Yeah, I thought of that. The water was rising noticeably. It was a decision in crisis. Hop (wade) in and try to start it up. If it does start, back it up and then out into the harbor, then violate the 5 mph big time and piss people off. If it doesn't start, I've taken on that much more water, the boat is even heavier and deeper and harder to get on the trailer, if at all, without breaking something. I'd already wasted time trying to fumble the plug in in the deepest aft part under the inboard motor. Fug it. Get the trailer nowish. I felt real lucky getting out clean. The most important thing wasn't the boat. It was avoiding the visions popping into my head involving a recovery crew and a crowd mulling about oohing and aahing about the sunken boat by the ramp, muttering and laughing and pointing fingers toward me while saying something REAL FUNNY to their neighbor while a growing line of boaters line up waiting for the goddamn ramp thank you very much. I put in a sump pump after that. Hardly ever used it.
