I've had to provide assistance by towing 4 non-jetboats in the last 3 outings. 2 had outboard trim issues, 1 for a starved fuel problem, and 1 for an ignition spark problem.
 
Not mechanical but I helped this guy that went looking for shells and tide went out.

I tried to yank him out but not enough power. Did get him turned around with 6 people helping.
Guy's wife handed me money but said you hold on it as their day was going to get a little longer and more expensive.

Then I saw a blue GP 1800 tucked away in cove beached. I asked a lady walking with her daughter and she said it was her's.
Needless to say had we not shown up she was stuck like chuck.(she walked up before taking picture0
