How did that happen?

Something's not right. They should be wet.

I think the Big guy on the ramp is from the Sheriff boat. The bright guy that couldn't figure out which end to launch the boat is behind the right tire.

When I was newly married and broke all the time my wife and spent a fair amount of time at the local marina on the weekend when not fishing.

Cheap entertainment it was,after a day in the sun and to much beer they would come in:lol: crash and burn,the ramp could handle three,there might be a dozen out there waiting and running into each other even saw a few fights,yipe fun in the sun in Long Bch Calif.:biggrin:

Yea, Those boat ramps can really be entertaining. You name it, launching without drain plug, attempting to launch with boat still tied down, racing the motor with the prop out of the water, etc.:lol:

Too extreme for stupidity. No one that dumb could have made it as far as the ramp towing a boat.

I'm guessing marital discord. Bossy guy yelled at his wife one time too many.:o

Cypress, And that's how I launched all the time. No plug,tied to the trailer and starting with the motor up. Well, my new boat doesn't have drain plugs..... :smug: So they'll have to laugh at someone else!:!:

They'll no doubt sue the city for not providing launching instructions at the ramp.

Those ramps can get pretty slick. Looks like the left rear tires were sliding when the truck went in the water. Probably trying to be funny with a quick stop at the waters edge and things went bad from there.

I used to live close to a lake ramp that would take up to a dozen boats at a time. Holiday and weekend ramp watching was prime entertainment. Cars in the water, boat plugs forgotten, husbands and wives screaming turn it the other way "you marooon"

Now thats fun!!

I've done 2 of those and it's embarrasing. In San Diego at the Shelter Is launch ramp, they have the SD outboard club. They sit all day and watch the commotion at the launch ramp.
