This is very old, has been posted and debunked many times on the pwc
boards. The pictures are in reverse from what happened, look closely
and notice the blue rope between the truck and the 'ski.

Not sure on that one. I sometimes self launch a bass boat
single-handed, dry-foot, by feeding the painter (bow-line) into the
truck cab or making the end fast to the truck bed.
I reverse smartly so the boat floats off the trailer - then pull
forward a little so I am stepping on dry ramp.
I walk round the truck, pull in the painter, haul the boat into the
dock, fasten, then park the truck/trailer.
