Strangest things you've seen at a boat ramp

[therapy]

Gedday all,
Long name for a thread I know but I thought I would share some picks of something weird I saw the other day at Scarby ramp. They are pretty self explanatory though we speculated for a while about the destination of the tank (Moreton? D bay?). Just wondering what weird and wonderful things you have seen at boat ramps that you wouldn't expect to see.

The strangest thing i've seen at a ramp and i've seen it a few times is people getting ready to head offshore in large quintrex's !!! (eg 650 offshores) It just sends a shiver down my( and i'm sure theres) spine!!!

I saw a troupe of naked belly dancers on one of my dreams at a ramp sometime last yr......still trying to find that ramp in real life though......

mine would have to be a tinnie with 2 small cows loaded in it heading up the logan river.....

I once saw ' no ramp rage ' at peak hour.................... not !

I've seen a brand new Quinnie Spirit land on the concrete.

I've seen a few go A over T on the slippery stuff......

How about the Tilt Tray Truck that launchs a Pro boat at 1770.... !

Now where would this bloke be going with a TANK? Really................ Was it found in Moreton Bay itself or is he stealing it or what? Very interesting alright! Should give it the local paper for a laugh.

A question I have asked myself a few times since Friday I assure you!! When we got back to the ramp he had it strapped up to his cat which was tied off to the pontoon there. While we were waiting to get to the ramp he motored off into the blue yonder, tank bobbing along happily behind. Bizarre to say the least! Finding Time, those cat owners are kooky bunch hey...lol
Jack, if you find that ramp please post it here or pm me!!

Cheers....Terry.........

I've heard of getting tanked but thats ridiculous!! maybe that was his' Kill Tank' and he was planning to bag out on a few hundred species...lol

Talk about Strange.. I saw a guy drive up the ramp the otherday and straight into the back of some guys boat trailer.... He had dark glasses on but I didnt see any dog on the passenger seat....lol

This isn't a really weird thing but it did spin me out a little. Myself and a few mates took my young bloke to Clontarf about a week back for a bit of a night fish.
I took Caleb for a walk to the ramp because he wanted to go out onto the pontoon. There was a tiny little tender tied to the end of the pontoon....no worries, as we were walking back a nice new Range Rover was trying to back an itty bitty boat trailer down the ramp. The first attempt jack knifed really bad....and he kept reversing !!! crunch, scrape. The second attempt was better but he drove it straight off the side of the ramp onto the mud....nowhere near the water.
It took me a while to realise that I was staring...I was transfixed. I could hear muffled swear words coming from the car which snapped me out of my daze so I thought we'd better bug out, and go back to catching little bream.
I'd say the poor bugger had waited til everyone else had gone home before attempting to retrieve his boat. He must have been cranky as hell seeing me staring in awe.
Have you ever had your body telling you to walk away but your brain saying...Nah, lets hang around and see how this ends up. ?

I know there are some big fish out there, but isn't your run-of-the-mill party balloon enough for a floater?? jeezzzz...

A tilt tray dropping off a homemade houseboat/floating shed. Might have originally been easy to just winch it straight onto the tray at the house but trying to get it off into the water was a different story .

Not at a ramp, but at the Abel Point Marina at Airlie, a bloke wearing only a fluro orange G string cruising past me in his big gin palace boat, that image is still seared to the inside of my eyelids!

Saw a car with a trailer reversed still running on the ramp with nobody to be seen. Guy had backed boat off trailer and left the car there!! Wallet, phone, everything still in car. Drove it to the carpark and left him a note with my moby so he could retrieve his keys. Was pretty funny, and I scored a carton yeeaaahhhh!!!

one of the two hull boats for the waters we have up here..........
