Sorry but I dont get the humor. I see a nice SUV pulling a vintage boat trailer. So what! May the guy borrowed the boat to take his kids fishing. Maybe he is on a budget and cant afford a big car loan and a big boat loan. Maybe he owes onthe car but the boat and trailer are paid for. That would put him ahead of the guy struggling to pay for a fancy truck, and a fancy boat, and forewheeler, not counting his big over priced house. Some people are sacrificing just to put and old boat and trailer on the water. Ya'll are laffing at something you know absolutely nothing about. I went to the new bass pro shop in Rockwall and like to have dropped my false teeth when I saw the $47,000 price tag on of those bass boats. If i had $47,000 I sure wouldn't blow it on a boat. I'd get me a fine looking SUV and put some $1000 wheels on it.

Here is my two cents... I have a 1k dollar kayak, and would love to see someone laugh at me driving down the road because of what is hanging out of my little truck that has big wheels on it. For one, I will beat anyone to the water. Hook up a heavy boat to your bumper and try me... Secondly, I can fish places where a boat can't. Skinny water and marshes are my favorite places to fish. I know there are many flats boats out there that can draft pretty shallow, but like I said, I can fish places they can�t. I find myself chuckling when I see a �ghetto� rig, but I never underestimate a fisherman because of what he rolls in. My buddies beat 150 power boats, taking first place in a saltwater tournament held in Galveston out of 1k dollar plastic boats�

Dang some of ya'll really read to much into this IMO. Yeah it's funny, as is my rigged-up van and rigged-up boat! If someone wouldn't laugh at my setup I'd think there's something wrong with 'em. I'll bet that was source for some great laughs for the owner of that combo. "I wonder what people'll think of this..." they thought.

At first sight, without a second thought, it looks funny because the boat looks out of place. Thats it and nothing else! If I drove by a man in ragedy clothes fishing off of a bridge with a coke bottle w/string wrapped around it(and I have seen it more than once), I would not laugh or chuckle b/c he is obviusly fishing for food for himself or his family. And he is obviously doing his darndest to provide the best that he can! However, if I drove by a man dressed in bling, fishing with a $200+ spinning setup, holding it upside down and reeling backwards, I would probably laugh my arse off, as would everybody else I know. If you cant see a little humor in life, why live? My .02
