Sounds like your boat's not the place to be unless a guest carries his own
life vest, EPIRB, fire extinguisher, sidearm, camping chocolate, spear gun,
jug of fresh water and a whole list of other things.

Hahaha. Actually its just the opposite. My boat used to run 47mph till I got
all paranoid about safety gear after a good storm caught up with me at Lake
Erie.... best she will do now is 38. Hell, even my dog has a life jacket and
shes a Lab.

..It's funny: No matter how many times I've wondered how fast my boat would
fill up with water, I've never removed the drain plug while fishing a mile
from shore. I really want to, but I can't bring myself to do it. But, I'll
bet it's gonna pop out one day and blow a hole in whatever surface it hits.
Probably the gas tank.

Thank God my plug is not facing the gas tank or I would be installing a 1/2"
thick 304 grade stainless steel plate between them thanks to you.
