Geeze I always miss out on seeing all the good stuff .
I rekon that one could sit at the boat ramp and write a pretty funny book on the events some days .
By the look of it there will be one less jet ski to worry about for a bit .
Heh Heh , Reel

How did he drop his car in, not like the jetski is that heavy ? I launch my 4.3metre tinie from a suzuki jimny and it worries me that I could go down the drink. Feel beter knowing someone did itwith a jet ski.

funniest launch I've seen was at jacobs well. Three blokes (& I think the bundy bear may have been involved) reversing a boat in.

Driver yells out 3/4 way down to the water the motor stands still on, the other two guys try to remove it with much swearing but can't, the driver jumps out cursing & removes it realises the tie downs are still on & removes them ...

(this is where it starts to get good)

they then proceed to launch the thing, only when its at the point where it about to tip off the trailer does the driver realise theres dry concrete under the motor & lets out a yell (thats when I look around).

Theres two blokes on their tipitoes holding a loaded 18ft boat thats trying hard to tip - rather than do the sensible thing and reconnect the winch cable the driver hops in the car & reverses, with the cantilevered friends waltzing on tipitoes down to the water - a 15m dance. They ended up launching without a scratch to the donk - just some red faces. Lucky it was mid week or they would have entertained a crowd of a hundred.
