Default 36 Datona handling quiz...

I was cruising at 155 in my 36 Datona last week with a full load of 6 people and full tanks comming up through a group of boats in a poker run when suddenly the starboard engine shut off due to a shorted wire! Any one want to guess what happened next?

Question

Ummm, just a guess, but im thinking you lost alot of speed, slowed to a stop, (in a straight direction), and opened up the hatch, to take a look, then slowly made the long journey back to the trailer, and now are in the process of repairs...

How am I doing????........................

Default Missed My Chance

You grinned from ear to ear realizing AJ missed his one chance to pass you being MIA for this run.

Guess you guys all have Eliminators! The boat made a little controllable wiggle....we came to a stop...found a coil wire off and were up and runnin in 2 min. My point is to credit the Eliminator hull...what an AWSOME handling boat! Even if something goes wrong...
