Never really had any mishaps my gpaw taught me the dos and don't at a young age. I seen some crazy stuff though. I went fishing out of delcambre one time,put my boat on the trailer and pulled up out the way. While I was securing the boat on the trailer I see a woman backing up so her boyfriend could load the boat on the trailer. She backed the trailer in so far the jack post was barley out the water. I told her that it was too far but she didn't care and it was obvious they had been drinking. The boyfriend in a 14 flat with a 50 horse pulls up and slams the boat into the jack post and tells her to pull up. When she pulled up the port side hits the guide on the side of the trailer causing the starbord side to go under and the boat starts to sink. Now this dude is every bit of 300 pounds just sitting there not doing anything yelling da boat is sinking! I could not help but laugh. The only thing that kept it from sinking is the skeg hit the cement. I tried to help but could not get the back up. Someone else came in their boat and 4 of us picked up on the transom and backed the trailer under. After that the dude says man I need a beer....lmao the boat was full of empty beer cans.
