Launched at the Holiday ramp, pulled her up on the ramp so she wouldn't get banged on the rocks, parked the truck got back down to the ramp and she was down by the stern. Water was all the way to the console.

Just glad ya OK bud. Gotta be careful doing with the waves. I know I NEVER out in at a ramp with the wind blowing in just for that reason. WB, think he takes an XL
So....I am still lost here....why did it sink?
G waves come over the back of the boat it sounds like to me
What he told me happened. I text him to get a fishing report and he told me about it
Man! The waves were that bad? Holy POO!!!!!!!! Glad everything worked out Maj and you might want to go get an extra bottle of Makers.
Did you get her out? Need help? I've seen a lot a boats swamped at that ramp when the wind is strong out of the south.
Sure hate hearing that. Rotten luck for sure on that one. Glad you had some help getting it out though & will still be able to fish the tourney. Let's hope you have a better day tommorrow!!
Dont think I qualify for the JADA club yet WB as this was an act of nature.
Maj,
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I am thankful you weren't in it when she went down. Glad you were able to get her back on the trailer. Hope there is not to much damage.
I did that once and can remember to this day the felling I had in my gut when I laid eyes upon her. NOT GOOD!!!:(
In my fridge... I'll donate mine to ya after that kinda day... Hate to hear that for ya maj, hope ya can win the tourney tomorrow to make up for it!Quote:

Glad your OK and hope your boat is as well.Grenada is hopping, 4 to 5 foot swells about 10 to 12 foot apart Stay safe and good luck tomorrow.
Don't go blaming it on a woman Maj. That'd be just unbecoming.
OK, now you really need to check her out. Did water go over the gas tank Vent? You're 4 stroke right? So no oil tank to worry about. How about the charger? All look OK in the bilge area? Did your boxes get even a little wet? If so, be sure to leave open to air it out, else you'll get lot so stink in there. If you have a water seperator with a bowl, now would be a good time to dump it. If not, now would be a good time to replace your filter.
If your boxes got even a little wet, you'll need to open and dry out your tackle boxes/bags. Even if they didn't get water in them, but the carpeted boxes did, condensation can set rust up on your hooks.
Extra Large it is.

You may want to recruit yourself some help launching in the morning. Supposed to be 15 mph winds in the morning. That ramp can be unforgiving in the wind. Years ago I took about two feet of water over the transom backing off the trailer. The water hit me about shoulder high, it was so cold I though I was going into shock.
I was worrying bout that happening. Best to drive around to Engineers when the wind is blowin' like it is. Supposed to be rough tomorrow too.
man thats gona be alot of driving.. i already gotta leave by 2:45 to make it on time....
Rather drive than get sunk!
Ain't you got one of them fancy Trollin motors with the remote control and spot lock. Looks to me like you could have sent her out a ways and locked er down, went and got the truck and then brought er back to ya? Maybe not. I dunno.
minner that sounds good!!!!!!!try it a give us a update on how it works out
this does work ive seen a video of it but i cant for my life find it. everyone is looking at this guy weird when he launches his boat off the trailer and pushes it away. tyhen drives away. he then walks to the end of the dock. pull it up to him. and jump in.
dang major, glad your got it out and drying out, now go win the tournament tomorrow, I have a drink for you rat now
i may still be in my onezies when i get to registration in da
mornin if i can find a driver...Rofl
That is a old remote control TM. Not made anymore. You can put it in the water and put the tm down and bring it to you.
That's a bad deal, I hate it for you......... Lets go look at that Skeeter Monday morning...:p I heard tell it floats..Hands Clapping
sorry about your mis-fortune Major. Hope you do good in the tourney tommorrow.
Go register and then put in at Long Branch. It should be out of the wind. Where ya'll staying?
Long Branch..... Aint that at Enid
Somebody done been in DD's green cup!!!!RoflRoflRoflQuote:
