Good point , while we have always had some marine rescue thing going on they have recently been hammering the coast guard membership thing .......the local one just got a new club house and Rib ,and their annual nationwide raffle has good prizes.
I think they should be charging (like wounded Bison ) any one who has to be rescued for stupid 5hit....like running out of fuel or poor maintenance issues . Stupid learns fast when you hit it in the pocket.😁

You can't really fix stupid, but, you spend a lot of money trying !!

Yeah, I’ve towed a couple over the years. Those were just unfortunate breakdowns. One I towed just happened to be a guy that pulled me out of a snow bank a couple years before. Favor returned!

Here on make erie, there is enough room that we are not packed that tight, however....the long lines waiting at the launch ramps is another story !!
Those that do not know how to backup, nor actually how to load their boats all stand out like a sore thumb ! Many that keep their boats moored are good, but using a popular launch ramp.........??

No kidding! We used to go to a carp o Rama carp shoot. You used a fishing bow. Down by Madison Wi we launched and worked our way acr to the shallows where the carp were. zig zag between the mess, some were fishing, water skiing, and jet skiing. What a mess. At least the shallows were calm!

Hysterical!
A buddy told me about this yesterday but he didn't like it. Having seen it this morning, I'm thinking that he didn't watch it all the way through. Harmless fun stuff! 🤪

I don’t think it’s all that harmless, and see no humor in it at all. Putting pressure on folks that are green at the ramp is no joke. Could lead to them damaging their boat or harming themselves. The ramp is a high pressure stressful thing for some people. Personally I couldn’t care less if they did that to me but I’d be pissed if I saw that going on at a ramp.
I hope they remember to post the video of that guy getting flattened by someone
Sitting nearby being a ramp ghoul watching the boat ramp follies is quite different than that fiasco.

I live 3 miles from the ramp and avoid every holiday weekend on the water. Too many idiots, nuts, and rude people

Last 4th we were on the water, a drunken load of boaters ran into us intentionally attempting to start a fight
