I hit a rock and didn't like it.

Another awesome day on the river....until the end.
At 2:51 on the left side is the rock going up river.
10:40 is right before I hit.

I wouldn't like that either, damaging the jet foot is one thing, damaging the hull is another. I run a river that's loaded with rocks in riffles, just a matter of time!
 
That hurts!! If it makes you feel any better I've done worse and my setup is still running the river. At current count I've put 3 holes in the hull and completely destroyed 1 jet foot. Total "hits" number is many, many times the hole count.
 
I really was impressed that the holes were not more severe. After repairing my boat I took a picture of the rock with the water lower. I TOOK a chip out of that **** rock! It was pointy and probably less than an inch under water at the time.
Unfortunately it was costly. Around $1,200! The weld shop cut the entire rear bench and removed the foam. May have spent too much, but I feel good knowing they did a good job.
