Good luck with that, Harry and JimH will be here shortly to trash your
thread, and yes, I have!
Another one. I bought a bass boat and was very excited to get in the
water. Took a friend with me, didn't have a lot of time before dark,
backed it down in the water, started it, would NOT move off the
trailer. Problem? When I bought the boat, it had a strap going over
the stern, I didn't like that, so I bought Rod Saver transom straps.
SOMEBODY forgot to take them off!

Down here St Pete a guy pumped 125 gallons of fuel in the
fishing rod holder. Once they found the fuel in the bottom of the boat
they towed it out real far and had to empty the fuel out!.

Did you see this first hand? Sounds like an urban legend.

#1 125 gallons before they noticed the problem?
#2 They pumped out the fuel - offshore - with an electric bilge pump?

I've done it...more than once, though not in more than 10 years.

Ok my turn about us:
I was told to put the drain plug in the Rinker my husband was in a hurry
to get the boat in the water and pulled up to our dock a storm was coming.
Well I forgot. The boat started to sink. The only way he could keep the
water out was blast up and down the lake until I could get the trailer back
in
the water. buy that time the boat was so heavy it was a real tackle getting
out
of the water ;-)

There are only two types of trailer boaters. Those that have left the plug
out, and those who have lied about not leaving it out.

Except for those among us who are perfect in every way, that is a truism.

Never left the plug out, BUT when I bought my first boat, I didn't take the
plug out when I brought it out on the trailer after a day's use. A few
weeks into the season and I was very concerned because performance had
nose-dived, could barely get on plane and no speed to speak of. Friend went
out with me, drove the boat, asked about my routine for hauling out,
suggested we haul it out, pulled the plug and it drained for what seemed
like hours. Those rainstorms get you, I guess. Bilge pump was an epiphany
for the future. ;-P
