Good Krama is coming your way Gary... I'm at 6 tows for others to 1 for me this season (the first time I've ran out of gas in 6 years and the tow was less then a 1/4 mile to the 5mph at disco then we padded to a buddies house) The best tow I gave this year was when I came around a corner about 7pm on a friday night ( knowning I was close to the last person out that night) and saw three guys wearing those orange vests. Which I thought was odd, upon getting close I noticed they were using a cooler to bucket out the incoming water. So we busted out the sac pump and spent the next hour towing him to dells from middle river bridge. Turns out the prop came apart at about 90mph. This guy had to be a good 6 foot 250lbs and it was all he could not cry as his 100K motor was about to go under all the way back in. So back at dells the boat was on the trailer and they had only pulled half way up the ramp, there was so much water in the boat the truck/trailer/boat started sliding back down the ramp. Luckily some guy jumped in and pulled it up the ramp. It was definitly an interesting adventure, more fun then just towing in an out-of-gaser.
