Reminds of the when I used to work in the boatyards. The salesman and one of the service writers took Slickcraft out one night, 3 sheets to the wind of course. Next morning we mechanics come to work and find the salesman buying us all breakfast and asking us to haul the boat and fix it on the sly. Seems they ran over a green can (huge green scar running the length of the hull), jumped a rocky (big rocks) sand bar by running inshore of the bouy marking the point and not knowing quite how they found their way home. They were doing this typical drunk fashion, full throttle

See this stuff all the time. We had someone killed this year due to drunk boating. Gives us guys who stay at the dock and drink a bad name.

how exactly did he manage to do this?

looks like he dumped it off a lift when he was trying to get it in the water.

yup it tried to take off

he was drunk and ran full speed up onto the beach clearing the beach over a rock pile and rested gently on top ov a seawall so the only option we had was to crane it up and flatbed it away

boat value over 280 grand
