Ouch! That's the definition of a crappy day. First thought was no tie-downs but when I enlarged I see at least one.

Speaking of tie downs I need some...where is the best place to get some strong ones with coated hooks and wear pads?

I'd be willing to bet the truck ass-ended the car in front of him, causing a sudden stop and launching the boat onto his truck. Doesn't look like the truck shouldn't have been able to handle the weight of a 22-26' deck boat with a single. How much do those things weigh?

question- Mr. boat dealer, how much does this boat weigh?
answer- Well Mr buyer, more than your little truck can handle.
His reply " It's OK I've got a heavy half ton with air assist shocks.
OK then then sign right here and take possision of your new boat!!!

Dual axle trailer brakes on that trailer behind that half ton pickup to would probably stopped him enough to just kiss bumpers, LOL!!!
That boat most likely weighs a lot more than it looks like it might.

See ya,
Kelly

I dunno . . . . looks like he could just pop the trailer and carry on. . . . . . back 'er in till the front bumper is under water and i'm sure that'll float right off
