This trip was such an adventure I really couldn't decided which forum to post the story in. <br /> <br />Well, I planned to get out early and take the morning off yesterday. John Apple was going to come along. We planned to run up the low section of the river between Mexico and Laguna Dam. <br /> <br />John called me a bout 2:30am and said he was going to haev to cancel as he was feeling like cr^p. I decided I didn't want to run a very shallow stump and sandbar infested section of river inthe dark without anybody along for moral support when I put her out of the water. <br /> <br />It was a good thing I didn't get out in the morning. I had forgetten about a dental appointment to have a new procelain crown put in. You should see my new smile. :^) <br /> <br />Anyway, as the afternoon started to roll around I gave John a call to see how he was doing. Much better and ready to go if I still wanted to. Cool. It was an adventure from the start. We launched at West Wetlands Park ramp... well actually below the ramp as it was completely out of the water. .... <br /><br />For the rest of the story <CLICK HERE>

Re: Fishing Report, Salavage, Exploring, Etc

The spun hub is spun... I was using an old beat up prop already so no big deal. One of two beaters that came witht he motor when I obught it. A new prop and it moves out real good. My only real complaint is the new prop is slightly slower than the old prop. Same pitch and diameter, but he blades are noticably thicker, and have a slightly squarer edge. I lost about 2MPH top end with the new prop. Anybody know if somebody other than Michigan Wheel still makes props for the Force 50?
