edit: nevermind, photobucket isn't working for me today. Why can't we post photos on this forum from our phones like we can every other forum on the interwebz?

every a**hole who says one of these things when they find out you own a boat during a conversation-
You know what boat stands for- break out another thousand
you know a boat is just a hole in the water you throw money into
they say the happiest day for a boater is the day they buy their boat and the day they sell it
It really drives me nuts when this happens.

My pet peeves, shoes in the boat, crumbs on the floor, and of course, the **** shows at the launch. Specifically the loading of gear and coolers while blocking the ramp when launching and at the end of the day the morons who do not pull up enough to prepare for going down the road and make it difficult for the next person to position the truck/trailer to retrieve their boat.
As for the trailer hitch dilemma, ...yeah, it'll be in the receiver so watch your step my phriend!

On Lake Norman it is all of the pontoons (sometimes runabouts) running around with docking lights on.
They do this at night too. Super stupid. Big pet peeve for me.
The fenders hanging off the side of the boat at speed is also very popular here.

My new house is just around the corner from the public boat ramp so rather than watching the morning news we just sit on the deck and watch. Every weekend there are fist fights, arguments, trucks blocking people in and cutting people off ... no ramp etiquette.....but it is entertaining.
Sounds like fun!

As I read this I could think of several people who I know do exactly the same. They think boats run on fresh air!
