    Use caution

    I messed up my prop big time loading the boat at Burnside Island today. I had the mota lifted high enough I thought, but it's so shallow with the 10,000 ton of gravel they've put in. I was powering up the last 6" when I felt the back end lift

    Whats the damage report? Kinda know how it feels, we got out of the channel on Barkley up little river to avoid a catfisherman in it. It was a nice and some $$$ to Mark. Very unsettling when the back end suddenly but so smoothly raises up and settles back down like going over a speed bump.

    I don't think so, pretty sure it didn't. Didn't even scratch the skeg. A guy on the Blazer board GE BLAZER is sending me a TXP 4 blade tomorrow

    Re: Use caution (A.J.)

    I have a TXP 3 , Greg Enlow (GE BLAZER) is sending me a TXP4 tomorrow

    I don't know yet what Mark will charge me to repair my 3, but I'll keep the 3 blade for a spare. Everyone says Mark is da man, we'll see.....
