    Why does this thread reminds me of the guy who bought a new boat, launched it and soon pulled up to the dealer's dock and complained about the horrible performance. One of the repair guys checked over the motor and couldn't find anything wrong so he dove over the side to check the prop and came up sputtering and laughing so hard he darn near drowned. The poor performance was because the boat was still attached TO THE TRAILER!

            This yokel had to be pulling the boat trailer attached to the truck probably with NO brake kit running to the trailer. That coupled with a crappy ball lock. That is just plain stupid. First cop that saw that should have pulled the idiot over. Fortunately the boat is now on the perfect angle for a quick boat launch.

                As I recall that one it was stopped at a restaurant with a passed out passenger and and a drunk driver ready to cut the twine to unload. Also, in addition to the lumber on top the trunk and back seat were loaded with another ton of concrete mix.
                Sometimes the old man passed out and left the am radio on so I got to hear the oldie songs and current event kind of things
