Which leads one to wonder why the boat was ever released from the trailer, or cast off from the dock before the motor was started.
Which reinforces my original statment that when people without a clue try to help, they end up as just another group of idiots who need to be rescued.
He may consider opening up the back hatch and inserting the plug, also the bilge pump may come in handy.
Does this remind you of the scene in the movie "Jaws" when all of the idiots launched to kill the, dare I say it, Great White Shark.
They naturally assumed that Hollywood royalty are immune to the law of gravity, and the water would flee back through the hole once Sean graced the boat with his presence.
