anyone want to own up to this one?
tried my best to rip it out....it's stuck into the stump too far...maybe if I pull it out I rule the adelaide River for all time......(sword in the stone)

I can't believe someone hit that stump that hard that fast in that tiny creek to rip a stainless prop right off the motor...I'm guessing it snapped the drive shaft off the gearbox the lock nut is still attached....it's pretty cramped up there and some tight turns...I wouldn't do it on the plane in my little tinny

That's a pearler

(from here anyway) but not for the poor bugger who left it behind

That is a seriously impressive effort!

Looks like a suzuki pitch prop? What creek was that in?

So you didnt get it off? Could sell it on ebay.. slightly used, only used on sunday, never abused...

Pity I already got one, that could fit my Honda...

up high on the right hand branch of beatrice creek...i couldn't budge it...tied it off and pulled it from all sides...but i've only got a 25...it's still there if you take a chainsaw up maybe

1 blade is in up to it's nuts...1 about 1/3 in

Classic pic it would have hit with a bang stopped pretty quick and then a snapped prop shaft.
Then the realisation that there was a long paddle home.
I wonder which way the tide was running?

That one is a pisser!

Find the guy and give him the full stop award!

I think I have found a way to find him. Call the hospital. That poor bastard probably has broken ribs or at least a good mould of his face implanted in the centre console.

There ya go if he had an ally prop theres a good chance he would have sheared off the blade/s...

Would be worth cutting off with a chainsaw and keeping for a fff prize ! Anyone want to go for a look see ?

That's one of the funniest fishing pictures I've seen. I reckon Club Marine would buy the picture.

Maybe King of the River Kai knows more?

I feel for the bloke who crashed. Hope it wasn't a husband and wife on their first fishing trip
