I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I just by chance did not put my boat in the water today because I wanted to hang out at the beach and drink some beers!!!! I got word from my friends that stopped by the beach that the sheriff was on the water looking for my boat because they had 5-6 complaints about it. None of them threw me in , but they said they would track me down! the complaints ranged from, me swamping a conou with my wake due to my high rate of speed, to almost hitting some people on a tube, to driving recklessly!
First off the boat throws no wake! and even though I drive fast I am very considerate of other boaters. I never would put someone else at risk! what we have here is a bunch of old phucks in there pontoon boats that think that they own the river I grew up on.
A buddy of mine was talking to the sheriff earlier today and he said he was going to give me a ticket for reckless endangerment , even if he did not catch me doing anything. I don't think this is right because there is nothing reckless about operating a boat at high speed if it is done in a safe manner.
What should I do?

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Find the head guy and explain your deal. Sounds like they have it in for you!

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

sell the boat :eek:








































Just kidding!!! :D

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Be proactive and give the supervisor a call, explain your side, about all you can do. Offer to do a demo if need be to show them your wake size. Have you had any dockside run ins with any of the complainees? Are they just haters?

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

So,were you raising hell on your boat yesterday and just happened to not go boating today and all of a suddenn they are looking for you?? Your story sounds like your leaving out some tiny details,people don't generally complain to the law unless you did something,they are too lazy and its too much trouble,Smitty

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I am usually on the water, I just happened not to be yesterday. The onlything I am guilty of is driving fast!!!!

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Tiny details like how many beers!

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Yeah, thats A big wake maker!!!!!!!!!!! The wake wouldnt swamp a boat but I bet the rooster could!!!
Good luck,
Jr.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I would go directly to them as soon as possible and not wait for them to come to you...

A couple weekends ago I was heading to shore at the same time a car ferry was leaving port. In my opinion I was well out of his way. He didn't think so, he hit his horn three times and then as the ferry side was at my side he yelled out the window "I'll see you in court." I called a friend that works at the ferry to find the captains name. I then called him directly and worked everything out over the phone. Felt much better.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Huge, go directly to the cops. You are entitled to the names of your accusers aren't you? Find out the exact complaints against you. Explain your side and if they still wanna get uppity, hire a lawyer and go after them for harrasement.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Be proactive and go to the Sherriffs before they find you. They are going to find you eventually anyways

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I had the same problem with our water patrol. They kept telling everybody they were looking for me. Well the best defense is a good offense! The next time I was out I pulled right up to them and asked what the deal was and what I did. They kissed my butt and said everything was fine. Be sure to do that before you get into the beer though!

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Just take the witnesses that were in your boat to court with you, as well as any other go fast boaters that were running with you. If they ticket you and you have no witnesses to give your account of what happened, you are screwed. This will also keep the water patrol from believing everything the pontooners say from then on.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Swamp the patrol boat. If your going to get a ticket anyway, you might as well do something to earn it !!!!!!!!!

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

PAINT IT PINK :drink:
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS YOU NEED TO CONTACT WATER PATROL TO GIVE THEM YOUR SIDE AND KEEP A RECORD OF IT SO IF IT TURNS INTO A HARASSMENT CASE YOU CAN PROVE YOUR CASE. I WOULD ALSO LET THEM KNOW THATS WHAT YOU ARE DOING ,SO THEY ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING BEFORE THEY DO IT.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I don't see how they could ticket you if they don't witness the offense, period.

Sounds like one of your buddies might be playing a practical joke. Happened to me several times when I had my jet boat.

Sill it's a good idea to check in with the patrol.

I'm fortunate in that most of the water patrol launches from our civic club ramp free of charge, the same one that I mow and maintain, so I make a point of getting to at least know their names.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Sounds like it's time for a new boat :evilb: :evilb: . Then sell your old one to your worst enemy :D :D :D

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Urinate those beers into the old dudes gas tank.....if he can't boat he can't complain :evilb: :evilb: :evilb: :drink:

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I will trade the boat for a vette or an sl500, or just sell it outright for $27,900. Check boattrader, that is 1000 less than what it is listed for there, just for you guys cuz I love ya! :D:D:D

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

yo huge dont be a puzzy and turn the other cheek by selling your ride dude!

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

He's not leaving anything out. I'm on that boat with him 90% of the time its in the water, and yes, he drives it fast, but NOT around tubes or canoes etc. We have a couple of real pains in the azz on the river that see his roster tail, and hear that outboard, and are probably getting pissy.

Believe me, and you can ask Hugetime, when I think he's going to fast I tell him. plus I am always watching for anything that we need to slow down for. If he was unsafe around other boats, I'd tell him, plus I wouldn't be near that boat.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Right on!!!




But I will give ya 500 hundred bucks for that MARKED anoying little boat :D :D

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I was selling it before this happened, I want a sports car and a couple of jet ski's

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Sounds like a scam to have a boat for sale in GD for a while to me:rolleyes:

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Huge, What river are you on? Doug

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I don't know what you mean????

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

the upper hudson

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

:evilb: What I'm saying is he wasn't even out on his boat and all of a sudden the cops are looking for him with multiple complaints,there must be sometime earlier or something he did the day before that the complaintints (might be baseless,I wasn't there) thought he was doing wrong. I have 2 teenage boys,19 and 21, if they came to me and say " We were driving around yesterday and today all our friends say the cops are looking for us because several people, for no reason :rolleyes: , are pressing charges on us but we never did anything,just letting you know in case the cops come knocking on the door" I would want to know what the not doing anything entailed :evilb: . I do understand old pricks get there pantys up in a bunch over trivial bs. My buddie had one of them little clown boats with a 500 hp motor and over the transom headers,we dunked it in a little 1/2 sq mile lake his mom lives on and made a half dozen laps,more than one person told us they "were calling the law",we never went too close to anyone or violated any laws. Before we knew it the sherrifs dept , DNR plus home owners association were at his moms house thinking they could run us off. They told us "we had several complaints",we responded for what?? Basically,they were old and had never seen a boat like that on their lake and didn't like the whole idea of it. The law checked the registration,our safety equipment,tested the noise from the exhaust (we weren't running mufflers but put them back on before they got there :evilb: ),told us we were 100% legal and that the lake had no restrictions,said have fun and left!!!I proceeded to make a couple victory laps just to show the cops did nothing then my buddie (old navy on here) puzzed out and said lets put it on the trailer so no one gets mad. If it was my boat I would have ran it for six more hours just to punish the neigbors :evilb: :evilb: but it wasn't mine.
Maybe your running into the same situation,Smitty

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

We got hassled yesterday. There was 6 of us running, they saw the helmets and asked to see our race permit. "We're not racing, we are not race boats." "Well it looks like your racing....." Then they said they were getting a lot of complaints from home owners about wakes. Then they stopped each and every one of us to bust balls and write tickets about flame arrestors, fire extinguishers, throwable cushins, licenses....you name it. They didn't stop the entire pack at once, just picked us off one at a time with the same crap.

Geeze, we weren't even going that fast :rolleyes:

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I made twice the wake your boats do running around trying to get some good pics of you! The flame arestor is an old one. They use that all the time.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I was thinking the same thing, Rob. :drink:

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Let us know how it turns out...

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Articfriends,

I was on the boat with him the day before. Testing motor height. we did 4 speed runs, in 2 sections of the river where there is a clear path, and you can see. This is NOT a boat that will turn at 100 mph, so we don't run it hard where the river curves, or around other boats. Then it sat at the dock the rest of the day, until we put it on the trailer, and by then, there was no one left on the river because it was getting ready to rain.

The Hudson divides 2 counties here, and so both counties send out there patrol boats every once in a while.(2 times this summer) A couple of weeks ago, we went past the OTHER counties patrol boat at 90++, and they never blinked an eye. Its not like they couldn't have come after us if there was a problem. Its only a 7 mile stretch of river between a dam, and rapids, so we can't run and hide anywhere.

If I had to guess, with about 90% certainty, I probably know who it is, as she lives in the county that was looking for him. This b itch has reported so many people for so many things, that the local town won't even answer her calls anymore. She live on the river in a dump house that is covered in tar paper, and she will complain if someone cuts their grass and it gets into the river. I can see her calling the county, and saying that hugetime did this and this and this. She happenes to live on a stretch we run on, because its straight/wide, and has little or no boat traffic.

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Throw her a bang... She'll lighten up. :drink:

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I'll show you her house if you want. They don't make enough booze or money for that. Only bang she would understand is from a 12 gage

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

Duke I have decided to punch her in her neck!!!!!!!

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

I'm sure there are other here that would pay you for that. :drink: :evilb:

Re: I need help!!!!! They are out to get me!!!!
 

At the risk of sounding like an impertinent snob, I will attempt to humbly set forth a brief précis of Mrs. Dorathy Nevins's most treasonous paroxysms in hopes of convincing you, the reader, to help unmask Dorathy's true face and intentions in regard to larrikinism. For starters, Dorathy is firmly convinced that two wrongs make a right. Her belief is controverted, however, by the weight of the evidence indicating that when it comes to Dorathy's positions, I unequivocally claim that we have drifted along for too long in a state of blissful denial and outright complacency. It's time to express our concerns about her stuck-up suggestions. The sooner we do that, the better, because Dorathy wants to waste everyone else's time. You know what groups have historically wanted to do the same thing? Fascists and Nazis. Dorathy claims that she can achieve her goals by friendly and moral conduct. Predictably, she cites no hard data for that claim. This is because no such data exist.

Regardless of the theoretical beauty of the notion that Dorathy's intimates seem to insist that she can do no wrong, there is the opposing fact that the point is that if everyone spent just five minutes a day thinking about ways to denounce those who claim that she is a bearer and agent of the Creator's purpose, we'd all be a lot better off. Is five minutes a day too much to ask for the promise of a better tomorrow? I sure hope not, but then again, it seems that no one else is telling you that I leave open the question of the extent to which this discussion could be applied to nutty smut peddlers. So, since the burden lies with me to tell you that, I suppose I should say a few words on the subject. To begin with, to get even the simplest message into the consciousness of unpleasant wheeler-dealers, it has to be repeated at least 50 times. Now, I don't want to insult your intelligence by telling you the following 50 times, but Dorathy pompously claims that her excuses prevent smallpox. That sort of nonsense impresses many people, unfortunately. Dorathy's shenanigans have caused widespread social alienation, and from this alienation a thousand social pathologies have sprung. Dorathy's reinterpretations of historic events have paid off: Already, Dorathy has had some success in her efforts to render unspeakable and unthinkable whole categories of beliefs about power.

It is imprudent and more than pigheaded to believe that Dorathy's accusations are Holy Writ. What's my problem, then? Allow me to present it in the form of a question: Does Dorathy believe, deep in the adytum of her own mind, that my bitterness at her is merely the latent projection of libidinal energy stemming from self-induced anguish? No, don't guess; this isn't audience participation day. I'll just tell you. But before I do, you should note that I correctly predicted that she would blend together obscurantism and nonrepresentationalism in a train wreck of monumental proportions. Alas, I didn't think she'd do that so effectively -- or so soon. She has certainly never given evidence of thinking extensively. Or at all, for that matter. Dorathy believes that you and I are inferior to lackluster sensualists of one sort or another. That's just wrong. She further believes that she is the way, the truth, and the light. Wrong again!

From what I understand, one of the great mysteries of modern life is, Why does the media consistently refuse to acknowledge that Dorathy's reports are propaganda to the point of comedy and are so easily refuted as to render them useless even as such? That is, what is it about our society that makes effrontive, hypocritical wisenheimers like Dorathy desire to organize a whispering campaign against me? Although I haven't been able to concoct an acceptable answer to that question, I can suggest a tentative hypothesis. My hypothesis is that there's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I believe, there's a time to provide an atmosphere of mutual respect, free from chauvinism, autism, and all other forms of prejudice and intolerance. Or, to put it less poetically, Dorathy's secret passion is to defend voyeurism, post-structuralism, and notions of racial superiority. For shame! I stand by what I've written before, that one of history's clearest lessons is that Dorathy is doing some serious mau-mauing. If you find that fact distressing then you should help me keep our courage up. Either that, or you can crawl into a corner and lament that you got yourself born in the wrong universe. Don't expect your sobbing to do much good, however, because Dorathy writes a lot of long statements that mean practically nothing. What's sneaky is that she constructs those statements in such a way that it never occurs to her readers to analyze them. Analysis would almost certainly indicate that Dorathy once tried convincing me that she should be a given a direct pipeline to the National Treasury. Does she think I was born yesterday? I mean, it seems pretty obvious that Dorathy's thesis is that imperialism can quell the hatred and disorder in our society. That's absolutely putrid, you say? Good; that means you're finally catching on. The next step is to observe that I myself do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with Dorathy. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I get the facts out in the hope that somebody else will do something to solve the problem. I, not being one of the many unbalanced big-mouths of this world, can certainly suggest how Dorathy ought to behave. Ultimately, however, the burden of acting with moral rectitude lies with Dorathy herself. Though I am not a proponent of conflict, it's easy for us to shake our heads at her foolishness and cowardice. It's easy for us to exclaim that we should make the world safe for democracy. It's easy for us to say, "Dorathy's fixation with the most disingenuous Luddites I've ever seen is scornful." The point is that it's easy for us to say these things because Dorathy should work with us, not step in at the eleventh hour and hog all the glory.

Dorathy claims to have turned over a new leaf shortly after getting caught trying to assail all that is holy. This claim is an outright lie that is still being circulated by Dorathy's secret agents. The truth is that Dorathy has been known to say that the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs -- or maybe even chocolate. That notion is so fastidious, I hardly know where to begin refuting it. Her cop-outs express themselves in thousandfold manifestations, with one of Dorathy's mercenaries in despair and hopelessness, with another in ill will, anger, and indignation, with these quixotic freeloaders in indifference, and with those in furious excesses. Mrs. Dorathy Nevins faces moral disaster in her neighborhood, political disaster in her country, and an impending world catastrophe with a blank and smiling countenance. And that's all I have to say.

with all the BS out of the post, hugetime did actually post the REAL name of the b itch on the river. :evilb:
