Just when I thought I had seen it all at the boat ramp....

Was launching the boat at Hillarys yesterday, I was reversing down the ramp when I see a guy come flying in front of me into another launching lane. Jeez, in a bit of a hurry I thought, but didn't pay any more attention and continued reversing down the ramp. Next minute I hear a bang from down the ramp, look up to see the guy had reversed his boat into a 4WD that was down the ramp launching already! If that wasn't bad enough it turned out the guy was an instructor from a boat school that shall remain nameless!!
