W saves Chicken
 

W, Chris R and Josh came to our rescue today. While fishing with my family my Verdao lower unit decided to go out for no apparent reason. I was running 40 mph and it just stopped suddenly. Welcome to the Verado family I suppose, only 35 hours on the motor.

These three guys saved the day and ruined their own day of fishing. I am very grateful to say the least. It was an exciting four hour ride back to the camp.

It turns out W had enough Freeboard to pull me in and a Haynie pulled a Haynie today.

W even reached 6 foot tall in one photo.

I saw Josh was going g on a rescue mission.......we all thought W had run out of gas again!!??

Sorry to hear about your motor......guess it can happen at any time?

Oh what a day that must have been!!! That's a long ride chicken. Good thing for people like Jeremy. To stop catching fish to go help a friend. I think the house "Chicken" should give him 100 salty bucks!!!

Damn Casey now I no you thinking about getting that yammie 300.

Way to go W!

Good job!! Its always easier to kick em when they're already down........hit em again!!

The Whole 4 and half hour tow.....We just messed with Micah on Text .....

No Prob Casey...Never know when I will need a tug in.............

Damn hate to hear the bad news on tha motor good thing you got good people out there willing to help!

Sorry to hear that man! Mercury has a recall on the verado lower units,it will be changed no questions asked.

X 2...

And you want me to go fishin' in that piece o' crap??? :eek:

Good job, W. :cheers:

I know Chicken feels much better knowin' that. :rolleyes:

I've seen pictures of people's lower units with holes big enough to put a golf ball thru all on 225 mercs. I know 2 people with the optimax that have had to replace there lower units.

No need to beat around the bush. :p

4 hours yall must of been offshore?

Not picking on the man. He stated from the beginning that he wanted that yammie but got a real good deal on the merc. Then he said the other day that his motor sucks the hell out of fuel, he also mentioned that he would be getting yammie next year. Not trying to kick the boss while he's down.

He was like 14 miles offshore:eek:

The "secret" is out.

Especially in them 3-4 footers. :rolleyes:

Damn...

O crap.... Well it would of been shorter to pull him to Sabine Jetties and drive down to pick the boat up...I thought about it...just don't know much about Sabine

:eek:LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Only Salty!!!!!!!

Couldn't have said it better D. That's what GOOD PEOPLE do!

Glad for ya'll that everyone is back in safe.

Anyone else notice W is standing on the bench to see?
Teasing. Thats what I like about us, we'll help each other out in a bind no matter what.

If everyone got in the towing boat, picked up the motor on the towed boat, hooked the tow line to where the trailer winch hooks, you can haul butt.

We had all of those factors except the most important one which was the people in the towing boat. Good note for next time although I hope there is not a next time.

x2, that would have helped when me W and Josh ran out of gas 8 miles from ellenders...

was the haynie playing tug boat at Academy this afternoon around 6 pm?

Does not matter, unless you have a HINEY it will not handle the offshore waters (FREEBOARD); in turn, most of us own those other boats!:cool:

btw, good job W....

good job guys. always nice to know their are good people on the water willing to help you when your in a bind

sorry to hear bout your motor Casey Its good to have friends that are good people Way to go Jeremy

Yep

good job W

Good jobs guys

I got pulled in by W once...

I would have helped............but I was too busy fishing "other" people's birds and running between them and the bank and between the fisher and the fish.

It's an important job on Big Lake........someone has to do it.

LOL

Great Job guys.........can't tell you how many people we've pulled in over the years!

Very nice W
