Last summer, 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 boat going. 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 over to a nearby marina, thinking someone there could
tell them what was wrong. A thorough topside check revealed
everything in perfect working condition. The engine ran fine, the
out drive went up and down, and the propeller 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 he gagged and almost drowned.
This is true...
Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer.
