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

Hot damn that was to close! Surprised the driver didn't see it coming...

It was underwater a few inches only popping out from waves..

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.

Just floating beneath the surface..

River or lake? Either way. Scary...
