Crunch

This is the last thing I wanted to do on a cold February day.  Seeing the little boat smashed with a mountains worth of snow on top was a downer but with so much in front of me, it was "get to it" time.






The little white tent was no match for 14" of heavy wet snow (probably caved at 6").  Smashed the windshield and chipped the paint in a small spot (the bent frame hit there).  Aside from a good thousand pounds resting on it, it came out unscathed.  Amazing, really.  I have a new (used) top frame coming and I'll check the best place to get a new windshield.  Its worth it for this boat.  I keep looking at it to see what else is hurt but can't find anything!  The picture was taken well after I removed most of the snow sitting on the boat.  It looked totally smashed when I came upon it.  It's not stored where I live, so it's sometimes hard to watch the snow buildup.  Live and learn (but I probably won't).
