Be careful how you launch your boat

Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if that white truck further up the ramp had a winch on it. How could you drive a fully submerged truck out of the water. It would be sucking water into the crankcase and short out the ignition

When I used to fish a lot I saw this 4 times, 1 time was great the dam boat was still on the trailer lol. One really crazy one was on the northeast ramp and a camero drove straight into the water thinking it was a road. I was fishing close by at night and saw the whole thing. I can tell you 2 trucks couldn't pull that car out, they had to bring a big dozer in due to the car being full of water and also the drag and grade they were on. I caught 3 fish while watching this go down.

I don't have a boat. But I was camping at the edge of San Carlos many years ago. I slept in the back of my truck, and when I woke up in the morning the water was six inches or so up the side of my tires. That is about as submerged as I have ever been,

The last time I saw one of these was jet ski rental guy backed into lake and skis floated off the trailer but the truck kept going without him, when the divers went out to hook up the strap they popped up above the truck like 100 yards off shore and had running out of strap. Lol I couldn't believe how far the truck went from shore. Lol
