Tell me your worst broke down story

[tmc9046]

I ran out of gas yesterday and had to swim about 3/4 of a mile back to the launch.no one around to pull me in.Also lots of alligaters around,one within 10 feet of me.They usually dont bother me but for some reason b/c my ski was not running I felt uncomfortable.

ran out of gas about 2 miles from my dock once.

a nice gentleman pulled me in on his couch.

he was wearing a THONG.

he offered me a seat on the couch with him, I declined and rode the superjet tray.

short tow rope, I had a large view of hairy man buttocks for most of the ride back

My sister was in tears, and laughing hysterically as we pulled into the dock...

My worst breakdowns have been in the boat. I blew an ignition coil once and had to get towed in by a guy in a fishing boat with a little 5hp outboard motor. I was grateful and humiliated at the same time.

I broke down a couple years ago with my 96 SeaPoo XP it was a retired race ski and we were out surf riding out of the Saint Lucie Inlet, Everything was going great when I felt the ski loose power in the middle of the inlet so I kept going untill out of the way slid the seat back and found a cooling line had poped off and was soaking my air filters so I put it back on and went to fire up the ski and nothing....

I was like WTF no power at all, Well I started looking around and found the starter wire terminal broke so I tried to hold it on the starter post and start the ski, mean while the current was taking my right back into the inlet with boats everywhere, all I ended up doing was shocking myself because there was no way to hold the seat the starter wire, the start switch and hit the throttle to get it going with those buckshot carbs I had,

So I hooked the rope to my buddys ski and he started towing me in but we were about 5miles from the ramp we use and his ski over heated GP800 But I think it was because he was pulling me at about 30mph. so now we were both dead in the water 4 miles away from the ramp laughing about it because we had just about given up. And along comes one of our buddys to meet up with us he had a late start.

He hooked up his GP1300R to the GP800 which was still conected to my XP and he pulled us all the way back at about 40mph it was a crazy day and I got sprayed with his Yamaha Visiual sprayer the whole way back it was classic, and man was it an interesting ride having 2 skis towed with 15' docklines at that speed it was squirly...

We still laugh about that day

Living in So Cal a few years back when if you got near a surf break the lifegaurds or sheriff would chase you off so we used to launch Dana Point and head to the cliff faces with good breaks.

My buddy launched one and the ski came down upsidedown. The throttle got stuck and when he rolled it over it took off straight for the cliff face and crashed bad. We were miles from the launch ramp towing the sunk ski with another 550 barely doing 1 mile an hour when the sheriffs boat finally came along and hauled it in and took him to the ramp.

Even worse he was still making payments on it at the time.

It does help improve some skills though glassed that sucker back together good as new and exept for the missing stickers youd never know.
