What an awesome day!!! [flag] Our first 4th of July on the lake, spent all day tubing and swimming. I was nervous at first to be on the water after sun down mainly because this would be our first time out after hours.....
No problems what so ever :thumbsup: boat ramp was very busy after the fireworks show, but nothing to stress over.

So we get my our boat on the trailer pull to the side of the parking lot to do our regular clean up "rinse and dry the boat" as I'm hosing down the jet drives I noticed that my port side trailer guide is somewhat bent!! After Taking a closer look, yep looks like someone hit the guide to the point it bent quite a bit. :banghead: The worst thing is they did not bother to leave a note or anything..... can't believe there is people out there that can damage your property and leave as nothing happened.

Ohh well most important is the family enjoyed the day, and the boat ran great!! Now I just need to go buy a new set of trailer guides.

When you are looking for new trailer guides consider getting some that are all pwc except for the mounting brackets. This is what I have and I've bent mine over 30 to 45 degrees several times without causing any permanent damage.
 
Sorry to hear about that...unfortunately there are too many people out there that just don't respect anyone else's property. Almost enough to put a camera up on the truck/trailer and record on motion....hmmmmmm, might be another project! :)
