I don't care what the others say...
You're all right

No need to get snippy. I'm just asking legitimate questions and since you didn't do anything a normal person would do under that situation and no one else that was shot did either, I'm simply pointing out that I believe you made the entire story up. You often seek attention on here. I believe this is just another instance.

So you have back issues and yet you were about to "Stomp" the other guy? While on a boat that you can't stand to run a trolling motor on because of your issues? Am I getting all of this right? You're one heck of a guy. Chuck Norris would be proud to know you. I'm glad your buddy was there to hold you back!

Drama doesn't seem to follow me and I'm very thankful...

How fast can a pontoon boat go full out...?

Well they have really change over the years . Most newer models have 300 and up to 450 horsepower motors. (google it) They're some that advertise mid to upper 70"s

Here’s the answer to “ how fast a pontoon will go “

I'd like to see some pictures of your boat, jbyrd.

Here’s me getting ready to leave !!
Lol




It’s 21ft 5 in long 96 in wide Built for old fat cripple guys Takes rough water great and rides like a car

Had a kid shooting airsoft at me and a buddy while we were working on a car. After I caught him and had a one sided conversation with him down the alley, an adult stepped out the door and that was the end of his airsoft at least while we were out. We called the police, they came and knocked on the door and no one answered so they left.

Dang nice boat!

Thx trap dog. It's a 2014 model but it sit in the garage for over a year unused 4 months after I got it. Crushing those vertebrae and spinal fusion stopped all fishing for a year. For those who ask "how I fish" Before the back problems I also participated in the Monday 7pm -12 pm) events. The Thursday night events listed on finsters proof night tournaments even existed. As well as the Saturday night events. Now I can fish 1 night a week and have to recoop from it.

Jbyrd has some credibility with me, except for financial advice. LOL The man can catch fish and shoot deer for sure. Based on the actions of the tourists I see all summer up here I can believe the described scenario. I would have handled the aftermath differently as I would get more satisfaction seeing the shooters arrested than I would have participating in a fishing tournament. Of course, it is doubtful that I would be in contention in a tournament.

would have pulled out my shorty AR, which goes where I do, and put 1 62 gr LAP through the engine block, and 1 through the lower unit, then went on about my business.

You might see some high horsepower pontoons, but it is a stretch to say "most" are 300 hp and up.

I can actually picture this scenario with a couple of kids shooting their airsoft gun at boaters happening. I use to live on the water that jbyrd63 is fishing and in the summer time it was absolute chaos. for some reason i doubt that things have settled down in the 25+ years that have passed since i lived there as last time i was visiting i saw even more non locals than ever recall prior. the local perception of the cause of the chaos has been pointed squarely at buckeyes which seemed to be considered a step below yankees. but back then i would more expect the air soft shooting buckeyes to be found bobbing in the water by their sunken boat the next morning somewhere around bugwood

Here you go Weigh in last year I hadn’t removed my hotter than hades but necessary back support. If you look at the brand it retails got around 1000 dollars but my insurance covered based on my condition Thanks again for asking my technique for being able to participate in outdoor activities

Jt quote the entire post MOST newer models But I guess you know since you spend sooo much time on the lake I grew up on ! Thanks for setting me straight

Just one last comment I want to thank those that let me know this incident was entirely my fault. I apologize for not instantly grabbing my phone and snapping pics and tying a rope to his boat so he couldnt disappear into the mass of boats everywhere on the 65,000 acres plus I was fishing I’m dory I didn’t board his boat so was open for legal action for trespassing
Last I want to say I’m sorry for being in his line of fire If I had stay home he wouldn’t have been tempted to send a volley at us
There that how you guys raise your kids ? Bet it was your buddy and his kids I’m talking about

Yes and you would have gone to jail and paid a bigger fine than the idiots Illegal to have a solid projectile (rifle) on the water unless cases and hunting season is in .
