Several summers ago on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert east of Bakersfield CA, some folks new to boats and boating, were having a problem with their new craft.  No matter how hard they tried to get the boat trim and moving at a good clip the performance was extremely sluggish.  When they went full throttle the boat performed only slightly better than at just above idle.  After a frustrating hour they nursed the boat into a local marina and asked for help.  An employee did a topside check and found all in good order...the engine ran well, the out-drive went up and down, the prop was the proper size and pitch...everyone was scratching their head.  Finally the employee went and changed into his swim suit to take a look from the bottom up.  He jumped into the water and was below for a max of 5 seconds before he surfaces choking and spitting water from unchecked laughing.  Under the boat, still strapped securely in place, was the trailer!

I know some folks like these nuts, bet you do too.
