Reading that list, and reading some of the replies makes me think that there should be a second list written specifically for the "experienced" boaters.
#1 on that list should be: Patience.
Have patience with those people who may not have the same experience level as yourself.
There is nothing worse than a bunch of know-it-alls at the boat ramp getting worked up over everyone else that is too slow for them.
A little exercise of patience at the boat ramp can make everyone's experience a little bit better.[/quote]
couldn't agree more! I'm a first time "real" boat owner and I have everything ready before driving down the launch, that's just proper etiquette but what makes me the most nervous are all the impatient boaters. Especially loading, I feel so rushed by others. Not too mention how tough it can be when there is wind and some chop involved.
