when i was about 9 i remember launching out boat at Pt def. and watching these other guys with garden hoses trying to siphon water out of their boat, apparently they bought the boat used and weren't aware that they needed a plug.. lol instead of taking the boat out of the water, they tied it up to the dock and one of the guys went running off trying to find a plug.. well.. when we came back from fishing the boat was water hahah..
