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...
