Only in the Northern Hemisphere.
 
Watched the guy in front of me unhook the winch cable
from the boat's bow eyehook and THEN start backing down
the ramp. The boat slid off the trailer right onto the
concrete ramp, Crunch!! Idiot had the ramp closed for
several hours.
 
DOH!
 
Hope that guy can float a loan for a new truck :jester:
 
$2 bucks says he was gabbin' on a cell phone
and totally forgot what was the task at hand.
There's a real skinny guy behind the engine.
I wonder if HE crawled out the open window?

ramp wonders never cease to amaze.

:lol: :iagree:

A "Bubba Award" needs sendin'.
 
I watched a grandpa launch a nice 26 foot Sea Ray. Very smooth operation. He left teenage grand son with his girl friend on the boat. While grandpa parked the truck grand son started the boat, slammed it in gear, and put that nice boat right up on the concrete ramp. It came so far up the ramp that they had to get a small crane to lift it off the concrete. Grampa just calmly shook his head.
 
Yesterday, an idiot backs his dead boat down the ramp,
ties off at the ramp dock and begins working on his
dead engine.

Everyone had to use the jet ski ramp that has no tie
off dock. What joy, throttling the boat, in a strong
cross wind, onto the trailer and holding it there until
the front cable winch was engaged.

Well, we caught many fish.
 
Inconsideration and an attitude of entitlement. Not uncommon.


May we start shootin' 'em now? :jester: :devilgrin:

I prefer the non-violent approach, at least at first. Maybe an "accidental" bucket of live bait down the intake.

I'm with you Randall! A few weeks ago I "accidentally" placed
a 3 pound bag of sardine chum bait in one of the deck lockers of
another boater who kinda "borrowed" a bunch of stuff off my boat
and forgot to tell me.

I took my stuff back and nothing has been "borrowed" since.

Man, I'll bet that locker was covered with flies!!
I can't imagine the smell after a few weeks cooking in the
hot sun.

Sometimes ya have to take the proactive approach!!

Edit: Another good one is push sardines down into the hull
thru the built-in rod holders. No way to get them out.

Don't get me started on the bunghole Jet skiers.
I want so badly to purchase a paint ball rifle and when
those idiots zoom across our trolling lines- splat them but good!! They do it for fun.
