Now this is what this forum should be used for. great stories My first was a 15 ft red and white Glastron with a OB 55hp Johnson. We had it beached at Sebago lake in a small cove due to a storm. the next morning we came to retrieve it and started bailing and bailing to no avail. Upon investigating my Dad put the boat over a metal drain pipe(it was under the sand). that night we had the storm and a bolt of lightning must have traveled along this pipe and put a foot square hole in the bottom (true story). raised the floor a couple of inches too. This was back in the sixties. He bought another boat 17 Silverline with a 100 evinrude and named it Lets Try Again!!
