[spareparts]

funny you should say that Schools, several years ago, I was riding with a friend of mine in his boat test running a new prop, after a couple of speed runs, we were idling down a cove when the motor suddenly locked up(stuck a ring on a port, broke the top of the piston off). having nothing better to do, we started pulling the head off the engine while we waited for some one to come by for a tow. An aquantence came by on his jet ski and asked if we were OK, my buddy said were fine, just tinkering with the motor and waved him off. we had plenty of beer and it was early in the day, so what the hell, the guy on the ski was real good and proceded to put on quite a show while we just kicked back. A little later, another friend came by in his eliminator, my buddy said, it was OK to be towed by an eliminator, but not by a ski. Had we run out of beer, it might have been different.
