We've all heard the story about the new Bayliner owner that launched
his boat with the trailer still attached.

I've always put that somewhat in the area of an urban myth.

Now, I'm not so sure.....

Did you see the Mythbusters that did this one?

Turns out that the story is actually true. Only the person did it on

the lake - he couldn't get the trailer in the back yard for storage
any other way.
