Hope he makes a full recovery! "Life is a matter of luck and the odds of success are in no way enhanced by extreme caution." - Erich Topp, German U-boat Commander, 1943. When in doubt, set the hook.

Neither of us knew where we were going. I was looking at it, it looks like it could keep the motor out of the seats. This boat owner needed one for sure. Eat. Sleep. Fish.
