Exclamation ~Read it To Believe it ..... From the Newspaper!~

Ya wonder just who is towing in front of you.......
Summer's "Cummin"

Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high
desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, some folks,
new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard
they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft. Bayliner
to perform. It wouldn't get on a plane at all, and it was
very sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how much
power was applied. After about an hour of trying to make it
go, they putted to a nearby marine, thinking someone there
could tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check
revealed everything in perfect working condition. The engine
ran fine, the outdrive went up and down, the prop was the
correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in
the water to check underneath. He came up choking on water,
he was laughing so hard.
NOW REMEMBER THIS IS TRUE....Under the boat, still
strapped securely in place
, was the trailer.
