Boat flipped over during Salmon Derby finally replaced

[troutbum]

Finally replaced the flipped over boat from the salmon derby. Went a bit bigger. Stuck with Legend -- but went from 16 feet to 19 feet -- and from 40hp up to 115 hp. A bit more appropriate sort of boat for what we use it for. Deeper hull. Got us some big electric riggers from Bill's Bait and Tackle in Hamilton, too.

 

Thanks again Iceguy. You made the capsizing and rescue less of a hassle than the insurance battle over the next month. If it weren't for you - my wife and magnum's wife might have been making different sorts of insurance claims!!

 

Two pics -- upside down one is the old. 2nd pic is new boat parked at William's Coffee in the harbour. Just thinking about that -- Coffee shop with docking for customers is pretty civilized, don't you think? Too bad it's not a Timmy's.

Glad this was an incident without a tragic ending, equipment can be replaced like you did with something even better.

how did the boat flip over like that?

Nice new ride! Glad to hear things have worked out. I remember the story...amazing how quickly things can change when out on the water.

Nice boat! Congratulations!

 

Now, the Timmies remark, Williams has a better brew of java, the problem is that so many are accustomed to Horton's flavour or the lack of flavour that other brands are viewed to be inferior.

 

Have you ever seen the line ups at that place in the summer? Wow! They must be making money.

 

BTW I may be wrong but I think Williams is owned by McDonalds.
