Thanks, guess I'm not the only grumpy old man on this forum. In my defense, I did pull a large, fixed keel sailboat off the reef at Cassady's Point, Port Colborne, that ran too close. Took quite a while, they all had to climb to one side to lean the boat to get the keel off the rocks while I pulled them off. I had my 18 footer with a 85 horse V4 not a jetski , that would be like trying to pull a motorhome with a motorcycle, the guy on the jetski could have quickly been in more "Distress" than the boaters, foolhardy good samaritan, glad it worked out OK , but I wouldn't want to buy that ski used.
