Very embarrasing - be careful
 
Just a word of caution - every boat does not have the same grip on their swim platform!!!Sunday I was not being careful and climbed onto the back of our friends boat. Their swim platform does not have as much grip as ours and a wave hit the back at the same time, add a couple of beers; you can figure out what happened.:o Fell, hit my chin on the platform and now it's bruised and hurts like a SOB!!!!:p :D :D

:eek: You're lucky that's all that happened. Being that close to your face , a whole lot more damage could have been done. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery:D

:eek: Ouch!! :eek: Your lucky you didn't end up with stitches. Hope it feels better soon.

Red Stripe 09-09-2002 09:21 PM

OUCH!!

Be careful out there!!:D

nautigirl 09-09-2002 09:21 PM

It's not too bad at all - I think the only thing that got seriously hurt was my pride!! Boy I felt like a jackass!!!! But if I had known how un-grippy it was I would've held on to the rail or something!!!:p :D

Ya did the same thing I got a glass step with grip and he has a wood step with slime:D I bruised the inside of my leg. PURPLE:eek:

At least only your pride was hurt I have two sets of props one set is so thin that they can cut very easy just be glad no stiches were needed. And you can blame that bruse on some one else:p

Tinkerer 09-09-2002 10:01 PM

OUCH--

At LOTO my wife was swimming behind the boat and kicked one of the props. BIG BRUISE. Thank GOD the unlabbed 28's were on and not the labbed 26's.

I took a spill this weekend too. I was leaning off the bow, looping a line around a piling. I lost my balance, and tried to swing around the piling onto the boat in the next slip. IT WAS UGLY! I bounced/slid right down into the water. I have abrasions on my ear, arm, and thigh, and I finally got all the splinters out. I won't pull that one again.

I feel your chin and pride pain!

bajadude 09-09-2002 10:41 PM

Ditto for me. I was getting out of the and didn't have the drives straight. Nice gouge out of my chin (in the shape of a prop blade).

Not enough skin left to stitch:D:eek:

R Addiction 09-09-2002 11:55 PM

OUCH!! Glad you're OK. We have a very slippery swim platform also, I want to take it off this winter and have the color changed and add some grip. Just another little project to make the winter go by a little faster!! :D

BURNSMAZZ 09-10-2002 07:02 AM

Damn you're lucky you didn't chip some teeth,or bite your tongue that would have really sucked.

WARPAINT 09-10-2002 07:29 AM

I hope you didnt hurt the swim platform.;)

nautigirl 09-10-2002 09:50 AM

Geez Warpaint - didn't think I was THAT fat!! Swim platform was ok!:p ;) :D :D

ROUGH WATER 09-13-2002 08:53 AM

the only thing that hurts worse than that is leaning up on the dash finishing a nice big gulp of icehouse just in time to watch one of your female gests do the exact same thing on your boat, damm that looked like it hurt, the look on her face was total shock, it felt like someone hit the boat with a hammer, the hair stands up on the back of your neck and you instantly wish it was you instead,

R Addiction 09-13-2002 09:37 AM

Nauti, Warpaint is like that. Thats the reason he has no friends.;) Then again he may be talking about his swim platform.:rolleyes: :)
