One summer, on Lake Isabella, located in the high desert, an hour east of Bakersfield, California, some folks new to boating, were having a problem. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get their brand new 22 ft. Bayliner to perform. It would drift, and it was very sluggish when trying to maneuver, no matter how much power was applied.
