Doubt I’d have the stones to do that in such an expensive truck but gotta admit was pretty cool.

I’d like to see him try that at the Little Alabama launch.

This… and why wouldn’t one of the others be smart enough to get in the boat, and back it off the trailer, instead of running alongside in the water?

Forget about the water, I'd be more worried about the truck getting stuck in the sandy bottom.

That whole video is full of morons.

And that is why you don’t buy trucks off of Craigslist.

Super douche to go at a speed where old people are running alongside to keep up. Inconsiderate prick trying to show off. Nothing more

And what I got out of it was, how I remember having excitable young kids oblivious to things going on around them frolicking and playing in the water. Good for them.
Also glad I don’t have young kids anymore - I don’t have the energy.

Also that was the dumbest boat launch I’ve ever seen.

I wonder how expensive it is to replace/grease that R1 “wheel bearings”? No idea on electric drive train…My experience with boat trailers even with constant grease maintenance has not been great!

Bear Lake is a total shitehole. Don't ever bring your family their for a vacation. Worst area in the country
