BTDT (Been there etc.)
1. Boat still tied to the trailer
2. Trying to start the motor with the cover still on the intake.
3. Drain plugs missing go without saying.
4. Starting the engine with the covers still over the headers. (bye bye header covers)
5. Trying to back off the trailer with the bow eye still hooked up.
6. Driving the boat off the trailer with the keys to the tow vehicle in your pocket.
7. Forgetting to put the new tags on the boat.
8. Forgetting to put the new tags on the trailer.
9. Forgetting to turn on the gas.
10. Forgetting to turn on the water to the headers.
11. Forgetting the vests, ropes, skis, throwable, resgistration, etc.
12. Forgetting to bring the anchor.
I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting !!!

I did "ok" backing down the "ramp" at Elsinore today. (not really a ramp, just kinda a slanting parking lot. Anyway, everyone is parked really close so there isn't a lot of room to pull up and straighten out. I get it after a while, no jack knifing, took me awhile to remember to remember how. Get the trailer in the water, boat starts up, do the back up thing, boat floats off, everything is cool.
Go to get the trailer to put the boat back on, no room to pull up again, so I am kinda sideways, but I figure it out, get in the water, get the boat, everything is cool.
Get home guide Mr. Scream into our driveway with the boat, no problem, I am in a hurry cause I have to pee. He parks, I throw the block chocks under the tires and run off.
Well I screwed up, I didn't place them right in front of the tire, so when he put the wheel on the trailer, it rolled into the back of my Navigator...............(well, I won't do that again)
Saw some poor soul pull his boat out of the lake with the prop down, and grinded the skag down a bit.................

I liked it when I started the boat, put it in reverse, and the prop splashed water all over the boats next to me because I forgot to lower the outdrive. Wait, I mean I knew someone who did that :D :D :D
