Can you spot the mistake?

Can you see where he went wrong?

Why does this thing have so much drag?????

he just wants an easy hook up to the trailer

How?

So that's the bow stop and winch still attached to the eye?

How would you not know that happened?

It's not a TX boat? That only happens on our north Texas lakes

Here let me help him out. It was easier to cross the lake and let his friend have the boat instead of driving around the lake?

still on the trailer

at least he doesn't have to load it when ready to leave

Gotta be a Canadian

Photoshop...........

After seeing a guy not unstrap, unhook or plug his boat before he backed it into the lake and immediately slammed it into reverse as soon as it hit the water a few weeks ago. Anything is possible.

Guess someone was heading to his secret spot and he was in a hurry.

I see a logical reason for this...

How is that possible. Has to be photoshop

He sold the whole rig to a guy across the lake!

Mythbusters proved that the boat will float and run with the trailer still attached. They just had a little jon boat so it wouldn't plane out but I am sure in a larger boat a (very) inexperienced boater may not even know at slow speeds. That and maybe he is just a moron.

I read a story about one of the border lakes...I think it may have been Falcon...where thieves stole both boat and trailer and drove them across the lake to a waiting vehicle where they could hook up and go.

I would assume he is transporting his trailer to his 'back yard', where he has a ramp with a winch setup to launch/recover his boat.

Nothing wrong, out-of-picture truck has a snorkel.

"Snorkel" -- haha, there's one funny word for you.

He's just rinsing off his trailer.

...washing off the zebra mussels from his last trip to RR, maybe? ...

Surely there would be more drag/turbulence in the water if it wasn't but really only one way to find out.

Any takers?

We did that a few years ago to get trailer to dock.
Mounted front of trailer to front of slip on a hinge and back to cables to lift.
Of course we took of the tires.
It is heck to drive a boat with the trailer attached.

I bet you were a sight! He has his strapped down with a yellow webbed strap of some sort... What did ya'll use?

Now that's a keel protector!!!

I think there's a few on Cedar Creek just as you describe and that's one way to get them there I guess.

Exactly ....... How does this happen?

Just the rear tie downs on the trailer. They were the lever type. Trailer never moved but the boat plowed and wandered all over. We did it on a very calm day.

Like Razorback said about Falcon lake story Gaylen Gilberth who owned Beacon told me it did happen.

Nothing wrong there. He is probably fishing a tournament. Trailering allowed.

Here's your sign !

lol just adding more to the lake.

Possible during a flood and moving his boat to high ground. Many did this when the Sabine River flooded a few months back.

crazy
