New Prop!

Ben on Water Ski's, originally uploaded by Aftershock76.

A while back I was on the Willamette with Ben and decided to do some exploring...

I found a gravel bar!

So.. Yeah.. my prob was pretty much toast. Fortunately I was able to find a used on locally (apparently the props for my boat are pretty rare and hard to find). The new prop, which is in better condition than the old one was before it hit the gravel bar, along with some fins Ben added to the out drive have really helped with the pulling power of the boat.

Ben has no problem water skiing now. Ben, Daniel, Juliah and I went up to Detroit and did some tubing, skiing, and fishing. We had a great time - but won't be going back to Detroit for a day trip any time soon. Every launch site requires a fee, it's just a bit too windy/long of a trip for a day trip.

We still had a great time though!
