Was river fishing yesterday, and hit a rock , removing a small chunck of propeller from my 35 horse Johnson, the size, maybe a little smaller than a dime. It didn't appear to cause any problem, but of course being on the river, I couldn't open 'er up. Is this something that should get replaced ASAP, or is this no big deal? If I should get it replaced, about how much for a prop and where? I am thinking used.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
