The 3 guys moving around the transom couldn't have helped with the balancing act. 3 guys at 180 each is 540 lbs of moving weight. Watching the video I expected the truck was going to topple over with the boom extension so far out with all that weight.

What a bunch of tools.

"Hey Verne, just had the trawler delivered. Let's get gumby's truck and unload it.

Freakin' dolts. I mean seriously, you have to have the mental intellect of Vinny Schtuman and Sargent Mahoney

What kind of sling is that? Both straps are mounted on the same axis.
