thanks guys, as a newbie to boating I really don't look forward to being ridiculed at the ramp.

No worse than the ridicule on this board....
Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Practice/launch on a weekday.


It was the freakin launch ramps antics...(yelling, guys cutting ahead of others, even had a guy walk through my boat to get on land cause the docks were full, and a 3 hour wait one Saturday when it started raining with the family on board) that made me get a slip.

Never looked back, but I do miss the crazy ramp stuff when it happens to others

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

Jumped into the Ct. River at Old Saybrook once to put a plug in for a guy who had no clue.....his boat was quickly filling and he didn't know what to do!! "Whataya mean plug?" He ran to get his trailer so I calmly grabbed one of my 4 spare plugs and jumped in......Then showed his wife where the auto/manual bilge switch was....float was stuck.
By the time he had his trailer in line (6 trailers long) his boat was almost empty.

I caught a 40 that day along with a ton of fun 15+ lb Bloos

Karma.....but I still laughed my a$$ off as I pulled away from the dock

Boat ramps can be a great source of entertainment...almost like reality TV but in reality!

There has got to be a book worth of outrageous trailer stories.
