at my ramp: people putting thier boats into the water in the OUT ramp... and vice versa.
And what grinds my gears the most...boater putting on their trailer tie-downs while still in the ramp...you can do that outside of the ramp!

Add to that...
The bad behavior and loud music played by some knuckle heads w/boats & jet-skis
Especially the younger guys...
Oh yeah...The littering pisses me off as well...

i've got a pretty good system going where I will back the boat down the ramp with my brother in it, he cruises around then picks me up once I park the truck. and when we come in the same thing, he drops me off and cruises then we load the boat on the trailer. all in all about 30 seconds on the ramp. what I do not understand is why people insist on not only getting the boat ready on the ramp, but when someone is pulling it out to stop on the ramp and put the straps on, that is what the parking lot is for. There really should be a list of rules at ever ramp and fines for idiots

How should it work when I am the only one capable of driving the boat and parking the truck? (Not that I am saying I am the only one capable of doing these things, but just that the people on the boat don't have a clue how to do either) I haven't had any problems as of yet but want to know the proper way to handle it if any come along.
