You spent two weeks on your boat??? And what do you do all day, don’t you get bored???

 

It costs WHAT to fill it up???

 

Why do they park all the sailboats pointing in the same direction?

Does the water go all the way around the island?

“Hey, is your boat leaking?” Asked as they are pointing to the air conditioning thru hull fitting.

What do you do with the ice after it melts?

How many miles to the gallon do you get?

Does the boat make its own power?

Do these steps go up or down?

If we zoom way in on the GPS can we see ourselves?

 

I was asked ... where is the brake peddle I don't see it !!. :wow:

 

Why did you get a boat?

 

How do you go to the bathroom?

How do you take a shower?

Does that thing have a Tv in it?

 

Does the river run up hill?

 

Oh yea! two weeks ago we went out let my nephew handle the launch he is 28 well he I guess threw the bow line up on top didn't check if it stayed backed the boat out and yup you guessed it the bow line wraped the prop. I hear the boat die.... hmm I look out at him and see the bow line down the side and there he is trying to run it I screamed stop waded into the water
bring the boat to the dock and began to cut bow line from the prop. the knot in the end hit outdrive trim cylinder and Grrrrr. oil slick the rope put a hole in the cylinder wall. Told the wife we have no reverse she freaked and wanted off the boat NOW. I well had no more to say to keep from sleeping on the couch she said with out brakes how do re avoid other boats. again I remain silent.

 

#1 on our list:

"If there is ever a power outage, will we still be able to go boating"? :smt043:smt021 :smt101 :smt038 :lol:

 

Sometimes when we are parked @ the public dock area..we get asked if we rent our boat.:smt043

 

The one I hear most:

"What do you mean you don't fish?"

 

I love this one!! I always tel people that anything goes on my boat...except fishing!!!!

 

When you flush the toilet were does it go???

 

Can I borrow your boat?

 

"Is the water in the toilet (head) fresh water or salt water?"

Damn, I don't know myself. I never tasted it.

 

What are you doing on Sunday???

 

My favorite is:

'Does the Coast Guard sticker mean this boat is safe to ride on?'

 

We took our boat on vacation back in July for ten days In the middle of the week we had a fuel pump fail on the port engine. luckly I found one at a local boat yard. It was about 98deg that day and I am down in the engine compartment sweeting like a pig With in about haft and hour I had three people walk down the dock and ask if I had engine trouble I told the last person no everything was okay but it was lunch time and I was feeding the kids

 

Can I pay for gas?

Do you mind if we bring red wine?

Do my kids have to wear life vests the whole time?

How do you cool off?

Do you ever take your boat over the dam?

What happens if the dam breaks? - I actually don't want to find out the answer to this one, other than knowing that the lake drains real fast and Branson, Mo. will no longer exist.

 

If I flush the toilet, are the kids going to be swimming in it?

 

1. How much do boats cost?
2. Does your boat leak so much that the pump runs all the time? (Again referring to the AC discharge. You'd be surprised who asks this question. I've had boating friends even ask me this! WTH
3. How much gas does it take? Followed by
why so much?"
4. Do you ever go in the ocean? (I boat at the mouth of the Delaware bay, so yes).
5. Where did all the water go, it was full when we left? Referring to low tide, we have a range of 4 to 6 feet. A follow on to this one is when a guest arrives at low tide, "boy it sure must be dry here the river is really low."

 

Deleted.

 

Can I drive?

I only have one friend who asks this, and it is the one friend that i'd never let drive.


Are you really w1ngless?

That would explain a lot!

 

Every single person you tell that you've bought a new boat:
You know what the two happiest days are for a boat owner?

Gee...I never heard that one before:smt021

 

My wife and I are walking down the pier towards our slip and someone asks (hey are you guys going out)? I say "were married":smt038

 

I did not read all of these above, but mine has got to be the dumbest. :grin: Our Boat Miss N Mountains hailing port is Highlands Ranch, Colorado. We cruise up and down Florida and recently a couple of trips to the Bahamas. The most frequent question I get is "which river did I go down to get to what ever marina we are staying at"?

I now just tell them the South Platte.

When we had my wife's friend out once we were in 375+' of water. She says " wow that's deep! It sure wouldn't be a good place to sink". I replied "where is?"
