Yea I hit it wide open. I had been through that same patch of grass just two weeks ago. Water was just a few inches higher though. I agree if you go slow you can tell when you're about to get stuck and can usually avoid the situation.

Doesn't matter though because according to Rex my 20ft 1400lb all metal boat wasn't "truly" stuck.

Mines a 2012 17x50 and when I leave AL I'm going to ask 15k for it and take 14k. You're off the market of what these boats are worth in good shape.

That's why his boat sat for sale for 6 months and he kept having to drop the price.... So yeah it ls totally worth 13 grand. He dropped to 11 before it sold I bet he got 10-10.5 for it.

No fun being stuck in the marsh Olly, and glad you were able to get free :thumbsup: My expected out of town company showed up right after you called. We were on I-10, headed your way with his bass boat (figured the bigger motor would be a plus for pulling), hip boots and push poles, when we got your second call to let us know you got off.
