thank you to the 2 guys who helped me at Settlers

Glad to hear she is ok. Like the others have said, don't get rid of your boat. Learn from the accident and enjoy your boat. My wife started going with me sometimes and I watch her close because she is not experienced with boats and being on a lake. Good luck!

Thanks,the wife is healing,had a head laceration and mild concussion.She's off work for a week and I took off Monday to take care of her and to take her to doctor for followup. She's a little gun shy about the boat but she loves fishing in the boat. I'll continue to coax her about either operating the boat or trailering. It could had been me instead of her. She loves bluegilling with hook and bobber so I put all my bassin gear up for a while. No one said the learning experience was easy.

Do you have any idea how she slipped. Was is algae at the bottom of the ramp? Something else?

[ronsm]

Yes there was a lot of algae on the ramp. Several people came up afterwards saying the ramp has been slick. Between that and holding the bowline on the boat she slipped from that.
