[quote kentofnsl]I once came in off of a lake only to find a tow vehicle left parked on the ramp with the trailer in the water and the boat was no where in sight. They were blocking 1/2 of the available ramp. I guess they didn't want to have to go the bother of having to back the trailer back into the water when they were done boating! I consider myself to not be a violent person, but it was sure tempting to let them know how rude they were.[/quote]
What you are describing is the typical boat dealer, make that ski boat dealer. I pulled into the dock one day and the same thing.....trailer in the water, no one in or near the truck pulling the trailer. There was a sheriff standing there so I sarcastically suggested that wouldn't work if we all tried to park like that. I was informed it was ok....it's just a dealer out for a water test. I asked the sheriff if I could park there as well next time and was told no, it's illegal to block the ramp with an unattended vehicle. I'm still baffled by that answer. I didn't stick around when the numbhead came back in. Maybe Barney Fife gave em a ticket. One would hope.
