New Mercury 15hp ML 4 stroke on the showroom floor, $2100.00
Burning up the thrust bearing on your pump with 58 hours on it, $1000.00
Installing the new Merc the day before you burn your thrust bearing, F!%#ing Priceless!
Did any of you see me running up the Columbia from the Cowitz to the Nuke tower? I was the guy that had the motor cover up with the smoke billowing out of it. No? You should of seen it, it was hilarious. I was laughing. If you saw it and weren't laughing you should have been. Actually I wasn't laughing at first, it was kind of serious, but after I realized my boat wasn't burning or sinking, I cackled, boy did I cackle. After we figured out what went wrong I told my buddy to fire up that new Merc. He says to me "which way?" as he's pointing toward the Nuke tower. I say "other frick'n way, we're going home".
What a crapper. The only good thing about the whole deal was that I got to break in my new kicker on the way back to the ramp.
Marked some smelt, but had no luck getting any of the little ******** into a net. I'm thinking my fish finder has to have the screen black with fish before the net thing works. Ran into Ramstrong, he was fishless also. Nice to meet you Ram. Hope the whole smelt thing holds off for a couple of weeks until I can get my horse back.
