Check this out…There were 900 people watching this guys live feed on YouTube yesterday. Expecting more today. I don’t think its 50 ton but that’s a lot of boat for a trailer. No one knows why they waited until December 14th. Follow this guys You Tube its a Sh.. Show.

From what I hear the story goes that the new owner of the boat was trying to get it delivered to the Miss River but it was going to cost a ton for a shipper to get her there. So.... he decided to build a trailer for it to do it, but the trailer took longer than expected to build. The local marina that has a lift apparently washed their hands of the deal for some reason.
 
Dang. Was this yesterday? The fog was crazy all day before the storms hit.

edit: and now we're expect a hard freeze.

Ohh man...this is a great way to lose an entire day on the internet.

That live stream is hilarious. The comments are priceless. The boat is still in the water...

It is...

Thanks a lot @Three Seasons . It's a slow week this week, and now I'm really doing nothing but watching this catastrophe about to unfold. :(
 
This started yesterday morning on The Hull Truth, up to 5 pages now…..

In Lake Minnetonka in MN they are trying to figure out how to get this 60ft Chris Craft Roamer out of the lake. There is a huge back story on this. It used to be a charter boat in the lake. They drove it through 6 inches of ice to get to the landing.
 
1700 viewers now. I'm sad to say it was 500 when I started during my lunch hour. Best reality TV I've seen...
 
It’s live streaming now, Another tow truck has arrived. There is a very big concern that the boat may fall off the trailer sideways, the side stays are undersized on this homemade trailer.
 
This is the link to the live stream
WOW...!
 
Over 2100 viewers now! They have moved it 1’. I hope no one gets hurt, this is like watching NASCAR
 
I can't quit this. I wonder how much of the boat ramp they can destroy before this is all over?

Did they get it out?

Mostly. The Boat/Trailer/TowVehicle are still on the ramp, the wheels of the trailer are out of the the water by a foot or two. Nothing remains in the water.

I seriously doubt the tow vehicle can pull the load up the ramp and wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing falls over on the Starboard side when they make the right turn near the top of the ramp.
