<br /><br />Not really much to say; is there?<br /><br />Any possibility it's just "Photoshop"?<br /><br />I hope so...looks pretty scary if it's real. I think there's a trailer under the boat....with it's wheels removed. You can just barely make out the axels. I wonder how he winches the thing up there...and I wonder what keeps of from falling off???<br /><br />Thanks for reading, Chuck

Dunno. If so, it's a good job - tiedown straps in the back, frame across back of truck cab, truck squat. Looks real to me.

WTF?....that has got to be one of the funniest thing i ever saw. What sane person would do that? I can't imagine what the local enforcement would say. It has to be photoshop otherwise he would have to tow a crane with it to get it off and on.....

I see some additional mechanical things at the front of the pickup bed. Could that be some hydraulics or a winch arrangement to slide the entire wheel-less trailer into the water and retrieve it?

If I had to guess, I'd say this was a fleeing LA/MS resident prior to Katrina. I saw plenty of pics of overloaded vehicles around that time.<br /><br />If not, that is one expensive boat trailer!<br /><br />Is that a T100 Duallie? Weird.<br /><br />spots

I looks like you'd have to back in quite a ways to float the boat off.

that is totally photoshopped. You can see the trailer's fender in reddish orange color and the truck's fender is dark red. The front wheel is different then the rear and since they didn't do a good job, the truck appeared to have duallies.

Re: I wonder if anyone has seen this picture?

If it's Photoshop, somebody went to alot of trouble for a lame subject. The lighting is correct as are the shadows (you can see the shadow of the tounge behind the truck's rear tire) most pranksters forget stuff like that. The shot of the boat/trailer is at a weird angle, you would have to stand on a ladder to get that same shot. All possible in pshop, just seems like overkill for an uninteresting subject.<br /><br />Now if they'd have put Kong driving the RV...<br /><br /><br />spots

I am a beginner in photoshop but it's really fun to play around with. Hope this is not to far off topic.<br /><br />Here is what someone sent to me and then I made my own version below it. :D <br /><br /> <br /><br />

It may look alittle strange but I hang around with some serious "off roaders" and would not put anything past their ability to come up with a creative solution to the problem of bringing the boat and a tow vehicle along on an RV trip. <br />Give some guys a welder and some pipe and they can build anything

Why didn't the pick-up just tow the boat and follow the RV. Assuming this pic. is real. One track minds...
