We usually go out west somewhere but I had a family commitment in Maryland on the 4th.

We do like the mountains for vacation tho. I just want to be gone before it gets cold.

Perhaps what we can't see in the picture is the big-ass boulder that the front of his 'toon now rests upon.

It happens.

Two weekends ago I hit one at low speeds when trying to beach on what appeared to be mud, I don't know how big it was, but the entire pontoon pivoted on the right tube and then dropped off the side of it. No damage was done... grr ROCKS!

No I have a short movie of this guy driving around (accident of using a new camera). That is just how the boat sits.
I have more pictures, I just picked this one because you can see this is not a big V8 engine.

I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people.. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.

I live in Florida and if I'm lucky, I get a busload of grandkids to visit for vacation.
Otherwise, every day off is a vacation in Florida.
