If they had said yes, he would have spent the night with the boat.

Your right TC.

They just rolled their eyes. They know me pretty well.

I do have the number it is 850-584-6727.

Coming from Perry it is on the road to Spring Warrior just past the airport on the right.

The sign is old and faded but there is a shop next to the house.

Prices are great service is good I have had work done three or more times there.

I have also heard great things about Ecofina and Aucilla I just don't go there because I have heard a lot of bad stuff about getting out of there.

The first few times I went to the Warrior I went with someone in my boat that new it well or waited at the dock till somebody else went and followed them etc..

I have crushed a lower unit there shreaded props there and punched holes in my boat on a couple occasions.

It is not a place to be going out of if you don't know it, launch at Keaton and run down or do the follow another boat thing.

The other option is to go in the Winter on low tide and wait for the water to come in a little go out and see the lay of the land.

I have gone on low water many times and have a pretty fair idea where the stuff is I still bump scrape and misjudge on occassion.

We were coming back in one time and misjudged the tide I had to get two guys out of my boat into the guides boat to make it through the mouth of the creek.

You live and learn and I have done most of my learning there. I have a buddy that takes me to Sauwanee he has a place there and has been going there twenty years.

He misjudged the tide a couple years ago and had to get out to push last year he busted his lower unit, it is just part of the deal.

The adjuster from Progressive Insurance dropped off a check today at Bainbridge Marine. The new lower unit and prop was ordered today. Kyle at Bainbridge Marine is telling me the parts should be in Thursday.

EZPZ. A big thanks to Progressive Insurance and Bainbridge Marine. They are making this a near painless experience.

Glad to hear that BD. Progressive marine insurance =

Until your premium goes up and they drop your policy after 6 months .....You being high risk and all

I won't mind the premium increase. It's dirt cheap already.

Ouch!! Glad to hear progressive came through....one question...did you have the jack plate up?

yep....jp plate up, but I was just trimming out the motor. I believe the problem occurred when I had to make a hard 90 degree turn to the left. That exposed the prop out to the left side.
