Friends and family always wonder why I like working the weekends and having weekdays off. One time at the boat ramp on the weekend and they would know why.

Sometimes it's more fun to just watch the drama at the ramp!
Got behind two guys who found out, after they got their very old 25-30 foot walkaround's motors in the water, that the batteries were dead. Then they left the rig where it was and rigged a jumper cable from the truck's battery back to the boat's batteries.
Guess what happened???? They soon had dead truck and boat batteries, with the trailer in the water and truck stuck on the ramp.
The guy behind them offered to jump the truck battery with his boat battery on the condition that when they got the truck running they'd get out of the way.
It worked. All in all, about 1.5 hour delay.

I was at the merrimack river a couple of summers ago and saw a real nice brand new bowrider type boat with a stern drive engine that just got towed out. Only trouble is that the lower end of the engine unit was literally hanging by a thread. Being new to the river, they hit a rock and tore it right off. Best part of all was the puzzled looks on the peoples faces when they pulled it out. My guess is that they were speeding through the river zig zagging and BAM. If you stay in the middle on that stretch of river you are fine. Just about Every boat I have seen on that river only seems to have 2 speeds idle and full throttle. Have to hit that river early in the season, before the crowds. There is some really good smallmouth fishing on it.

A few years ago my friend was launching his 192 Wellcraft out of the Weymouth ramp. To speed up the process he removed the winch cable and safety hook. He started backing the boat down the ramp and found out why they call it a roller trailer. I went right off the trailer and landed on the ramp, to his surprise he only chipped the gel coat and a small ding in the out drive. The ramp manager said it happens about twice a year.
