1 low hour skeeter, garage kept...... I don’t think it would take much to fix it up really. Some glass work on the bottom, thoroughly clean the inside, new batteries, flush the fuel tank.

We had a derby yesterday. We was grabbing keys from guys who fished alone to help them load up before going to the dock to let my partner grab our truck. That wind was terrible

Lots of comments on here about how.. I was on Ray Roberts when that blew in headed back to Jordan from Sand Branch. Easy run. But when you get out sideways to the waves you start taking water over the sides and back. First you say screw the no wake area. If you do you sink. Once your at the ramp you have one shot ago getting tied to the dock and one shot getting on the trailer. 25 mph wind sideways or behind you is tough to say the least.Even If you can handle a boat your in the rocks quick. Party over

I watched a guy sink one on Sam Rayburn years ago. On the old Cassel Boykin ramp. It happens very quickly. Three big waves and it was sunk. I saw some ol boys sink a center console right outside of fishermans point on RC years ago while we were bank fishing, it can happen fast for sure.

I never like to jump to conclusion, because I wasn't there, and it very well could happened to me someday. But until I see this in person, I will NEVER understand how these people end up putting their rig on land, regardless of conditions. For example those two guys that ran that boat up on a dam a few weeks ago. Even if it was night time foggy... How do you possibly end up with yourself sitting on land. Do you just completely disregard your location on the lake with unfavorable conditions and just have her pinned down balls to the walls anyway? How do you possibly not know that you are that close to land?
