These are all funny as hell and all sound familiar. I have gotten a few with lil bass boats wanting to race. They ask how fast, when i say only best of 68, they wanna run!!

I say, sure 1 condition.... we race in 3-4's!! That usually does the trick! Lol

Bad a guy pulling a Baja islander ahead of me at the ramp one day. Walks up to my boat and asked how big? Pointed to the 33 outlaw sticker he was staring at. He said wow that boats to big to run here. No it's not we run them here all the time. Him- yes it is. Me- no it's not. Him- I'm telling you it is. Me- ya your right sorry

1. How fast is it?
2. Oh my god, do you have lifejackets? To which I reply: absolutely. It will make it much easier to find the bodies if I crash.:eekdrop:
3. Then they say they DID want a ride, but maybe not so much now.lol
4. Then I tell them my next boat will be much faster and they walk away shaking their heads. :drink::D

Racine Wisconsin:

"are you pulling the boat out?"
"yes, why?"
"oh I was gonna ask for a ride"

A guy with a big posse filming some low budget rap video..

"Yo man, can i use your boat in my video?'

lol

One lady saw the Cig sticker on truck- asked "So you smoke cigs while running in a race" I just said Yes

I still love using the response at the pump to "How much does it take to fill that der big Azz boat up?", and we respond "about 45 mins!!!!

Of late most questions are about buying the boat. Most often after the poker run on Lake Cumberland. One kid in a brand new Duramax crew cab ask the price, I tell him, he says I can by a brand new good boat for that price. Another guy same question tell him and he says something about finding one for 5000 in FLA he comes back to town a few months later with a salt crused Bayliner cabin cruser. Lots of others asking if I would take 10K for it give them a price and they argue with me as to why the price should be 10K.
A few ask why I dont take the boat out I tell them the waves arent big enough for me on these inland lakes.

I like that one

So...you are a 2 pump chump? I got ya beat, I pull up centered between two rows of pumps, rear pump on each side filling up both sponson tanks and one of the front pumps filling up the Dmax...Officially making me a 3 pump chump. About 6 credit card swipes and 20min I am good to go and people are pissy!

"Where can I put this bag of cheese puffs?" "Ah, in the water, those ducks will enjoy them."

That's awesome! Done it. Because of the layout I have to pull between the two rows of pumps blocking four and using one. And using the one on the opposite side of the one I am using for a total of five pumps LOL. As I said I don't do to be a dik. Last station on way to launch and the guys there know me by name.

Q1: What's in the front part?
A1: Sleeping quarters, TV, stereo & a head/bathroom etc.
Q2: How many does it sleep?
Q2: 1 Guy and 5 Chicks; maybe more pending bra size.



As for the gas pumps, both of my fills are next to each other, SB side next to the helm.
I'll pull in tight next to one pump, and grab the hose from the far side and the the near side as well; and stick them in the fill hose.
Then walk inside and look for a senior person to open up both pumps under an open purchase. There are a couple ways they can do it. This is much better than swiping 4-8 times. After 2 swipes, I have my cards shuts down for fraud protection. When you go back inside to pay for both pumps at 1 time, with such a large sum, I usually end up talking my way into a couple free bags of ice or at least a fountain drink.

You go fishin in that thang?
Yes. But I'm picky.
Whatcha keep.....?
Square grouper and breasted lady fish.

I get the usual... How fast....I say fast enough to make it here in half the time it takes you.....And how much gas does it use....I say...I added a degree or two to global warming....

I always get asked where I am going to mount the down riggers... Ok, thats mostly my Dad that asks me that. Funny he always asks me that to get a rise out of me, now that he is in the hospital fighting for his life I hope he is still asking next year...

DUKE, I pray your dad makes it, and if he is that feisty to ask you that just to get a rise out of you I'm sure he will.

Q#1 How fast does that thing go?
Q#2 What engine does it have?

I had two teens mouths wide open ask the big three-- HP/ MPH/ and gallons as they indiscreetly snaped pics of the engines with there cell phones.

I can't believe I never thought of this! Thanks for a great idea!

I have had quite a few owners of other go fast boats that they THOUGHT were fast ask me how fast I was going when they looked like they were going backwards , I usually knock 10-15 mph off the true speed when I tell them which really gets them fired up, nothing like getting a spank from a Baja and then being told I was only going about 80 when they are already convinced there own boat runs triple digits! (speedos LIE):evilb:

I have a friend with a 22' Crownline that insists he runs 96mph even after I went around him with my foot on the dash running in the 70's . Pro charged 454 mag 1" Imco shorty . No gps just happy meter . Forgot to add he had 5 grown men in the boat on one of the 96mph runs......hmmmmm .

Every spring I run mine at the lake a couple miles down the road from my house. A few years back a rather rotund woman screeched " why does your boat have to be so big?" As I realized that I really just heard this, I saw that she was leaning against the NO FISHING sign on the dock of the boat launch. With a line in the water! I told her I had a little d**k. She left immediately!!

Is that a cigar boat...... no its a airplane........some peole r such dumn-asses

I was backing down the ramp at a little lake close to the house (Dillon Lake) and as I was backing the trailer in a guy walks up beside my window and asks if I'm going to put that boat on this lake. Really dude?

I just lost my gramps...I really hope he is there for ya next year!

I get that too...I tell boaters its an '89 and even they cant believe it....the new trailer helps

The gas fills on my boat and the truck are on the same side. It really blows them away when I go to my gas station and fill up the boat and the truck with two pumps running at the same time! lol. Then the "Whoa I wouldnt want that bill!" and "What do you do for a living man!?" comments start coming out. Ive had people stop, back up and take pics with their phones and all kinds of s hit.

The best one was we were out of the truck waiting at the launch ramp, beautiful hot day Susi is running around in her bikini getting stuff out of the truck. This guy about 40 or so comes up and were talking about the boat, nice guy. Out of the corner of my eye I see this smokin hot chick with a great set of bolt on's, a black bikini and long jet black hair walking our way with two ice cream cones....Im trying to check her out while were talking.....then she comes right up and hands the guy one of the ice cream cones, its the guys wife,gf, whatever wow!....Then the guy starts to walk away and says "Ok man, we gotta get going, nice boat!" His wife then leans in real close to me and says in my ear "mmmmmmm nice wife!" and they take off.....I almost did something indecent right there! Daymmm!...I kept my eye out for them in the public park around the ramp to ask them if they wanted a "ride" haha but I never seen them again

Early this season I had some straight-up ghetto rats pull up behind the AT...stereo bumpin', chrome-plated dubs on a beat-ass car, flat brims and saggy pants...that POLITELY ask if they could take pictures of my boat. They got out of the car and a couple of them posed by the transom and took pics...I just stayed out of the shots to complete the illusion that it was theirs. They thanked me and said have a good day. So not ALL people are stoooooopid....

I just had to do a double take at your picture! Your wife looks just like my girlfriend only with shorter hair, not kidding!

Similar.

A guy asked me if I fished with my boat. I said no. He asked if I pulled skiers. I said no. He said "then what DO you do with that boat? I said "haul ass".

My boat certainly isn't the rough water machine that many here are, but I have also had people tell me how their smaller boat is just as fast or faster. I tell them to bring it to LOTO on a summer weekend to show me. No takers yet.

I use the line: I've been hired to aerate the lake to keep the fish alive.

Why so loud: So the fish hear me coming.

In my marina I'm surrounded by sail boats and trawlers, no one talks to me.

My boat has In-Control Foot Throttle and Foot Trim pedals. People ask me all the time what the left pedal is for. I always say "brakes" before I walk away. That leaves them wondering.

We have stayed at Elmwood a couple times, not a real fuzzy feeling staying there. Workers are nice, not much talk between the boaters.

. people ask me that all the time , my answer " haul ass and burn gas "

We have a 90' houseboat & get the similar questions at the gas dock, only to the other extreme. Nobody believes me when I tell them it is powered by a pair of 4.3L v-6's & tops out at 11mph. Then come the bedroom questions: "how many does that thing sleep?" A:16 or more depending on how many people share the 4 bedrooms.

It's like a helicopter only faster. :party-smiley-004:

I am in the Army stationed in Fort Hood. I get a lot of the "You in the Army?" and then followed up by the "What rank are you?" question. People around here are willing to drop 40k on a Stingray, but fail to realize the potential in used boats. The only other one I get is the gas question.

Is must be just up north?? Down here everyone will wave!

I bought my boat in Va this spring, the mechanic rode with us for the sea trial.. as i idled past some bass fishers, I waved and only received stares.. mechanic said they don't like go fasts around there b/c they haul ass every where.. but really i extended the no wake zone and was really far enough away to take off and didn't get so much as a head nod.. even the mechanic questioned why I was waiting..

Well on the way back, I stayed on plane till I got back to the no wake zone.. as I approached the bass boats, the mechanic asked, are you going to slow down? With a straight face, I responded, "no, they didn't wave!"
Then He busted out laughing!

Note: they were hugging the bank in small lake and only caused a little rocking by the time the waves reached them, but I tried to be courteous the first time..
