I was 10 and launching our boat at the lake. Common sense...once again. Some have it....and....

I mean...obviously it wasn't the weight of the boat that pulled the darn thing into the water, right??? THAT was human error.

If you're ever bored on a sunday, go to your local boat ramp and watch the ameratures launch their boats. I work for Mercury Racing so pretty much every time I go to watertest a finished boat I see something interesting.

Actually, if you were talking about an actual Humvee, it would have just crawled right back out of the lake, assuming the engine was still running and the snorkel didn't submerge.

This however is a glorified Suburban and will be doing nothing of the sort.
