WTF Scott, someone could have been killed for sure, that just should NOT happen. Glad no one got hurt. Wow, what a disaster that could have been. Did the boat stop dead in its tracks? Was anyone else on the road? Must have been scary as hell. Again, glad you're OK.

I'd unload that sled if I were you, I didn't have half the trouble with my old rig that you've had and I dumped it.... Arse for every seat ya know.

Good luck Scott.

I'm stuck at work and have been reading every fishing forum in the northeast, so I'll quote Salty from ffsw -

"the only thing that saved it was the brand new spare tire/bearing carrier I installed yesterday. When I came down the ramp the spare tire was screaming on the ground so the final failure was luckily not on the highway but on the ramp at 30-35 mph.

I would VERY highly recommend that people check this point in their trailers. "
