If you watch Cboys tv, they live just a few miles away. They stud go carts, SXS, ATV's and bikes. Lots of shenanigans. We only get to do this stuff rarely, as by the time we get good ice to drive on, there is usually plenty of snow to go with it.

I was amazed at how powerful that cart was. In the first few seconds he wheelies it from a stop!! WOW. I'm having flashbacks of running the rivers in packs with my buddies in the mid 80's and discovering two very important things. Ice is thin around beaver dams, and ATV's back then, float, but float better upside down.

Come on people! Slow and steady wins this race. WTF? That's gonna leave a mark. Why does this keep happening?

Clearly the owner should have bought a boat with a prop instead of one of those poor handling jetboats.

Guess the guide poles didn't help
Think of the damage if he DIDN'T have them. Boat might have ended up like that guy in Texas who hit the post, right over the top. Those guide posts clearly saved someone's life!

I think the icing on the cake in that pic is that one lone sad little fender on the swim deck, enough line to keep it safely guarding the passenger side tire if they ever got the boat on the trailer. Makes me wonder who the heck left the other fender hanging high and dry 🤪 😆

Man, I shudder to think what the boat looks like underneath.

My guess is that once he realized he was on the wrong side of the guide, he gunned it in forward, thinking it was reverse!

I can see the ad now, "Slightly used AR250, with slight dock rash. 60K to pay off lien. Only reason to sell is to buy a bigger boat"
