I know everyone has seen them at the ramps.<br /><br />I went out to one of my local lakes yesterday with the misses just driving around to see what was up and sure enough all the cabin fevered weekend warriors with their speed boats were out in force.<br /><br />The ramp was quite busy and of course you always have the one or two that holds everyone else up cause they always wait till they get on the ramp to get ready to launch.<br /><br />This is a pretty big ramp and there were 2 boats sitting on it getting ready and I look up and here comes one that goes down behind them and makes a big circle and lines up and performs a burn out in reverse all the way to water.<br /><br />Well like I said, ramp was busy and busy= wet and you know how slick they can be, yep, you guessed it, when he applied brakes to stop, wooshhhhh!!!!!, boat, truck and all in lake up to the doors.<br /><br />I thought the misses was going to fall off the bench laughing so hard and then ask me what was wrong with that guy.<br /><br />So there he sat, boat floating still attached to winch at front and truck died and would not start back, so some guy in a 4WD backed down and hooked to him and they got it all back out of the water and up in the parking area and you talking about a guy getting it from a woman, man a fly would not light on this guy.
<br /><br />His wife was on him like white on rice.<br /><br />In a few minutes here comes a wrecker to haul them off.<br /><br />Just something about these people with these 30 or 40K dollar boats that think they know it all that really gets be going sometimes and then this kinda stuff happens and makes it all good.
