Have fun calling your insurance agent and fessing up about that one.

"So I was taunting the wife and kids by driving down teh ramp towards the water to scare them by getting close when my foot slipped putting it in reverse and glunk!"

I saw someone unhook winch/bow eye in the prep area (top of ramp), this boat was on a trailer with rollers. Once they got half way down the ramp and turned truck around to back boat into water, boat rolled off trailer, still 50-75 feet away from water!!! They just pushed it (18' open bow) down the ramp and went fishing. Left a nice streak of gel coat on the ramp.

You get to see some good stuff hanging out at the launch ramp!!

My wife and i camped right next to a launch ramp on Greers ferry one weekend. It was the funniest thing i have ever seen. The best are people that have just bought a (Used/falling apart) party barge and have no clue how to launch or more importantly recover a pontoon boat. Good times!
