As boat & trailer came down the steep ramp it was gaining speed & the tongue was slapping the concrete about every 10ft! My buddy on front deck was bent over in the seat (going backwards) leaned over with both hands grasping each side of the boat screaming OH LORD JESUS HERE I COME!!!!:*****:The boat gets 20ft from the water & does a 90 degree turn & stops between 2 cypress trees! Boat has come to a stop & he is still hanging on & still screaming OH LORD JESUS HERE I COME!  |
My kids walked through the kitchen just now and asked why I was laughing so much. Makes me glad I am not the only one this kind of stuff happens to.
