Oooh the ramp! I was in a pinch yesterday and had to pull the boat out by myself with the help of my 2.5 yo daughter. A crew of d bag 20 somethings had their boat on the trailer pulled up in front of one of the ramps, pouring gas in it, tying their f#$@ing fishing line, and just generally dilly dallying. In the I'm they spent on sitting in front of the ramp. I pulled my boat onto the courtesy dock, found my truck, backed the trailer in, walked way back over to the courtesy dock, loaded on the trailer, pulled out, strapped and pulled the plug. All while juggling a 2.5 year old. And these dummys just finally started backing their boat in when I was pulling out of the parking lot. I had bite my tongue for fear of confrontation with my daughter there, but come on, how clueless can people be.

I pulled kids on the tower for 15 years with no problem. Adults a different story.

Look, i love having a nice boat just like the rest of us. But some people have to stop being so uptight. Its just a boat. Enjoy, have fun, don't charge for gas.

Boat Drivers -useless Rant
Would never even consider asking for gas $. I think BYOB is understood by most. It’s not like these boats use $100 of gas in a 4-6 hour day.
I do the towing and certainly can’t expect a newb to know what to do without being intimidated by a wakeboat and all you need to watch for (wake, settings, rider, P turn, crossing wake, water depth, other water craft etc)
Nor am I going to trust a newb driving my boat, the “you rag you pay” rule goes bye bye with the mortgage money these boats cost.
My guests are invited, chose your guests wisely. Haven’t had a rude guest yet. That is how you have fun.

I pack everything for my guests, from lunch, to snacks, to beverages (both adult and kids)...that way I can control what comes onto my boat. Thing is, all of my friends just think I'm one heck of a guy doing all that...really its just a control thing on my end

The best way my friend, kudos.
My take is the boat is no different than my home, if I invite you, it’s on me.
My only unknown is what everyone likes to drink, I have a few flavors of beer, and certainly understand when people BYOB to the party.
