IDIoit, have you ever heard the story about the guy that bought a brand new boat but couldn't figure out why it would not come up on plane?
Come to find out he never disconnected the trailer from it.
Oh... I launched my boat 3 weeks ago.
now thats a stupid that cannot be fixed, except with a .454 but you may need 6
Brian,
A "redneck" good time. All day at the top of a boat ramp with a lawn chair and cooler of beer.........
Frustrating as hell for those of us that know what we are doing and want to use the ramp. But if you know what you are doing and just sit back an watch...... it can be a quite entertaining time.........
i do this quite often!
one day i was at my local ramp, this is where we go to drink a few beers and smoke some reffer after a long day, or bright n early in the AM.
there was a mexican fella and his son getting ready to go fishing, in the designated spot for launch prep.
as soon as they started to back down, this colored fella came right in, took up both spots on the launch ramp, and proceeded to get his boat ready, cutting off the mexican fella.
i started to harass the colored fella, because there is a protocol to the method, and he cut the other guy off, and wasnt even ready.
so, as he puffed his chest out, me and the 5 other people that were with me, i pointed out that he just cut the other guy off and he needed to move his ****.
after a long arguement, everyone behind me started in on him as well.
the guy finally moved his truck and let the mexican guy go.
when the black dude got back down to the ramp to launch his boat.
he got about 3 feet from the water, when i yelled at him again.
he stopped and jumped out of the truck really really mad,
then i yelled to him,
"ARE YOU GOING TO PUT YOUR BUILGE PLUG IN!!??!!"
he went from the self proclaimed baddest dude ever to the most humble "imamoron" mood in about .02 of a second.
we laughed at him for about 10 minutes as he found his builge plug and then couldnt figgure out how to work it...
one of those compression rubber plugs, as it was stuck.
he asked me for help, and i told him to put some jerry curl juice on it
moral of the story, i shoulda let him sink his boat.
