Clipped my suck gate and broke it.
The end was floating just below the water line.. Wasn't expecting a 12+ foot tree.

Wow! Imagine hitting that on the wakeboard or slalom ski?

We frequent a lake in Northern WI by the name of Boom Lake- it was used to float logs down the river to the mills..Ive heard of people clipping logs while skiing. Years ago I had a Rinker 186 and hit something on Boom Lake right out in the middle that tore off the skeg and two fins on the prop!

Damn. Was that initially a floater or fixed? Just a few weekends ago we came across almost the exact same thing but it was a floater so we dragged it off out of the way before anyone (or the boat) got harpooned.

That could have been really really bad!!
Glad no one was injured or any major boat damage.
