Title: Bass Pro is trying something new

Underwater Shopping!  For those of us who can not bear to leave the lake, BPS brought the lake to the store.

Actually, this is the BPS in Nashville.  The floods have pretty much destroyed the whole area.  So sad.

What do they do in a situation like that? Tow the boats away? At first I thought about just taking them off the trailers tie them up but it would be hard to get them back on the trailers. Fortunately I don't know from experience but will the trailer float with the boat still attached?

I have seen a number of floating trailers over the years when someone forgets to take off the straps. I don't have a list of brands and models where this works though.

Well at least their aquarium fish got to roam free for a while ...... Can hear em now, " Large mouth and Carp - Aisle 3 ........ no really get a net they're in Aisle 3 !"

(Remember all drains lead to the ocean  :o ;D)

That's where I bought my boat. That's a big mall with the expressway right there. The expressway must be completely underwater. What a shame.

Here's the complete story. They had flash floods that overran the city. The saddest news ever is that the Grand Ol Opry was a casualty with 4 ft high waters. Its a tragedy.
