Does hitting the transom on a tree move boat up on the trailer?
 

Would have paid money for a video of this today at the ramp. Guy had a 23 Proline center console that was about 10 inches from hitting the winch stand. So with all his buddies helping/watching he backed the whole tow rig into a ficus tree hoping the boat would slide forward on the trailer. Now this Proline had a single motor hanging on a bracket. The bracket was raping the tree bark but not moving the boat forward.....

My buddy was walking by and couldn't believe it. I was watching it from the ramp, thinking Why is that guy so close to that tree?

It didn't work and they just drove away with the trailer lifting on the hitch ball since the boat was too far back. Of course the van had a church logo all over the side so God must have been helping these future Darwin victims......

WOW,,,thats some crazy people out ther ??!!!:eek:

Funny $hit though.:drink:

Crazy nuts don't they know to just put wd-40 on the bunks leave the straps off and lock the brakes at like 40:evilb:

that woul be sunday mess, not sunday mass....

BTW, the boats for sale..

2001 23; proline
pristine condition

never in salt water, holy water use only

I hate to say it but I used to do this with my Sanger drag boat all the time. It had a low profile trailer that would not allow the boat to come all the way up on the trailer without the nose hitting metal. This will work you just have to be "pro" enough to pull it off!

I got one OFF a trailer one time by tying it to a tree. :drink:

this technique does work..You just have to hit the tree really hard...lol

:eek::food-smiley-007:

The video would have made you a millionaire:ernaehrung004:

Bernie Madoff handles all of my investments so video money isn't necessary at this point....... I can put a good word in for you at my club and maybe he can do some investing for you too! :eek:

Here is the next reality show cameras at the boat launch
