Real or Photoshopped??

[Eagleeye 0]

I received an email today with the following statement.

Quote

He had just bought a new boat and decided to take her for the maiden voyage. This was his first boat and he wasn't too sure of the procedures.

He consulted his local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the boat trailer get too deep in the water, but deep enough that the boat will float”.

Well, he didn't know what they meant by that as he could barely get the trailer in the water

You're gonna love this guy!!!

I argued with someone who thinks that the pic attached below is actually real. Is this just a real good Photoshopped image or am I gullible in thinking that nobody could be that stupid??

You're supposed to put the boat in the water and THEN start drinking the beer...

Hey I saw a guy at a lake in Illinois backing his boat up to the launch ramp with the trailer still strapped under it!

If it's not real, it's a pretty damn good Photoshop job. If it is real, it's a pretty f'in' stupid person, but I know a lot of f'in' stupid people. I can imagine it happening.

My bet is, forgot to set the brake, and walked away!

Ummm, you think that might could happen by accident?

+1.. I think there's a *chance* it might be real..!!

Either way, it made me chuckle!

"Superstitious" is just a polite way of saying "incredibly fucking stupid".

Looks to me like they are setting ropes to drag the trailer out. most likely an accident, bad brakes (no brakes set).
I've seen some prety odd things on boat ramps

How's yours doing?

On the ground, left of the trailer, it looks like marks left by a sliding tire. My guess is the driver, for whatever reason (alcohol? never!), drove up to the ramp too fast and couldn't get whooed up in time.
I'd say that it is real, not Photoshopped.

I've seen some real stupid situations at boat ramps
in my time.
REAL

Did anybody else notice the word "SHERIFF" on the side of the boat tied up to the dock?

So the guy sunk his truck, didn't get his boat launched AND got a DWI...

I used to keep a boat at a certain marina in Oregon. It took me years but I finally got the first slip on the dock right next to themain launch ramp dock. I used to sit there on the aft deck of my boat in the afternoons and watch the drunks coming back to the boat ramp dock to load the boats back on the trailers. You just can't pay for that amount of entertainment.

+1 on that. And like Squeak said, you get to see some pretty funny things at the boat launches.

I can't believe that guy backed the truck up to get the jet ski off the top of the trailer. I was like Dude! Don't back up again!

"Don't! Get! Eliminated!"

I vote for real photo; fake story. These things happen.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

My dad is a deputy sherrif that patrols in boats in the water in Brazoria County.

There is even a Part 2


Like I said before.... I got HOURS of entertainment right there from my teak deck watchin the drunks on weekends for YEARS

The checkbooks are far larger than the amount of common sense it takes to own and operate boats.

The version of it that I got in my email had an Obama08 sticker in the back window. Kinda sad to know that one was photoshopped. Or maybe they just photoshopped it out of this one to protect the guilty.
