I hope not.
Not only hurt the truck but the persons pride too.

I can only guess that they forgot to put on the emergency brake.

Nice boat. I prefer to back mine in though.

On a serious note, they did have their window down. I always lower my windows and remove my seatbelt when backing a boat into the water.

it looks like the boat was trying to launch the truck instead of the normal way that the rest of us do it.

See what happens when you don't treat your Boston Whaler well!

Well, it's Marina del Rey, California. Haven't been out for a few weeks, so I hadn't heard about it. The license plate looks like it's from Arizona. I'll be down there in the next week or so and I'll find out what happened.

That's what you get when the people from the desert try to launch from the beach. On the upside, at least they didn't leave the tie downs on the transom, you know how embarrassing it can be when you float the trailer.

Joe,

I was at the West Marine in Madison, WI this last weekend and they had this photo taped to the counter.

What's an Auburn Tiger.

Something like what is on Monster Quest?
Like Bigfoot in the Northwest or Swamp Skunk in the Florida Everglades?

Auburn tigers football is the rival to the university of Alabama. And In Alabama people shoot and stab over that game.

College football in Alabama is not life and death. It's much more important than that. Roll Tide.

I saw the Auburn photoshop pic you mention, but I couldn't get it to download. If you've still got a copy, please share!

I would love to hear the story behind that photo. There is no way that story could possibly be played down.

My guess is they got out of the truck with it still in drive.

That's a fairly old photo, probably that truck is on the clunker lot now, waiting to be crushed.

I can't imagine anyone ever fessing up to that Saturday boat ramp debacle... Joe if it turns out to be a W.C. member, I suggest you cut'em loose. Could be bad press for the site.

Yall go it all wrong folks: Here is the story.
It is a new boat to this owner, and the man who sold it told him not to get the trailer in the water tooooo much, so he didn't!!!
P.S. this pic is all over Texas also.
Whats his name Saber or something like that is still thinking, gee what if Colt had not gotten hurt???? GO HORNS.
