Texas Fishing Forum - boat wrecked and out of commission.

Last week my last trip I too was a disaster. I had problems in my control with throttling up or down but went out any way. I ended up breaking down and boat would only go about 5- 10mph so I had to creep in about 12 miles. I stoppedtook the controls apart to get the speed to get on plan and get in because of a little plastic broken piece that binds the inner controls together. AS I was work I work the throttle looking up trying to watch were I was going and at the same time keep boat moving well I ended up running straight into the bank into the river sendinf the front at least 10 ' in the air and the rear end of course went under and filled my boat with water not to mention I was down holding piece in place to get in and when i hit I rammed mt head into the console doing so damageing my head and I hit the tilt and trim button so motor come out of the Wat and the switch is broke. First hing I did was get up gain composer and get motor off and try to get tilt and trim to stop from being stuck in the in position. I got it. I got it on the ban of the river and I bailled out the water and use trolling motor to make it in till my buddy showed up and pulled me in. My boat is a mess and right here T Christmas I am going to have to do things slow. Than go i didn't flip whee I filled with water. You put you heart and soul into your boat building it setting it the way you want it and now starts a rebuild. I post a pic there is still mud all in the bottom maybe 2-6" of it. I have some parts and trolling motors I have a brand new never used trolling motor to trade for help to get me on the water. I have few other things guns 40 cal my boat means the world to me and need some expert opinions.Even if you Can just come and take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong or right I have gas money and a trip anyway I have no boat I may consider tradinf=g this 20'Haynie for somethin-else
