This would mean every vehicle used to launch a boat would be considered a boat in it's own right. As well as the trailer.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t tend to store my truck or trailer in the lake?

Neither did this guy, at least not intentionally.

It seems like a vehicle being driven in a body of water is considered a vessel, and that's just absurd.

It's really not absurd. If you're going to attempt to use your truck as a boat, you're going to hit by both sides of consequences.

But he did intentionally drive it out there with the intent to use it as a boat.

No, he intended to use it as a vehicle. Off road vehicles drive through water all the time.

No it says stored. And thus was "stored" not by choice but it was.
