Big foot story been told here more then once.
I had 16 ft foot trihaul break down on the Cherokee. After several hours of helplessly floating in the middle of the lake & boat after boat just driving bye. A 50 ft off shore catamaran stopped, I'll tow you to my shop where I build these boats. So I pulled up the 85hp outboard ( big mistake)& hooked a 75ft towrope up. The guys huge off shore race boat wouldnt plain under about 45 mph. So after about 5 minutes of plowing water, the guy & his girl friend put the hammer down & off we went.
My boat became a 16ft fiberglass tube,whipping side to side & over his huge wake. We went over his wake & so far to port that the towline had feet of slack in it,when the slack would tighten (SNAP) my boat would be literally skipping on one edge & ready to roll at 50mph. We went side to side like this maybe 3 or 4 times before his girl friend turned around & seen what was happening.
It ripped the seats loose from my boat. Next pass over his wake would have capsized my boat & turned it into a meat grinder. Their were 4 of us in my Lil trihaul. How no one got hurt still shocks me.
