Got turned around heading back to the dam and all the sudden the whole boat started shacking. I immediately shut it down and started with the F bomb thinking I had just tore it up and we was a long way from the ramp. I got that sick feeling in my belly going oh shit this is gonna be bad!! I jumped in and swim under to feel the prop (I need to buy dive goggles, not that you could see in Jordan lake with them anyways). The prop felt fine other then the small ding already in it. Got back in and fired it up, slowly eased her into gear with no vibration. Slowly sped up still with no vibrations all the way to WO. Looked it over after loading at the end of the day with no noted damage. Only thing I can figure was I limb got in the prop and come out as soon as I shut it down.
I hate seeing post of prop strike and I always worry about it. I hope you get her fixed soon and hopeful we will run across y'all on Jordan one day (far away for underwater hazards)!!
Yeah Todd.....pretty much the same feeling, but just not the happy ending for me! LOL. Yeah I always put in at Poe ramp / B. Evertt damn and head up to "party cove" normally. I have been to this cove that I had the strike in before but never...and I mean never have seen any logs floating there and I always see skis and boats going WO in there. I really would like to report the spot to the park service or some that would check it out and consider marking it as a hazard, but I I don't know how good it would do.
I mean for something that soild to lift my boat and jack up my boat that bad I would think it would warrent being considered. As for running across you this year / fall idk if I will even have it fixed in time, but yeah we will have to try and link up if so or worse case next spring for sure. I normally try to gather a few buddys of mine and we roll into Jordan and chill normally with our ladies, but here lately I have just been going out on Sundays. If I come out I will be a passenger on someones boat, so you know what that means.
