Nah. Was not me this time.. Happens a lot down here, I hate it when dry land gets in the way..
Ripped out my neighbors sprinkler system pump with a pontoon boat load of friends heading too the bar. Was wondering what the damn pvc pipe in the boat was.
Came into the canal a tad fast, Bro on the front waiting to tie up. Smashed into the dock and he flew about 50 feet across the lawn. Few grass burns, but he was o.k.
Put the boat on another neighbors dock, just about half way.. Jerk was running around like a chicken with his head cut off screaming. Took about 5 of us to get it back in the water.
250 feet? Damn, has to be a Florida record.. Bro on the river had a bass boat fly and come in his living room, think that was just about 60 feet though..
Now I have heard of guys going airborne when they hit unlit buoys at night on the river, when the boat came to a sudden stop..
Always wear a life jacket. Yah never know..
Tell yah the story later, when my flats pole snapped and almost speared a guy, who never saw it, in the head.. Now that was pure accident..
250, well I will be damned.. Bet we can beat that with my Bros go fast..
