great shot, how far into the water did the car/trailer need to go to allow the boat onto the trailer?

That car never pulled that boat out of that water. Posed picture. The car would have been just about under water. A tractor pulled that trailer out of the water and the car moved in front of it.

We all know how thin the metal is on our cars. |
