Damn that made the news ?? Up here (North Jersey) if there wasn't billions in damage and multiple vehicular homicides you would never hear about an accident on the news, unless it is the traffic channel, DOH !!!

Thank god noone was hurt.

Man I hate to see something like that happen to anyone.

Another reason to not go cheap on the trailer!

Bummer. Somebody should call nortech and tell them to make a bigger 50ft boat......b/c that one there only looks to be about 28ft.

Maybe the news crew got it mixed up....it took a 28 foot, 20000lbs crane to lift the boat.

Aluminum trailers are OK- as long as they have a steel tongue.

The no-straps thing never ceases to amaze me.

I always thought the third drive was to slow the boat down incase it came off of the trailer

Seemed like it worked

It stopped it from going off the road
