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.

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.

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.
