[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 224490, member: 6937"] True. River boulders are a LOT less forgiving than an oyster bed, a sandbar, or a mudflat. I've never had the experience of hitting a boulder in a river, our rivers here are in the lowcountry, we don't have any kind of rapids, etc. I've certainly hit my share of oyster beds, usually with a lower unit on an outboard, though, very seldom do I screw up bad enough to ground a jetboat on one. Over time, dragging an aluminum hull over oyster beds can wear it out, as well. [/QUOTE]
