For no apparent reason, I was thinking about how to get a bomb off the bottom of a car.
It occurs to me that a barrel role jump toward a hanging crane block & tackle is not a good bet. Sure, you can pull it off nine out of ten times, but it is that tenth time that bothers me, so here are some alternatives.
The boring options are driving up/down a curb, 4'x4', speed bump, railroad track, concrete block, etc.
More interesting.
Slide sideways over the correct height forks of one of the many boat forklifts in the yard. The only issue with this is that the bomb is still next to the car, and you are now stuck on top of the forks. No good.
Drive down a boat ramp and skip the car across the harbor to a ramp on the other side relying on the hydraulic pressure to scour the bomb fro the bottom of the car. The only problem with this is the affects of the salt water on the aluminum parts of the undercarriage, but that is unacceptable. No Good
Jump over an upside down and running outboard motor outside the marina "shop" and have the propeller slice/slap the bomb off with appropriate sparks, etc. While this would appear to be an obvious option, but the proliferation of Manatee save propeller cages, and jet drives as well as the improved reliability and reduced emissions of the modern 4 stroke outboard vs. the smoking 2 strokes of days gone by greatly reduce the odds of there being a outboard at the "shop". No Good.
Well, I'm out of options, I guess he took the only interesting course of action he could.
