Close call for MJ

chumbucket · #1 07-24-2007, 08:38 PM

MJ called me this afternoon. Seems he got hit by a rogue 10' wave and almost went down. He was out fishing with his bud Kenny when the wave hit. The boat rolled, windsheild blew out, electronics blew off. His face got cut up pretty good from the glass. Sounds like they barely made it back to port.
I'm sure MJ will post on this later when he gets a chance. I'm just glad that he and Kenny are okay. The boat can be fixed.

HOLY CRAP! ...this happen today??

Yup. He sounded a little shaken up over the phone. Said the motor was fully submerged except for the top 2"
A lot of water in the boat.
Kenny got cut up too. :o :-[

Glad to here everyone is ok and safe. Screw the damage to the V.
We all have enogh spare parts floating around to getter running again.
Lefty and I were just outside of the inlet last season and we were getting nailed from all side's. a little pale in the face, but back in one piece.

I posted in another post a guy giving away a V. It slid or fell off a trailer. he offered it for free to a friend of mine. Not sure if he will do the same for me though, but I'll check. It's a Sport V-20...or a V20 Sport. Windshield might work on M.J.'s boat.

I thought I had a bad day. Glad to hear MJ is OK. We can cobble together a few V parts. Here I was focusing with one of Wiily's best pal's. Glad your AOK big guy. Give us the details when you can...

I have a extra boat with a good windshield it is a 74 V20 but it is in Texas. We could all pitch in for shipping and I will donate it for free. I have some pictures that MJ posted for me in the General section.
