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?

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.

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

Helped out a guy yesterday that had his trailer hitch jump off the ball. He forgot to latch the coupler, thank God he had chains that held. Upon impact it broke the tongue jack off so he was on the side of my road with an under sized floor jack and a block of wood trying to get the tongue high enough to go on the back of his big fancy 70,000 dollar truck. The tongue weight was WAY too much, so I'm surprised it jumped off the ball really. I went to my house and got a good jack and we got him going. If the chains had not held it could have been a disaster. So make sure your safety chains are plenty big enough and you have some decent hooks that aren't gonna bend out straight in the event she breaks loose.
