shit got real at bartlett this weekend. Running down the lake floored{we used the boat friday afternoon no problems} boat cuts out, i look back the fockin engine is on fire!:eek The fuel line came off the carb.Now it gets real,grab the extinguisher pull the pin,hit the button and thing works for 2 seconds and stops.wtf? It's 2 years old.
here comes a couple and there kids on there new rollbar boat...by now im going crazy,wigging out.Yelling help,help get me a fire extinguisher they pull up with one as big as a beer can....ok really,my buddy jumps off and is yelling for me to get off.Took me a few seconds to think then jumped in the water...i did not have a shirt on(so that would work) Im thinking my fockin boats goona burn right here next to me and sink So i just start splashing water about 2 gallons i threw on that bitch and it went out.I am so lucky guys,please go check your extinguisher it's no joke.Not to mention 460 (Tyro)on the other side of the lake boat almost caught on fire too:yikes
Honestly i been boating my whole life and never had an experience like this,it scared me.Still not sure what i want to do..for now my summer boating is done.I am going to put a cover on the boat and forget about it for a while.
