BROKEN BOW /KACHINA GOING DOWN

[Hammer 1]

Thanks to all that helped out when Kachina almost sunk. I thank God for all your help and making the rest of the weekend a great time, while she sat on the trailer on time out. The pump is pulled and at Dr. EO'S speed. He said she will make a full recovery, and will perform better than ever..Thanks again The King's        jump.gif

Marathon tow.. Maria said it was the best boat ride she ever had. We put the umbrella up, put on some tunes and did a couple of tequila shots on the ride to the ramp. What do you think it was, about three miles maybe?

I would say closer to six miles bro.....that was one long haul!

All bad luck aside, we turned the bad deal into a beach party / recovery party.

What did you guys use to keep it afloat and secure to the boat ? I see what look like tubes or something ?
I alway worry about my boat going down and how I would get it back to the ramp .

We had two truck tire tubes that were tied to each other and also tied onto the bow eye.....could only tow at idle speed

 

[73 Sanger Flat]

That is kind of what I thought it was .. Thanks for explanning .. I was wondering how they kept it under the boat ..

 

[Crusader]

Ya..... we didn't want the tubes to fly off in the middle of the lake....

There was a third tube under the keel also. All three were tied together.
