My aluminum boat takes on a gallon or two of water in a days fishing nowdays. My partner had gotten pretty used to pulling the plug after I got my stick steering rig up on plane and then he would put the plug back in after it had sucked all the water out and before we would reach our next spot.
One time I took off and out the corner of my eye I saw Jim pull the plug, throw it up by the motor and turn back around and stretch his feet out for the long ride across the lake....I couldn't help myself! I shut the boat down real fast and grabbed a rod and said " Let's try it right here.":D
You haven't ever seen a guy move so fast to find and put a boat plug back in!
