boat on the ground
 

saw a 20 or 22 foot deep v cc with a t top laying in the middle of johnston street about an hour ago. near brothers and jasons deli.

wonder how that happened?

Spring has sprun.

I think there were 2 boats on the ground in Houston area today.

i guess if a trailer spring breaks or axle? the hull just slides off the side.

looked like the trailer was about 50 feet away, no winch strap/cable connected.

Looks like they did not strap/tie down correctly.....:spineyes:


Never hurt to double check:D

Imange not knowing that happen, you get home ask your partner where the boat go?! :eek::spineyes:

Insurance was about due. Time for a new boat.:grinpimp:

What kind of boat was it? A guy I work with has had axle problems & been calling around to get it fix all week.

Damn where was that?

This was about 25 years ago. I was on my way to brothers to take care of the horses and I noticed something up ahead. As i got closer I thought man theres a big *** boat in the ditch. There was a truck with a trailer tongue hanging off the back also.
The boat was brand new and was just returning from its maiden voyage. It was about 28ft with twins, I think a Grady.

The trailer was old and rusty, so rusty it broke at the tongue.

The guy told me 4 of them had bought it together but could not afgford the 1500.00-2000.00dollars for a new trailer.


I told him looks to me like you should of spent the 2 grand!!!!

looked like a mako or old seacraft

You'd think.

:shaking:

Just double checked......my boat is still chained to the house......whew!!!

several years ago I was headed down Hwy 90 from Lafayette to go to Wax Lake for teal season. About 4 AM we doing 70 half asleep not much traffic and we come upon a big fiberglass V-bottom chillin in the inside lane with no trailer.

The guys that lost it were about 200 yards down with their flasher on. Don't think they made the morning hunt...

**** happens
 

Running down hwy 23 to the duck camp in venice their was a F250 on side the road w/ a 16ft air boat in the back of his truck w/ the rake all the way on top the roof. Some cattle got out of a fence that night and he struck one at about 60mph luckily he and his friend were fine, the truck destroyed, the cow "WELL YOU COULD IMAGINE" , and oh yeah Mark Robicheaux builds one hell of a boat too it didn't have ascrstch on it.

I 55 North to the deer camp someone forgot to strap the bow of their 1436 Monark at 70MPH. I got an eye wittness view of that one doing summer saults.

And last but not least saw a young kid pull his godevil rig on it's side out of Puglias sporting goods parking lot on to Veterans BLVD. when it curb checked. HE drug it a 1/4 mile before realizing he was dragging the rig and not pulling it

Boat on da ground...boat on da ground...lookin' like a fool wit ya boat on da ground.

I had the springs break on a 14ft flat going on I-10. The only good thing was it was the right side so the boat slid off to shoulder and not into another car. I just heard this load boom and then saw sparks in the rear view mirror.
