[QUOTE="RadarJet, post: 331864, member: 8862"] I've had a 2 foot diameter log stump come drifting down the river and smack the side of the boat and jet foot while anchored. Not fun to get nearly swamped when it catches on the foot and drags the side of the boat down. No dents though. A few years ago I was using my canoe and trolling motor to get a half mile from the launch ramp to a hunting spot in the dead of winter. I should have turned around when I had to break ice off the ramp just to get to the water, but I pushed on anyway thinking the ice slush out on the river was a coating. About half way across I realize the ice slush is really solid 1-3' thick icebergs that had broken free from upstream and I was caught in the middle of several hundred. Ended up making a wrong move and solidly beached the boat on top of one. Ice is interesting as it will dip underwater and let you glide partially over it. Had to nearly get out to push off. Counted my blessings when I made it back at dusk- safetly and with a nice doe! [/QUOTE]
