Speaking of boats.....

[Nomad]

Opps, guess he slammed on the brakes to hard , which still leaves questions . At least it all came to a stop behind the stop line , good job !

I’d LOVE to hear the entire story, see video and assist in the recovery!

Fascinating.......!!

[Nomad]

Found a couple more pics on a FD site. I thinking that boat was to tall for the trailer ? Did he drive it on the trailer and forget to clip on the rope and tighten the winch ? I always winch mine on then I have a second line the clips onto the eye, and two more tie down straps as well .

looks like out of state license plate on trailer .

Hoy! guess its a good reason to be sure to tie down the back end!

[tommyc50]

it looks like it came off the trailer .Wow it looks like after super storm sandy I kid you not

[grampy]

Some tie down straps at the stern of the boat to the trailer would have prevented this. Even smaller crafts should always be secured at the stern while being trailered. Prevents the craft from going forward or backwards. 

Bet this guy has quite the insurance mess to deal with!

[moog5050]

Exactly why I never want a moonroof.  Ruins the structural integrity.  If he didn’t have that option the damage would have been limited to a bit of buffing.   Any you just never know what May land on your roof.

That is crazy! Wonder if it's the first time trailering the boat

 

[ny hunter]

Very lucky he did'nt get hurt............what insurance do you use for this auto or boat?

[WNYBuckHunter]

Looks like no safety chain on the bow and no straps on the rear. A lot of people figure the winch rope is all they need. They are wrong and this is why. I’ve seen other pics on Facebook, the boat hit another truck that was in front of the white one. This guy is in for an insurance nightmare. He’s lucky no one got hurt or killed.

Do a google image search of boat comes off trailer , no shortage of pics and a few police boats as well lol .

From what i read on it, he ended up rear ending someone. So dont think it was just from hitting the breaks. But he definitely did not have it tied down.

seems like if he rear ended someone, the boat would be on the bumpee...

[Nomad]

Ya from  FB comments ( my wife’s FB I don’t have one ) he also totaled another pick up in front of him. So I’m GUESSING  that truck stopped for red light ,boat guy was going to run it . With no tie downs or at least proper ones.

I use 4   winch line ,safety line to front of trailer and two transom straps .thats to go three miles on 40 mph road with no stoplights .ok one red light at Bay and Lake roads .

He was sited for following to close, and unsecured load .

The reason for the "Maine" license plate (it appears to be anyway) is to beat the ANNUAL New York State regular registration and Inspection fees.  IIRC Maine trailer registration is a 5 year deal with no inspections and a fraction less for the 5 year love fest.  Oh and Maine doesn't give a hoot that your address is in NYS.

All that said, I know for a fact that NYS LEO frown on it. 

(anybody wants to fact check my statement, please do. I'm not 110% on all the facts)

Interesting ! But I pay like $23 bucks for my trailer registration.

I won’t talk about inspections ....

As frugal as I am, the $6 it costs for my little boat trailer is in the annual Lawdwaz Good Times budget..............
