Was fishing lake lewisville today and when I got to the ramp to load up I ran into these fellows. Apparantly after getting out their boat began to sink (for what reason I'm not sure) They managed to get it to the ramp and this is how it ended up on the trailer! When they pulled up they were dragging the motor the whole way! Poor guys, that is a bad day at the lake.

WOW! Now that's a BAD day on the lake

lmao, sorry I can't help but laugh

did they rocks at you for taking their pic ?

How do you load a boat upside down?

I was trying to be sneaky about the pics and took them as I was loading the boat. Don't think they even noticed,they had other things to worry about!

Uh....was the plug in?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

Man that sux!!

you would think that loading one upside down would be tough to do.... did you watch it happen?

the way it's sitting on the trailer, you would think they have done this before...

I'm with you on that one.

lmao. sucks for them, does look like they've done it before

Looks like they turned it over to check!!

Ummmm, if it was already sinking, dont you think they could have flipped it over?

Maybe not, but if they can load it on the trailer like that, they have to have some kind of engineering skills


just not common sense...lol

If engineers are involved miracles can happen. I think I will just stick to my pontoon boat.

They shoulda loaded it backwards for the hat trick! How in the world do you load a boat upside down?

that is just awesome, i wouldve had no fear and taken 400 pictures and interviewed everone around the area to get the eyewitness story, haha, about as good as the guy who put bearing grease on the bunks to let his boat slide on better with out wondering how well his boat would be sliding off...

I just don't understand

hmmmmmmm maybe they launched it that way....hmmmmmm

Hey now I cannot say I tried the bearing grease, but I did put those teflon strips on my bunks, and all I can say is thank god the guys that taught me to load/unload years back always insisted on leaving the safety chain and strap attached until the boat was in the water.

The first time I unloaded that thing the boat slid back fast enough that I nearly broke my wrist with the handle of the trailer winch.

Aaron, that is incredible. Amazing what some people can wind up doing. Did you do any good?

Thats sad but good they got it up there

it amazes me how many people still HAVE to take their boats out on days like yesterday !

They have a hole in the in the bottom of boat...Be easy to fix it upside down...lol..

Darn shame too cuz that's a niiiiiiiiiiice boat they got there. And I mean nice....nice I tell ya.

well, duh!

They had a plan after all...

Cool pic. How'd they get it down the road?

Very talented individuals

Man!! Talk about your perfect "Caption Contest" photo!! God, I can think of a "100 of 'em."

(These guys are all graduates of the University of Arkansas School of Engineering. They didn't want to hire no stinkin' UT graduate to help them out.) The true story is that the boat sunk to the bottom of the lake beside the ramp. It was only in about 10" over the gunwales, so the guys just unhooked the trailer from the car, four of them carried it out into the water beside the boat, then flipped the trailer upside down, and strapped it onto the sunken boat. Then they got the help of about twenty gawkers to turn the hole rig back over onto the trailer wheels while still in the water. Backed the car down the ramp, hooked up the hitch, and viola, you got the picture you see. NO UT graduates needed to figure this one out!!!

In forty years of fishin, I thought I'd seen every stupid boating trick out there. However, you got me with this one. I've NEVER seen anything like this before!!! I bet they got some real looks when they got back out on the highway pulling the whole rig home. Imagine trying to explain that one to your insurance agent!!!!

My question would be... "whatcha gonna do now?". Tow it? Flip it? Good job on the save but wow!

How many cases of beer does it take to load a bass boat UPSIDE DOWN on a trailer. LMAO.

"Now what"??? as he scratches his head.

I like Llindex's version

Maybe they wanted to wash the bottom real good!!

bad confused here

looks like the BOAT had too much to drink.

the mermaids flipped it over;)

I agree with you on this one.

Do these guys work for the city? One looks like he is working, one has no clue, and the another with his had on his hip. Yep I knew I had seen them somewhere.

Now that really sucks!

I always have to tell my 6 year not to twist the winch strap when he wants to help load the boat. Now I have an example of what could happen.

Should have left it so I can go catch crappie on it.

Now that's funny.

ouch

No worries, I've got some duct tape and a hammer.
I can fix it!

HAHA....sorry thats funny

wow thats a new way to ride

Softest one here !!!

Very sad,,,,,,,,,, That hurts the wallet...

I wanna watch them launch that submarine the next time they head back out to the lake!

That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen LOL

At what point do you go, "Hmmm, maybe I should put it on UPSIDE-DOWN"?

That's funny too.

ehh just blame it on the wind lol thats insane

flip the ball upside down and then flip the trailor of course
