Trust me ladies and gentlemen I have pulled people out of the water for being stupid. And it is not pretty...Slow Down.. And it's not pretty telling a love one about a death,,,,, lower units can be replaced it just hurts your back pocket, but if it really goes BAD , think about how that would hurt someone that you love...... When is the last time someone has been killed from hitting a stump that is under water? I am kind of in the "people drowning" business and I cannot find a case that has happened. Now there are a lot of people who hit other boats, bridges, docks, they run aground, hit standing timber, sink their boats and so on that end up not in good condition, but I cannot find a case of hitting a stump that is submerged has killed anyone. Do people say it will kill you to be dramatic or do you actually know of a incident where a submerged stump was hit and someone died? This one took about 10 seconds to find running a quick search. I stopped there and didn't look any further. http://www.valleynewslive.com/home/headl...-321259831.html I think it was last year and it was a 30 MPH crash with a submerged tree. One killed and 3 critically injured. Actually, curiosity got me and I went back and started looking again. Started seeing several that occurred last year the caused deaths so I guess the probability of a fatality is higher than even I thought. That boat looks like it hit a standing piece of timber to me and it says "partially submerged tree" in the article. I am talking about a stump completely under the surface, one that isn't visible to the eye. I hit one at around 70 mph a few years back and barely felt it, but it did do a few thousands dollars damage.

Anybody noticed that about 25% of folks these days walk around with a chip on the shoulder?
Sound off.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
