HA!

The dude was so high that he didn't put the latch on the hitch or the latch on the front of the boat. Pulled it out, boat slid on the trailer and away it went. He's SOOO lucky it's a wakeboarding boat and it rested on the prop guard as you see it there.

Had to call about 10 folks to stand on front of the trailer to get it back down to the hitch, then it was still resting on the prop guard of the trailer, so had get the trailer OFF the truck, use another truck with a lowered hitch like 4in off the ground so it raised the back of the trailer up, then got it back in the water, repositioned boat, and everything was cool.

Zero damage to anything. Dude was lucky as heck. If it wasn't for the prop guard on the trailer the boat would have been sitting on the concrete.

Do either of you guys have fiberglass floors & how do your dogs cope while underway?
