Well what started out to be a good day turned into a bad day. :( <br /> <br />Was on the way to the lake and as I got off the interstate, noticed I could see a lot more of the inside of the boat than normal. :confused: <br /> <br />My first thought was that the bow stop had broke or moved down and let the nose of the boat down, but nooooooooooo!!! :rolleyes: <br /> <br />The trailer had broke behind the crank down dolly to the point that the wheel on the dolly was on the ground. :mad: <br /> <br />I guess that's the only thing that saved it from breaking plum into.<br />Man what a site that would have been, fiberglass bass boat pieces flying all over I-64. :eek: EWWWWWWW!<br /><br />Well I got it into a gas station and got a buddy of mine to come out and we drilled a hole down through it after raising it back up to where it was suppose to be and put a case hardened bolt in it so I could limp it to a place with a welder to get it fixed back up.<br /><br />The good part was it just cost me $35 to get it fixed :cool: and it could have been a lot worse if the nose of that trailer had got to the blacktop at 65MPH. :eek:

Re: Bad Day

Good to hear ya' came thru unscathed. $35 is a cheap bad day when talking about "losing trailers or boats" from the tow vehicle.<br /><br />Keep on truckin' buddy! :D :D

Somebody was watching over SBN. And it wasn't aliens because if it was they would have use their tractor beam to keep it from breaking in the first place. :D

You are one lucky SOB spinner. Good thing you were paying attention to what was going on back there.

SBN, I am glad you and everyone else is ok and it was a cheap fix. I bet that adrenaline was flowing when you saw it.
