He posted it on FB

The video of it dumping an 80w trx is crazy

It made the News4 FB page today. The comments are laughable.

My buddy’s trailer, not mine. I was just the one that knew how to fix it and had the tools....

A new tandem aluminum trailer is on my short list. I’m interested in the Vault hubs unless I have to take to a dealer for cleaning and repacking. I would rather do it myself every couple of years than have to take it in every 5 years.

Yes sir, see above. Easy to do.

Has anyone fished Keller bay?
Some general info on it would be excellent! Looking at the google earth, there doesn't appear to be any midbay reefs or hazards to watch out for?

It was a catch fest with one problem, it took 15 catches to get a keeper. Seriously, 1 in 15 went in the cooler, it was fun, but tough. Pretty much hit anything you threw in a sand pocket. We did manage a couple 22-24's and one guy caught a 28. Fun time with great guys. Here's one pic for SWS since he doesn't like me posting reports without pics. Besides that, the rest of the pics would look the same.

We messed em up pretty good Saturday in PoC with Jimbo Barnes. Limits of trout for all and one red. Easily threw back 3 more limits, caught trout on every wade. Nothing of any special size, but dang near all were keepers, lots of 16" fish.

That's what I like to hear!! Glad y'all had a good time and caught some fish.

Guys I have a question. What is a 2004 Alumacraft Bay Invader with a 2004 optimax worth? Its a 19', has just over 300 hours, needs seats recovered and the jack plate needs rewired.
Other than that it seems to be in good shape.

Thanks for any input.

With needing the work I would say (sight unseen) $3k-$3.5k that also depends on the trailer. If you had all the work done on it you may fetch closer to $10k but again, that depends on the trailer and sight unseen and apparently I am not a good judge of boat values because mine is still for sale and it needs nothing but a new owner.

You gettin' the hang of it!! BUT now I got a crick in my neck! That's still a fun day if you got your string pulled 15 times as many as the number of fish on your stringer!!

Motor isn’t worth pooooo, boats don’t loose much value if kept in shape

I didn’t have to work today, I should have went fishing. Oh well, I’m on vacation next week.
