My brother cou;d break a sledge hammer with paper

Ok maybe not that bad yet, but he did brake a prop last year going under the same bridge we been under ten times with me on,
then out by his self the first time out with the family without me trashed the prop, he paying for his learning, this Friday ,
while his Brother was laid up in a hospital bad , out in the middle of the lake and said he never felt anything,he broke the prop guard,
but it did it's job the prop had one little nick in it , but that guard was hit hard and heavy, it would have taken out the prop.

I left it big so you can see it good, little picture is how it use to look


I never did ask if it was before or after drinking at Hurricane's Bar and Wings on the Lake :drink2 :drink2 :drink2 :drink4 :drink4 :drink4

Wow. Learning curve.
From the looks of how hard he hit, he mighta took out the shaft as well as the prop. Maybe those funny looking guards have a use after all!
