    I was BBQing under it 5 minutes before. We just sat down to dinner and KABOOM! I would have been pretty fucked.

    Well... beacon practice?

    Just kidding. That's a bummer man. Thankfully my dad stores his Clackacraft in a steel building in the winter (in Riverton, Wyo.) Glad you weren't standing under there.

    well now you can buy one without a worthless steering wheel... Throw a 40 hp jet on one of those suckers and it'll RIP and draw half an inch of water on step...
    Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care

    Why no steering wheel? I agree on the 40hp jet. We run rivers and a few inches of clearance would be nice.
