Metal prop guard for 25 hp outboard on WWALS jon boat, Now for rain….

Donation and canoe: thanks, Mark Wisenbaker
Mark and his grandson Parker Jones helped load and secure the canoe, and then posed with it and the WWALS and Suwannee Riverkeeper banners.
I gave Mark a Suwannee Riverkeeper hat, which you can see he’s wearing, a Suwannee River Bass t-shirt, and a thank-you letter written by WWALS E.D. Gretchen Quarterman.
We’re going to have to build a bigger boat rack.
