[QUOTE="eseamands, post: 217436, member: 629"] While fishing on Lake Minnetonka a few years back, I was backing my friend's boat trailer into the water to load the boat up for the evening. The ramp went steep really fast near the water and I lost sight of the trailer quickly and over-corrected. I pulled forward got it straightened out and into the water just fine, but it took me two or three times due to the steep drop off. There were two sides to dock from and the guy in front of me was a high school kid. Same scenario. HUGE brand new Ford Expedition, nice, shiny Ranger boat. He gets pissed, hollars something then moves to the other side once that boat was out of the way. He arrogantly RUSHES the trailer in under the boat while just staring at me. As he slams on the gas to leave the water, he forgets about the aforementioned STEEP drop off. He had left the lower unit tilted all the way down and didn't trim it up. WHAM!!!! Right into the concrete with the motor. Sparks flew, broken prop, the works. My friend and I had a good laugh as we thought about how he was going to explain that impatience created this mess.
