[Wet Dream]

Infomaniac:

[JetBoatRich]

What do you think she is thinking?

[058]

JetBoatRich:
What do you think she is thinking? "What am I going to tell him when he gets back from the can, Do you think he'll be pissed? :mad: cry

[Havasu Hangin']

JetBoatRich:
What do you think she is thinking? "I hate Lake Perris..."

[MOPAR2YA]

uuhhhhh :confused:

[Mandelon]

Damnit, I knew I shouldn't have washed those bunks with Ivory Liquid!

[NMlakerat]

Ouch :mad: I told her to wait until I said to go.
No seriously how many of our wife's and or girl friends f**ked up the boat or trailer loading.
"honey I want to try i now i can do it".. and as always it turns in to a disaster Or another one in my case some idiot trying to load next to you and tries to load his boat in to yours :mad: argue

[master13]

I was there not much damage at all this was a well built boat,PERIOD.

[NMlakerat]

how many of you guys had a few beers and say what he hell i will let her drive and something happen or watching them try to back down a ramp and it only took 30 times in forward and thirty in reverse to get the trailer wet enough. not to bag on the gals but I have seen some stupid sh*t happen at the ramp. I watched a lady and her husband yelling at each other. the wife was driving the motorhome the husband was launching the boat she jumped out of the motor home and told him to f**ken do it himself leaving it in reverse those motor homes can float for a few minutes. I guess you had to be there. eek!

[WILD LAVEY]

master13:

[NMlakerat]

[master13]

no this was not my boat, but I got to know the owners and they are getting it fixed, the damage was very minimal.

[WILD LAVEY]

NMlakerat:
morning to ya wild lavey notced anything that needs to be corrected or did she come out tit's whats up lakerat. there are a few minor things, nothing worth mentioning about. im just being pain. as far as the boats performance, it exceeded my expectations. awesome performance. btw did you see the ocean run pics. its over at riverracerx forum under performance boats / shockwave.

[WILD LAVEY]

master13:
no this was not my boat, but I got to know the owners and they are getting it fixed, the damage was very minimal. thats good to know that it only had minimal damage. that was a pretty nice looking boat. dont know what i would do if i did that to mine.

[bordsmnj]

I agree with you, I have seen some funny arguments between couples at the launch ramp, but I can tell you this; my mom can back a trailer in and put a boat on a trailer as good as anyone I've met. I guess that's what makes here unique, on the other hand my girlfriend hasn't tried yet, I'll let you know how that goes argue jawdrop

[Dick Gozinya]

I've long been an advocate of IQ tests prior to selling someone a boat.
If they fall in the dull normal range, make em rack store em. :p

[JetBoatRich]

Shouldn't just bag on women for the trailer duties. I remember once a buddy of mine said no problem I did it a million times. It was one of the funniest things a ever saw, it took him 20 minutes to get the trailer down, we were at Castaic and he started at the top when the water was real low and did not have a clue. It's been 20 years, he has gotten better. But always like to bring that over a few beers. wink

[Moomawnster]

Yeah.. anybody can make a mistake ...... but what happened to the boat at the top of the page ! ? Do we ever find out ! :rolleyes:

[JetBoatRich]

Moomawnster:
Yeah.. anybody can make a mistake ...... but what happened to the boat at the top of the page ! ? Do we ever find out ! :rolleyes: How did they get it on the trailer?
Did a bunch of people lift the back end, pull the trailer out and float it back out?
What did they do?

[Moomawnster]

I wanna know why it came off in the first place ! eek!

[JetBoatRich]

Moomawnster:
I wanna know why it came off in the first place ! eek! Gravity :o

[Moomawnster]

idea I think I am starting to grasp the "gravity " of the situation ! :rolleyes:

JetBoatRich:

[JetBoatRich]

No probelm MissHBjet,
It only took two trips out before my wife mastered it. I'm sure you great at it

[Infomaniac]

Gravity and fancy foot work on the brakes?

[JetBoatRich]

Infomaniac:
Gravity and fancy foot work on the brakes? It takes practice to launch it like they did or DUMB LUCK

[missboatnam1]

hey at least she tryed.....and the boats ok, mayne a little backing up lesson is in order here. wink

[Moomawnster]

OK .... Assuming this was at launch ....who unhooked the boat ? Hmmm ... if it's being retrieved , same question ! Hey I forgot to hook up once but the boat stayed put ......scared me when I found it though ! eek!

[Her454]

I'll bet her husband was making her nervous and screamed at her to STOP, and she did...... wink

[Moomawnster]

Her454:
I'll bet her husband was making her nervous and screamed at her to STOP, and she did...... wink But .... did she unhook the boat ! wink

[Her454]

On the flip side of this, I could post some pics in HER defense of the stupid crap I've captured on film over the years at the ramp....by the men... wink Thank God my mom taught me how to drive and back a trailer. :D

[HBjet]

http://free.***boat.net/ubb/Avatars/Forum_Graphic_Depot/dsc_159.JPG
"Hey, Hold my beer and watch this" Oop's!
That sucks. What kind of boat is that? Force? AfterShock? Maybe we can get some OP6 members to go jump on the bow while we call a tow truck!
HBjet :D

[JustMVG]

The boat is an AfterShock, i was amazed that there wasn't alot of damage. See ya Mike VG

[JetBoatRich]

What lesson did everyone learn here? :o

[Moomawnster]

I must have missed something .... I don't understand why she is getting the blame . I can only guess that people actually launch by unhooking the boat and hitting the brakes at the water line ?...... WTF! If this is the case I have no sympathy at all..... eek!

Her454:
I'll bet her husband was making her nervous and screamed at her to STOP, and she did...... wink This I got a problem with!!!!! What does the girlfriend have to be nervous about!!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Usually on a crowded ramp the dude is acting like ego maniac, drunkin, dickhead and he's frustreted cuz he's not the coolist cat on the ramp. So there he is screamin and yellin at her so he doesen't look like the moron. Mind you this is girl he loves so much, whoop, whoop, whoop that he has just humiliated in front of the world. And he thinks he's the cool cat??? I think not!!! What a jackass!!!! :mad: :mad:
Just once, just once I would love to see the girl walk up to the dude...BUST HIM RIGHT ACROSS TEETH WITH A 2X4 AND WALK AWAY!!!!!!!!
She could come stand behind me after and he would stand there looking like jackass!!!!!
That would be justice... :D :D :D

[missboatnam1]

it so true men get so pissed and yell, and make the whole thing ten times harder wink .....

[rude235]

i too have seen some idiots just screaming at there better halves at the boat dock. but not all are like that. my wife does a great job of loading our boat back on the trailer. so what was the story with this one, how did it come off of the trailer and how did they get it back on????

There is a reason I posted what I said..the above is a perfect example. I also boat with alot of couples, and most of the wives will NOT back the trailer up much less even park it, however I've noticed when we have a girls day out, they have no problem backing mine down. Think its because they're not nervous or feel like they're on the spot? AND, Im not bashing on the men either, its just an observation. :D

[Seadog]

For those that didn't see the other thread in Hot Boats, it was a demo ride and the dealer unhook the straps too early.
Why anyone would blame the wife/girlfriend is beyond me. My wife is better at backinga boat in than the majority of the idiots out there that think they know how to do it. Of course your average gal out there cannot drive a honda without taking up more room than three semis, but that is poor training and too easy licensing requirements.

[Seadog]

Its a universal problem. Its a simple problem of too many gals driving that think a car is a mobile phone or beauty parlor. Next in line is the idiot men that think a car is a mobile office.

[HammerDown]

So very true...and still to this day my favorite bumper sticker reads.."Hang the F**K UP and Drive"

[carreraelite]

I think the main problem is everybody driving agressively with the watchout for me attitude!!

[Seadog]

Running errands on my lunch break today, I had a car and a SUV almost create an accident. Both driven by girls. The car was tailgating and weaving in and out of traffic. How can a small car get up on the rear of a pickup and see what is going on? The SUV pulled out of Arby's and went diagonal across five lanes of traffic to go into another eatery's lot. They are given a new car by Daddy and they think that being cute and flirty will get them out of anything. I personally would like to see a proper driver training program established. Teach them how to drive and react to situations. burningm

I'd match my driving record/reactions to any male thats teaching this "training program". burningm

I don't think it can be put on one sex or the other.I've seen both do some things that weren't cool!!

I had a major long response the the accusations of sexism, but decided to not place it here. Saying that more women than men are lousy drivers is not stereotyping. All I was saying is that the attitude of so many of these piss poor drivers is that of Daddy's little princess. The two go hand in hand.
We as a society should be more involved in teaching base values to our children. Good driving skills do not just happen, it is a reflection on what we are taught. sleeping

One time I unplugged my Surge brake from the truck and it has that Reverse interlock. It takes several feet of reverse before the surge locked up. Bahmmm. It hits hard. I wonder if the combination of the Brakes locking up and having the bow eye unhooked caused this. Dry Bunks shouldn't be that bad.

[VillainDave]

Some times you shouldn't slam on the breaks while backing it in!

[NEW 2 RIVER]

Is that what happens if I keep yelling at the wife at the ramp :D
