In fact, I think I saw some of his relatives at the ramp yesterday...

While waiting on my wife to drop our trailer in the water, I watched them repeatedly ram their boat into the bow-stop and then float off because their trailer was too deep. I got ours hooked up and as my wife was pulling us up the ramp, the other guy calls out "you folks sure made that look easy!) :D

That would be the most rewarding job in the freaking world. I'd wake up with a smile everyday.

That's one way to drydock a boat ant put out a fire at the same time. Just feel for the poor bastard that was trying to shave in the head at the time

Last voyage to the boat graveyard.....or chop shop.
There will probably be a TV reality show about it soon.
