Hopefully it's him and not someone else. I've always reminded my kids, "look around, you're surrounded by IDIOTS."

that isn't a big deal. Top of reciever looks ok. just move the boat back so tongue is pulling up instead of pushing down...

Like I always tell the wife, "I don't know how they made it this far in life."

That reminds me of some of the rusted out trailers I see people putting their boats on at the ramp, one speed bump and it's dust!

They make it this far because of all the "safety catches " in life that didn't exsist not that long ago. All the safety warnings and recalls for the stupid people wear on me.

Awesome, I work on the roads and bridges of this country as an Infrastructure Construction Inspector. I'm always looking out for tires bouncing down the road that'll take me out!
