    Default Boat launch procedure...

    He just bought a new boat and decided to take her for the maiden voyage.

    This was his first boat and he wasn't quite sure of the exact Standard Operating Procedures for launching it off a ramp, but figured it couldn't be too hard.

    He consulted his local boat dealer for advice, but they just said "don't let the trailer get too deep when you are trying to launch the boat".

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

    Anyhow, here's a picture of what happened next!!

    Your gonna love this guy!!!

    Guess that's what you'd call a flooded engine.
