Not sure if it's been posted before, but I just found it and couldn't believe it.

I think he realized he forgot to put the plug in and didn't want the boat to fill up with water.

Wow good thing he wasn't the little Dutch boy that saved Holland..He would have blown up the Dike to create a Dam

I once saw someone arrive at the ramp with there freshly rebuilt 69 camaro RS-SS and a brand new Sanger Hydro. He backed down the ramp and got out to take the tie downs off after he got out something happened to the parking brake (he left the motor running) and the entire rig rolled back in to the water, the boat was still strapped the trailer so it when right under. When all was said and done the entire rig was in 40 feet of water and required a diver and two tow trucks to retrieve it. The 3 year total rebuild was just completed and he had not raised his insurance from when got the car (a roach) so he only had it insured for $10,000 (now worth $50K)

You're looking at the guy who when he's 80 will mistake the accelerator for the brake and drive his car through A Starbucks window.

Would like to know what the story is. Seems a tad bit overboard for forgetting your drain plug.

An Apache would have crushed that concrete like a jackhammer all the way to the next adjacent lake....which is really saying something when you consider the video is from Havasu.

Someone on another forum said those come with a LH prop and the guy probably swapped it for a RH and freaked out when it went the wrong way. Made sense to me, if you look at it in the beginning it looks like he's trying to pull back up to the concrete and it goes in reverse. Probably panicked after that. Not sure why it sounds like its on the limiter lol that was just a bad decision.
