Well, after a few weeks of looking online, visiting dealers, and surfing online, I found my 1st boat. '95 24' Cruisers Aria, 5.7, Mint condition, meticulously maintained. Waited a week for all the financing and insurance to go through, and yesterday I was going to drive the boat from the dealer to my marina on the water. Since I'm new to boating, and was unfamiliar with the waters I had an experienced friend come with me and make sure I didn't wind up posting in the "stupid human tricks" forum instead of here. So, we untie from the dock, follow the directions of the yard guy on where to head into the water, and start idling out. about 500 yards out, still idling, another boat pulls out of the marina behind us and powers up as if he was going to pass us. My friend says, "Its's OK, just let him pass us" So I wait for him to do so. He pulls past us adn as he does he gives us both a dirty look and shakes his head and rubs his finger together in the naughty-naughty gesture. WTF?? So, we get on it a little bit and now are cruising nicely, The other guy is about a mile infront of us, and I see him pulling about. As we approach I start to turn so I can pass on his port, just like I was taught in CG classes. He cuts us off, almost sending my bow into the side of his boat. He walks to the side of his boat, and with a Really angry face says,"HEY, YOU A@#HOLES OK?" - Yea, we're ok- "THEN FU@#ING BACK OFF!!!" I figured screw this, and gunned it and got out of there. He didn't follow, and my friend and I looked at each other in stunned disbelief. I asked him if I had done anything wrong, and he said no. Now in my normal life, I would have beat the sh#t out of this guy, but being my first time on the water, I wanted to keep a low profile. Anyone have any idea what this could have been about, I made no wake in the marina, and was well past the wake buoys before I ever even gave it a bit of gas, and if he was following me what he hell was he talking about with BACK OFF? The only thing I can think I did was that when we were out in open water, I was playing with the trim tabs, getting used to their operation, and the boat was listing quite a bit side to side. But even so, I was at least a mile in front of this guy, and when he approached, he was in no way being friendly. My frind later told me, "I've been boating for 10 years, and even while screwing around, I've never had a dirty look or an unkind word from anyone on the water" I just hope this isn't a look at things to come for me on my boat.
