He's just bought on his credit card....first time on the water. See it all the time where I live, might slow down a bit now with interest rates raising (from record lows) to stop inflation down here.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 in line with an earlier thread, I guess this guy is a boat-tard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I watched a guy do the same thing only he was trying to trailer his boat. Ended up with a Grady White on top of his F250. Pretty sure he also got arrested for either DUI or BUI, when I left the ramp he was (sort of) walking the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Some of the most entertaining and scary things I have seen have been at boat launches (ramps). The dumbassery abounds! I guess that video could be considered a “boat launch”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I don't think that's what is meant by "dry dock." I'm not sure I could do much better. The biggest I've sailed was a 21 foot catamaran. The most fun I had was with one of these: 11 foot. Kool had a promotional thing back in the early '70s, send in X number of labels and get a free boat. My brothers worked at a drive in theater and got all the labels needed cleaning up the field. Got two of them. Fun on San Diego Mission Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Might be time to bring back plank walking or yard arm hanging. Up at the government locks in Seattle a man ran a brand new Cris Craft cabin cruiser into a closed lock gate and tied up traffic for a spell. I never understood why or how he cleared the barriers in front of the gates. He must have been really hauling a$$ to get it done. We saw it as they were clearing out what had been a pretty nice boat. My dad shook his head and stated "and I thought I'd done something awful when I drove a tractor into an irrigation ditch." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that’s what the guy on the video said. “Welcome to credit card captain”. I guess because he’s going to need one. My patrol boat back in 93 was moored at a county marina. I saw some amazing things there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Whole youtube channel of these antics. To become a boat Captain all you need is a credit card and a marina that has boat rentals. In a nutshell... To become a boat Captain all you need is a credit card and a marina that has boat rentals. My stepson has witnessed some some pretty interesting stuff on upper Roosevelt Lake at the marina where he keeps his boat. Lots of first timers at the helm of a 60 foot long 16 foot wide double decker house boat that think they know what they are doing till the wind gets up just a little. The local tug boat owner makes a fair amount of money pulling the rental house boats off of sand bars because the lake dropped a foot while the occupants were sleeping off the previous evening festivities. IIRC he gets a about $1000 in advance for the first hour which starts when he fires up the engine and ends when he turns off the key. If the boat is a ways from his dock this can get expensive in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
