Title: How to Launch a Boat
Post by: Roadking on May 10, 2010, 12:34:04 PM
This was this guy's first boat, but he wasn't quite sure of the correct
procedure for launching a boat at the ramp. However, he figured it couldn't
be that difficult to do, so he stopped by his Union office for advice, and
they just told him...:

        "Don't let the trailer get too deep in the water when
you're launching your boat".

       Well later on, he couldn't understand what they
meant by that, as he just could barely get his trailer in the water!

        Here's a picture worth a "thousand' words!

Love it!  Happens with amazing frequency.  The general photo is probably real but the Obama has been photo shopped.

Check these out from the wooden boat site.

A buddy of mine when he was dating his now wife had a hot ski boat and this is what happed the first time they went to the lake.

Girl Friend " Do you want me to back the boat into the water?"
Guy "yea, sure"
He gets ready and she jumps in his truck and starts to back up...
The boat and trailer start to turn and she keeps backing up straight...
He is hollering at her but she doesn't stop till the boat has jackknifed and is grinding into the truck tail lights and fender.

Girl Friend " I didn't know you had to steer the trailer too!"

He never let her back up the boat again...

I've spent many an hour at the boat ramp with an ice chest of beer watching the show. Better than a movie by far!

True story:

I took my boat out and had fun. When we were putting it back on the trailer a Game Warden walked up to me and said " Sir, your TX numbers should be on the bow of the boat!" I said "Which end is the bow??" He let me go.....

I like the way they looked on the stern better.

I agree. But the person who did the photo shop was smart enough to put the correct label where it belonged.

IMO the jury is out on this one.
