Had a marina friend of mine call about a boat that sunk. I spoke to the nice lady that kept telling me how nice a boat it is. All I can think of is it just sunk. She bought it while floating in a slip. Had her friends tune it up and all. It had not been pulled in at least 5 years according to the marina.
She asked me, How did it sink, I don't understand how does a boat sink?

07-06-2018 10:17 AMOne of my favorites I here from people that just recently bought a used boat.
The guy I bought it from just had everything done.
It can mean anything from he just changed to engine oil to he just put a water pump impeller in. Maybe everything meant to him it got a new battery.

Can't you just put lube in the drive so I can take my girlfriend out for a ride?

07-06-2018 10:31 AMI can remember 3 quickly off the top of my head. After explaining that you have a cylinder with no compression and there is nothing I can do to make it run better short of a rebuild I've been asked
How long do you think it will run like it is?
I respond, Bring plenty of water and head up wind when you leave the dock.

Ok, following Paul's hijack...
Gas station walk up interviews:
"Do you fish with that?"
"No. I buy fish at the store."
"How fast does it go?"
"Nobody knows."
"How much did it cost?"
"About a hundred grand more than I expected."
"How big is that?"
"It thinks it's a 41."
"What do you do for a living?"
"I hold a sign at a highway exit two days a week."
When it's idling, a lot of people are fascinated by the cooling dumps. Four big, dominant streams of pee.
