Pulling a boat out of water the wrong way

Pulling a boat out of water the wrong way

Pulling a boat out of water the wrong way, can't believe they hooked the tow cable to the bumper.

Well....I know what the caption says, but I'm not sure it was on the bumper. When it broke, it ripped the cab off its mounts. I would think if it was just the bumper, it would have broke way before that. OTOH, how big was the boat it took them 3 trucks to get it out?

No, it took 3 trucks to almost get it out. I have to admit I was waiting for it to roll back into the water taking all 3 trucks with it...

True that! I wonder how long it took them to figure out that mess?

If you look, the cable was hooked ot the tow hook on the frame, but I'll bet it was right beside the hinge for the cab and the tow hook pulled out of the frame and took the cab hinge and the cab with it.

Bunch of morons.

THIS is how you pull a boat out of the water.

If you're gonna do it that way, at least get a cable that is long enough to go through both tow hooks and equalize the force.
