But hell the way Nor-Techs slide off of trailers, they either have carpet with microscopic rollers on them, or 3,000hp trucks to tow them:drink:

MAYBE SOMEBODY WD 40's THE BUNKS ?!:eek::party-smiley-004:

I think the last cat that came off the trailer actually had the slick plastic runners on top of the bunks because the boat was so hard to load due to shallow ramps.

I don't get surprised by, or sad about, these incidents anymore.

Why shouldn't you tow with the props on? This is news to me.

10k props? Some rock is thrown up and damages a prop. while towing.

I take mine off to avoid any damage when towing and they're a fraction of what those things cost.

Is there a reason why there is tape on the side of the boat covering up where it says Nor-Tech?

My new trailer has them, and when I picked it up, the salesman warned me, he said a lot of customers dont think about that, now I NEVER unhook from the winch before backing down the ramp, or even move it around the yard unhooked for that matter.

It was a clever attempt at trying to hide the identity from the media.
