I went to plug my boat in this evening and found a snake down by the batteries and I just saw about ten inches of him before he went behind the gas tank of my boat! Does anyone know a good way to get the thing out!!!

Hang a mouse by the tail on a stick, when he bites yank him out of the boat. Kinda like fishing.
Just kidding. Hope you get him out so you can go fishing.

Yes Sir, I had the same trouble about two years ago, after flippin bushes all day in a tournament. So I put in the Moth balls and pulled the plug, just a couple mintues out came the small 10 -12 inch snake, copperhead that we had seen after putting the boat on the trailer, after returning to the motel, a second snake came out from under the console, about a three foot water snake. Anyhow I'll never fish the Red River again without mothballs in the boat. They also keep squirrels and mice out too. Fact : Poisionness snakes never leave the lake , unless transfered ! Bandit water snakes dislike us on the water

Bandit water snakes dislike us on the water Dan I would guess they came from the bushes we where fighting all day. You could see snakes on the logs as well, but three or four time we saw snakes jump from the bushes into the water. Not sure when the three footer got in to the boat, but I'm almost sure where the little copperhead fell in.

We dont have bugs in our house. My wife strongly believes in moth balls. My mom put moth balls in every room and closet in our house growing up. After 20 years or so of that that is all I can smell when i walk in her house now.

If moth balls don't work, try a flea bomb. Don't know about snakes but if you every get ants invading your boat, put the cover on, throw in a couple of flea bombs, come out the next morning to a pest free boat.
