**This a long post, but entertaining**
I didn't know where to put this, but I figured it would be OK here...

A day all to myself, no wife and no kids! Just a full tank of gas and a 6 pack chilling on ice... What a day!!

My boat is docked at a buddy's house on a lake that is connected to 6 other lakes by channels. So, I said, "Today is the day to hit all the lakes." I snagged up my buddy and away we went.

I make it about a mile into the first channel and I see a beautiful, new bass boat being towed by a pontoon, I stopped to see if I could help. The Bass boat had the prop sheared off and there was nothing left but a big blob of goo, where the prop should have been. He said they were fine, so I continued on my way down the channel.

Followed the channel putting along at about 10-15mph. Coming up behind me is a low riding jetboat. I wave him by (he was fully loaded with passengers) so I guess he was trying to impress everyone with his left hand drive squirtboat! So as he passes us, he flips us off and hammers it, with his "Fire hose" pointed to the sky and drenches us and my boat!! What an A** I said to my buddy, but other than a wet pack of smokes, nothing was harmed. So, I sped up to dry us off.

We make it to a very low bridge, while under this bridge I have about 1 inch above my motor can to the ceiling of the bridge (if you know what I mean) The guy in the jetboat is still in front of us, and he hoses us again!!! I'm getting aggravated, but I didn't want it to ruin my day.

We continued on at about 10-15mph until we reached another low bridge. The jetboat was sitting and waiting for us to catch up and yet again he hoses us!

Now I am pissed! So the only logical thing I could think of was to pass him and slow down in front of him! So that's what I did. We were coming into a turn and I cut the apex and shot right in front of him! We come to a narrow section of the channel and I slow down to an idle, just to slow this dum bass down. He can't pass me unless he goes through the lillypads, so I know he won't pass me now! (Jetboat + lillypads=no go)
But guess what, he tries anyway! He can't pass me because he hammered it and he packed his inlet with pads! lol He slows way down and then stops... I just kept going on to the next lake. No hand gestures or anything, we just continued on.

I reach a "No wake zone" and guess who comes flying up behind me at about 40... Yup, you guessed it, Squirt man!! He passes us and douses us again, he shoots a 50 foot rooster tail and gets up to about 45-50mph in a no wake zone!! At the end of the channel sits the local law enforcement!! The cop catches him and forces him to stop.

I came to a stop right next to them and stated the preceding facts to the cop... Yes, I tattled on him! I wonder how big his ticket was? They took one of the passengers out in handcuffs (too bad it wasn't the driver!)

After watching the show for a few minutes, we then shot across the lake and anchored at the sand bar (the "hang out" w/about 50 boats).

Of course, everyone there wanted to know what happened. I guess this boob does this sort of thing all the time!

Half hour of hanging and out here comes squirtgun! He blames me for getting his buddy busted (his buddy was smoking weed) and now wants to fight. I am not going to comply with his demands regardless of his insults. (it is difficult to argue with someone that is arrogant and ignorant) I had enough, I laughed at his bragging of his $15,000 boat and my buddy and I left.

Here he comes again and Tried to soak us... But, this time I hammered my little Glastron for everything I could get out of her,I couldn't believe how well my little boat was pulling on his big block, but I outran him! I wished I had an old soup can and some string so I could have shot a rooster on him! lmao!!!

I went back to the sand bar and he continued running around spraying everyone, knowing he had been beaten by a $1,000 boat with a 90hp!!! I got a lot of compliments from my little old boat!

In the midst of his spraying, he sprayed the wrong boat! An off duty county sheriff. The cop chased him down and arrested his stupid a**! I laughed when the cops drove off in his boat to be impounded!

Went back to the sand bar and had a few beers and and some laughs at his expense!

I hope you all enjoyed this!

lol... I wouldn't do anything like that! It would be my luck the flare would ignite his boat! But a good oar upside his head would've helped I think!

It took me 3 times reading that to understand what it meant! I thought it was a few type-o's...

I get it, that is funny!

Re: My day out...

coming from a jetboat owner myself, there is a REALLY quick way to stop an annoying jetboat like this guy... Leave some floating lines out. Doesn't take much rope sucked into a jet pump to really wedge things up nicely! As well as being MUCH harder to unwrap compared to a prop, but you stand a chance of snapping a driveshaft also.

outstanding report!!

Dude, you can't be serious?

The FIRST time someone drenches me I would have him arrested. Sounds like people in your area needs to grow some balls if he's allowed to do this.
