The Ford had a problem with the transmission???
 
The whaler only has forward, so the truck was sacrificed.
 
Maybe the driver fell asleep and the tide came in.
 
They said to put the trailer in up to the top of the fenders!
 
When you simply can not back up the trl.
Resort to plan C
To bad it was a Ford. The resistance on the front grill stalled the engine. :smt021
 
It's been a while since I had a boat on a trailer, but I never remembered doing it that way....:wow:
 
Another possibility............note the law next to the dock. Probably had an expired registration decal (port side) so to hide it he tried to launch keeping the starboard side of the boat facing the cop. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for posting this, I may buy my 1st trailer this year and will remember what not to do.
 
Clearly this guy has a problem with reverse for both the boat and truck. He was hoping to drive the truck in deep enough to let the boat float off, then circle the truck out in the water and bring it all back. Makes perfect sense to me.
 
Too many items on his things to do list.
:smt115 I know, Splash the truck for a quick rinsing while he launches the boat :smt038
 
Well, as I was aproching the ramp this weekend, I saw a lady at the top of the ramp that had a trailer at a 45* angle to her truck. So, this doesn't really suprise me.
 
Nah, Your all wrong. He had to wash out his floorboards after gonig offroading and thoight the 6 ft deep mud puddle was only 6 inches and got her stuck over the headlights and had mud rush in the open driver door after deciding to abandon ship. Do you know how many quarters it taked to wash that kind of mess from your truck.
(I never thought to use a lake):huh:
