Seeing pictures like this makes me ask "What was he thinking?"
Why would you drive forward down the ramp with the boat on the back? I just don't get it...

that just hurts to look at. i wonder if his insurance company will buy this.

I think he'll be paying a sizeable STUPID TAX on this one..

I knew a guy that accidently did that on purpose to get out of a bad loan on the truck so who knows.

I've thought on a reply for several minutes but honestly just can't find the words that "launch" deserves
STOOPID just doesn't cut it

no boss, i think chris figured it out. easy way to get out of a loan.

Ouch, that is insurance fraud and that would have gotten him is big trouble had he gotten caught.

Just how do you EXPLAIN to your adjuster what happened?

You were making a U turn to line up and back her in?

You dropped your cigg butt and your pants caught on fire and the only thing to do was punch it to the water??

There was this blonde in a bikini walking down the dock and well...Next thing I know I am in the water??

I wuz motoring down a backwater on the mississippi in a 20 horse flat bottom stick steered boat one day and there was this dish laying on her back in the sun on a big basswood laydown............hit a stump that put my engine sticking straight up in the air. She fell off the tree laughing at me.

I have a feeling it was a setup.

I think he didn't realize the water got deep so fast. After all, that tugboat looking boat to the right is barely under water.. how come it's so shallow over there?!

Yes it would have, I could never do it. It will come back to bite him some day. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed, or is he?

A man once said "you can't fix stupid" Ron White. The tow truck driver will rat him out for sure so rule out the bad loan theory.

If you zoom in , you will see SHERIFF on the side of the tugboat looking thing...LEO was on it !

Actually the most probable answer may be on the pole above him. Does that say "Tie up" or "tide up"? If he parked at low tide and then the tide came up, he would have been in the water at high tide, especially if he rolled in further when he panicked or when the brakes failed when they got soaked.

looks like TIE UP to me


if you look closely, you can see the cable pulling the rig out of the water. i bet he backed in, floated around a bit, and they reeled him in by the trailer. that's a pretty good spot to set the hook.

This is what I heard about this pic and seems to make the most sense. Looks like he forgot to unhook the boat from the trailer.
