So my wife and I are at Desert Storm. We launch and retrieve at a lot of different ramps, lake and ocean. My wife is in the truck waiting her turn to back in to pick up me in the boat at the Nautical Inn ramp. She is in the normal line up spot and next to go. Some guy pulls up and starts to pass her. As he gets along side he sees her looking at him like WTF? He stops and gets out and comes over to her window and says "Are you waiting to pick up a boat" She says Yea. He says, well I didn't know because your lights aren't on. She says " Never heard of that".

In 40 years of boating, I have never heard of nor seen this at any ramp in California, Arizona or Nevada.

Has anyone else ever heard of turning on your truck/trailer lights to let others know your picking up a boat?

Not a big deal, the guy was nice to her, just curious if this is normal at some ramps.......like ones I've never been too!

Thats a new one to me, but I boat in TX.

I would think being in line with an empty trailer would be a clear enough indicator of picking up a boat

i would have said i was wating to get my burger&fries

He must hang out at the after hours rave parties with all the lights going. Never heard of that.

WTF?? She should have gotten out of the truck and beat the livin' $hit out of him just for being a dumb a$$!!

Never herd that one,,here in chicago if someone were to cut in front of you whyle waiting in line to pull your boat out we phuckin ram them until we feel fit that he aint going no where...end of story..

I've even launched at the nautical before and never heard of this.

So this is getting kinda fun. CA, AZ, NV, TX, IL, OH, MI, NY. 42 states to go. Lets see if we can get all 50 states to weigh in on this. Hell, lets throw in DC and Puerto Rico.

This guy has to live somewhere!

add WA, 41 to go.
