Would like to see how it got launched and then landed. I've heard about it before but never seen it done. Definitely make some neck strains to take that second look like WT---. HA HA

That’s crazy!

Makes you wonder if that person knows how to load/use a boat properly...

And of course, there’s the classic: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2oq0YNo02KM

This used to be pretty common place. Guys would run their trailer under the boat over to the shoreline and then unload the boat. You pull the trailer up a bit and presto you have your own lake lift for when the weather gets rough. Your boat is high and dry. I can remember dad flinging it at beaver lake all the time during the fishing derby. There would be 20 plus trailers along the shoreline. To many rocks to beat your boat on by pulling is up on shore.

This explains why you see a boat and trailers on the hyw with their axle bearings seized up

No kidding. There is enough that trailers see water from launching. Driving it across a lake so your precious boat has a trailer seems extreme to me. Some new hubs are water proof but I'll but that that particular one is not.

I noticed this the other day and posted it. I couple guys commented that it is a practice some use to get their trailers to their boat access lots. And then store the trailer at the lot.

Having worked a few summers in parks with boat ramps I can say that you can never underestimate the stupid that happens at the lake
