[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 331777, member: 4469"] Hit about a 12ft branch that was just under the water. It turned my tiller motor all the way in one direction and slowed us down real fast, I was at full speed (not fast with my motor but on plane), threw my buddy off the seat and on the floor. I was jolted off the seat forward and we took on about 10 gallons. No damage done to crew or boat though. Did not hit this but found a full size power pole floating in Lake Michigan about 2 miles off Chicago, tied onto it and brought it into shore at the launch ramp. Park district person yelling at me for doing it, we pulled it into the parking lot with my truck. Also about 120ft of some kind of large coax type cable (about 2 inches in diameter) on Lake Erie. Just did the "security" call on it, too large, gave the coast guard the EQL and let them pursue it. Did not want to get hollered at again. Tim [/QUOTE]
