Exactly they need ramp etiquette would be nice. There isnt a boat or a trailer my dad and or my cousin and I cant load in less than a minute with the trailer in water under normal condidions. I think that people put on their retard hats before they get to the ramp.

Nobody can back a trailer and or load a boat correctly. Im lucky I have a lift so I only use the public ramp for my friends boats or at the end/begenning of the season. If im not in a hurry its fun to watch but other times it pisses me off. I can load my Sn alone in probably 20 seconds longer than with another person. Now the Mc trailer is another story you have to leave it in gear and go to the bow and click the lil pin that holds it in place which is totally dumb if your doing it alone.

It took these douches like 10 minutes last of the season to load a pontoon onto a drive on bunk pontoon trailer.

It also amazes me howmany people will do burnouts on the ramp with 2wd trucks pulling out. I always used to pull my boat out with my 2wd r/t dakota with wide dry performance tires and no weight in the bed and 350 ft/lbs torque and never spin a tire ever.

I would vote to make it manditory to take a boater safty course and get a certified lisence to boat just like a car because I guarntee 90 percent of people out there wouldn't pass it. Its amazing that you can jump in a boat as soon as you get your drivers lisence never having driven one before and endanger other peoples lives and our correct crafts.

I've literally had to run blocker with my boat so many times for my downed skiers because people don't see them floating infront of them in the water. Thats a rush when someone almost gets ran over. Ive almost been chopped up a few times. We have had peoples boats towed to the ramp by the DNR before.

This is turning into another rant on other boaters haha. Oopppsss

Not surprised your fellow MC owners don't know how to use their own trailers, but the Boat Buddy should only be used during loading, and disengaged immediately following.

Wow,didn't mean to get everyone worked up.
For the recored everyone needs glass,my group craves and talks about having it earlier in the year like the birth of a new baby.I guess thats just a side affect of living in Oklahoma(where the wind comes sweeping down the plane)

Oh no! My point earlier was at one point whenever you saw a boom out and and a footer in the water you would shut it down and treat that one cove (of many) like it was a No Wake area, set back and watch the show. Footers do not have the luxury of skiing, boarding, or tubing in rollers and whitecaps. I can't speak for all footers, but because of this I'll shut it down when a advanced boarder is pulling some tricks, hell it's fun to watch. I consider it mutual respect. I also have no problem getting up early(depends on the night before) or camping out in a cove till sunset to get good water. But why come slow rolling into a cove were you see footers, dragging a tube, board, zip-sled, ect. when the skier or boarder is making no effort to improve or simply dragging behind the boat. Yes I agree "butter" in Oklahoma is almost non existant, all the more reason to show some mutual respect.

Dave, just noticed your avatar picture and the background. I use to live a couple of blocks from the school.

Did a little footin' on it, walked or drove around it alot looking at the girls!

if you like great whether and you love to ski FSC or rollins are good choices,all though there is a lot of nice looking women to check out walking around hollingsworth

Pete,I remember my Dad talking about powerturns when he had his Chris Craft in the late '40's. He sold it in the mid '50's when he started his business so I'll bet some guy in the '20's discovered them!
