Big Rig Burger Boat Needs Our Help!!!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mike Henderson, and I’m posting this on behalf of my new friends Joshua Tuck and Justine Schnier the creators of Canada’s Big Rig Burger Boat.

A few days ago, Josh and Justine launched something truly incredible.

Imagine this: a full-sized transport truck, mounted on pontoons, floating on our lakes, serving up smash burgers and kettle chips to hungry boaters, families, and waterfront wanderers. It was bold. It was different. And it captured everyone’s imagination.

In just 48 hours, a single photo of the boat racked up over 5,000 likes and 800 shares online. It was going viral. People were planning road trips just to see it.

And then—disaster struck.

During launch at Turkey Point, the boat suddenly rolled and sank.

The cause? A pontoon had a hole we didn’t know about. It was already full of water, had zero buoyancy, and tipped the entire structure to one side.

In a blink, years of work, money, sweat, and sleepless nights… sank to the bottom of the lake.

But here’s the part that inspires me—and why I’m asking for your help:

Josh and Justine are not giving up.
Not even for a second.

Instead, they said in a post this morning:
“The Wright brothers failed countless times before they flew. This is just our first flight test.”

This boat isn’t just about burgers. It’s about pushing boundaries, bringing people together in joyful, unexpected ways, and proving that crazy ideas are often the ones that change everything.

They are already planning the rebuild. They’re not asking for sympathy. We’re just hoping for a little help to get back them back on the water.

This boat is not covered by insurance and was funded by their savings.

Please donate to help bring this beautiful idea back to the water.

Every little bit helps just as many hands make light work.

Together we can turn this nightmare back into this family’s dream.
