Damn
"I'm just a victim of a circumstance"
Holy shit
Dammit man!
Gracious!
The wife and I went to Exuma in April. About 3 weeks later we were watching our local news and they had a story about a Bahamian tour boat that exploded while riding in the ocean. We went on that adventure tour and it was a lotta fun. Pretty sure at least one died and some others had to lose limbs. I still don’t understand how that could happen.
I saw that this morning and about made me sick
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
I assume that somebody stuck the gas nozzle in a rod holder?
Ol boy in the boat got fugged up!
That should make the fellas watching the video want to change the battery in their smoke detector. I was beeping in case you didn't hear.

"I'm just a victim of a circumstance"
I know someone who pumped 15 gallons of gasoline into a rod holder at a Costco station. He only realized when the guy behind him in line told him his boat was leaking when the bilge pump kicked on.
It really wasn't a hard mistake to make, His gas port was right beside the rod holder and they look a bit similar if you're distracted.
I know another guy who smelled fumes in his bilge and when he lit his lighter to see into the bilge hatch, it blew the deck loose from the hull. He said as soon as it happened, he had a flashback to one of those Yosemite Sam cartoons of a guy striking a match in the black powder shed.
I saw a kid pump 1000 gallons of unleaded gasoline into his daddy's diesel sportfisherman. Not sure how that would have turned out had the office guy not been paying attention when he wrote up the bill...
One of the gunnel rod holders on my cobia is a few inches away from the gas port. When the boats on the trailer the top of the gunnel is 7-8ft up so unless you are in the boat you can’t really tell.
I ended up making a plug with a short rope attached and keep it in that rod holder unless it’s being used making it impossible to put the gas nozzle in the rod holder.
Not that I’m concerned i would make that mistake, isn’t more my friends topping me off after fishing or the kid at the gas dock making 7.75 an hour not paying attention
I was at a marina dock in Wrightsville Beach and a guy had pumped about 100 gallons in his bilge.
Everyone standing around with their heads leaned over staring at it discussing what to do. I told em to call
the coast guard and get far away in the meantime. Guy was about to get in the boat and unhook the battery and
I talked him put of it, cause I knew that battery terminal would spark when he took it off.

My dad dumped about 20 gallons in the pathfinder rod holder the other day...he’s getting old
