Need help launching the boat. Urgent!!

[yellowbeard]

Hey guys,

I can't understand what I'm doing wrong. But I get awfully wet everytime I launch the boat. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yellowbeard,

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!


FAIL.....;D ;D ;D

[ifishcq1]

You probably need an army duck for rear forward launching
personally I recon reversing is a lot easier

was that in the states? looks like an old redneck technique

cheers

Hi
Maybe some floaties would be good--- Classic

outboard is definitely in wrong place

[trymyluck]

AHHH those barge prices are over the top, this thing has air bags so she should be good:o:o:o

[bigjimg]

Well at least the signage is being recognised.But what knot to use?

[jtpython]

You need to lower your motor into the water and push the car around in a circular motion pushing the car in the upward motion towards the ramp. Thus solving the drowned rat effect

You're not hittinjg the water with enough speed. Another 20ks and you;d get that trailer right in and she'd float right off!!

[Pretzil]

um, your not reversing???

[frank100]

Keep your doors & windows shut !

[revs57]

I reckon big benny has it - try more speed

[black runner]

Clearly when the ramp was upgraded they put it in the wrong way round. Not your fault at all. ;D

[ozscott]

Its the earth's slowly changing polarity

[dazza]

bloody greenies sabotaged the ramp

[dogsbody]

It's the best way to see that the bungs are in.

Learning to reverse is heaps harder

[Straitened Out]

I studied your astrology chart and it looks like Uranus is in the wrong position.

[darkside]

Since when has the brake been on the left and the "go fast Pedal" on the right. !!!!!!!

[aussiefool]

Your all wrong ... it's Global Warming starting to show it's effects

[rat_catcher]

There are a couple of threads like this over on The Hull Truth and there are some absolutely hilarious stories!!! ;D

[PinHead]

I think it is obvious what the problem is...you need a snorkel on the truck

[Marlin_Mike]

solar flares...it solar flares causing it

[TonyM]

I agree that more speed would probably fix it :evil:

Oh and buy a set of waders ;)

[bennyboy]

It is clearly a problem related to the brand of motor on the back of the boat.

[Roughasguts]

And that's why I don't let me wife drive the boat to the ramp!!!

[dogsbody]

You have to admit he did a masterful job of not dunking the trailer bearings.

It’s a Ford and he’s trying to slow down the rusting process by putting it in salt water.

[CCDrifter]

I think the term Arse about Face comes to mine

[CreelReaper]

Or maybe the horse(s) before the cart

[bundylundy]

A new use for a boat ramp, car launching. Guess he forgot to put in the bungs again.
