    No.

    does anybody think the boat being hooked up to the trailer is keeping the arse end of the truck a little afloat? i have no idea how deep it is there.
    I don\'t care.

      Here is how this happens on that particular ramp...have seen it happen twice before in person.

      And, it is also possible/probable that the driver simply forgot to put the truck in park and got out. But I have seen trucks slid in. The water is not deep near the shore, but too deep where the boat is to be that high. I really think the boat is holding up the trailer in the back, hench the nose down attitude.

          Maybe he doesn't know how to back and was trying to do a u-turn in the lake and drive back up the ramp! Yellow_Flash_Colorz: I think that is the owner at the end of the ramp throwing up!

            I think that guy is trying to punch himself in the nuts.

                We know it took just one Aggie to get into the situation, so my question is: How many Aggies did it take to get it out? I bet they pulled the tow truck in too if it was an Aggie driving Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

                I feel bad for 'em tho.

                I get out of my Suburban all the time to launch my boat (wife driving boat) - this is definitely a scary thought.

                GO TECH!!! GUNS UP!!!

                  Hey, this was no laughing matter! I read where three Aggie students riding in the truck's bed drowned because the tailgate was jammed closed! :grin:
