This is a ramp story I will never forget.<br /> Were at the ramp, a busy 6 holer and in comes this tri-hull built sometime during the Kennedy era I would guess, loaded up with a couple families having a day on the water heading home. Well, they have a hard time getting tied up and eventually here comes the trailer, so they start to load the boat, it's a roler trailer and they are using a minivan to pull it. Can't quite get far enough in to drive it on so they're winching it on, the winch rope breaks, slides back off, then someone dropped their keys in the water, two more people fell in the water, kids are running all over the place, mothers' are screaming and the men are getting huffy, really holding up the ramp since Mom has the van and trailer all crossed up taking up two holes. They finally get the boat tied to the trailer with everything but bailing twine. They pull out and the boat rolls (sideways) upside down in the water. Someone tied a line from the port side across the boat, Docked on the Starboard, since it's held to the trailer well, it flipped upside down, the rope gave way on the trailer and there it sat..... upside down in the water.... I went and bought me a video camera on monday, I figure that might have won me 10K on funniest videos LOLOLO!!

this happened about 8 years ago was putting my boat on the trailer after a day of fishing when me and my buddies heard alot of tires squeling and smelled tire smoke looked down about 8 ramps down and heres this guy tryin to pull a 32ft boat out with a front wheel drive escort we all had a really good laugh for about 20mins then unhooked my boat from my dodge 4wheeldrive pick up and went down to help tow him out by the time we got back to the ramp this guys sittin in his car with water halfway up the doors still spinnin the tires so my buddy hooks up a chain we drag him out and had a pretty good laugh when we got it out all he had was a bumper hitch and was gonna tow this huge boat home 50 miles we laughed and said have fun i wonder what ever happened to him
