The good luck turned bad. I had 2 of my guys working on re-attaching the tongue so we could get the boat back to the shop. The were putting a 2.5" square steel tube into the 3.5" broken AL square. My main guy Carlos that handles all the boat stuff for me was working on the tube and the other guy which has only been working for us for 1 day was taking apart the old broken tongue. Not sure exactly what happened but the tounge shifted and the new guy lost 2 of his finger tips.
He's a good ole county boy and wanted to wrap his shirt around his hand and keep working. I had them drag him to the ER. When I got there his fingernails were in the street. I can't believe this happened to this poor guy on hos first day/
I called him tonight to see how he was doing. He appologized for not finishing the job and said if i give him one more chance he will never let something like this happen again. OBVIOUSLY he is not from south Florida. Normally they go to th lawyer first, then the ER!

G, glad to hear it didn't happen on the highway.. I really really hope I never hear about one of your "adventures" on the 5PM news.. 
I'll be real curious to see how Myco explains and handles this.. I've seen the trailer, it is always sharp and obviously well maintained. IMO there is NO excuse for this on an off the lot bolt together trailer, let alone a what, 30k custom built trailer??

Here you go. It was a clean break right along the weld. You can see it was a fresh break, there is no discoloration on the crack as if it was cracked and the aluminun exposed to the elements.
