[QUOTE="ppine, post: 460293, member: 22555"] When I was younger I had a ski boat, a Ski Centurion with a Ford 351 Cleveland inboard. Those boats have gears and can really pull. Bronze skegs on the keel line make them turn like they are on rails. First trip out in the spring on Pyramid Lake, NV a huge lake, I lifted the engine cover after we were under way just to check the engine. I had lost a freeze plug the size of a 50 cent piece and was pumping water into the bilge. I turned around and got the attention of my wife on shore. Fortunately she had the truck keys and headed for the boat ramp. We made it to the ramp but were swamped. We were able to pump the boat out and get it on the trailer. We easily could have sunk the boat and it is a deep lake. [/QUOTE]
