Surprisingly, I’ve only managed three on this list so far and none of the positive ones.

If you leave a cove and your anchor is still down how many points is that? (Tied up to other boats and just dropped in, not set). Asking for a friend...Also I saw a guy do it last weekend and his bow ladder was also down, so my “friend” felt a little better. Of course the friend yelled to the guy and let him know before he got to far. The “friend” actually got up to 20 before realizing his own mistake. There may have been offspring tubing at the time.??‍ This has to be big points.

Over confident, with piloting boats leads to driving truck in reverse and takes out neighbor’s mailbox. Result mailbox uprooted and crushed, did not go down without a fight though, tail lense busted. $40.00 to fix mailbox + $75.00 for replacement tail lense, embarrassment priceless!

Wait, were you trailering the boat when you hit the mailbox? With boat 200 pts, without boat 500 pts!

Does it have reverse camera? If so add another 500 pts. If it also has object warning, add another 250.

Yes, I learned the hard way, that if you make contact with the solely the lense , basically on an angle, the sensor will remain silent. You hardly feel a jolt and only hear a crunch. Followed by expletives. What I needed was a navigation system that was equipped with a AIS system.
