Slow down and make sure you strap your boat down. LOL

yikes. expensive mistake
July 25, 2019 at 3:26 pm #1869603The good news is the trailer looks OK! (new years resolution to stay positive has changed my life
)July 25, 2019 at 3:33 pm #1869604That’ll buff out
July 25, 2019 at 3:48 pm #1869611It’s like a stupid criminal story, good chance it came from Florida.
Stupid vehicle story, most likely from a Ram
July 25, 2019 at 3:57 pm #1869612I’ll vouch for that. This happened to my boat going 20mph on icy roads when I t-boned someone who slid through an intersection, with the straps on! Remember the safety straps!!

July 25, 2019 at 4:26 pm #1869620Wouldn’t have happened if they didn’t drop the DODGE name…
July 25, 2019 at 5:13 pm #1869627If it was a Ford or Chevy that would have never happened…..
Because both would have slid through the intersection
The exhaust brake in tow/haul is the real deal
July 25, 2019 at 6:27 pm #1869636I am amazed at how many people I see driving down the road without their rear straps strapped. Accident waiting to happen.

That’s cuz a ford would’ve made the light.
July 25, 2019 at 6:57 pm #1869642And crashed at the next one

I rarely see it??
Regardless, the rear straps offer little protection for what happened in the pics. They help to keep the boat from bouncing. But in an accident or dead stop they’re going to move forward, and possibly break.
July 25, 2019 at 7:19 pm #1869648Straps create downward friction. Angled correctly can assist movement forward or reverse in case of abrupt stops or. Straps used should be rated to the weight of what its holding in place.

They definitely help, but not as much as we’d like to think.
Some guys that tow big boats (23’+) have additional straps or chains with turn-buckles from the bow eye angled back and down to the trailer.
Winch posts rarely have any bracing or gussets, and are essentially destined to fail…

Never really noticed but I’ve forgot once in the last 4 years, partly because it was a new to me boat just this year. I’ve got the self retracting straps on my to do list.
July 25, 2019 at 8:14 pm #1869662Those retracting straps are awesome. Well worth the investment.

Agreed.
I used to wonder what Dodge was thinking having the exhaust pipes going straight out the back on their trucks that also have rear cab windows to suck in the exhaust fumes. Then I thought “For Dodge, brain damage probably equals repeat sales….”

July 26, 2019 at 7:02 am #1869690looking at the pic, I’m betting if a guy floored it, with the “HEMI” the boat would probably go right back on the trailer, and he’s good to go!

I got your back…I just bought a new Ram, too. This is all pure jealousy of the hemi.
Question….did your ram come with an Affliction t shirt? Mine didn’t but now I feel an overwhelming desire to buy one for some reason.
The brain damage joke was pretty funny, though.

You’re just salty because you need 16 spark plugs when the time comes.

Not only did I have to buy a affliction shirt. I upgraded to the bejeweled ass pockets and thick stitching on my Jeans
