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

Re: Boat Ramps
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 languagetracks wrote:Great to see some moment regarding ramps, I've complained several time to the council regarding the warmies boat ramp parking and access, you get cars (no trailers) parking along the prep lane who leave their cars while they go fishing along the approach to the power station, also the pontoons get crowed with fishos, I've called out many times for them to move as I launch or recover and have been told get get stuffed (being polite here) the council have done nothing but they charge a arm and leg to use the ramp, I'm at a loss what can be done.

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?

Re: Boat Ramps
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.Kimtown wrote:Lol in your boat??

Re: Boat Ramps
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.Mattblack wrote: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.Kimtown wrote:Lol in your boat??

Re: Boat Ramps
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 AsianKimtown wrote:The strange asian tourists probably just wanted a go in the boat.
