I was docked last night at Stillhouse at about 11:30 pm. Was the only boat n the park, fished the boat ramp, used the trolling motor to dock, tied it off and went to my truck. After i backed down some ski boat came speedin into the cove close to my boat causing it to smash into the dock HARD! when i went down there the boat left the cove. Pulled up my TM the main shaft of the Minn kota is bent and the whole motor fell out & the only thing holding it was tranducer cables. I would think that if you screwed up causing that, you could at least man up to you mistakes.. cost me 1200 bucks for a new 101 minn kota.

If you had proof it was him, he would have to pay for it.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way you are a mile away, AND you have their shoes.

I fished Stillhouse on Friday and saw the goofballs begining to trickle in. Stayed home Sat-Mon. Had a great day and the lake all to myself Tuesday morning.

If you were to have gotten back in your boat, track that guy down and get his information from him you could have made a claim. He caused the wake in a no wake area. He is liable for your damages.
