Close call for MJ

THE TWO OF YA"LL ARE AMAZING.
Rare to hear of brushes like that and being alright.
I was wondering why you wasen't running the board.
Good to hear your just kicked around. ;D
 
No problem I am just glad that yall are okay. I'll try and check and see what the shipping would be. What is your zip code?
 
Wow, glad to hear that both of you are okay. Sounds like you kept your wits about you and got yourself out of what could have been a very bad situation. Also nice to hear it's not going to put a hold on your season.

A lesser boat and/or a lesser engine you would not be talking to us now, plus a helping hand from above for sure because engines generally do not run under water.
I am glad you and Kenny made it to port safe, hope all will be ok for your V also. Let me know if I can be of some help.
 
Thanks everyone!!!

Axe the zip is 02673, Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

No drinks CB just tired as all hell!

Yes the V is one tuff boat!! and all you guys asking for capacity plates, Forget it!! I had more water in there yesterday then you can have without being on the bottom of the ocean, and she stayed floating the whole time!!

As for my $700 motor goes, It has been the best $700 I have ever spent!! and as Willy said if I had a lesser motor, this one a HP, it would not have been strong enough to push all that weight to get the boat level again!

Called Kenny this morning and we are both ok, some cuts and bumps, and we are both soar this morning but doing just fine!!

I have to work Fri & Sat, going to pull the windshield now that I know I have a new one coming, Kenny and I will be fishing the V on Tue with out a windshield till it gets here and I have time to put it on.

CB you still going out with me next week?? :o

Thanks again guys!!
 
OMG! That IS one great motor! A serious close call no doubt! Were there any other boats around? What was the water temp?

Sounds like you did everything right. When the wave period gets tight and some big rollers come in the nose of the V will go in and its sounds like you stuffed her pretty good to shatter the whole windshield!

Thank the Lord ya'll made it back And what a bonus to bring the boat back too! Motor still running like new! WOW! :o 8)
 
Hey MJ sorry for the 20 questions but did any of your gear float out of the boat? Not that the gear was important considering your lives were in imminent danger.
 
There were lots of boats around but no one even saw us, they were a little far away.
Water 65*

Another boat came in just as we did and asked what happened as I was covered in blood, I told him and they got scared themselfs and thats why they were back in already they had a 20' CC

It was getting tuff out there!
 
After 9 years, this has made me rethink the eletric bilge pump thing!!

I think I will install one this week :-X
 
Ha Ha great minds think a like CTT!!

But the thing here is that it would not have helped this time!!
With all the water it could not have pumped fast enouigh to save bthe day, it would have helped when I got her up right.
 
Wow MJ! Just read it. Glad you are both OK. I would not be surprised if the bracket displacement helped you in that terrible situation. It certainly helped having a full transom. Mine would have been under (again). Let me know if you need any help. I may have a spare Rule 1500GPH. I'll let you know.
 
Man that is scarry!!!!

This is a sobering reminder to all of us, respect the sea and what it can do. Stay alert and have a plan for when it goes wrong.

Glad you and Kenny are OK MJ.
 
MJ:

I'M JUST GETTING BACK TO THE SITE AND LEARNED OF YOUR CLOSED CALL, I'M GLAD YOU CAME OUT ALRIGTH,
THE BOAT CAN BE FIXED, BUT YOU CAN NOT BE REPLACED TO YOUR FAMILY.

I HAD MY CLOSED CALL TO AND THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO INSTALL MY 3000 GPM PUMP AND TO BUY SOME OF THOSE AUTOMATIC PFD'S, MAYBE IS YOUR TIME FOR THAT.

REGARDS, LESTERUS
 
DUDE, I'm just glad you're ok! Your accident is the most exciting part of my vacation LOL rest well MJ and God Speed
 
Glad to hear ya made it!   :o  The Good Lord was watching over you for sure.   ;)  There should be a Wellcraft/Evinrude commercial deal in it for you if you ask me!!   ;D 8)

P.S. I'm was thinking about installing a second bilge pump in my boat a few days ago. Thanks for making up my mind for me! ;D
 
MJ, did you have time to take a gps reading at that location?
The least the coast guard can do is mark the spot with a buoy till they have time to fix that hole in the water. ;D ;D
