Great story Barry. That is the normal way to pull out of the boat launch. I see it all the time, but never with the black smoke. lol

I thought only a couple of young guys and a few my team guys were watching. I punched up the 120hp will pulling out of the ramp with an empty trailer. About 1/2 way up I punched it a little. Tires turned loose and smoke rolled. Turned the whole ramp black. I pulled to the top and parked only to see two deputies and a park ranger heading my way. The big bellied Georgia deputy walked to the door first and I thought I was toast. His words were "Man, What the hell you got in that thing". 30 minutes later, a few engine revs, my card with DPs number on the back and they walked away and I was able to breath again.
Bottom line, I you ain't got one of these things, Give Jody a call, Soon. I promise you, you will not regret it.

Barry,

Awesome story.
