I didn't hit anything running that slow or yank the wheel and turned violently. Much easier to do that you might think.A log or rocks could have done it as well. Otherwise you really have to yank the steering wheel to get it to turn violently going that slow. Is that version of Ranger a very shallow hull though?

haha no doubt. I often wondered about those auto inflates. i think there good in a slow boat were if your sinking you can manual inflate. But when your in a boat that can turf ya at speed and you are knocked out I would rather know its always in float mode and cant fail. the less you have to rely on working in an emergency the better.:beer:Seems like he really doesn't have a clue what happened. First, he said the boat kept going in circles after they came out, but then he said he was briefly knocked unconscious and woke up curled in a ball at the bottom of the lake. And the life jacket didn't inflate...doesn't make a good argument for those "auto-inflate" jackets no either.
Agreed. Fishy story. There is no way he bat turned, got hit by the skeg/prop, kill switch didn't work right, and his life jacket didn't inflate. I bet he caught a 6' 900lb large mouth as well.Seems like he really doesn't have a clue what happened.
