Basically ran aground but the mighty raptor powered thru it. My contribution is to make a weight and rope and a bumper and go Mark the spot. My buddy watched 2 boats run aground out there last weekend prior to me. So this will be my addition to the lake and helping the party patrons of Prater flats stay out of the "flats"

Sorry man.

Prater Flats got me years ago when leaving and I got too far on the right side. Comes up fast. I was not paying close enough attention and I knew it was there. Got the boat turned in time and was able to get the prop fixed.

Dang that sucks but thankfully it can all be repaired. Are you going through your insurance? Did the exact same thing years ago. Gel coat, shaft, and prop. Insurance payed everything except the deductible. Hope your back on the water soon.

Yeah it's gonna be an insurance job. Was at the dealer pricing parts and they had everything in stocks in multiple quantities except the strut. I went ahead and bought it since it seems to take forever to make it 20 miles from the factory to the dealer if they don't have it. So as soon as the approval goes thru I will have it torn down and ready to go.

Good start to the weekend, Friday nights are always a blast.

Yep, and Welcome! Happend to mine within the first month. Found the knob in my cupholder. It really is a poor choice of placement for something that has a knob. Right in the stair step! It's only a matter of time before a kids foot gets it.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b7d3b79ae5.jpg

New addition to the dock. If you don't have one of these, you need it. I am going to order another one so my wife and I don't fight over it!
