Man he got that thing into some skinny water. Would love to see the bottom of that boat after the number of times he grounded it on rocks. That must be some thick metal!

Hmmmm. Left or Right? Left.....no right....definitely left! Scrape...scrape...thud. Yeah....it was right. Man, talk about a gamble every 5 seconds. After watching that, the sad part is I was proud of myself for making it down the Cooper River.

He'd better not have to sneeze while doing that....One little twitch of the wheel and he's on the rocks...Literally!

Not sure if they use something similar there, but years ago I took a charter boat up a river in Alaska to go hiking around a glacier. That captain was putting us through some shallow water as well. I looked at the bottom and it was rigged with some sort of slick plastic polymer sheet about 1/2 - 1" thick. Less drag and it appeared to be replaceable. Pretty neat.
