Here's one I saw...
Was at Dreher Island at Lake Murray SC several years back when an 18' brand-spankin' new pontoon came hustlin' in...wifey hopped off, hubby backed away from dock...wife does EXCELLENT job of pulling trailer around and backing it down the ramp (obviously not her 1st rodeo)...hubby drives up onto trailer all the way to the stop-board and TELLS her to go ahead (he hasn't hooked anything up yet)...smoothly up she goes and just as smoothly off slides the pontoon...skeg and back of toons contact the concrete about 10' away from water...she realizes something wrong and stops the truck...good move, but now back end of trailer is still under toons and boat is on greater than 45* angle (hubby rollin' around in back)...busted the skeg off, busted the transducer and bent the bracket, so not TOO bad damage...me, hubby and several others managed to counter-weight the bow back down enough to allow wifey to back down to the water...I guess he learned it
