Anyone ever did something like this before??
Got tired of waiting on my motor to get rebuilt on my other boat so I went and bought a new pontoon boat.. SWEET!!
After about 6hrs of floating and fishing and swimming and severel 6 pks later.. it was time to head back to the boat ramp.
Backed the trailer down, SET THE PARKING BRAKE, and got out to help the wife load the BIG BOAT on the trailer... she was driving..
She EASES IN and I'm guiding her, like one of those guys with the orange flashlites at the airport...
AS SOON as she gets close.. she moves the wheel...SCRAAAAAAPPPPPEEEE... 3 tries later, she gets it on the trailer..
I get in the truck, pull the P. BRAKE RELEASE and drop it in gear.. truck doesn't move..
I try this SEVERAL TIMES and the truck is locked solid..
I'm pulling on the release with ALL MY MIGHT..and still nothing..
This stranger walks over and says,.."P BRAKE STUCK?? I say, YUP..
He throws out some suggestions with no luck..
15 minutes later..
As I'm cussin-up a storm and pulling on this friggin lever.. he leans in and says.. are you pulling the PARKING BRAKE RELEASE??
I YELLED, F-YES!!!.. He opens the door.. reaches in between my legs and pulls THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASE !!!!!!!!!!
I was pulling the HOOD LATCH!!
I never felt so stupid in my LIFE..
After MANY MANY THANK YOU'S.. we finished loading and tieing down the new boat to the trailer..
As I'm slowly driving out of the ramp.. The stranger leans in the window and whispers..."don't forget to close your hood"...
I'll BET THAT NEVER happens again!!
