Tin Can

last week my friend told me that he wanted to put my 15 hp engine  on his small aluminum boat that weighs about 50 pounds, I couldn't say no because it sounded like a fun idea. as we got of school on Friday we went straight to his house to get the boat but we didn't have a trailer so we put it in the back of the truck and tied in down. when we got to my house we picked the boat up and threw it in the canal,put my engine on and she was ready to go. It wind was blowing at 20knots and we knew it was to rough to go out in this small little boat but we still did it, we stayed in the mangrove for as long as we could but once we made it across the point it was rough as hell, even with all three of us on this small little boat it was jumping out of the water. when we finally made it to rum point the boat was full of water so we pulled it up on the shallow to drain it. It was about 4:30 and my dad said not to be out much longer so we decided to go fishing for a little while, we didn't know how bad it was outside the reef until we got out there the back of the boat kept going under the water so we put more weight up front but all that did was make the front go under. when we saw the boat wasn't holding up to well in the rough water we turned back in and went full throttle home.
