Must have been a sweet ride at one time. You can see the care that originally went into her. But looking at the transom rust stains, the overall condition of the trailer, the stern panels, etc. I'd say she looks like she was rode hard and put away wet. Some people should never be allowed to own a boat. Sorry to see your love in such a sad state.

She just about sank on her first trip after MJ sold her. The new owner neglected to put the plug in when she was launched after he sold her.

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!! Like I said, some people should never be allowed to own a boat.

(I refuse to talk about the time about 20 years ago that I put my first v20 in the water and I forgot to put the plug in. We were just sitting at the dock loading her with coolers etc when my father in law noticed that the deck was starting to get wet near the stern. Quickly towed her over to the shore and beached her to keep her from sinking. But like I said, it never happened...LOL)

Which leads me to a different question.. Be honest everyone...

Who has forgotten to put the plug in, what happened and how did you correct the mistake?

[macojoe]

I had that boat for 9 years! Been thur some nasty stuff!! I really put a ton of cash to get her all fixed up and convert to a OB.
It was not perfect but man it does look like crap now!!

Not yet! But it always worries me being old and forgetful. But I think I have a good "system". I keep the wrench and plug in one of the buckets that mount in the transom. I always take these out when I am done and will put the plug in before putting them back in the boat when getting ready.

and back to thread topic,

Ya, CB did win the "post it first". Pretty much the same comments too.
