Boat Trailer Tip
On my way down 495 early Sunday morning I came upon one lone vehicle but had not really seen or noticed it until I was right on top of it. Ok so it was 5am or so and I wasn't quite awake but that is kind of the point I am getting to. The vehicle in question was a pickup towing a 23 foot SeaCraft (John it had an I/O in case you are wondering). Now there didn't seem to be any working running lights in the rear or maybe they were so dim I missed them and the boat was large or wide enough to block the taillights of the tow vehicle. In the early morning new moon darkness this was just a dark mass rolling down the highway to vehicles approaching from the rear.
My point is that a little red reflective tape on the rear frame of the trailer would go a long way to help vehicles see you especially if you trailer on the highway and tend to be doing it in the dark hours and could cover you if your lights burnout as they have a tendency to do.
I have some on one of my trailers and do intend on adding it to the other after seeing that.
