Boat Shakedown Report

[captmikestarrett]

Pulled tarp off boat and began the rights of spring shake down on the boat. Ran perfect in driveway and off to ramp to water test it. Arrived with only one ramp open. And this is why.







Use your emergency brake on the ramp..please.
OK boat ran fine with lots of big logs floating out there. Water was clear green and 37.5 degrees. Marked lots of big cats in the feeding zones. Could be a banner year.

WOW....I hate when that happens!! You are right capt. these pics are the poster child for proper ramp procedures. Man, a nice ride too.

now who I mean now who would put that truck clean down in that water to wash it don't think that's cheaper then the typical car wash for sure .

and I hate to say it but the thought does cross my mind once in awhile but mostly only when I go alone and we have one boat ramp here in the western end of the state I think they built it with a dozer put beautiful concrete ramp down two lanes nice floating dock but my god is that thing steep .

but all in all glad you unit is up and ready for the spring fling lol.

Wow,,saw the same thing Sat. as they pulled a Chevy Blazer out of the river in southern Indiana with 2 super large wreckers, and sheriff's dive team attaching the straps to it in 20' of water. One of the gals that works at the bait shop on a hill above the river, parked her car and went in to work, 5 minutes later came out to get something out of it and it had rolled 200 yds down the hill, across a highway, and plopped into 20 ft of water in the river. Needless to say, it was totaled by the time they got it out. Its a mess for sure.
