View Full Version : Launching your boat this weekend?
I was emailed this string of pics today as we prepare to launch this weekend. Omen or coincedence?

I have seen this pic before. I can't help but feel bad for that guy hanging on for dear life on the swim platform. Looks like the front strap broke!
It's out in cyberspace in the form of a mastercard priceless commercial.

This is why I use a trailer rather than any sort of crane! :eek:

this is a large boat, so the guy appears smaller than you might expect. he's holding on for dear life in the pass-thru to the main deck..

One reason you can't seem him there now is, he and another guy are in the water in picture 3.:)

I wonder if that boat exceed 45 mph when it hit the water? :confused:

Just a practical question.
Why would anyone choose a bottom paint color that does not dramatically offset the water? Blue, White, Black? Why?
Red, Yellow something that can be seen from the air, not blend into the background and be immediately identified as NOT natural seems to me to be the way to go.
Just wondering what those of you who use blue white and black bottom paint are thinking? Not a criticism just a question.

Airwaves, My boat came with a white bottom. It only looks dark because I don't clean it as often as I should.
I don't see a guy on the swim platform... :confused:
Found him! He needs a bright PFD.
Hey SteveA, I could easily see the guy, after looking several times and then getting out my magnifying glass :laugh: and blowing it up in photoshop. Maybe we were web surfing faster than our ability to see :D.
