Hope I'm never in these shoes
 

YouTube suggested this for me for some reason haha. Hope I'm never that guy. Gets real sad at 1:55. RIP V. Looks like she was a nice boat. Can't tell if it is a 20 or 21. Did the 21 come with a closed transom?

Thats a Jersey boat. We all saw that and reinforced our bow eyes

I definitely need to inspect mine. It looks as if it's been repaired in the past, not too professionally I might add.

Is it just me, or does anyone else use a boat tie down strap when towing?? Mine goes straight across the top of the boat and ratchets down to secure boat to the trailer.

Oh heck yes. I transom strap mine religiously. Seems all of these folks didn't.

Notice that a bunch of those accidents were caused by fishtailing...
Poor trailer setup with too little tongue weight.

Roller trailers too.

Looks to me that he will get his transom repaired by the insurance carrier from his vehicle!!!!! :money:

my boat is on a roller trailer.. should i be nervous? what should i look for as far as safety goes? What should should i look for on the tongue? My v is on a single axle, karavan.. new rollers, springs & hubs .. tires

I think as long as you have proper tongue weight, your bow eye is in good shape and a transom strap you'd be fine. But freak, unforeseen things could happen, just gotta pray they don't happen to you.
