See what happens if you don't have Pirelli's? Been boating for years and have seen lots of stuff on ramps that would bust your gut. Watched a teen submerge his girlfriends' small pickup because it was a standard and he had no clue how to drive stick. Watched another couple with obviously their brand new 14" trailered boat. He's doing the 28 point backup routine when she starts screaming at him he is getting the tires wet. This would of course be the trailer tires So they get out and try to push the boat off the trailer, it gets past the tipping point and they smash their brand new motor into the launch pad. I could go on but I'd get writers cramp

I feel bad for the guy, but boat launch follies are the greatest! I lived on a lake when I was a kid, and the boat launch was next door. I would sit there and watch people mess their trucks, trailers, and boats up everyday. They get all flustered, start yelling at each other, etc. It's awesome.

The truck is junk..... I doubt buddy had the thought to shut the truck off when it was rolling in considering he supposedly gassed it so the engine hydrolocked. Just a good boat anchor lol. Salvage the panels that are good and crush the rest of it.
