    Remember the first time that backing got easy? Just takes practice, I agree on the parking lot or non- holiday

    I hate getting all stressed on the ramp before you even get on the water. If there's no attitude or drinking involved, I usually give um the simple advise. Watch behind you, put one hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Move your hand the way you want the trailer to go. Simple.

    I don't get stressed over just making the observation... I have seen people getting into screaming matches over it your right it's not worth it. I just would think that if your not good at it then practice before not there....It's no biggie

    The people that wait until they are ready to go into the water to unload gear are more aggravating than the poor backers, to me anyway.

    I agree... The poor backers are entertaining. It is a lot easier to forgive incompetence than someone who is just plain inconsiderate.

    I've seen people block the ramp and start "working on" their motor. Especially Memorial weekend when the boat hasn't been run for 6 months or more. I've seen 'em pull the cover off and start taking out spark plugs, jacking around with fuel lines, pulling out batteries, a whole diagnostic right there on the ramp. Kinda frustrating when you are ready to drop and go... Like they couldn't have tried that at home first with the motor on the hose or in a bucket...
    I am just pullin' your leg.:D
