Fireworks on Boat?
 

I say No Way, No How!!!

I think it's a bad idea, but every year around this time, I see all kinds of people on all kinds of boats launching fireworks from their boats.

First, I would imagine, that hot sparks and burning embers would make a hell of a mess and create burns.

Second, it could be dangerous depending on where they may land--like in someone else's boat.

Last year, we were rafted up in a crowded anchorage waiting for the bands to play and I was dreading being bombed.

Anyone pull it off successfully?

Have fun and be careful out there this weekend!

Thats a big 10-4 on the HELL NO!


fuel fill tube makes a hell of a bollte rocket launcher:eek:

the bottle rocket wont be the only boom heard though:rolleyes:

YA thats exactly what you need is burn holes in your upohlstry, and miss another half year of boating:rolleyes: :eek:
The only fireworks in my boat go on in the cabin;)

I bet that "lady finger" does some real damage......... :D:D;)

Only a fool could be so stupid. I can't even imagine how you would go about explaining that to your insurance agent:eek: :eek:

Yet, there are so many of them out there! :mad:

DNR could probably get you for using a distress signal when there is no emergency also.

Light fireworks on boat?
Only when fishing!!:p
1/4 stick in water = fish in net with a fraction of the time wasted :D



I've seen bottle rockets and crap launched off boats, but I wouldn't want any part of it. I'll ream people out for lighting a 'cancer stick' while on my boat!

Why not I would lauch them right off your engine hatch!!!!!!:D :D :D

OR GET A MOTOR FROM BLOWN 1500 !!!! IT WILL SHOOT DUCKS ,SMOKE MULTI COLOR ,, SHOOT SPARKS AND WHISTLERS OUT THE HEADERS ,AND GIVE YOU A REASON TO GET DRUNK :D :D :D na ,,HE DOES GREAT REALLY I'M GOING TO HAVE A FIRECRACKER PUT IN A BAD PLACE FOR THIS POST,,HE'S A BIG HELP WHEN HE'S OFF THE BLACK TAR HERION :D :D :D :D

LOL bobby! :D

Hell no, which sucks because I have some good ones this year. I do take a handfulof waterproof firecrackers. They go off right in the water.

Ok guys and girls. totally off topic. I've owned three Baja 24 Outlaws, all with 454's from 310 HP to 385 Mag. Question: I'm considering buying a 97 Outlaw with a 385 Mag with a pro charger turning a 28 pitch SS prop. I'm advised the boat can handle that kind of HP. Any comments? Thanks in advance.

:drink: Buy the white testing flares and blast them out of the 12 gauge flare gun. They are legal. Or do the beer can in water and pump-off the .357 with Ted Nugent blaring :drink:

bluemut,

Welcome to the board.

You might try posting your question in the Baja forum. Probably get a lot better response than asking on a 'Fireworks on boat' topic. :eek: :drink:

Yes, we take the plugs out of the engine, they make great bottle rocket holders, except for a few cylinders where the piston is too high but I have 2 engines and that makes up for it. :eek: SOMEONE SHOOT ME NOW :blaster: What a joke, if I was even within 30 yards of an idiot like this he would be asked once, told the next time and then doused with water from the water cannon I have. Thats as funny as a Submarine with a screen door. :rolleyes:

I had a fit when the boat was on the trailer and some dumb*ss with 15.00 worth of fireworks started shooting them everywhere.

Fireworks were pretty cool when I was 12. Not so much these days.

Bluemut: Welcome to the board...drop the 24.95 and then you can post threads.
Plus you can look at the pics. (And even visit the Baja owner's forum)
For 49.95, I think you can still get the Freeze Frame DVD which won't play in your system.
With three 24 Outlaws behind you, you are probably the 24 Outlaw expert.
Boats never object to more horsepower.
It's girlfriends and outdrives that can get a little problematic about it.

Too be safe, first I flood the boat with about 8 inches of water, to prevent any sparks from igniting, then I remove the docking lights. Now I can just aim the rockets in any direction by steering the boat around, while my buddy shoots them out of the front holes. works like a charm.. Its a real crowd pleaser..!! :D

My brothers buddy bought a new pontoon boat 1 month old and parked in front of his house on the dock. Shot off fireworks all night, next morning $1600 in cushion damage. ohch. His wife wasn't too pissed, yeah right! NO FIREWORKS!
