    I went I saw, I raced some guy in a Baja on the way home, I hit 70mph but didn`t want to go any faster with 2 kids on board, I don`t think he saw them.. I lost, at 70 he passed me, I trimmed up backed off the tabs but then decided against any faster speeds.. was fun thou



    btw, whats up with people going to get their trailers first then getting the boat of the other Pier.
    I pull in to an open dock only for some stifflers to be like hey were backing our trailer in now. Then they go get the boat
    Since the tow truck matches the black fountain I guess that must be ok then

    On the busy weekends i think they should have some sort of staff on hand to kinda direct traffic. You got people coming out, people coming in, no courtesy whatsoever. I was out there floating last weekend waitin to get a open dock at the ramp, and all these jerks would just decide to go ahead and back up down the ramp and launch. IMO, people coming out should have the right of way. Plus i cant stand the guys who are launching and feel it necessary to put their boat in, tie it up, and take their sweet time going to park the truck, load boat with snacks and coolers, etc while people are waiting to come out.

    Have always been 1 of the biggest PITA of trailer boating there is never enough courtesy to go around. .

    I`m in and out fast! all my $hit is in the boat, ropes, coolers everything ready to go..
    but yeah theres people with open hatches doing who knows what, putting stuff on the boat..etc. but not as bad as the idiots at Jet Ski only launches like Whihalla..
    if you weren`t in a hurry that was always comedy, I had to pull so many people out, they`d go in too deep and get water in their cars or get stuck, or start unhooking in the water etc...
