A true blonde story
A true blonde story...( I have nothing against blondes as i'm one myself)
Last July, 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 22ft. Bayliner to perform properly. It wouldn't get on a plane at all and was sluggish in every maneuver, no matter how much power she gave it.
After about an hour of trying to make it go, she limped over to a nearby marina. Maybe they could tell her what was wrong?
A thorough topside check revealed all was in good working order. The engine was running fine, the prop was the correct size and pitch.
So, one of the guys working at the Marina jumped into the water to check underneath the boat. He soon surfaced, choking on the water as he was laughing so hard.
Wait...
REMEMBER, this is true...
Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer.
