The color of the boat matches the pool hall sign, they should just leave it there as yard art!

Kinda looks like he rounded that corner forgetting he had a trailer and knocked the boat off and the boat slid straight. That was a nice boat. 

How freaking fast was he going to cause that kind of damage???

I think that will buff out...

It's just on the bottom anyhow!  Nobody will notice once you drop her in the water!

Yeah not a good day for that guy, not really sure what happened though. People were blowing up about it on the Chain group all upset that someone posted pics

Hard to see but I’m sure there’s tons of transom and drive damage.

Crazy!

Ouch ... at least the boat color matches the sign above.  I would definitely word the sign below to say "Cars and Boats alike are welcome!"

Sweet to be able to get into some shallow spots with a drive like that.

I bet that boat wasn’t even tied to the trailer
front strap looks to be tight but connected to the tension beam lol
 Co part will be selling it shortly lol

well this morning I was leaving to tow my boat down to the marina ,go to work ,then later drop it in .I got a few blocks away from the house and saw the trailer wheel was way crooked the nut backed off the spindled no sign of the cotter pin that holds it on  .I was able to limp it home and will have to take a look at it tonight .But it sure scared the **** out of me

I see a few things here:

a) He cut the corner, too fast or otherwise.
b) By doing so looks like right wheels got trapped by the pole support wire after bouncing the curb.
c) By the look of the dock/fender ropes, that is all that was holding it down
d) Seeing as the bow eye is intact it looks like even the winch cable not attached.

He could've been driving straight an someone cut him off to go down the street. He swerved and ended up with the trailer on the curb. The trailer getting hung up on the support wire, sling shot the truck to the right and the boat kept going straight. Just a theory, LoL!

The more I keep looking at the pics, I think my theory might be pretty close to what happened.

@icoultha , I think were on to something. We need to find local cameras to see real life video!

Oh my god the hillbilly who’s neighbor had his boat towed video is the best. Seriously laughing my **** off. 

That was the best by far, skeg dragging as well.

NRath

Some of those are just too funny!  I can see some hours wasted in my near future!!

The 2019 boat ramp champion- holy heII!!  Not even trying!  Cracked me up.

I'll have to look for the hillbilly towing one

Ian

Now that's just weird.... I was talking about towing the pontoon down the street - on the pontoons. With the skeg leaving it's trail also.
