At least the boat will float ;)

At least the boat will float ;)

Agreed.  Put in the plug, disconnect from the trailer and then call the insurance company..

I'm not even sure how that could happen...is that a shot between the waves...?

I actually saw something similar happen to a Toyota pick-up on a beach in Baja.    My guess is that the truck in the pick got stuck and than this pic is after the tide had come in and then back out.   With each surging wave, it sunk a little deeper.

Makes sense. Thank you.

This can happen very quickly too.  It appears there's actually a second vehicle on the left side of the boat/truck that's every-bit as buried.  This is going to require an excavator and heavy equipment to extract.  The trailer and boat may be salvageable, depending on how bad the surf beat them up.  The truck is a total loss.

    That truck has obviously been immersed in salt water.   I'm afraid it might really be classified as "dumpster material" at this point.

I saw this online and it happened in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Strong storm came in, wrong place, wrong time.

Yow! In the original image the surf is crazy to the right...

The flooded parade...what've crazy experience that would be.

   That's gotta be the dumbest, craziest, stupidest most ignorant and pathetic thing I've seen on this Forum, in recent months.

   Oh wait!.............No,no............Sorry.........Maybe your misunderstanding me.  I'm not talking about getting caught in the surf like that.  Hey, things "happen".   I'm talking about that idiotic bow riding Grady White I'm looking at in that photo.  When is that company ever going to get smart and build a boat with some protection.   No doubt, Grady White builds some pretty high quality boats.  I'm just not sure they understand the difference between being able to simply "build" a boat.....and "build" a boat the average person can both afford, and comfortably use;  somewhere around the 42nd parallel. 

   Forgive me, but whenever I see these boats, I can't help but believe the first thing these "designers" see when they open their eyes in the morning is their "own intestines".

   Aaaah..........there.......I feel better now.   Ha

And here I thought it was prep for new paint, an all over sand blasting...

And likely some poor sucker will be buying one of these rigs in a few months.
