Re: Quickest way to sink a boat?
You could let me move it in my driveway by hand.......Yesterday I was moving my boat in my driveway by hand. Luckily my 11 yo was out there, (more on that later). I turned the boat around to let the sun dry out the back side when suddenly it started rolling, right toward my neighbors new addition! (I live on a bit of a hill). Off it goes at about 2.5 mph, backwards, swaying side to side. I yell, "Josh get the wheel blocks", to which he grabs and then runs down the hill. I am "trotting" backwards behind (in front) of the boat trying to slow it down, and then I tell Josh drop the block behind the wheel. He does and presto, it stops dead in it's tracks.......<br /><br />I get in the truck, hook it up and move it back up to "my driveway", and before I even have it parked my neighbor pulls in and she says, "hey guys, getting any fishin' done"?.........<br /><br />Josh and I leave to take the boat for a spin (I had just regreased the wheel bearings), and the car ride is really quiet. We both suddenly burst out laughing at my mistake. I then say to Josh, "what do you think Cathy would have said if she pulled in and saw our boat sticking out of her living room,? AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH what the hell is your boat doing in my house?!?!?!?!?!".......I told Josh I would have looked at him and said, "dude, what'd you do"??????hehehehehehehehe.<br /><br />Wer'e both still chuckling today.......

<br /><br />I Wish I'd been Fishing all week,..........<br /><br />I went to Old Town Maine for the Old Town Canoe, factory Scratch,+ Dent Sale......<br />We bought 41 boats to resell on the front lawn..... <br />I used to do this every year, till a Dealer about an hour away decided that I was cutting into His business,+ had me barred from the Factory Sales.......<br />Well,... Now He's Gone,+ My Sweetie is now in the Canoe business............<br />Here's a shot of the 1st load,.... I Know I could have gotten All 41 onto 1 load,.. <br />But, Deb didn't think she could drive her Jeep with 3 on the roof.........<br />There's 33 boats in this load,..... I went back,+ got the other 8........<br /><br />
