One night a couple summers ago, I was covering the boat and there was a girl helping me. She said "how do I do this?" I said " Your doing it wrong!"And in I went between the dock and the hydro hoist. Famous last words.

I have no idea if a Baja owners story may even compare. I do have one but I think I will revel in the fact that Cig owners are real people too. Sorry for that pain, but keep the reality coming.

STUPIDEST thing you have ever done, while boating...

Where should I start?

My most embarrassing time was; I just got done tieing up to other boats at a very popular hang out. People everywhere! I was sitting on the bow adjusting a rope. I slipped off the bow of the boat and went overthe side. Only problem my shorts got caught on the cleat and i ended up hanging off the side with the worst weggie in the history of the world. Even worse, I couldn't get myself off so I had to be lifted off. To make it even worse there was a boat with about 20 HOT women 20 feet way. all very sympathetic but I'm sure were laughing their asses off inside!! I was never so mortified in my life!!

I have been there!!! Try this if it happens again.
Hook a rope from the bow eye to the back of the trailor
Make sure trucks in Park with brakes on.
Someone will need to be in the truck.
Put the boat in reverse it really doesn't take much to float.
Then the driver of the truck can pull forward just enough to get the wheels back on the ramp.
It's worth a try!!! :drink:

Buying a different boat after each divorce

It wasnt enough that i was going broke from the divorce but to ad insult to injury i would buy a new (Bigger Boat ) to make me feel better

Did i say I have been divorced 3 times??

Both buying the boats and being divorced that many times qualifies me for STUPIDEST (Most stupid)

This marriage doesn't work i will just kill my self
