This year just isn't working

I just get my mental head game back, and I've now spent $700 on boat repairs. $400 for an ignition problem and just under $300 for a prop after taking it out for a test run on a different lake and finding a ridge. I just hope the shaft isn't bent (I took a good inch of prop off but didn't have a super hard jolt on the boat). Guess I'll find out tomorrow, might be hella expensive yet.

So far behind my boat I've done 5 hours of scrubbing, and 2 hours of trying to get it to go. I'm feeling that if things tomorrow are bad (bent shaft, still ignition based problems) that I might throw in the towel (probably won't but that's how I feel).

Makes being a boat mooch pretty appealing sometimes I know.

Well so far it doesn't look like I bent the shaft, that was good news. Still some problems to talk to the mechanic about but nothing too bad.
