First time launch?

[tiderus]

He just bought a new boat and decided to take her for the maiden voyage. This was his first

Boat and wasn't sure of the procedures.


He consulted his local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the boat trailor

Get too deep in the water but deep enough that the boat will float.


Well, he didn't know what they meant by that as he could barely get the trailer in the water


You're gonna love this guy!!!

Folks, you just can't make this stuff up!

And once again, these people breed...and on occasion they vote!
Scary!

I read a true story once, in america, ( it could only be!! ), a guy launched his boat on a lake and found it felt very slow and hard to drive even at full power.

They got the boatyard mechanic out who checked the engine and found nothing wrong so they sent a diver down to look at the hull.

When the diver came back up he was almost choking with laughter through his face mask.

The guy had only gone and launched his boat still fixed to the trailer!!!!!
