    Houseboating for 30 years....
    Last night at Lake Mead, tie up ski boat, pull lake lice up on shore lightly (nice secluded cove) wake up, no lake lice, found a few coves around corner.
    Two years later, same thing, but this time boat is missing......around cove floating in the middle of the lake..... :rollside:
    while trying to load our 23' daycruiser, wind blowing like M/F er, waves crushing in, no winch w/ trailer, just lock bar, we looked like the 3 stooges yelling at each other trying to get the boat on the trailer.... 25 yrs later, new Tige, Corona Watersports offer a new boater initiation, shssh 30 yrs I now it all, they show me how to drive the boat onto the trailer, NICE!!!!! just goes to show, even old geezers can learn something new.........

    I've launched my boat without a drain plug. Didn't realize it untill the ass end was so low that I just about crapped myself. Thank god I was still idleing by the ramp. The water cut the engine out and I had to swim my ride back to the trailer to get it out!!! Doh!!!!
    I also have Launched my boat with the tie downs attached!! I couldn't figure out why the boat wouldn't move off of the trailer??? Pulled the boat back out...........low and behold......another bonehead move!!!
    ANYONE...........ANYONE...............???
    I've done both of those, unfortunately, not at the same time.
    When I left the straps on and realized it, I pulled all the way to the overflow parking to remove them.
