled a$$. I didnt get her lic number but went to the EC police dept and filed a report. I was lucky I had the outdrive trimmed up I guess, it chipped the skeg and scratched up the lower unit and left some burgandy paint on the SS prop. It peeled her hood back and busted her grill and headlight. The policeman said she was probably texting and probably didn't have any insurance anyway. Ive fixed all the damage but it still pisses me off! So yall watch out for those a$$holes that think they cay can text and drive!
