If you have a sled and are going to power load then you shouldn't have any issue with someone pulling in front of you. Sounds to me like the issue is you didn't quite use the center with your trailer and instead pulled in front of someone who can't power load? If you left him plenty of room in his lane for his trailer then there is no issue. From my own experience I generally see the sled owners as the most impatient people at the ramp. Just because you can be out in a minute doesn't mean you can't wait a few minutes longer in line and just chill the F out.


I have no issues with someone docking in front of me, in fact that is specifically the reason I tie up at the end of the dock, so if someone wants to hand load they can dock their boat closer to the ramp (but not all the way forward so they block the ramp) and if they get back with their trailer before me they won't need to line their boat around mine, also it gives people launching the most room to get their boats in.

As far as staying chill, I was totally chill until the guy came down and started hurling insults at me, at which point I started replying in kind.
