the problem was he didnt go fast enough to get the trailer into the water. he needs to go back and put a bigger motor in the truck or he will never get out fishing.

That cannot be a real picture! I have seen some real silly pics/videos of vehicles (mind you, I don't claim to be perfect at the ramp) but that definitely tops the cake for me.

We were just in Orlando for a Disney vacation saw something pretty much exactly like this on the local news, I'm not saying this picture is real, but it happens!!! Though to be fair that guy went in backwards, didn't set his brake or something...truck jackknifed the trailer underwater and was 100% submerged.

It was funny because the boat was still above water but they had to drain the boat when they got it out of the water....the guy forgot to put the plug in LOL...

The unsinkable 17' Boston Whaler still on the trailer, and the very sinkable F150 in the drink, another boat ramp genius. It makes you wonder...

I had to call the water patrol at LOTO last year for a guy at PB#2 that sunk his trunk all the way to roof.

I pulled a F250 out of the drink, the guy set the park brake, got out & the truck & trailer rolled right in. The clearance lights were 6in below the surface when it stopped.
