[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 208904, member: 1776"] I've had to use the paddles once. My dad's boat broke down about a mile from the launch. We were at the coastline and we were downwind of the launch. He had two paddles - canoe style and we went to work. It took us a LONG time to get his aluminum 90hp boat back to the launch (I'm thinking 1.5 hours?) There were times I thought about getting out and walking it back. That being said, I keep 2 stored in my boat at all times (3 if I have that many in the boat who can paddle) - If I have one motor only, I go fishing upwind so I'll have some help just in case. It is normal for me to pull a paddle out at the first fishing stop. I use it primarily to get lures unstuck but also to push off of shallow ground. :D [/QUOTE]
