If they did that one in the 2nd video every week in a stadium they could sell millions of tickets. WTF

Again hot shot, on a boat we call them lines or dock lines, but I am willing to let that one slide. The buoy one just gets to me.... If you are going to try and be a hot shot "EXPERT" at least have your marine termanology right!!

Just think we share the water ways with these idiots.

Our slip at the Marina where our lift is at is maybe 50-75 yards facing what is supposed to be a 3 lane ramp. We ALWAYS try to be back to the slip regardless of what's happening at the sandbars just to have our dock chairs out by 5:00 p.m to watch the show. Some of the stuff we have seen over the years most would not believe.

you should mount/point a low budget internet cam and get a live stream. I'd log into watch on a rainy day...

These are the same clowns that see our boats and go on and on about how dangerous they are etc...

I cant count how many people have asked how I can load or unload my boat so easy, Its all in the prep. Your either ready to launch or ready to hook up. I've made a bunch of mistakes in the past & will own up to them. But I learned from said mistakes so I know what not to do.
