Boaters Courtesy.

[HM]

Dmon,
I wouldn't have pulled you in either . My boat loads up when ideling for extended periods of time. I would have made sure to let you know and then gone to get you some help though. Never leave a boater stranded.
BJH :boxed:
I got towed in by a whacka guy that toasted his motor. Him and I were the only ones on the lake - and he didn't want to do it with his racing outboard motor because it did not cooperate with him under 2000 RPM and loaded up - but he did it any way as it was almost dark. Right when we got to elsinore marina, his wacka threw a rod. I actually offered to help pay in some way or form and he refused...he just laughed and said...."Just a good reason to rebuild it again" a true ***boater!! LOL
I beleive it is illegal to not help a boat in distress. If you want to get even with the people who don't stop, get their CF's if you can with a description and report them. I don't know what happenss for minor things like needing a tow, but they can be held liable if damage, injuries, and even death resulting after they refuse to help.
These guys that won't help a fellow boater are typically the guys who leave trash on the beach and etc. They are scum and hopefully no one will be hurt because of their inactions. I have a friend who used to not help anyone and I laid into him - and now he helps everyone fearing I might find out he didn't help someone.
When ever I see an engine hatch up, even if they are not flagging me down, I will go check to see if they are o.k. I have ended up towing a few people that hadn't had to flag anyone as they had just started looking at why their boat stopped running. I actually towed someone from Cottonwood Bay to Katherines Landing - I wouldn't take any gas money.
Hey, if you ever get standed, call me. I can be in the water in about 30 minutes from my house. I understand what it means to be stranded. I blew the engine on my flatty and got stuck on the east side of the lake and ended up trying to hold it off of the beach in about 3 ft of wind chop, and the water was 55 degrees!!

The boat that towed me was not that kind. It was a TRUE outboard with STOKER 225 on the motor.
Nice looking boat...did you already sell the old one?

Yep, I was right next to you. I was cruising with my 2 boys on the point (2 and 4). They both had buzz haircuts. And then we swam for a while next to the White outboard with the APBA sticker. There were a couple of kids from your group that came over and played with my kids for a little bit. I had the kids by myself as the wife was at home with our 2 month old. We were doing a little boys trip bonding.
Next time I will at a minimum say hi!
Oh, and your boat looks really great....pictures don't do it justice!!!

I am gonna kick you in the junk for that, but I will still tow you in. I was not out there on monday.
I also have a white bimini with two orange stripes - and the name is freshly painted on the back.
