I live in fear of putting my props on the wrong side, then starting the boat up at the launch, putting it in reverse, and sending it up the ramp like John Candy in The Great Outdoors. I seriously put way too much time into making sure I got that right.

Great story, I can only imagine the look on your wife's face.

To funny, did you at least have the props with you?

Me and my wife once spent hours looking for the second key to a rental car,,,,,,,,, finally gave up and as we were changing to go return the car the key fell out from between her t*ts where I had dropped them!

REminds me of the time I spent an hour and a half pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I had no power to the dash, only to discover the bulb in the test light was dead....

Would have been great for any spectators at the ramp, especially if they noticed there were no props when you backed her in.

I've had a crap day until now. Thanks for the laugh!

I love this post. Perfect explanation of why rushing and boating always end up badly. We've all been there in some degree or another.
