having a

perform.
> Wouldn't get on a plane at all, and it was very
> sluggish in almost every maneuver, no matter how
> much power was applied. After about an hour
> of trying to make it go, they putted over to a
> nearby marina, thinking someone there could tell
them
> what was wrong. A thorough topside check
> revealed everything in perfect working order.
> The engine ran fine, the out drive went up and
down,
> the prop was the correct size and pitch. So, one
of
> the marina guys jumped in the water to check
> underneath. He came up choking on water, he was
> laughing so hard.
> Under the boat, still strapped securely in place,
was the
