And it was my bad driving that did it! Actually heres what happend. Our neighbors dock sticks out much further than ours, and as i went by i just bumped their dock while turning and it barrel rolled! I expected the hull to be banged up and damaged but much to my surprise it's completly fine, not even a scratch!! It did however bend and tweek the port side turn fin a little bit. Problem is, i can't get one of the screws out to take the fin off, it turned out half way and now won't come out any further, but it's still really tight! I'm gonna try vise grips, turn and pull and see if i can get it out. I wanted to upgrade to better turn fins anyways, guess now is a good time! The boat did fill completly with water, went nose up, i dumped it out and took the reciever cover off just to make sure it didn't take on any water. There were a few drops in the reciever case, but i don't think enough to hurt it, i will range check and probably send the boat out with not so fresh batt's just to make sure. Anybody have radio issues after a sinking?? Also, i took the whole pod out of the boat just to dry everything out, but now i'm having trouble gettin it back in correctly. I've had it out before with out problems, but now it doesn't want to seat in all the way at the motor end. I can't seem to figure it out, it won't go back any further towards the transom. But, all in all, I am glad the so called "cheap junk plastic hull" held up, i really love this boat and have had a blast with it on the lake!
