[Island Life]

This is my favorite trailering story. I may not have all the facts right, so forgive.

Family goes out in their brand-new boat for the day. They leave the dock and motor at headway speed for a while. Then the guy hits the throttle and there's a lot of noise and strain but the boat doesn't pick up much speed. He does this repeatedly and finally heads back into the dock. Next, he walks to the nearby marina for help. Someone from the marina goes under the boat with snorkel and mask and comes back up choking - with laughter. The guy never took the boat off the trailer.
