Great topic but you should post this in the next forum down... "general bassboat topics." Your post will just get lost here in the lounge. I look forward to reading some responses. Sorry to say I don't have any good stories
You really have to wonder what the driver of the SeaDoo was thinking.....how fast was he running close to shore?

what makes you think it's not a good topic for the lounge? Pretty sure it'll get a ton more views and laughs here than there

The main thing is hopefully no one got hurt. I am a safety instructor and I have been asked some incredible questions and not just by novices . The opinion was once expressed to me that the most important thing was water depth when going fast as opposed to being close to shore and other boats.

Al I got there a little to late to see the actual impact just the after math .

I cringe when my truck does that couple of inches fall back when I let off the break while on the ramp. I try to really keep my mind on what I'm doing.

That's why, no matter what ramp I'm using, if it's like sitting on a cliff or if it's practically level, I ALWAYS put the parking break on. Every time, without fail. It's my backup in case I don't notice I didn't put it in park....and I did that once.Thought I put it in park, only got to reverse, but I always keep my foot firmly on the break and push my E-brake pedal down to the floor, then get out. When I let off the brake, I immediately noticed the truck still moved an inch or two, and it shouldn't have. So stopped myself from getting out, looked up, and saw I was actually in reverse. That's why I'm thankful I always use the E-brake, because that little mess up could have landed me on this thread as one of the dumbasses.
