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.

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