Doing some work in my home office today - it is super windy, winds over 50mph according to the radio.
I here a loud, bang and figure it is just the trash cans blowing around. Look out the window an i see a minnow trap rolling across the side yard -"hmmmm, where did that come from, those are stored in the boat?"
I take a look at the drive and, "hey, where is the boat?" Looked a little further and SOB, there it is.
Mind you this is not a small boat - 16" MirroCraft with a 25hp outboard and console. I cannot lift it by myself. I am gonna leave it until the wind dies down.
Lucky for me it appear to be a clean flip. no damage to the motor or lower unit at all. I think I have a few broken rod holder. Now i have a great excuse to re-build
