      My friend had a good friend who was going blind with macular degeneration. Almost totally blind, but really bummed that he couldn't take his boat out.
      Our mutual buddy is no ship Captain, and Murpheys law the boat caught on fire, and they had to jump overboard.
      Be careful out there.

      Ok since you asked ,
      1. I would have tilted the outdrive up a little to protect the prop from the rocks. Not all the way but just enough to still have a little thrust without hitting rocks. The higher you raise the prop the less thrust you'll have. 45 degrees of tilt still has a little thrust and it's not going to hit the rocks. . 2 start the kicker and go full throttle. Who cares if it ruins the prop.

    Don't ever buy an I/O, get an outboard. Always carry two anchor systems one galvanized and one aluminum. Have flares and a flare gun with ample extra flares. A marine radio is a must including a membership to seatow. Forget about all your fancy electronics until you take a Coast guard approved boating class. When you take that class make sure you pay attention and take notes. Buy a good chartplotter and learn how to proficiently use it. The chartplotter will have circles with red lines through it indicating it is a dangerous area. do not, and I repeat, do not go in those areas. Make sure you set your chart plotter for an audible warning beep in foul areas. When you hear that beep, turn around and go back. Good luck 👍

    Living basically on Lake Michigan most of my life, I've seen a lot of these situations. Seen numerous boats that misjudged the harbor navigation lights, hitting the pier at 20+ MPH. In 2008, I was heading out with my fiancé to watch the fireworks and took a small wave over the bow. I kicked the outdrive up a bit and hit the gas to bring the bow up until we could get on the downwind side of the harbor. Heard a loud clunk that was the coupler breaking. Wind was pushing us quickly to the rocks, but fortunately there was 1 boat 100 yards behind us and the saw what was happening immediately. By the time we were hooked up to them, we were 20 yards away from the rocks in 4-5 foot waves. Glad you are safe and sorry about the insurance woes.

    Got my first boat last year... 2300 for 83 alumacraft. Still learning on how not to do damage to it. But one thing i learned fast is that the captain doesn't prioritize fishing over navigation. Especially that far out in iffy weather and next to rocks no less. Glad you made out ok. Could have been worst.

      I am 71 and my girlfriend just got a boat on auction for only $1,200 with a 50HP Mercury. It's old! It's a 14' 1976 Crestliner Model: Muskie 550 tri-hull.
      So last week we took it out for the first time. I should have had a map of the river BUT you live and learn. Out not even 30 minutes I hit a rock pile that was under the water and chewed up the prop. Thank God I didn't damage the lower unit. I was actually just going about 10 mph because #1 it isn't MY boat #2 I know NOTHING about boating so I stayed about 75 yards from shore so that I wouldn't get to close and get stuck in weeds or run into anything. The biggest thing that day was learning how to get the boat IN the water then OUT of the water. You are not allowed to power up to your trailer so that wasn't an option. HOWEVER, next time we are going on a lake instead of the river and I DO have a map of the lake.

    • @KoShuFW
      @KoShuFW 4 дні тому +1

      @Dennis_J._Aitken i remember my first time... being on the water is not the safest thing out there... that's why you have mandatory safety equipment 😆. I usually go to dec website for small lakes to look at topo map. I fish, so it gives me a general idea for both navigation and fishing strategies. Invest in gps sonar unit, it will have topo map for navigation but remember that it doesn't know about water levels. Tides add more fun to it. Watch other boats and do not go where they do not go. Note birds on the water, they will perch on logs etc...

  • @LayLow83
    @LayLow83 Місяць тому

    First of all I’m relieved you are both alive and not injured. I’m 69 got my 1st boat at 15 years of age. I own 3 boats currently. Ski Boat, Bennington Pontoon, & a Fishing Boat smaller than your. Major lesson is you don’t have enough respect for the wind. My Pontoon never would’ve left the dock in wind like that. Your boat and my pontoon are a kite in the wind. Depending on the launching ramp and wind getting back on the trailer. Is another decision. Sometimes it is best just to say we’re not going out. Yes, I have dented some feelings but in my opinion everything including my passengers safety is 100% my responsibility.
    My options on live scoping I will keep to myself.
    Your best outcome will be Progressive totaling the boat and letting you keep it. I had a 3 year old Pontoon get totaled because the marina storage building collapsed from the weight of Ice & Snow. With Allstate Insurance I came out smelling like a rose. But they canceled me because I had 2 claims in 25 years. The other claim was do to vandalism at the marina. Approximately 40 boats were vandalized over the weekend. My vandalism claim was $1,400. I am also currently insured with Progressive only on my watercraft since 2014 currently claim free.

    I had something like this happen once. It went from nice to crazy wind and once I got into it I couldn’t use any motors and didn’t have an oar. I ended up getting the water and pushing the boat off the rocks just enough to then start motor and somehow didn’t hit one. It is a scary feeling and the water is so powerful it is hard to get out.

  • @Hookedonfishingforlife
    @Hookedonfishingforlife Місяць тому +1

    I’d like a update on this. I also have progressive. When I insured my boat and the 3 graphs one with livescope they asked me if they were permanently on the boat. Since I mainly keep them on the boat besides ice fishing I said yes because I thought that would make them cover them if it was part of the boat. But my livescope bundle just like yours is removable along with the two graphs at the console I remove them all for ice fishing. Now I’m worried I made a mistake and should call them back and tell them they are not permanently part of the boat. I never thought it through. I just figured if they where part of the boat they would cover them and if they weren’t then they wouldn’t cover them. Like you said if they total the boat they’d want everything since it’s all “one package” if they are on permanently that’s very sneaky of progressive.

    Anything added to the boat AFTER your date the insurance was started would / should be able to be removed. It wasn't part of the $15,000.
    Think of it this way....
    If you insured it for $15,000 and later put $2000 of electronic stuff and someone stole the boat, the insurance company wouldn't cover $17,000. They would say you should have upped your value. They can't have it both ways......but will try.

    22:19 Those lunds are way over priced for a rivet boat. If they total it look into a welded boat. Always get a agreed upon value when buying insurance. They will pro rate the original 15k . It was never agreed 15k or appraised. Good luck I have been there

      Welded boats don't flex. I was sold a Brand New welded boat and the 3rd trip on Erie it had 13 broken welds. My riveted Lund has never blown out a rivet. They rivet airplanes for a reason. Metal must flex. The only boat companies that have welded hauls down pat are west coast boats.

    Water breaking (white caps) with no water breaking (white caps) in the surrounding area always means shallow water. Getting oneself upwind and then allowing yourself to begin drifting towards the water breaking (white caps) is a bonehead move. You should have gone to the anchor first to stop your drift and start kedging yourself out to deeper water. You were lucky getting someone to tow you out, you could have been there with your boat hammering itself into aluminum recycling scrap.

    Honestly can't say how i would react during this situation ( just avoid these kind of areas to begin with). Just happy you're safe guys. Insurance is a nightmare most the time no matter the coverage. Like i said on IG if you were not taken care of right I would consider dropping my commercial and personal policies (and I have decent number of policies underwritten with progressive.. Shopping around ahead for renewal time.

    Sorry Alex, But you are obviously fairly new boater, you put yourself into a dangerous place. Lucky for you the boat did not suffer greater damage and sink. Then you would have been sitting on those rocks until rescued. It was pretty dumb. You fix the dents and scratches to your satisfaction at your expense, and live with it. Lesson learned, don't put yourself in a dangerous position next time. Sorry about being truthful.

    Yeah that’s BS on the insurance company the fish finder that was originally on it is all they should get if that , , I’d say if it’s a big fight just to get it fixed , as it’s a aluminum boat , a good shop should be able to fix that boat back to close to where it was before the accident ,

  • @machew2009
    @machew2009 Місяць тому

    The boat is not totaled also they can not require you to keep the electronics in the boat. Unless they are going to pay you for the electronocs the value of the electronics above the 15,000 for the boat. Did you list any of the aftermarket accessories including electronics on your insurance or did you just list the boat and trailer?

    You need to take off the electronic gear before you take and send pics. Not to jump on your accident and hardshipo, but hard to believe those rocks being so close, you did not reverse away no matter what any plotter or chart told you. But most importantly, you guys are okay.

  • @matthewtrapp7756
    @matthewtrapp7756 4 дні тому

    Not sure why you have a problem with the electronics. Obviously the electronics would up the value of the boat and make it so it is not totaled so easily. They assign a value to the boat when it got in an accident not after. When the boat got in an accident it had all the electronics on it. No matter what you insured it for it does not matter. Values of items change lately it changes monthly it seems. You may be able to argue the video game systems were not permanent but the trolling motor is a hard to say it’s not permanent with 36volt batteries, charger and where is your other boat you mount it to? Every time I have ever insured a boat they ask about electronics and tell me if I add them make sure I call and add them to the policy. You obviously didn’t call and add them.

    How do they know what electronics you have mounted on the boat? If there’s mounting holes or mounts for equipment perhaps that was there when you purchased a boat doesn’t mean it’s yours, sure seems like a scam to me.
