I have taken my boat (15' sport) up two (I would almost call them puddles) super shallow, super tight (we're taling 6' wide here folks) creeks that were about 18" deep w/ the engine tilted, and prop just touching the water on a moon tide, I went about a half mile up one creek with many surprised looks from people in yards (they never saw a boat up these creeks, not one under "power" anyway), I saw one guy was emptying his lawn clipping into the creek, it looked like he was doing this all summer as the clipping were all over the sides of the tidal creek, I guess he figured that nobody would see this act (yes I made the comment of "Oh is'nt this just charming" as I went by), it was pretty cool to get the boat in AND OUT, of a very tight spot, it almost even turned around under power but, the prop got hung up in the high grass at low rpm (when I tried a 3 pt turn), and stalled the motor, It unraveled quickly, and I was back on my way out, no problem, these boats are great in tight spots, as far as jumping a log with them, I would'nt do it. I think back at cars and other things that I destroyed on my father, now it's coming back my way with "Jr." ! It's time to pay the "PIPER" I guess !
....Tisk, Tisk, Tisk.
