[QUOTE="Urban_Hunter, post: 5877018, member: 12353"] About lost my 201 Pro XL to waves rescuing some morons. Big storm was coming and we were night bassing before it hit. Wind started to pick up and could see lightning in the distance so we headed in. Around the bend at the ramp we could see about 50 first responder vehicles all lit up. Then I hear a lady screaming at the top of her lungs and there sits a woman and husband in a bow rider that is mostly submerged, I’m assuming just the flotation keeping it up. I swing around and pick up the lady but the man is insistent I tow him in. Neither had a life jacket. I throw him a life jacket, get one on the lady who is now crying hysterically, and tow him in. Storm is now raging. As I get to the ramp, the waves are coming over the dock by a good 12” as they get people in the water to grab their boat as I swing it by and untie it. My buddy jumps in to get the truck but the parking lot is jammed. I idle into the wind for about 15mins with every wave coming over the front of the boat. I finally end up having to make a loop screaming at the responders to clear the ramp. When I trailered it, waves were coming over the back of the boat all the way to the seats and it had started running rough. There was so much water in the boat that it was over the fuel tank and had contaminated the gas through a leaky sending unit. I was seconds from stalling and not being able to restart. The morons had just picked their boat up from the mechanic and wanted to try it before dark. Top hose came off the block and the water pump filled up the boat in seconds. [/QUOTE]
