Dumbest question someone has ever asked about your boat ?

I know we've all heard some dumb questions... I've had a bunch but this comes to mind...

Just about ready to pull away from the dock with the 25' I had when I live in S. Florida, a bystander tells me "don't forget your oars just incase you break down out there..." I shook my head, untied and pulled away...

Indeed and here's another.. just sold my 19' G3 yesterday. Sold it to the second guy who looked. First guy asked me "what's your lowest price?" to which my reply.. "what's the most your going to give me for it?"

Couple summers ago, took my buddy's 21 Sea Cat to the lake for a shakedown cruise before he hauled it back down to the coast. Some guy swimming at the ramp asks me "how fast will that thang go with both engines running"?

Of course, I couldn't resist and told him I didn't know since we hadn't tried that yet.

I tell them it is a mud motor and the next question is .... why in the world would you want to go into the mud?

Shields Marina boat ramp. Spring of 1988. My Action Craft flats skiff is in one side of the ramp. A local guy in a crab fishing boat is loading up on the other side. It's starting to drizzle rain. He looks at my boat, points to the poling platform and says "hey son.....that's a good idea there....keeps you motor out of the rain".

In his defense.....I believe counting mine there were 2, possibly 3, flats skiffs in the entire Big Bend area. (as opposed to today when there are 2 in every creek)

"How much gas does that thing on the front of your boat burn?" That was a great one.

Reply: It's pretty fuel efficient.
