Just thinking about a scoop I lost while tuning my boat I had pulled the scoop off to get to the carb left it off to make a pass turn my head to check things out and it was gone the worse part of it I just had it for one hour from the paint shop   OK guys lets here it.
   

OK Brian you asked for it  You DUMBASS how the hell could you let that happen, you are so meticulous about things, things that make ya go hmmmmmmm

About 4 years ago I was moving from San Diego to Bullhead City. I got a job in BHC and saved enough money to go back down to SD and pay a friend to take my boat (20' Spectra at the time) to Yuma to boat for the weekend, then the rest of the way to BHC. Anywho we had a blast, I topped her off with 55 gallons ($3.50 at the time) and took off to Piccacho in the boat. I always kept my wallet in a side pocket next to the forward/reverse cable. I came back that night and put it on the trailer only not to be able to find my wallet. We took all the seats out, interior out, searchin for that thing. I had about another 500 bucks in it along with all my bank cards and credit cards. Couldn't find the thing, so my buddies had to pay with their credit cards to get back to SD. I left the boat at a friends house in Martinez luckily so I would only have to go half way. So I was stuck in SD for about a month working on the side just to save enough money to get back to my place in BHC (I flew from Bhc to SD to get my boat lol). And also on the way home my backpack somehow flew out the back of the truck, so I was without clothes   and then the tranny in the truck overheated by Golden Acorn, and just decided to sleep in the truck overnight (it had been a long weekend).

I know no one went in my boat during that trip to the sandbar, no one would have a reason to lol, it was ugly as sin. And I know my close friends wouldn't take it, they paid for the trip back home. So after selling the boat the owner ripped every last thing out of the boat, including the fiberglass tanks, but alas there was no wallet like I was planning to see.

Another time I left a Solar Battery Charger on the scoop on the Hondo, and decided to take off.... oops.

lost my scoop at bv, then lost a pair of oakly's the same trip i dont think bv likes me

Nacemiento has my: Ray Ban sunglasses (ever notice how long you can hang on to cheapie sunglasses?), a Mercury propeller wrench, a brand new marine deep cycle battery and a mud anchor.

So I'm running across the lake at the end of a long day of goofing around and the wind comes up like a mother...There were literally white caps...The boat starts to slow up but the engine speed is increasing    Apparently lost the hub on a prop (Bravo I cruiser), so I grab the spare prop and throw the anchor out (in the middle of the lake) so I can change the prop. I hang over the back of the boat and remove the old prop and get the spare on and go to tighten the nut and "kerplunk", the wrench goes over.... So I got the prop tightened with an adjustable knuckle ripping SOB. We go to take off and I forgot about the damn anchor (was already pissed about the wrench so this really pisses me off) and I grab my hat and go to throw it under the deck and my shades were on my hat..."kerplunk"   ....So FOCK it! we head back to the campground and figure I'll write the rest of the evening off and enjoy some frosty adult beverages and have some BBQ...

Unfortunately it wasn't over...Our freinds boat would not start and he had to move it around into the cove because of the hurricane force winds and the battery was shorted, sooooo I go grab the one week old deep cycle from my boat to get his started and move it. Easy right? WRONG! as I'm sitting on the transom, I go to grab the battery and set it in the boat, it slides right off the newly waxed surface right into the friggen lake..you got it..."kerplunk" yet again, it was in about 15' of water, so I go and get a ski rope and go down to tie it off to bring it up and it was getting dark as hell, found it, tied it off, brought it up, dead as a door nail    Fook me! LOL

Now I carry a 20' set of jumpercables, cheap sunglasses, my new prop wrench floats   , and I always tie the anchor rope end to the steering wheel so as not to forget.

Thanks for the memories

  My kid said Dad that doesn't look like a good idea to leave it on the seat I said its fine now sit down and hold on all day long I heard his voice saying Dad I told you.

I lost my perscription sunglasses while making a hard pass in my old boat.
I lost my smoking utinsil, lighter, and a bag of trees. All of it slid right off the deck when a wakeboard boat came cruising by. Thanks wakeboarder....now I must roost you!

Also lost my scoop. Took it off at the house to do some tuning. Set it back on and off to the lake I went. I looked in my mirror just at the right time to see it flying in the air!

Good thread!!

  that sux,I would have been going crazy

A bag of trees huh n8 lmao. About 15 years ago I took an employee of mine for a boat ride in my old k boat. He climbes in my rear facing back seat with his hat, his mixed drink,and a pack of smokes. We (me ,him, and my roommate) are on the water about 1 minute and some guy thinks he needs to race me. Soooo after a wot run, I let off the gas and look over my sholder to see how he liked his 1st boat ride. The focker is gone. I kill the motor and jump to me feet to see if I can find him. After looking for a second or 2 I glance down.....and there he is, curled up in the fetal position under my exaust log. All of his smokes and his ice cubes are floating around him. I yell at him you scared the f@@k out of me wtf are you doing down there. He says I felt like I was going to fly out so I dove down here. Swear to god...

It was only funny cause he dident get hurt!


Wich is more than I can say for Ralph's hornet!

x2

Wasn't it The Chaz that got lost while being towed in?    Funniest story ever!

On a diffrent occasion Brad actually flew out of the back of my boat! He was standing up taking pictures when Ralph and I "BUMPED" into each other , and a minute or two later looked back and realized Brad was no longer in the boat!

Does losing my pride count? Back when I had the Miller...
Tom (JBP) met up with us at Naci one time and he happened to have his gps. I was thinking 70 at least, but was dissapointed when I came back with 62mph.
