Ok the site is a little slow, but I wish I had a video of this.
Had the boat hauled yesterday morning, it is only about 3 miles from the ramp to the house. So 7 am get the boat on Brownell Hydraulic trailer with a semi pulling it. I am right behind the boat and the driver is avoiding low hanging branches on the side street, most people in Marion pull off to the side because they all have boats and know that the truck driver is doing his best to not damage the boat on all the trees. So we turn onto Route 6 for about a 2 mile stretch. It is 2 lanes each way, but pretty narrow. The truck driver goes into the left lane to avoid all the branches. Speed limit is 50, he's going about 45 and I am right behind him in the left lane. An SUV comes up behind me about 65, honks the horn, obviously upset that I and the truck are doing 45 in the left lane. After about 1/2 mile of tailgating me, he swerves into the right lane to pass both of us on the right. Well the lanes on route 6 are 10 feet wide, boat is 11 and no median between on coming traffic. It is too tight for him to get by. He leans on the horn again for about 4 seconds. Finally the truck can shift to the left because there is no on coming traffic, the guy guns it and starts to pass on the right. Just as he is make his move, the starboard side midship 2500 GPH bilge pump kicks on, forgot to shut it off. Bilge water is now spewing out at a good stream of salty oily stuff. Too bad he had his window down.....Just as he is passing, Soaked.
Literally, the boat pissed him off.
