crazy fred Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Last summer, in poole harbour , located in mid dorset, an hour east of Weymouth, a blonde, 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 plane at high speed 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 Cobbs Quay 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, and the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one of the marina guys jumped in the water to check underneath the boat. He came up choking on fine Holes Bay water, he was laughing so hard. Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer.
