Anyone ever have someone ELSE suck up your rope?? Coming back to shore I found my buoy missing, come to find out the sea doo next to mine sucked up my rope along with the buoy and anchor. We flipped the sea doo on side and spent the next 30 minutes fishing it out.

Managed to get it out but damn near ripped the buoy in half. This is my first experience with a sucked up rope, anyone else have a similar experience?

Had a guy run over my anchor line. Luckily his prop had some sort of auto sensing stop, so no damage done.

Looks like we'll have to add a new question to the personal profiles...
"Ever sucked up someone Else's rope? Nope, dopeless.

I ALMOST got the neighbors rope yesterday.

They were skiing in a large cove when we arrived on the water. So we cruise over to find them. As I was puling up he's waving and making a "line" motion with his hands. I was like WTF is he trying to tell me? I didn't see the rope drifting out perpendicular from his boat. At the last second he threw the stop (hand across the neck in a line) sign at me. Without a second thought, I cut the engine, and drifted over the top of this (later to find out) BRAND NEW ski rope. Total blind trust on my part that I needed to stop what I was doing as he had a better vantage point of the situation than I did. Wouldn't have done that for a stranger, but had enough trust in him that if he says stop, I'll stop and figure it out.

It was easily the closest I've been to sucking up a rope.

I sucked up what looked like a broken fender line this past weekend. It was my first ever and what a pain in the ass to get out... luckily I could get my boat back to my dock with the other engine and get it out. It was windy as heck out on the water as well and not a lot of fun trying to put the boat on the side of my dock to tie up with the wind, one engine working and not a great side set up as I have a jet dock, so I couldn’t even get her up on the dock due to one engine...
