Done. I haven't got any watercraft but I can understand the frustration of many of you guys. Most of the time those places are mess

Reverse in, tilt motor up so prop is just in the water, full throttle for 2 seconds and watch them all run off soaking wet.... Either that or just drive straight in, tie up and give them a serve of their own language

That's gold....need to add that to Wooly's boat ramp etiquette flyer.
A couple of months ago after reversing back down the ramp, I went back to the jetty to find a couple of non-English speaking tourists taking happy snaps aboard the boat...got any tips for next time that happens?

Yep, in the boat...and to top it off I had left my 6 year old in there whilst I went back to grab the car (yeah, bad form....wont be winning dad of the year for that one) To add insult to injury, one of them used the aerial as a grab rail on the way off.
*Lesson for the day everyone...Don't leave your kids unsupervised ever!

If it were me I think I would have blown a head gasket knowing my kid is in the boat.. and the camera would have to be surgically removed.

Why did you think they were Asian?! When I saw people in the boat, I got that awful surge of adrenaline and broke into a sprint whilst adjusting the car keys into my fist like a knuckle duster. It was a huge relief to see they were only taking photos and not abducting my little deckie and I asked them nicely to get off....they were all smiles and very oblivious....oh yeah, they were Asian
