    It Happened

    Pushed the 1880 a bit far,,,,ran out gas going to weigh in. Thought we could get one more short trip....well...now I know gauges are pretty accurate!!
    All is well...it all worked out.

    Gauge was accurate...when it was just over the line....well....it was just over empty!!! But....now will fill and know I have 30 gallons and a long time to run and when I get to just above a quarter....FILL IT. This will give me lots of play...Dog gone boat goes so far on gas was begging to wonder anyway
    Good friends stopped and got our fish...had five min to spare. Electric motor stayed strong on ten for half hour till we got in. We ended up winning so that was a good band aid for the evening.
    Caught one almost four pounds racing down the bank on "10"...this was exciting. This was the "game changer"
