Hint No. 1: If you are getting more than your feet wet, you aren't doing it right!

I wonder if that's a jet boat, with difficult steering, but still no excuse for sending crew and the captain into the drink. And on a perfectly smooth day! Well, not everyne who has a boat is a boater.

Yea it was a Jet Boat. But what i dont get is he cut the motors, which on a jet boat you LOSE ALL STEERING THEN! You should have seen them tied up to the dock. the came through no wake WAY too fast and the his buddy jumped off the boat with the line and underjumped the dock and ended up in the water. and then had to swim and pull the boat in.... I guess we all have been there.

What scares me is not what they're doing at the ramp. If they're that bad at the ramp, are they any better out in the waterways with other boaters?

That is an interesting way to get a boat on a trailer!

I almost wonder if he isn't trying to steer it like a car. It looks like he gave it way too much steering.

might be a jet, but either way, REALLY inexperienced captain at the helm is a problem no matter what drive.

He never lined it up and pointed it at the trailer. That is what I don't get.

I think, for whatever reason, he planned all along to get close and jump in the water, figuring he could just hand feed the boat onto the trailer.

Wind and current were non-issues!

Re: Complete Failure at the Boat Ramp!

I wonder if Jeremy wanted anything ???:D
And also if he got what he wanted ???:D:D

You know, you could sell tickets at the ramp most weekends. Should be some bleachers there and a hot dog stand !!! May make quite a lot of money.:D

Wow, just wow. I kept looking for signs of wind or current, but it did not look like that was the cause. Glad it was a jetboat, especially when the guy jumped off the bow while underway. Jeez!:eek:

That's Anna Point Marina! Lake Anna is always a good place to see stupid things on the water.

Looked like a 2000 Ford Ranger, Little 4 banger. Had a tough time pulling the boat out of the water.

Jeremy got what he wanted. look at his wife!

I was thinking about setting up a live webfeed, and charing $1 per month for a membership to people watch.

I think he might have been better off to try backing it on to the trailer!!
