Boat launch comedy

A few years back I saw some black dudes launching a boat. When they got in the boat and started to leave the dock, they notice a lot of water coming into the boat and realized they'd forgotten the plug.

Boat was started and ended up hitting the gas and going in a circle in panic. They had some puppies in a box (have no idea why) that flew into the water.

IF you own a boat you will eventually forget something- Don't know anyone who hasn't forgotten the plug at least once.

I saw about half a dozen people flip out of kayaks in the LSU lakes this weekend.

How the frick is that possible? I can hardly flip myself on purpose

I agree that you will at some point forget something. First time we took my dad's new boat out we forgot one of the plugs. But the bilge pump works!

As far as being nervous, one time I had to launch at Joe's in lafitte. I didn't have much trailer experience at the time and it was the morning of a tourney (we were just going fishing) and if you know Joe's, the slip is just wide enough for a trailer and there's a piling that makes you back in at an angle. I backed it in with the tightest of buttholes and knew after that I'd never have a problem backing another boat in.

My paw-in-law never owned a boat before and he decided he needed one for his new camp. He builds a boat ramp (has someone else build it) and then buys himself a 24' pontoon boat (with a 45hp merc on it). Second time he's ever pulling it out of the water his safety chain gets hooked on the expanded metal boat ramp and he didn't know it. The metal was VERY well anchored and his little Tacoma was smoking all 4 tires. He calls me at home to come help. We live about 30 min away and he wants me to bring my tractor he says. I tell him if my Z71 can't get it out then the tractor will just tear it up. When I get their I notice the chain (by this time he has a 4 x 4 dodge diesel pulling at the same time on the Tacoma). I ask if he ever uses the safety chain and he says "what's that?" I said the chain there from your trailer. So he goes over and grabs it and gets 2nd degree burns on his entire palm. Needless to say we still give him shite about checking his safety chains.

That's hilarious. That had to hurt

i did'nt see this, but a friend told me he rented out a partybarge out to 2 couples. and when they lunched it they just unhooked the trailer from the truck and rode around with the trailer still strapped to the barge. then called to complain that it was too slow. thats when he went to see if something was wrong with it and seen what they had done.

A guy with a few marijuana stickers on his back glass is pulling his 16' aluminum boat out the water. I ha walked to get my truck and apparently when he pulled up he didnt have his wench hooked up and the boat floaded about half way back in the trailer. He then proceeds to walk around the boat scratching his head puzzled. I watched him try pushing it up and thought any minute he'll realize he can just back down and float it. Nope, he gets on the winch and winched that fricker all the way up.

Older guy I work with was launching the boat with his wife. He told her to hold the rope while he went to park. When he comes back the boat had drifted across the canal...his wife is on the bow yelling "you told me to hold the rope".

I once saw an older f-150 that couldnt pull a 28 ft boat out of a slip in venice. They then proceded to put trailor on a chevy and it pulled boat right out.

And one time i was launching alone and my rope knot came untied from my truck and i hada swim for the boat.
