Click to expand... yes, engine is fine. Lower unit is toast, and possibly some damage in the upper. Something is keeping it from going into neutral or reverse? Insurance should cover it. I have $0 deductible for collision and comp.

I don't know what you have or what could be upgraded. Just asking out of curiosity.

I would say that it could have been much worse at that speed but I could be wrong. I was in a bass boat that had hit top of a stump during the drought a few years ago. They actually had more damage and weren't traveling as fast. And what does "Family Medical Leave" have to do with this?
