There was a news item some time ago about a lady who put a very nice boat in the water, then sought help because engine and controls were extremely sluggish. A diver went in to have a look, and found the fully-submerged trailer still secured to the hull!

I once put mine in forgetting about the drain plug. Fortunately, I could still pull it out 1/3 full after frantically getting the vehicle and trailer back to the ramp. Also fortunately, no one else (except my amused friends) was around and I still got out after draining it. Not so fortunate for the fishies. Not drunk. Just a low I-quotient.

<<Could be the guy was drunk.>> Didn't seem to be. New boat, might have been his first. Last year I watched a couple around 30 with more money than sense. They launched a nice new boat that had to set them back $60k+. Then he swam out and got aboard. He couldn't steer it well enough to dock it. Wasn't as bad as the guys with an IO that launched 10' short of the water. Lost the skeg and 2 blades. Left an oil slick as they idled out to go sking. I would have paid to see it when they cranked that puppy up.
