Jackknifed trailers, forgotten plugs, lower units not lifted, tie downs not removed ....it's all there. Occasionally, someone actually misses the ramp and runs the trailer up over a wall, nearly overturning the boat. I guess it seems a little twisted that people would be entertained by someones misfortune but, after all...........we've all been there.
I have an aquaintence who works at a marina with a ramp and he says he's never seen an activity that causes as many fights between couples as simply lauching and retrieving a boat.
