I forgot to mention that we Berrrrrrly got back in last night as well. After only 3 hours my Duara-last batteries were toast. I was just able to get back to the dock. While i was backing the trailer down to load, Snuffy was not able to get the big motor running to run the boat up on the trailer. We could not get the gas line bulb to pump up. It was soft and stayed that way. The troller would not even turn the boat. So Bill, & snuffy had to use the push pole and paddle to get over to the trailer. You see the fun part is right at the boat dock is the dam, we had to cross the lake right across in front of it. The idea of being sucked over it was just not appealing to any of us. Although Bill did try and fall out of the boat a few times in the course of the night.
