Blonde Story
Last summer, down on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour
east of Bakersfield, California, a blonde (of course!!), new to boating
was having a problem. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't
get her 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 she applied.
After about an hour of trying to make it go, she putted over to a nearby
marina. Maybe they could tell her what was wrong. A thorough topside
check revealed everything was in perfect working order. 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.
Under the boat, still strapped securely in place was the trailer.
