[QUOTE="Lil' Blue Rude, post: 409290, member: 4627"] I second this! I will say there are a few good ones that know about a jet boat and want you to blow by them on plane and realize that some time you need to stay on plane to keep from hitting. Others come down to our back yard from St. Louis or Illinois for their one day of getting plastered (no offense to any one on here) and think they own the place and can tell us what we can and can't do. What really makes me mad is a local canoe rental place has started using the public boat ramp to pull canoers out and they park right in the way to were us jet boaters can't even pull up to the bank let alone get our trailers back in to load are boats. Canoes all over the middle of the ramp canoes strung up both sides of the ramp and drunks every were. The bad part is there a huge gravel bar not 200yrds up river that another canoe rental uses to pull out at. There's plenty of room for both of them to pull out and heaven forbid you even think of putting you boat in up there. A guys boat broke down and he was already at that upper gravel bar so he just walked down to his truck and loaded his boat up there and you'd thought it was the end of the world. Don't even get me started on the girls that tried to hit me with a handful of gravel when I was riding on day. She wasn't even in a canoe! Needless to say Van Buren, Mo is NOT hot boat friendly and I will never boat ride there again. [/QUOTE]
