Leaning on People's Boats

[DLC]

I can hear it now.. “It was just one cigarette”.

Smoking a cigarette without requesting is a completely different level of disrespect than the debate of disrespect vs. ignorance that is leaning on a boat.

it takes weeks to get That Smoke smell out of the boat, Especially if it’s an open bow !

 

[CLdrinker]

Then stop throwing BL cans

Did you just assume my alcohol preference?

 

[Neverbowdown]

Shit...here we go again. Is that true though?

Seems like a max on the 2007 Chevy of 15,100 and a max on the 2023 Ford of 14,000? I haven't really done the research on the Ford though, so maybe there's something else I'm not aware of.

In any case, I know I wouldn't be very comfortable towing my boat with anything much shorter or much lighter than my 2500HD.

Pretty cool comparing a 3/4 ton Chevy Diesel to a 1/2 ton gas powered Ford and it only differs by 1,100lbs payload difference?
I'm impressed..............

 

[Neverbowdown]

Again? It’s been true all along.

Have a look. Your truck is rated to tow 12,000 with a conventional ball.

A new F150 is rated to 13,000 on a conventional ball.

https://www.ford.com/cmslibs/content/dam/brand_ford/en_us/brand/cpo/pdf/2023_Ford_F-150_Towing_Info_Dec16.pdf

Either way you are exceeding the ratings of either truck by the looks of it. Whatever works for you, but if you got popped, the fine would be less with a new F150 .

NOTE: 3/4ton diesel Chevy VS. 1/2ton gas Ford

Shoot, one time i was at sandy beach with my Brummett 21 which the gel is a 9.5634 out of 10. Some assholes boxer from down the beached jumped on the deck of my boat and slipped and skidded off. I was livid. Guy didnt give 2 shits other then to say he was sorry.

Same thing happened to me, was waiting for my wife at the launch after just launching when some dumbass lady who wasnt smart enough to put her dog on her boat before they launched comes walking down, dog on a leash across the hot asphalt down the hot dock and when it gets to me dog jumps straight onto the deck of my boat. She then pulls on the leash to get the dog off and the dog curls its nails trying to get grip as its being pulled off the boat. I sat there in shock for a second trying not to fully lose my shit on her luckily my wife was walking right behind her and saw it happen and went off on her. Her response was “sorry his paws were hot” after a few more words it went to “I said i was sorry what else do you want from me” and then she gets on her boat and hear her say “I dont why they are mad i said i was sorry”.

 

[Looking Glass]

@Wizard29 I agree with you 100% and I never would have an issue telling someone to remove themselves from leaning or placing any items on my boat. It may not seem like a big deal to some people, but it is to others.

AND!!, you never have a problem telling others to get out of your Private Cove and Beach.

Since you asked and to make @was thatguy feel better...

Yeah, and only about $50K in price and 16 years difference between them. It's more than just the payload. The F150 is unlikely to out pull the Duramax. Even LOF acknowledged the truck I'm using is probably better suited for my purposes. Put an F150 in front of my boat or my stacker trailer and it's likely to be an exciting ride.

I'll take both of my 2500HDs all day long.

So yeah. ...I agree.

Give her a ride and you'll be pickin up sequins for months on end!

No doubt, with a boat that size I wouldn't even consider a 1/2 ton anything....which is why I'm questioning why you compared the two, kinda apples and oranges, yeah? Asking for a friend

A "Get-Together" on a Beach to enjoy the weather, water, and friends, is Not IMO the time and place to embarrass (In Front Of Others) one of the Group on your sensitivity to the Boat. I can not imagine this Couple ever attending any gathering again where you and your Wife are present. She could have waited for an opportunity and a manner to ask this other attendee, to please not place your "Koozie" on our boat, VS the

Hard to believe this thread is still going on. I think some of you desperately need to go boating.

@Howardflat didn’t mean to quote you I must’ve hit it by accident and I don’t know how to remove it.

It hasn't quite heated up yet like normal...this one snuck through.

“ Winter Content “ is now all year

 

[Mr. C]

All I got is I Fn never hope I own a boat that you can’t set a beer on or let alone lean against.
I mean wow. Seems like a real relaxing time.


That’s has nothing to do with respect of others property fyi.

 

[Outdrive1]

Go be poor somewhere else….. RD

I live in a truck stop. How much poorer do you want. Lol.

I don't believe I was the one who brought up the topic? Your friend needs to go back and read how that happened.

Oh please. Seems a little dramatic to me. If they are so sensitive such that they'd never attend another gathering where my wife and I are present, then good riddance because who knows what else they'd become irreparably distraught over.

If you can't handle being asked not to lean on someone's boat or car or whatever, then find yourself a safe space and stay there. Happy pride month!

Met a couple guys using my boat as a cocktail table at HinH back in 2018...we've been friends ever since.

Talk to Mack and Scott a couple times a year...meet up when we can.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Guess that’s why I own junk.

I get it. It’s like having a party and you look over and someone has their feet on your coffee table.

This seems appropriate.

Like the reasonable person standard is the legal standard for lawful behavior, so should be the standard for respectful behavior.

Only one party here seems reasonable.

 

[ChiliPepperGarage]

I don't touch other peoples stuff unless invited to.

That said, I don't agree with the car show analogy. First of all, a beached boat is not a boat show. Second, do you walk on the hood of your car? I don't. Do you walk on the deck of your boat? I do quite often. I don't think setting a cup on the deck of your boat is going to hurt it any. I think a better analogy might be an RV parked in an campground.

I get the respect thing but if I'm beached and there are a group of friends standing around BSing, I'm not going to have a problem with a cup in a koozie on the deck. Now if some total stranger just came up to the boat then that's a different situation. Or if the guy dropped a bottle in the sand or something and then set it on the boat.

Personally, I wouldn't want a boat so nice that I get upset about a cup on the deck, That doesn't sound like much fun to me.

 

[oldschool]

Good thing this maniac didn’t try to sit in one of the seats.

 

[checkrdpast]

Yep, my daughter at a very young age knew to never touch anything that doesn't belong to you . even when we started to car pool kids to school , they all knew to close the doors with the handles having black cars all my life. i always get a smile on my face when a new kid was added to the car pool and the rest would tell them "use the door handles"

 

[81Sprint]

Few years ago after a long day on the river in my old sprint, get back to the Avi launch ramp parking lot, everyone having a beer hanging out and some chick in our group proceeded to tear open a bag of chips and can of salsa and throw that and her purse ON THE BOW. Thought my Sprint was her kitchen table. My buddies were watching with the oh shit look. She learned quickly that was not ok and my boat cover went on. Some peoples kids

 

[MR HARLEY]

Asking for a friend. Is a yoga mat & Tequila bottle ok up front on the deck?

There is a foot at the push of a button on the right hand sponsoon too for your feetzies.

Beached....Buns, Beer and a lot of sun tan lotion. Forgot the BBQ.

Gel coat remained unscathed though.

the good ole days of RDP!

 

[racektm]

Try and keep these guys off the deck…!!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

AND!!, you never have a problem telling others to get out of your Private Cove and Beach.

Get over it.

 

[traquer]

I'd just use humor. Most adults understand there's truth in every joke and take the hint

 

[snowhammer]

For those who don't want people congregating around their boat at a beach, have you looked into a guard alligator?

I hear they are popular this year. All the cool kids have one.

Would this "lean" be acceptable?

 

[Wheeler]

Would this "lean" be acceptable?

Perfect! I was searching for that pic!

 

[was thatguy]

Would this "lean" be acceptable?

Good one.
I wanted to add that after the oiled girl got on my boat the clean up was, in fact, hell.
It took a long time to clean the oil off of the deck, all the seats, the air scoop, both sides of the boat, the steering wheel…well, you get the picture.

 

[Looking Glass]

Get over it.

Don't go All "Dock A Ton", "Docktaton", "Tough Eddie" Or Whatever they Call It.

Honestly I thought her solution to it was pretty classy and non embarrassing?
