Picked my boat up at Winnisquam Marine yesterday and headed home in a brisk wind. It was a beautiful sunny day and the boat was running nicely.....until I took out the lower unit on a submerged rock at 40MPH.
Don't know if the rock grew over the winter or the navigation marker moved but I was about 30' outside of the marker.
We were able to paddle and pole to an empty dock and secure the boat but it wasn't looking too pretty. No damage to the boat, though.
Guess I'll find out how good my BoatUS coverage is.
By the way, I did take a picture shortly after it happened and it clearly shows the trail of my prop wash well outside of the marker although I don't know if it makes a difference for an insurance claim.
