I forgot to put the plug in once in my original '73 V20. Man 3 of us must have been on the water for better than 20 minutes (or longer) before we noticed she was sitting a tad low. Opened the in-deck fish boxes and water was all the way to the top! The entire hull was full of water. I just reached over the tranny and screwed the plug in. It took longer to pump the water out....I can tell you that!
Just a little longer and I think we would have capsized. What's screwy is the '73 had two plugs in the rear. One in the usual place and another underneath. I only forgot one of em.

A while ago with my very first boat, and open 14' aluminum grumman I forgot the plug on my 2nd time out ever while at Leornardo ramp....of course all of the well wishers there up above you on the dock just waiting for it to happen were quick to let me know......so no harm done other than feeling like a complete douche bag......best thing that could have happened to me though as I can GUARANTEE you I will never do it again....I know strong words, but I am vigilant to not ever have that feeling again.

I know what you mean RW. I will never forget again. I like to think I've saved my buddy's arse a few times as well. When the boat is backing down the ramp (or before) I always ask, "is the plug in?"
