that was a big ole 
!! How come you didn't take pix of the 
s and the 
s? So we coulc get the full experience. I've seen this happen to another ford explorerer at the local boat launch just up the street. However they were launching a 20-24' boat. lmaoI can't tell you what I pulled it out with (bowtie), but he hooked his end of the chain! Once on dry ground he had the brains to ask "Spose I could start it up?" I shoulda said... sure be my guest I don't think all that water in the cylinders will interfere with her firing once it's blown out the tailpipe!... or all that extra water in the crankcase will jus thin the oil down a little. But naw, I said the only place this thing is gonna start is to start up onto the bed of a tow truck.
Some people's kids just hafta learn the hard way!

Saw a Chevie Blazer go out with the tide at Juneau AK in 1991.
Not a boat launch situation, but he drove it out on the sand at low tide to fish and it wouldn't start when the tide started in. They hand carried as much as they could before it disappeared - 20 to 30 foot tides. The next low tide it wasn't visible. Don't know if it sank into the sand or floated to deeper water.
