Ouch! That's going to leave a mark. Looks like a 43 Nortech with triple #6s or NXTs.

yes ouch!!

I wonder if it was the truck hitch or the trailer itself that broke. The quick shot in the video looked like the trailer may have failed but that could be after the fact if it the truck hitch broke first.

From NBC News: LEE COUNTY: An accident involving a 28-foot boat turned heads Wednesday evening. Oddly, they weren't the heads of fellow boaters, but people driving along US-41.

The 20,000 pound speedboat was stretching across US-41 near Lakeland Drive in North Fort Myers after it fell off the trailer that was carrying it.




'a 28 foot boat', where did they learn to read a measuring tape?

At least they did not call it 'one of those cigar cigarette boats'

I saw it last night on the news. The owner (assuming they were right and he was) didn't look to happy.
