Don't ya just love the "on the ramp get ready" folks. Waiting in the dark about 20 boats back from there ramp, getting everything but the front strap unhooked and had a jack wagon try to pull around me to get one place closer to the ramp. Needless to say I stood in the middle of the road till my partner could pull the ride and boat up behind the rig in front of us and went back to getting everything ready. We launched, they pulled in behind us and backed down to the water and YEP you guessed it, they started getting their stuff out of the back of the truck and took their sweet time getting ready to launch. Didn't see where they parked, but I bet they messed up it up as well.


I've seen a few fights come close to breaking out on the ramp when guys try to cut. not sure why they think their time is more important. Just wait your turn (and grumble like I do). if you are ready and think others are not, a simple polite question works 99% of the time.

The delay the morning this happened is a guy was putting in and his battery blew up when he tried to start his big motor. He was already off of the trailer and they tried for over a 1/2 hour to get his boat back on the trailer with the motor all the way down. Some folks in other boats opened the bleed screw and raised his motor to get it back on the trailer. We were stopped over 200 yards away from the ramp, they just wanted to move up 1 spot.

At least we can safely say that stupidity has no brand loyalty.
