hell at the boat ramp

[swamped]

on saturday my dad droped me at the boat ramp and just as i was leaving i herd a massive crash. i looked bak and i wake board boat had came off its trailer because the driver had slamed on the brakes :o. the boat was a brand new supra wakeboard boat and it was that new that it had never been in the water,(well it was going to be). it would have easly been $100 000.oo

the rudder was bent, the prop was bent and scraped, and the hull was damaged. it happend at wallys warf (dolans bay boat ramp)

they ment the safety chain for the boat not the trailer #::) ::)

Just happened to be readying my rig for a trip on Sat at Mooloolaba when someone had a misshap on the ramp near us :o
Pic courtessy of Heath. They couldn't get it back on the trailer so they shoved it into the water with the trailer then pulled her back out :'(

Swamped, :-?

Sometimes it pays to know what you are talking about before you attempt to belittle others. >:(

Seahorse is referring to the safety chain that attaches to the bow eye of the boat in conjunction with the winch cable. :-[

(pictures available if it will help you) 8-)

He wasn't referring to the trailer safetry chains at all. ::)

At least you have worked out what smiley goes where - well done. ;D

Swamped,

You see some funny things at boat ramps. And someone learning from there mistakes is in a sick kind of way funny as long as it's not you?

There is 2 safety chains one from car to trailer an another from trailer to boat it's just below the winch, I think thats the one the guys were refering too.

Just ask questions if your not sure you'll make more friend and learn more that way.

Jesus guys, don't fire up Marls, there's a lot of pent up frustration over a certain Volvo extension leg at the moment!! [smiley=angryfire.gif] [smiley=angryfire.gif] [smiley=angryfire.gif]

Lol ... the leg dramas, and the aching tooth, and the lack of sleep 'cos bubby is sick, and a zero tolerance of newbies upsetting my mate Seahorse ... it all just gets too much for the Marlin sometimes [smiley=wut.gif]

And that chicken is starting to $hit me too ;D

Cheers

Pete ;)
