Re: Close call for MJ
Wow, glad to hear that both of you are okay. Sounds like you kept your wits about you and got yourself out of what could have been a very bad situation. Also nice to hear it's not going to put a hold on your season.

Re: Close call for MJ
A lesser boat and/or a lesser engine you would not be talking to us now, plus a helping hand from above for sure because engines generally do not run under water.
I am glad you and Kenny made it to port safe, hope all will be ok for your V also. Let me know if I can be of some help.

Re: Close call for MJ
Thanks everyone!!!
Axe the zip is 02673, Thanks again!!!!!!!!! No drinks CB just tired as all hell! Yes the V is one tuff boat!! and all you guys asking for capacity plates, Forget it!! I had more water in there yesterday then you can have without being on the bottom of the ocean, and she stayed floating the whole time!! As for my $700 motor goes, It has been the best $700 I have ever spent!! and as Willy said if I had a lesser motor, this one a HP, it would not have been strong enough to push all that weight to get the boat level again! Called Kenny this morning and we are both ok, some cuts and bumps, and we are both soar this morning but doing just fine!! I have to work Fri & Sat, going to pull the windshield now that I know I have a new one coming, Kenny and I will be fishing the V on Tue with out a windshield till it gets here and I have time to put it on. CB you still going out with me next week?? :o Thanks again guys!!

Re: Close call for MJ
OMG! That IS one great motor! A serious close call no doubt! Were there any other boats around? What was the water temp?
Sounds like you did everything right. When the wave period gets tight and some big rollers come in the nose of the V will go in and its sounds like you stuffed her pretty good to shatter the whole windshield! Thank the Lord ya'll made it back And what a bonus to bring the boat back too! Motor still running like new! WOW! :o 8)

Re: Close call for MJ
Hey MJ sorry for the 20 questions but did any of your gear float out of the boat? Not that the gear was important considering your lives were in imminent danger.
