Could I possibly have any more boat issues this year, Grrrrr.

First I have the issue with my Tracker and the stringers cracking. I just got that boat back after 2+ months.

Now, like I really needed anything else, I lose the prop off my ProCraft.........Yes I said lose my prop.

Me and a friend put the boat in today, make a short run, and start fishing. After catching a few smallies we decide to go to another spot close by. I fire up the motor, shift it into gear......nothing. Feels like it didn't shift. I monkey around with the shifter (I have a hot foot) and my bud pulls the cowling. Everythings connected? He tilts the motor up and says "uhh... dude, your prop is gone."

Fortunately we were close and could use the TM to get back in.

I feel like punching myself in the face over and over again.

May have a Tracker and a ProCraft for sale very soon :)

Wow, sorry to hear that man.  You're having a rough year so far.  Hope everything starts getting better for you soon.  At least getting a new prop is a lot easier than dealing with Tracker.

I had something similar happen to me a few years ago. I was pulling into a dock and I put the motor in reverse to slow down and nothing happened the motor just revved. I get the boat stopped with the boat hook wasn't going that fast. I tilted the motor and noticed the prop was gone. I had a spare but not the washer that goes under the nut. I drove for two hours all over Ontario to find that washer. I made sure I got two.

Life is often like that; things come at you in bunches. Hang in there. Boat ownership is a fine thing...most of the time. Good luck.

I just got a boat a couple months ago and I have to say that's the d**n truth.

the 2 happiest days of your life are

the day you buy a boat

the day you sell the boat

I don't know about that one I purchased a well used and abused Nitro and I absolutely love spending time with it on and off the water...Call me wacky I guess :)

That's cause someone else took the $15k hit on depreciation.  ;D
