I haven't heard about that. I heard about a 25' grady with twins going through the ICW north of BI that hit an obstruction...both lower units on the 250's supposedly went through the rear window of a VW bug and got stuck. When they were attempting to pull off it is rumored the transom cracked and she was taking on water. Again that's second hand.
I will be going aluminum prop on the Grady this year if I can even get into my slip. There is a house in the lagoon blocking entry and a sailboat is still on top of our walking bridge which prevents access to my slip anyway.
Once I get in the water if anyone wants to take a very sloooow ride with me to check out the bay you are welcome to do so. I am going to have the onboard GPS and the handheld going so I can chart clean water. Most of my fishing is done from 5-midnight. I'd rather not run blind. I haven't used electronics for my nighttime navigating ever but this year it will be a necessity.
