[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 232287, member: 4592"] I came very close one time. I beached just up river from this large tree going over the river. I barely made it under it coming up river. Me and 2 of my buddies were fishing the rapids and weren't having any luck so we decided to go to a new spot. Pushed off and I could not get the boat started and we drifted right under the tree. The motor stuck under the tree and kicked the boat sideways in about 3' of water that was really moving. The upstream side of the boat went under water and water just poured in so fast. I grabbed my buddy that was standing on the upstream side of the boat and threw him to the down stream side in order to lift the edge out of the water. He almost went in and was pissed but he was just frozen and not doing anything to help the cause. He's one of those, not my boat not my problem type of people. I have a 500 GPH bilge and it pumped for 45 minutes before the boat was empty of water. Lesson learned here - beach the boat far enough up stream from rapids so if something goes wrong you have time to prepare for something or beach the boat below the rapids and walk up stream to fish.
