I think he should turn his idle up a little more

Bahahahahahaha!!!!!

I've done plenty of stupid stuff in my day but the look on his face when the boat is walking sideways and slams the dock is priceless. Dazed and confused for sure.

If you are the camera guy put down the camera and tell the guy he is still attached to the dock, clearly you could see he was getting ready to leave. If you are the owner, pay attention to your lines and then be prepared to unhook the lines yourself, don't assume anyone else is going to help you!

Finally watched it.

The camera guy !

Come on, all of us have been around boats for a long time. How many times have we noticed something like that and helped out ? People having a hard time docking and what not.

That's what we do.

We care about the boats.

We watch and make sure nothing bad happens while we are around to see it.

SB, like i said from the beginning...lame. Not even worth posting. Wasted another 5 min of my life. I still think he need to turn his idle up.

Flush this damn thread. This is a God Damn winter topic.

X 1000 !!!

I finally watched it and expected something major. LOL.

Thank god no one video'd a buddy who's Bravo clutch locked up and could not get out of gear. He had to dock in a current and slammed his boat hardcore into the dock. He is a killer good driver too. Poor boat !

Should have seen the people at the dock. We yelled for them to move and watch out just in case.

But....it's not on the internet, not video taped, so again I am probably lying cause it never happened. LOL.

Or me with my bud at a launch ramp with great running 525s...one wouldnt start, peeps at the ramp are getting pissed. Only took 20min to figure out we needed to bump the port gear shift a 1/16th".
