your 100% correct in stating that some worthy moments for funniest home videos occur in and around a boat ramp,,,,,,, some great action scenario’s can be witnessed to keep the amusement levels high,,,,,,

especially when you see someone struggling to get their boat back on the trailer by themselves fighting a wind or current,,,,,
i think i have backed more trailers down a ramp to assist someone than what i have my own boat,,,, and i fish very regulary,,,,
the time factor that people have nowadays is a common cause of lack of knowledge,, trying to get them to “practice” is taking half an hour of their life away that is spent elsewhere,,,,,,, makes you wonder how or what they do when they get home and need to back the boat in the driveway???????
