Looks like she sits a little low in the water

Another well used one

Hey a Temptation, why is she here?

Like the last one nice job on the prop he's missing the bottom engine skeg also. The one whaler had to get full of water, can not believe in was sitting that low in the water...Thanks for the pictures

My buddies Montauk after 3 months at the dock. He was wondering why the paddle wheel speed and the depth finder were not working as well as they had.

My boat grows barnacles, his grows weeds. Mine goes dry with the tide, his stays wet. John

To clarify, the Temptation has the damaged lower unit. John

That kind of neglect should be an indictable offense.

That lower unit damage on the Temptation is pretty gnarly.

If I had to wager, I'd say that skeg broke off due to striking dry pavement

Lot's of rock/reefs up here in spots where it looks like wide open water. This looks like a classic at speed rock hit to me. If it was just the skeg, I would back the trailer accident, but gouges on the housing and all blades of the prop say rock hit at speed. John
