The operator seemed clueless from the very beginning of the video... Looked like he had just woke up. He almost looked Confused.

Doesn't an Apache have the power to just pull the dock with him?

That's what I expected to happen. Something like one of those large floating docks broken off of Grand Lake during a storm, trailing 9 SeaRays and 3 MTIs behind him.

The water was far to smooth for that. Had there been 4-5 footers out there, he would have pulled the dock out without even realizing it.

I was hoping for total cover destruction. Hung on the pole, in the outdrives etc.......

I was shocked the guy even got the boat started.... I heard Apaches wouldn't even run until waves were over 4 feet.

I do stupid things all the time. We all do. I'm just smart enough not to record it and then post it to the internet !

If it's not caught on film/vid and i don't remember it, it never happened ! LOL.

Back in the day Merc had a dock test for their engines and drives. Tie up the boat tight and drop the hammer.
