You're all wrong. It was a cruiser wake that caused everything.

Now I wish I had video at the boat ramp when person trying to pull a deck boat with 12 people on board. He was spinning his tires. Five or more people got in the bed of the truck to get traction as he crested the ramp bottomed out the truck. Next year going to set and video boat ramp on july 4.

WTF, that would sure piss me off. Was that a Tahoe or Escalade "hooked" to the pontoon? Sad to see he had to get help to pull the pontoon out. Weighing what maybe 3500# at most.

Ramp looked in perfect condition as well. Whole setup look doomed to fail

Pontoons are magnets for husky chicks, and Dodges are magnets for pontoons (as demonstrated here), ergo Dodges must be magnets for husky chicks.... Don't buy a pontoon.

If that would have been a Cummins instead of a gasser, the tow mirrors would have TOTALLY deflected that pontoon from hitting the truck bed.

I think they needed to pull it out faster...20 MPH is not enough.
