Thread: How not to treat a classic

What he said ^ weed rake, sign and a chainsaw. The one into peorua is pretty hard out. Too overgrown with willows near the entrance to the lake last time so we didn't make it in there.Lots of logs and shallow spots, be prepared to do a lot of pushing and ducking!

Haha nice vid!!

We hit a railway iron in the Oreti a few years back in the 152. Came up beside the motor and tore a 2 foot hole clean through the hull. The only way we could keep it from taking on water was to full noise it back to the trailer, it was a pretty full on trip

In a way these posts make me feel so much better about my incident....... To know im not the only one to do it.. and shit happens and maybe just maybe.... Im not a total fukn idiot

My hole was only fist sized... but the impact broke the engine mounts and the engine popped out of its mounts... so full noising it was a non option lol
