A Fun days start

Well this morning I get a call from a buddy, he and his friends decided on a late night boating outing. Well from what I have placed togather this is how things went wrong

First, 5 drunk red necks are needed.

2nd a Very old 12' boat

3rd, More beer.

OK from when I understand they back the boat into the water and while still hooked up started loading it up. (Four ice chest of beer from what I seen , and then started getting in. Boat sank on the trailer.

Then since it was still hooked up, John ( Not his real name ) jumped in his truck a 2008 SSR. and tried to pull it out.

Never less to say, the truck went under with the boat.

After Bill ( Name change also ) Hiked to my place, about 3 miles from the dock.

So I went with him and spent a few hours truck fishing. It took 1 1/2 hours, But with a slow pull I got the truck and boat out of the lake. Never less to say.

Boat is saveable, Truck is most likely a full loss.

I myself so wish I had a camara for this.
