lifting boat off the trailer

I bet that costed alot of

[mtnsmith]

Assuming this is the mastercraft airlift story, $10k if I remember right. I followed the story on mc teamtalk while it was happening. Mostly cause I always wondered what would happen if I really spaced it and let the boat get bottomed out during low tide and had to wait for two full tide cycles to get the boat out. I always wondered if the boat would be driveable or if it would have to be towed after sitting in the sand for 12-24 hours, I guess it would be driveable. I still don't know how he got that far on the mud bank without noticing. I realize the water went really low really fast, but I still don't get it.

I guess I forgot how to spell helicopter..............oh well

[bobbysky]

That is absolutely crazy, that is the lake my cabin is on. Wow I know that sand bar, and it's super low. I would never launch my boat anywhere near that place.

[Kito]

Do you know the guy that did that?

[bobbysky]

No clue. But I've been on that lake all my life, and have learned where not to go. Man that sucks for that guy though.

Here is my pic. Yeah, yeah, not nearly as impressive as the chopper. And for the record, that is not mine on the highway. Looks strikingly similar though.

The boat on the Highway. That is why you use straps on the back of the boat to the trailer and I use a secondary on the front nose eye hook so if the nose strap gets old and week and decides to break I am covered with a back up. My friend think it is a waste so i am sending them this picture of why I do what I do.

YEP except for long trips to UTAH for repairs to the boat when it was brand new.

Well, the lesson was learned, it does get strapped down now, that happened a quite a few years ago

I didn't want to bring back any bad memories for you.
