T&T: Rope Cutters

[Darrell Abed]

I know the conventional wisdom is that single engine boats, with the prop
protected behind the keel, are less likely than a twin to snag a pot.  But
what is the real world experience of the list members?  Cruising the
Chesapeake I live in near constant fear of snagging a pot. They're everywhere!
I especially like the ones with the black floats that you can't see until
you're almost on top of them.

Thanks,Darrell
