    Exclamation NOT where to take my 210 !!!!!

    This is what happens when a sandbar grows from spring rains washing in LOTS more sand!!!! There's maybe six (6) inches of water under a very stuck boat. Fortunately the only damage was to my ego. STUFF HAPPENS.

    Lake Palestine, north past the Villages. Well known point/sandbar. It goes out a lot farther than I remembered. Bet I idle some more till I figure out the new shallower areas. Just glad it didn't hurt the boat.

    Appreciate the compliment. I'm really proud of her. Need to make sure I don't ever try to float her that shallow again.

    Dan21XRS,
    Yea, the ego thing smarted, but the ribbing I'm getting locally has been brutal, good natured but still stings.

    I did that to my 190 many years ago, on the upside I sanded my pad and gained some top end speed! Your boat is beautiful by the way.

    I've done that myself. So don't feel alone. About threw me out of the boat also. I was in my Norris Craft with a 250xs doing about 65 & came to an abrupt stop. Bruised up a little but more embarrassed than anything.

    You will probably pick up a few mph from a free hull blue print/light sanding:)

    LOTS of rope, broke three times, snapped one hook. Took another 210 with a Verado, lots of grunting and groaning. Finally got her moving and off the sand. Lucky I wasn't going too fast but we still came to a fairly quick stop.

    If you fish hard, you're gonna get stuck. Glad it didn't hurt your rig.
