The other day I was waiting to get my boat on to the ramp to leave. there
was a lot of boaters going in and out. as I waited my turn. this guy sees me
waiting as he is putting his boat on the trailer. He starts to crank faster
gets the boat up and pulls up the ramp a bit. I bring my boat on to the ramp
and head to get my truck so I can get it out of the next guys way. AND I
CANT GET DOWN THE RAMP. Mr. nice guy got out of the way quickly for me but
then decides to do all his buttoning down and putting all his gear away
while he is in the middle of the ramp, what an ass. I had to just say this
in case there are still other butt heads out there that don't know enough to
pull up off the ramp and then put their stuff away and tighten down the
boat. OTHERS NEED THE RAMP ALSO! GET IT YOU PEOPLE!

Being an individual who has two trailered boats, I get to see it all.

1 - Truck rolling down the ramp into the water with the boat still
hooked to the trailer.

2 - Car spinning it's wheels so fast that the drive's side blew out
while trying to recover a 20 foot Bayliner.

3 - Boat being driven onto a trailer - goosed throttle - boat launches
itself into the bed of the pickup.

4 - A pair of older kids with jet skis playing at the ramp causing
problems - beached their jet skis to go to the powder room - guy pulls
up with his truck, hooks both jet skis to the hitch, pulled them out
of the water, up the ramp and right onto the parking lot and left them
there.

5 - (Actually, my favorite story) beached jet ski after raising hell
at the ramp - ****ed off boater guy pulls out his 9mm Glock and put
full 13 rounds into the jet ski.

6 - Three jet skis towed out into the middle of the lake and left
there.

Oh, I could go on and on and..... :)
