How Not to Park Your Boat

[_____]

Looks like a commercial fishing guy - maybe a shrimper - berating those idiots from a big boat. It's tough to overstate the boneheaded behavior here in Charleston you see from folks like that during the summer.
You could write a screenplay about a tragic teen boater story going down here in SCarolina. Privileged Lowcountry boy kills girl in drunk boating accident. He's obviously not a pogue.

Timmy

"His friends claimed he has a drunk alter-ego named “Timmy” who came out that night.
According to his friends’ depositions, Murdaugh’s eyes get “as wide as half dollars,” without blinking when he gets in “Timmy” mode. He holds his hands sprawled out, does erratic movements with his arms, and “… he was an angry drunk too, so you could always tell when he became ‘Timmy.'”"

Dana Landing, Mission Bay. My local ramp.

Prove you are right, tinker bell. You made the claim.. Offer some proof that police officers rough up blacks on boats at a statistically higher rate than they rough up whites.

I know exactly why you can't.

Weren't you a moderator on this board at one time limp wrist? Shirley you should know that you are posting in the wrong forum.

You’re such a moody bitch.

Mine is an 80s Classic.

Nice, yes the older ones were/are tanks, too bad the new ones are sold at bass pro and cabelas...I believe they were bought sometime in the late 90s by a bass boat company...Tracker maybe. Inventory goes up, quality went wayyy down.

Yep, Bass pro ruined sea craft as well.

A buddy of mine bought one of those Bass Pro Seacrafts and I gotta say its an amazing boat. He got the 20 foot Lefty Kreh edition in Fighting Lady Yellow. Same as the one below but with Etec power.

Yeah my buddies fell apart and know of two others with the same issue. AWFUL customer service and way overpriced for the messy finishing (awful wiring, sh!t caulk lines and glassing was crap)...he does put it through its paces though (fish out of Hatteras/Oregon inlet).

Maybe your buddy got a good one, but stay inside the inlets and out of any real chop if you want it to last more than 5 and still be happy with it.

Just my two cents...the Lefty (rip) version does 'look' nice.

Best riding little boat I've ever run. Wet but so soft landing.

The hull design is still good, it is the hardware, workmanship and overall quality is the problem.

I'm assuming El Capitan will be fired for this mistake? Absolutely stunning superyacht.

 

[Will there be snacks]

Another angle. Description says there was a computer problem. That's apparently Capri Sun money you're looking at.

 

[GromsDad]

That one really is odd to me. Watching it makes me think there could have been a malfunction involved rather than captain error.

 

[PPK96754]

I would think that someone / anyone should have been on the bow of the boat with a hand held. Malfunction onboard? A possibility. Wind driven into the dock? Perhaps. But it looked like, sounded like there was no power applied in reverse, at all.
sh!t taken for granted by the Captain ..... ? won't look good on a resume.

 

[Autoprax]

I was thinking some kind of equipment failure.

They can afford to fix the dock.

Good thing no one was killed.

That is expensive.

 

[r32]

When once is not enough. Ram 'em twice.

In San Diego we have a ramp where you can grab a good deli sandwich, a beer, and sit right next to the ramp watching the comedy. It's one of my favorite pastimes.

Every coastal town has one

That's actually why I believe it was a malfunction. I've never run a boat that big. Biggest boat I've run was about 60 tons. My experience has been that the bigger a a multi engine powerboat is the easier it is to dock. No doubt that one has bow thrusters and docking cameras. The only thing that makes sense to me is something with the shift and throttle mechanisms. That boat may even be fly by wire controls. Then again, someone could just be shitfaced drunk too.

A boat, of those LOA & beamy as hell, will have bow and stern thrusters. In today's world a ship of that size will always have bow and stern thrusters onboard. There was no effort what so ever in backing down on there forward movement of the ship nor any bow movement with disturbed water or backwash. If you're "that far" into a docking position the Horn should have been blasting and the crew should have been on the railings and bow informing folks of there peril of the ships situation for all safety concerns.
