    Launching mishap, don't forget to set the emergency brake...

    A friend of mine forwarded this pic to me, atleast the boat looks okay! I believe this is somewhere in Colorado.

    That's Lake Austin, Texas at the Hula Hut launch.

      Yep the ramp is called Walsh landing.

      That's old (2004 I think) and supposedly the ATM (Texas A&M) logo was chopped in.

        Pretty good photoshop if it was added later.

            Look at the guy bent over at the waters edge. I wonder if that is the truck owner barfing?

              Yes, that is Walsh landing on Lake Austin.

              I've seen the same photo without the A&M sticker.
              I've also seen it with a University of Texas sticker.

                But that wouldn't make any sense. Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

                  maybe im not getting something here, but if the bed of the truck is that low, how are the trailer guides sticking out of the water. Is the boat keeping the trailer for going under?
