Supposedly no one was hurt injured or any cars struck , the boat simply came off trailer and slid down parkway , it could have ended up very very bad ....hope everyone takes this as a precaution to make sure you have extra straps other than winch cable !!

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

I'm pretty sure by law supposed to be strapped down. Winch cable will not do it for towing.

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

Correct

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

Now that's a planing hull

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

I'm extremely embarrassed to admit that was me. I forgot to strap it down. I live blocks away from my ramp and don't usually strap it. But today we went down to Barnegat and were on our way back. That section of the parkway was like whoopty doos with all the construction. I'm just lucky and happy no one was hurt thank god. Just hurt my wallet and some fresh scrapes on the bottom of the boat and my ego.

an honest angler... there's an oxymoron ! :) hope everything works out ok for you.

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

Well Capt I hope it didn't hurt your wallet to badly :( but we all live and learn. I'm sure that will never happen to you or any of your friends for ever. Nice to see your a stand up guy and explain the situation to the rest of us so we to can learn. Good luck to you and the boat. There are only 2 kinds of boaters. 1 those that have had their share of misfortunes and mistakes. 2 those that are still waiting for the same. Glad you and everyone else are safe. No harm no foul period.

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

Damn man , sorry that happened , glad noone was injured or even worse. Live and learn and hey look at it this way u made the news lol

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

No such thing as bad publicity

Glad no one was hurt.

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

Sorry to see that Eric! Hopefully nothing major happened to the hull or motors. Glad you guys are okay.

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
 

Any time I fish as a guest on someone's boat I do a safety check on the rigging before I get in the truck to head home. A safety chain on the bow strap is a must. I seen some guys not do this expecting just the bow strap or cable to hold on a big boat, also some guys don't lock their trailer at the hitch ball to the towing vehicle. Please take all safety measures to keep us safe on the roads.
