Re: The most ridiculous boat launch ever

I can understand the first car getting stuck, and then maybe the second one. But who in their right mind would think after they have 2 cars stuck in the sand, "what we really need is another truck down here"

That's what rope/chain is for, leave you truck on the beach and tow the idiot out from afar.

Then point him to the closest ramp.

The explorer should be all right, but I'd re-pack all the wheel bearings and replace the oil in the dif.

Dunno about the interior, the door seals are usually pretty good but not for that.

I don?t think they were Canadians, I think they where from Quebec! :D

Heh.

My Lord...it's like flypaper for retards. All that's missing is the Benny Hill theme music.

The explorer should be all right,

....it's a Ford...it will never be all right. Although that kind of abuse would probably leave it running better than when it left the Ford barn....uhh, factory.

The sad thing is that is a nicely equipped Explorer, you can see the leather interior and backup sensors.

I think that is salt water as only Ontario touches the Lake Huron and Lake Ontario, Quebec touches St. Laurence River, but that is to large to be a river. It could be the Hudson Bay or St. Laurence Gulf.

I bet the tide came in

I launch my boat with my explorer all the time. It is lifted with over sized tires and its not re-geared, she never has a problem at the ramp.

OMG ! I'm from Quebec and never seen this one ! It must be a crime to a Quebec citizen to act like this ! Shame !

Unfortunately, they didn't find a cure for stupidity ...

I felt sorry for them. Honestly I did. For almost a whole 3 seconds.

That explorer is going to have one mold and musty smell problem, even if it is fresh water. Unbelievable.

Good find, but it's painful to watch people wreck machines like that. Waterlogged trucks and that boat bouncing on the trailer in the surf.
As mentioned, Benny Hill music would be a good change and then double the speed.

That is actually at Ipperwash Beach. Because the water is so shallow the nearest ramp is about 20 miles down the lake, so everybody launches their boat there, including me. But we all have one of the guys with the old 1940's tractors launch & retrieve for us. Last summer it cost $20.

But that sure is the stupidest thing I've seem in awhile.hahahahahahah

That's great!

Nice 76 Blazer and the Ramcharger too.

Problem was noone knew how to pul someone out, You can't just pull you need to snatch when you have no traction either.

The explorer's gonna need all the fluids changed and still will never be right.
