[QUOTE="ShootnBlanks, post: 216941, member: 2017"] Yeah, it can get interesting. I bought my current boat 5 years ago late in the evening after work all the way to Brookings SD. Most I could do was look it over quick, ask reason for selling, tossed muffs on and ran motor for a few minutes. All was fine to me. Except 1st time out and this was early spring it was cold and windy. Decided it was a perfect chance to test the new -to-us boat out on Ashtabula. Had the family with. Made it up the lake couple miles from landing and idling around boat seemed to sit pretty low in the water to me. Pulled cover in back and holy shit that boat was full of water! Couldn't get to plane out, it was a struggle bus.was trying the pull the plug trick and go. Barely made it back to dock. They must not have drained for winterizing, hell prob didn't do anything period. Aerator for front livewell froze and blew apart, and auto bilge failed. Never did I think of something like that and how does a guy test without taking boat to a lake? I bet there's alot of boat stories to be told from guys on this site... [/QUOTE]
