Re: Funny Story

not trying to be the mean one here,but,WHY does everyone seem to think its ok to drink while on a boat?!! It is illegal,at least everywhere i boat,and simply not smart.I take my share of "beverages"when i go on fishing trips,etc,but i just dont drink before or while im out.I LIKE MY BASSBOAT AND I LIKE MY HOME!both of which will be gone if i would hit someone while drinking!Plus,it makes me a little nervous knowing im out there on the water with "medicated"people flying all around me.You can get plastered enough to not say one coherent thing.you can fall 50 times if thats what you like.just please,for all the kids and wives,and of course me,please think of not doing it while on the water.jmo

Re: Funny Story

Yes, in hind sight...if I wasn't freaking out I would have snapped a picture. Even better it was the Harbor Master and instead of stopping to see what was wrong (there was an obvious problem) he just threw that gem at me and kept on trolling.
I may re-create that and capture it on film for everyone's enjoyment....hopefully this time I won't be stuck in reverse.

Re: Funny Story

Did you ever find your keys? I hate the boat ramps when your tryin to look like you know what your doin. I was at a public dock docking into a slip with all these pro fisherman type boaters and for some reason I couldn't shift into neuteral and bounced of the dock not once but twice, not hard enough for damage but I had to hang my head in shame till they were all gone.

Re: Funny Story

Stories like this make me feel a lot better about my rookie mistakes.. This

weekend I will have the Girlfriend,Kids, Parents, and Uncle on my newly repaired boat for its maiden voyage.

The kids just love to drape their legs off the front of the boat while running through bigger boats wakes.

Should be awesome with the newly installed engine and alternator from my old smashed up camaro. ...

My mom will be manually operating the shifter cable thingy from the back of the boat.

It only runs rough above 3000 rpm so I bypassed the fuel filter thingy.

I think some sea foam should fix the backfiring.

While I was installing the motor it sank down into those

special spongy marine motor mounts a little but I pulled it back up with a

prybar... I guess those sawdust filled thingys help with vibration.

Good thing cops don't have boats, cuz I sure can't afford another DUI.

Guys, come on really? You didnt realize that this was a joke? (pretty funny one at that)
