July 15, 2011 - The Rock River, Oregon, IL

Well, we were off to the Rock River again. We did some more tubing and got some good pictures from the shore and the tube. Near the end of the day, the throttle cable broke in the control box, ending our fun. We were able to make it back to the launch using force and tools to run the throttle. On the way home, We spun a bearing on the trailer, causing us to leave the boat on a farm. A few days later, we picked it up on a flatbed and brought it home. The axle was in tough shape, so I swapped it with the old trailer that is now under our '76 GT-150.










Note the Broken Cable End
 What a Mess
This is NOT the Way a Boat Should Travel
