Love the chevy van coming out at 0:50 mark with the windshield wipers going.

Dang, those never get old.  Hilarious.  One of the main reasons I now keep my boat in the Everett Marina now.  I don't think I have enough strength in my fingers to type out all the episodes I've witnessed at the 10th street launch up there.  Have you ever seen someone try to launch a 35 footer with a pickup?  I had to stick around for that one.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Reminds of this episode.


  1:11 is my favorite part!

I've had my antics but the majority were when I just started and I did a lot of launching my boat in January and February.  Most the looks I got were more like why the hell would you be going out on the river right now!

Oh man......saturday afternoon... everett launch.  Im solo....no problem. The problem is the idiots taking up the entire launch lane to remove the boat. Nope nope nope. I backed down, said move it back to the end or to a remove lane. Oh you didn't see the huge signs.... .nmp....move. You can afford the boat and truck to pull it I assume you can read!!!!!!!!!

Always a good time. I once launched the 3 boats in front of me at the old Snohomish launch after boat 1 spent 5 minutes doing his best to impersonate Peter Griffin in the previous post. The 2nd guy tried twice and asked if I'd help. The 3rd guy didn't even try.

I have assisted a few times as well.  A couple times for bikini wearing young ladies who's other half told them they could do it with never trying so they could drive onto the trailer.  I avoid this situation when my wife is with me for obvious reason.  Although I did train my wife and she backs down just fine. 

I am guilty of going to a local ramp on the first hot weekend in late afternoon / evening with an iced coffee and just watching as well.  Alcohol, boating, ramps, fights - reality TV go nothing on it!
