Never saw it and not trying to!

OOH this is good.....

Ok, so at the big Keyport, NJ Municipal ramp, coming in on my V21 with my son.

One boat ahead of us, guy is trying to power drive his boat up onto his bunk trailer.
Well, he keeps missing, left, then right, and losing his temper.

My son and I are standing on the dock, next to our boat.
I say to my son ( 19) " watch -this is how a grown man should NOT behave"

The guy reverses his boat again and again, each time running and gunning.
He screams at his friend who apparently made a suggestion.
Finally rams his boat onto the trailer, and pulls up.

Lessons for my son:
1. Don't lose control
2. When dealing with a problem....slow down.....take your time, be careful.

Guy last week told me I should use the right side of a ramp because it was available.
( tide running hard - no good )
I said no thanks, I'll wait..........and he walked away angry, muttering, spitting in the street.

Boat ramp on a busy day - lot's of interesting behavior.
