A Wild Boat Launch
 
i've read that in some places in alaska the tides are as much as 14 feet and a launch like this one is common.

I've never seen it done like that before. That guy on the tractor is crazy.

holy mother of god you have to have some serious faith in a lot of different pieces of equipment to do that!!!

from the looks of things that boat doesn't seem to healthy. looked like it had a healthy list to the port side...

The dude in the tractor either has a set of brass ones or is as stated nuts...

my guess is that it took on quite a bit water with the last big wave that hit it.
causing the port side list. bilge pumps will pump it out i guess...

i bet thats the easy part, just put the trailer in the water a bit and run the boat right on. that boat trailer has guides on it, so the boat won't be to far off center
