If you are in the need of a new 27 pitch Mirage, I left one for you near the no wake buoys going out of Little River. The only problem is you will need a new hub for it. Evidently a prop can slide off the hub while you are under way. Let me tell you, it is a pretty cool trick...haha...When I got to the ramp the prop nut was a bit rounded off, and the hub was still attached to the prop shaft. Just no prop.
I'm hoping when the lake drops another 4 or so feet, I can walk out there and find it.

Wow, that's a first. Did it have the glued in hub (old fashion) or the new composite insert type hub?

It was the older style pressed in hub. I even talked with a mechanic at Bay and he hadn't heard of it ever happening either. One thing people who know me will tell you is, if it is almost unbelievable, it will probably happen to me. Steve Williams has quite a few stories about some trips we have taken. I just chock it up to another funny story.
Plus, why go fishing when you can go on an adventure. That's why I usually never have more than a quarter tank of gas and just enough oil to cover the bottom of the oil tank. Haha

Steve William net is a JINX get out of you boat and don't touch it. Stay away from it it will bring you bad luck. Steve needs to burn that net.

I saw a prop setting on in about 4 ft. of water at Blockhouse Ramp yesterday. It look like it was a small prop maybe you can get it to work.

That's why I am also sure to have my net in the boat. No need for him to even think about bringing his...haha
