Hitting rock bottom at 25 mph will do that. My fault for not paying attention to channel buoys on the Miss. Yes, I cursed myself severely.
Not good! Sorry to hear, never a good thing to learn the hard way. It seems that is the only way I seem to learn my lesson these days.
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 have no idea, that's why I asked you rather than made a suggestion. I don't know what you have or what could be upgraded. Just asking out of curiosity.
I don't know of anything you can do to a Merc Bravo III drive to upgrade it? Except maybe replace it with a Volvo-Penta.
Wow, that's terrible! 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?
