So I'm coming back from checking on a house this morning and and a guy in a pickup is turning left in front of me pulling a pontoon boat. He had plenty of room but took the turn a tad quick and this was the result. (personally, I don't think he had the hitch locked down onto the ball, but that's just my opinion) Didn't look like any damage, but his day certainly went downhill quick.

Not much we could really do. If we would have tried to push it back it would have just slammed down probably damaging the boat. Those kind of trailers suck. He called someone to bring a truck with hydraulics and hopefully got it lowered gently.

I offered him twenty five bucks for it, but he didn't see the humor in that.

I didn't really... I'm not that callus. Close, but not quite that bad. Now... If I'da KNOWN him, I absolutely would have. (I'm just such a sympathetic SOB it's unbelievable, for some reason, no one believes that though. )

Yep, the only thing those trailers are good for may be an anchor? (melted down of course)
