I had a guy blocking the ramp last week because he wanted to finnish his cigarette before he got in his truck to leave. If you don't want to smoke in your vehicle the don't smoke at all.

I saw a gut who had forgotten to unhook his winch strap. he thought the boat was stuck on the trailer so he pulled forward and went backwards fast and hit the brakes. He had to do this four times each time faster than the last until his winch finally broke and there his boat went to the very end of the strap. Twang and then the boat jerked back toward the trailer and smashed into the trailer bunks. I almost fell of the dock laughing. He didn't think it was funny so he put his boat back onto his trailer and left.

Yep...too true...

I did however see the most inept pair of idiots on the slipway at Fowey in Cornwall yesterday whilst sat in the boat chilling out on the pontoon.
They were in a yellow dory with an ex-military mariner 40 on it that broke down and were towed in at LW springs by one of the harbour patrol boats.
At the end of Penmarlam slip is a lip which is hidden by the water but has markings to say how far it is to it. The guy fetching the trailer came backwards down the slip in a white Fourtrak van (it's a rocky in the US) and pushed the trailer off the lip-then drove the Fourtrak off the lip with one wheel too.
Rather than use low range 4x4 to pull it up he revved the tits out of it in 1st until the water was steaming and eventually it came back up.
He didn't bother to pull the trailer up the lip though and it was on about a 30 degree angle sideways as well as 45 degrees backwards.
I shouted across to his mate that the trailer was p1ssed and had fallen off the end of the ramp and got an arsey response so left them to it...as they just clipped the ratchet onto the bow eye of the floating boat and drove forwards (revving the tits off it in 1st again) yanking the trailer up the lip with a bang leaving the boat on the p1ss...
Then they tilted the engine DOWN and drove off without even securing the boat, whacking the skeg on the floor on the way up...
You couldn't have made it up.

what language is this? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just have no idea what you said.

English would be my guess.

Re: Public Access Sites = SHT on parade!

i go down to the ramp around the corner just for that kinda entertainment haha, i pretend to fish while dishing out advice like turn your wheels the other way, no your other other way hahah,
one time some idiots pulled up in a shinny navigator with big rims the whole deal and this crappie boat and trailer, he goes to back it in and hits the breaks, the whole boat just slids out and slids on the concrete,
when other ppl showed up to put thier boat in like 5 guys including me just picked it up and put it back on the trailer haha, that would be so embarassing
