[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 418103, member: 12925"] The rock is solid and about the size of a Smart car. When I seen it ripple in the water i knew there was no way to avoid hitting it. I knew a hit in the side would probably throw us into the rock ledge or throw us out of the boat. I threw the wheel hard left and hit the throttle which will spin a 180. That raised the right side out of the water and dropped the left side, so it hit under the hull instead of the side and slide across the rock. The shoe hit the rock on the side and broke a good size chunk out if it, cocked the motor sideways, busted the trim unit, broke the engine mount bracket, the swivel tube, and several other parts. The dents on the hull are deemed not repairable due to their location, still doesn't leak. [/QUOTE]
