I'm guessing he's fairly new at boating. Pulled up to eyeball the ramp situation facing towards the water then decided to jump out of the truck for whatever reason and forgot to put the truck in park. See ya. Your day is toast before it even started. Niko's right about the amazing things you see at ramps. I've seen trucks in the water where all you can see are the headlights shining up out. People trying to back the boat off the trailer with the rear tie down straps still on......I could go on and on.
Sometime when you've got nothing to do, sit at a boat ramp on a busy weekend day and watch the show. People line up their lawn chairs in Plymouth and just hang out at the top of the ramp for the day.  |

It is amazing what you see. Half the people take 20-30 mins to launch. The boats start stacking up like the airport. On wide ramps we'll pull down in the middle between the ramps, one guy in the truck,one in the boat, on or off in 2 mins, waving buh bye to lineup needing a dock. |

And your %$%$%$%$ doesn't stink 
Three very experienced guys today, out working on a survey boat, and we did that this morning. we all thought the other guy had done it.
%$%$%$%$ happens. 1200 days on the water at my last renewal, and we all %$%$%$%$ up, period!
That being said, it can be interesting to watch, to say the least!!!  |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

He may be new to boating, but that Whaler is close to 40 years old. By the look of the console it's a Newport, I had one as a kid in the early 70's.
