Ouch!
 

Really sucks to be this guy. took the corner to head to ramp and it looked like his front post ripped off trailer.

I feel for you bro....

Sucks, I bet next time he'll put some transom straps on his boat to help avoid that issue.

That doesn't even look like a roller trailer, bunks!

hard to tell how far she slid on the pavement

yeah, those must have been some slick bunks. And you can see he didn't slide far. here is a pic from the stop sign where he would have stopped, then made the turn. The boat ramp lot is up ahead of his truck 20 yards on the right.

its not like you can really whip around the corner there. i mean you at least sort of have to come to a stop. and i doubt he has a serious hole shot with that thing in tow. crazy!

At least both engines are up!

hard way to clean the bottom :wall:

No bow strap, no transom straps.

RI? Looks like FL
Too fast
Too sharp corner
Too many Buds
Too bad

Galilee ramp at Great Island bridge. RI. Yesterday around noon.

Bow strap wouldn't have helped. Transom straps probably would have.

I really don't think speed or taking the corner was the issue. I think equipment failure + improperly securing the boat were at fault... but who knows.

It'll buff out

we no need no stinkin safety straps

I bet that guy just about chit himself when that baby came flying off!
Must have been confident not to use safety straps..

good thing no car was directly behind him or kids on bikes. Crazy stuff.

bow strap goes to the trailer frame, not the winch post, so it would have helped.

It does not look like he had the proper trailer. It's hard to tell because the guy is in the way, but the trailer does not look like it has the center part that a catamaran trailer should have. The center part helps guide the boat onto the trailer and keeps it from sliding sideways. Without this, the boat is just essentially sitting on the bunks, kind of like how it is sitting on the pavement. It would not take much for it to slide off.

Trailer definitely looks odd. Like a converted pontoon boat trailer or something. What's that saying? You can't fix stupid.

Nah! he just forgot to use duct tape

Looks like a sweet boat though.

"SeaCat for sale- few nicks/scrapes but mecanically perrfect"

if he waits for the tide to come in he should be good

Its a hard way to learn a lesson. I'll be honest I've gone without my stern straps a few time. Not Anymore thanks for sharing the pic.

did he catch anything?
I mean when he went....
