A long time customer called and asked if i could meet him at this boat ramp because he had a problem and o bring you're big fishing pole. Ok. 40 mile drive and this is what i find.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a 32ft. glacier bay cat. He drove it on to the trailer and his son drove the truck up the ramp OPS. forgot to hook the winch strap to the boat and it slid 3/4 of the way of the trailer landing on the final drives and props. And of course a lot looki-loos pointing and laughing at him and his crew.

I understand that this is not a very heavy lift, however, I feel that "tator operators had better become a little more disciplined in setting outriggers properly. Not only is it proper, safer, and easier on the truck to have them placed properly...but it is easier than standing your truck back up!
