Thanks to my boy @hpsfishing for keeping my spirits high and head on straight in this one. At the end of the day, it’s part of the game.

I think the cost of the lower unit repair should be factored in, it represents a dollar amount that is absolutely feasible for anyone trying to do tournament events and trails in new boats but especially in used boats
I know I'm late to this but are sure you didn't spin your prop nut
What’s the soft plastic you’re using? Looks awesome
lol i feel the pain, had one optimax blow and a second sling eclip on clutch dog. both motors one season bfl and bulldog tourny yrs ago..
JON BOAT TOURNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mercury Engines seem to have that problem with their lower units. Sorry that happened to you also!
It seems like this is a consistent problem with the Merc Optimax motors.
Ouch!!! That hurts all the way around! Like you, I do feel if able to travel – could've moved up in the finishing standings …… but really can't go down that road like ya said. It's still fishing and it's still content; it's real life tbh! Let's Gooooooo Be Safe
I know it sucks, but better the lower unit fail versus the infamous Opti-pop. Hope you get back out there and start killing it again soon!
Good luck 🤞😅
Include it in the costs because you can't fish without it. At least the yearly total.
I feel your pain…. Mine did the same last fall. Swapping it out in my driveway next week.
Damn this happened to me 2 years ago. Almost threw me out of the boat running 58 mph! My lower unit grenades. Call SEI they saved me
You know what they say about boats. (B)reak (O)ut (A)nother (T)housand.
Glad that lower unit went out close but it was a great effort 👍
She will be good as new soon!!!
I just watched your glide bait vid from last fall. I was wondering if you have any luck during summer time when they’re deeper with the glides? Before I buy
i understand your pain … my motor blew up on my way to the first spot tuesday ….
You need to smoke a quarter pound after that tournament 😂😂😂😂
Man thats brutal. I'm liking the video for ya 👍
That was gut wrenching but you still made a decent tournament out of it
Not as large a scale but I just sheared my 25Hp motor’s steering assembly off completely trying to back the boat in today took it off and went to try and fish with just the trolling motor and sheared the shear pin lmao
Mannn thats a tough one… Still made the best of it though!!! Hope it doesn't cost as much as we're both feeling 🎣 B.O.A.T
