I feel bad for the owner.
Looks like the bunks were set up to have the bow high. The tounge with that truck also put the trailer on a slight upward angle. Then factor in new carpet on trailer and the underneith of the boat being near perfect. Then tuns of weight on the transom (4 engines/drives), all it took was a little acceleration with the truck and one inch of movement started the slide.

That is too bad and hopefully we can all learn. I just replaced my three year old straps because they were showing signs of wear and getting a little weathered. They are too cheap to take chances with. I have five straps on plus the winch cable and lets face it in a bad situation anything can happen.
Be safe out there

Why would they cover that up? It's not Nor-Tech's fault that it fell off the trailer and with as many people (boaters and non-boaters) that are going to see it in the news it might be some good free advertising. I think most people will look at it and see one bad ass boat. Similiar to when someone wraps a Ferrari around a light pole and they show it on the news, it doesn't make people want a Ferrari any less. Like the old saying...Any publicity is good publicity.
