Love Boat Funny Boating Accidents
I grew up in a fishing town as a son of a Commercial Fisherman.
Although I didn't take up fishing as a profession, I spent lots of hours in a boat while growing up.
I have owned a few boats in the past. I had a 16 feet Fiberglass boat with an outboard on it for a while and later I had a 25 feet inboard for a while.
How much can you afford to spend on a Boat?
Ownership and maintenance of a vessel can be very expensive. If this is your first purchase or major upgrade from a small boat you will want to ensure your spend is within your financial means. You also need to factor in the costs that you will need to part with each month /year to keep your vessel in excellent condition due to environmental and mechanical wear and tear such as: the corrosive effects of sea water, damages from sunlight, ice and snow, rain and rough sea / lake conditions. Taking excellent care of your vessel will ensure your enjoyment is maximised and will make for reliable sailing. This will also help retain the resale value of your investment, like other yachts for sale that have been well cared for.
Well, I spent the next couple of weeks going over all of the parts of the boat making sure they all were in good shape and making sure everything worked.
I planned a weekend boat trip with my wife, my daughter and my granddaughter. I checked the life jackets. I filled up the tanks with fresh gas and added the two cycle oil correctly.
When we got to the boat ramp, I installed the plugs in all of the drain holes. Most outboards have these drain holes so you can easily clean out the boat hull when the boat is out of the water.
I noticed that there was one plug "extra" but I couldn't find another drain hole so we launched. We got on board and I fired up the engine. We backed out into the canal and I idled out past the no wake zone.
I then punched it to get the boat on top of the water to plane. But, the boat was acting sluggish and the stern was not getting on top but was actually acting heavy. I slowed down the engine and walked around the inside of the boat.
Suddenly I realized we were sinking and made a beeline back to the ramp. After I got the boat back out of the water, I saw that there was another drain hole in the bottom near the middle of the boat! It was hard to miss now as the water was pouring out of this hole.
After the water drained out of the boat, I placed the "extra" plug into the drain hole and we left for a fine day on the water.
One rule to remember in boating is to check and check again
