    so, no strap from the trailer to the bow eye or no turnbuckle was being used?

        If that is the case, and I were the insurance company, he would not see a dime. That is just straight up gross negligence. He could have killed somebody.

          Maybe the strap broke or it slid forward and the hook slipped off or the winch failed. Another reason to use those rear straps boys....

              I put a chain on the front as a backup for the strap but after this may look at buying rear straps! Like Dad said...check, double check, and check again. If our guests ask if they can help with the trailer process, I kindly ask them to set back and relax. I don't want the routine interrupted.

                I keep an extra turn buckle on the front too. This dude must have been using a dragster to tow his tub. Considering he pulled out on green.

                  [QUOTE=210GA;179618] I use to give my boat a little gas while it was being pulled out of the water, so it would push the boat to the front most part of the trailer.

                    A turnbuckle and winch is all you need. Rear tie downs could be helpful on windy/bumpy stuff. My old mc trailer was a winch and a boat buddy auto lock thing. But you can't fix stupid.

                        Does anybody know if this pic is legit? When I look at it, I don't see a windshield?! I guess if you don't use any tie downs, you could skip the windshield and seats, etc.

                          I can't confirm it's legitimacy, but if you look closely you can see the top edge of the windsheid. It's just mostly hidden by the angle.
