Bob White, Chris Dootsmart were crew and myself as Captain
The fishing was silly wide open on dorado - we were three miles outside of Newport Harbor
Bob White Hooked up!
Right Before we took those pictures - We Spun the Prop -
A spun prop is not a disaster, more of a nuisance and an expensive fix -
The story that follows occurs a week after the fishing trip:
Spun the prop on my boat last week -
Upgraded from three blade aluminum to four blade stainless
Decided to put the prop on in the water from the swim step - turned out to be a piece of cake except for:
The potential fight -
Boat is at the dock in Newport sunny warm narrow channel
Dad myself -
He pulled the old prop off ,
My job put the new one on.
Balancing the new prop , f*cker is fairly heavy and sharp , leaning over the swim step -
A dude in an inflatable blasts towards us throwing a huge wake
My old man erupts " A**hole slow your f*cking little piece of sh*t down" like most dads mine is a world class verbal warrior -
Old guy in inflatable " F*ck you I have engine problems I can't slow down"
Inflatable is parallel to us right now boat starts to rock
I figure whatever if I ever have to change a prop at sea it will not be smooth -
My old man jumps up on the rail of our boat looks like he is ready to jump in the guys zodiac.
My dad "C*cksucker I am going to shove that little f*cking motor straight up your a$$ get over here "
To myself I am going to have to bail my dad out and slap Mr. broken engine around. Classic
Guy Guns his motor blast faster away - he is gone
In the mean time I got the prop on, goes on easy
Grease gun leaked and got that blue grease everywhere
Pop mellows out
Neighbor is laughing
Good times
Shinny new four Blade Prop
Four Blade Prop Mounted
