Along the Waterfront... "Double trouble"

[Ron J]

When going to the Docks in East Boston to board the Nantucket, I get to see many great sites, and a lot of different vessels.
This particular vessel, named Capt's Quarters isn't going to see water, anytime soon.... The port and starboard props, shafts and struts have some issues! The Dual rudders are bent and the keel is damaged. I do not know the story of what happened.
I admit, I have bent a prop or two over the years, but I have never, ever, seen props damaged like this! The Starboard prop, looks like it was stuck down a tapered pipe at high revolutions!! Personally, looking at the age of the boat and the damage, this one will be heading to a scrapper.

Yeah! Looks like he tried to take the shortcut over the breakwall at high tide and at full speed! I'll tell you, you see these guys around here on the river going 70mph in a 20' bassboat in thin water I'd be scared to paddle through. I am sure they have no idea the disasterous logs waiting to eat a prop that are hidden below the surface. Some people have been around boats and water their whole life, and have a pretty good respect for both, and then others grow up, get a little money, go out and buy a Stratos with a 250hp motor, with no idea how dangerous that speed can be. That pic is a reminder.
