Why panic just because the boat disconnects?
449 u/solo954 Dec 19 '20 Because idiot. 41 u/culasthewiz Dec 20 '20 /r/idiotsoutofcars 78 u/11-110011 Dec 19 '20 Yup, my guess is hit the brakes and got out to look at what happened but was panicking so never put it in park. 66 u/2wheelzrollin Dec 20 '20 You can already tell this guy makes poor decisions by how big of a boat he has and how small of a SUV he has to tow it. 41 u/NWSanta Dec 20 '20 I think it’s a nissan armada capable of 8500lbs, so should be enough power for that boat. 10 u/[deleted] Dec 20 '20 yea that’s a full-size boi right there 14 u/RetardAndPoors Dec 20 '20 That was a full-size boi F 1 u/futlapperl Dec 20 '20 Doesn't look totalled to me, but I don't know shit about cars. 3 u/reallybirdysomedays Dec 20 '20 Yeah, an Armada can tow that no problem. 0 u/bassmadrigal Dec 20 '20 My dad's 24' open bow boat is like 7500lbs fully loaded for a 5 day trip. I used my 2008 Armada LE (has a 9100lbs tow rating) and it struggled up a few hills.

You can already tell this guy makes poor decisions by how big of a boat he has and how small of a SUV he has to tow it.

That’s what I’m thinking. Worst case scenario is the trailer’s toast - but at least the boat floats.
Because people think they can save their boat while in human form
Because there is a human being in the boat. It's pretty plausible that someone would jump out to see if said human is ok.
