The #s are not missing it is a documented vessel which requires you to have the name on the side instead of #s. _________________ Capt. Shane

I don't know, but I think that is an engine mount coming thru the hull. It is in front of the dripless, and the bellhousing of the transmission. It also looks like a rubber mount. The hull looks very thin there. I know of a 61 Davis sportfish that hit a hard sand bar on plain and drove the engine mount & strut thru the deck. Usually the shaft pulls out from the tranny connection. The Davis was fairly new and the hull was over 2" thick at that point. Good thing (for the captain) the owner was driving at the time. They say they hit a kedge, Robbs marina said they hit a hard bar.

maybe a steal anchore line? caught in the prop, if at speed maybe , the guys are right alot of rear pull there hard to think something was hit unless he was going fast enough to go completely over it and then get caught on shaft.
