That's almost painful to watch. Boat abuse is just wrong.

I may just take my lawn chair down to the Everett ramp and watch this show all weekend. These once a season genius's are something else. Load up the boat at the dock,check to see if the boat will run at the dock, not to mention just general Bubba-ism's.

We should setup a camera at the Everett launch this weekend, then edit the hilights together... Pure gold!

Mukilteo ... then you add the current factor to stupid. grin


Your probably right, I have seen two boats sink there because of boat wakes and rough water.

Triumphs are made of Ropylene plastic. I think thats their point.

remember the sport-yak? (polypropylene - I think a saw one on the Snohomish last week full of pinks).

It's not a Bubba Test, the outboard is tilted.

Just think, no trailer license tabs to buy, bearing buddies to grease, or finicky trailer lights to keep working.

Think how quick it would be to launch it, just power slide it sideways, splash and tie it up!

Mukilteo ramp is much more challenging and can be quite entertaining at times, but nothing beats the Everett launch for sheer numbers of Bubbas doing their thing.

I saw one sink there a couple of years ago, guy pulled up on the north side of the north dock with the wind coming out of the north, boat was 14' lake boat with about 12" of freeboard. Left his wife in the boat as he went to get the trailer, he got to the boat just in time to reach down and grab her under the arms as the bow went vertical. Took almost an hour to get the boat on the trailer.

saw one that a guy tied up and left to get his truck in seemed like Lynnwood and came back to the thing hanging there full of water.
Another time I saw a guy and his wife pull in and start to tie up and have a wave come in that bucked the dock, the bow went under neath it and down went the boat.

Course throw in a couple of Bubba's, racing through there because they have to weigh in there 8 lb fish, cutting that corner to save time after drinking into a self indulged stupor and that's what happens.
