After hours of fun tubing we stopped at Sand Island for a break, stayed about 1 hour and left I got about 100 yards away and the boat stalled. I could not get it to restart. Two families of 4 sitting a boat with no power !! Two nice ladies tubing their kids around stopped and towed us to Kowliga. Kevin, Mickey and two others went through the engine said it was vapor lock and that I needed to cool the engine before turning off after running it hard. Is this common? I never had it happen before. What can I do in the future? Thanks to the Ladies for the tow and Kevin, Mickey and crew they all did a great job getting us back to having fun.
