Way back in the early/mid sixties, when I was just a kid, my parents and I were at Lake Ouachita and there were some rocket scientists who pulled a big (for the era) ski boat over there with a VW. Remember this was the early sixties, it could not have been more than a 40HP bug. Maybe even a 36 horse. I don't have a clue how they even got it to the lake with this car but pulling out of the water was priceless. After many failed attempts to get it up the ramp with all hands available pushing on the VW, they came up with a plan. One of them got in the boat and they backed as close to the water as they could and still have room to help push the car. The guy in the boat fired up the outboard and WOT'd it. Still no luck. Never did see how they got it out. Didn't get to stick around long enough.
