OK, who was this?

Fell on the throttle or accidental bump ? not sure how that could happen power loading doesn't look like its needed at that ramp and to completely miss the trailer while trying to power load. Maybe super strong current
 
I can see it happening. someone was power loading or driving it up and then may leaning over checking to see if it is on then bumped the throttle without kill switch.
 
Looks like the boat went left of the trailer with a lot of speed as the pole on that side is pushed in.

Or was the boat tied to the dock when the trailer backed in?

Interesting. Maybe. But I would think you would hear it hitting the back of the truck bed before it got to far.
 
I'm not here to judge but.......there was a 30 pack of Natty Light involved in that trailering episode. :)
 
Looks like the wrong trailer for the boat...
That was my initial thought as well. Almost looks like somebody hammered their throttles by mistake and the boat took off towards land. I dont think the boat has the thrust needed to get to where its at in the pic without a good running start.

Same thought, and I'm wondering if the truck was there to pick up their boat, when the Yamaha came in a lot too hot and ended up there

This looks like a pic taken from the water - maybe the truck's intended boat?
 
At first I was going to say Photoshop.... or maybe one of the new AI engines decided to have some fun..... but the driver's taillight is busted out so it must be legit.
 
I'm going with Whisky Throttle
 
Looks to me that is a single axle aluminum I-beam trailer and a single set of bunks. Not the one for that boat.
 
If it was me, I would NOT admit it. If it was not my fault I would tell the whole story.

I don’t see anyway it could be the truck driver’s fault, unless he or she was sky high on something while backing down the ramp.

In any case, it’s a great pic to warn people not to loiter at the ramp, where the water meets the land (aka the “kill zone” imho).
 
WTF (What the Florida) strikes again.
Closer examination, it is a Florida license plate! Just an FYI, I have a single engine Yamaha, and we do not have a Tundra… just want to toss that out there…. ?
 
obvious that the boat went UP the ramp quite a way and wedged itself into the side of the tiuck as well as the dock
 
My guess is that this was a theft gone awry.

We can all see that it’s the wrong trailer, and it appears to me it’s late model boat. The operator obviously came in on the left side of the left trailer guide, either way too fast or gassed it hard, looks like they were in a hurry.
 
I’m thinking it was rookie guest driver, maybe a spouse / wife.

yeah I said it but wouldn’t if it was my wife.
