Im done

Well it was one of those days. Started the day off at 6:30am after a good night's sleep with a nice hot cup of coffee. Weather is not all that great, at least for the Texas Panhandle, 19 degrees with a wind chill of 5 degrees. I've fished a lot worse, but its doable. We get to the lake and unload without a hitch. It's going to be a good day! Make a short run to a long point that comes off of a big flat and runs all the way out to the middle of the lake to 30 FOW with a nice hump 30 yards off of that. Shad and fish are stacked....OMG! So heres where things get interesting. I make a hard turn to go back and mark the top of the hump and end of the point and the gears in the helm strip when I go to straighten out. Now I'm in a hard left turn 3 miles south of the ramp in a stiff, cold, north wind. I would have loved to stay and fish it but was afraid I would need ever bit of the TM batteries to get back in that wind.

I keep pouring good money after bad to keep that piece of junk on the water. I think this is the final straw. I refuse to put another dime into it. I've thought about selling it, but setting off 5lbs of tanerite in it would be much more enjoyable. Stay tuned there could quit possibly be a kewl video coming up in the near future.

I feel you. When a car or boat gets some age on it it's a money pit and I will send it on its way

A new cable & helm is not all that expensive.... just sayn...
Not sure of the boat or what you have in it but that would not be a determining factor to make me get rid of my float....
That would be no fun if by yourself but if you had a podner he could have directed the motor by hand at high idle to get back in....KEEP AT'EM....

Sorry you are having so much trouble. That's the reason they call them a BOAT B=break O=out A=another T= thousand.

Cable and helm would cost more than the boats worth. I would much rather use the money and buy enough tannerite to send it into the atmosphere.

Bury her a sea. Mark her on your gps.

It should make a good fish condo.

When we own older boats that is going to happen just have to go with the flow

Still cheaper than buying a new one.

Just think about it....... blow the old one up and get a new one!! It's only money. And look at the fun.
