JB,<br /><br />Did we post over each other or did you move it? I posted it under "Stupid Human Tricks".

That's like an oversized James Bond boat. That's amazing. I wonder if the captain played it off like nothing happened.

I guess everyone will think twice telling someone that dunked their motor "It's Trashed"<br /><br />I can't believe it, if there weren't pictures...<br /><br /> :eek:

I couldn't figure out how to post a photo on here this afternoon, but if any of you guys want to see the stupidest human trick with a boat (2nd best to Tugboat), drop me an email and ask me for the picture. It was just sent to me by a friend today and it's a freakin' riot.<br /><br />Email: txsriverrat@hotmail.com

Re: I want a boat that can do this!!

is it possible that we are being hoaxed?<br />this tug must have awesome bilge pumps, <br />and how did it catch up to the barges? wouldn't they have been swept away,<br />or how did the barges get past the bridge?<br />with photo editing software you can't even believe photos anymore.

Hats off to the talented photo manipulator. <br /><br />In the 8th picture the tow boat is 60% under water and in the real boat world that means you are going to the bottom.<br /><br />Thanks for the photos

Where did you get that notion, Happy? <br /><br />Many boats are 60% below the surface level in normal trim.<br /><br />Having read the original news story plus a narrative from the Captain (this actually happened about 1975) I am satisfied that it really happened.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB :)

Re: I want a boat that can do this!!

my recollection from long time ago physics is that a cubic foot of water weighs about 62 pounds.<br />now what should we do with this information?
