Top Heavy Toon Boat

[Blue_Heron]

Not humor so much as Schadenfreude. How many of us have had dumb a$$ moments in our boating careers? One time I sprayed the carpet on my trailer bunks with silicone spray to help the boat slide off easier. When I got to the ramp, I put in the plugs, disconnected the winch strap and tie downs, and started backing down the ramp just like always. Except this time, when I tapped the brakes as I maneuvered down the ramp, the boat started to slide off the trailer. If I had panicked and stopped, the boat would have been sitting on the ramp and there would probably be a picture floating around somewhere with a bunch of guys standing around looking at it and wondering what kind of idiot dumps his boat off the trailer before it gets to the water. Fortunately, I was able to get the trailer to the water before the boat launched itself. So I'm not going to second guess about a guy that dumps his boat on the side of the road.

On the other hand, when have you ever heard someone say, "nice lines" when looking at a pontoon boat? I guess they have their uses, but I think I'll stick with Seacraft.
