[QUOTE="-CN-, post: 445040, member: 18939"] I was waiting at the launch to load up one day, and a guy who was putting in what looked to be a brand new boat/trailer/motor, forgot to take ONE of the transom straps off. I approached the ramp and couldn't figure out what was going wrong with that guy's boat, sitting so crooked and cock-eyed. He tried driving ahead and bent the bunks and the fender on his trailer cause his boat was sideways. So backed up again nearly filling the boat with water to try to get it to float back in line with the trailer again. While I wish I had a camera for the "boat launch fails" compilations on Youtube, this was not a laughing matter. I felt bad for the guy, and furthermore, his wife had been helping him launch the boat and he was blaming her. He got in the water and started heaving the boat in each direction to get the tension off of the strap while she finally got it unhooked. She jumped in the boat. He went and parked so quickly and then came back and jumped in the boat and took off in such a hurry I thought he was going to bottom out with his new motor or hit something with it. He high-tailed it out of there out of embarrassment I suppose. He didn't even assess the damage first. [/QUOTE]
