[quote dtayboyz]Ah for hell sakes get out of your truck and go help them out, you may make a new friend. Don't get stressed about ANYTHING that goes on at CJ, life is too short. It's always a boat rodeo at the AF ramp and Black Sands is a septic tank mud hole. I can load or unload in about 10 seconds with a competent backerupper dude.[/quote]
I don't have a boat. But, if some random dude walked up and started doing anything with my stuff, I'd quickly intervene and send them on their way. Too many people in this world "want to be helpful", but quickly damage things that aren't theirs, either by accident, design, or just plain clumsy.
While you might be doing it for the right reasons, and have the right skillset, it's their gear, and they don't know if you even have a clue.
Offering to help is fine. But if they refuse, just walk away.
[quote lucabrasi]Seeing a thread like this every year, driving by the crowded launches most weekends all I do is remember that and all the other stuff (gas, maintenance.....) that goes with having a boat I don't have to wonder why I never have really wanted a boat all that bad no matter how much I like being on the lake.[/quote]
I hear ya. Stuff like this is why I'll settle for a pontoon boat. I can carry it around the line of trucks
