Reminder to be safe trailering your boat!

[MGoMike]

These people passed us while we were towing our boat today. They were going 75-80, towing a camper, bikes and boat. Not sure exactly what happened, whether it was excessive trailer sway or they didn’t have the boat strapped down properly.

Bad day for these folks!

Ouch. How could that happen if the boat is securely tied down?

 

[Beachbummer]

Ouch, Someone had a very bad day,

Gives new meaning to "launching the boat". Hope nobody got hurt.

Rotation speed in a Cessna 172 is 60 knots. If you're gonna trailer at these speeds you best know how to tie a knot

Hold my beer well I tie this on!

That's terrible.... however, whats even more complexing to me is what is the guy in the side rear view mirror doing? LOL!!!

Looks like he's holding the boat on, lol.

Awful lot of people who think that transom straps are optional.

Looks like the winch and bow stop are still attached to the boat.... And obviously, no longer attached to the trailer.

Double towing a massive load like that at that speed is crazy! That boat could be whipping back and forth and you wouldn't even know.

Yeah, @MGoMike, what’s up with that??

There were a few guys shuttling debris from the boat back to the truck/camper. I’m guessing it was one of them.
