Running with 4 other boats at 50 mph and motor hit the rev limiter. Lost foward gear, only 30 hours on rebuilt upper drive!! Had to be towed about 5 miles by Mr. and Mrs Wigginout, and of course they had their digital camera.

While towing home after a dayfull of boating yesterday, just as I got to my house, I heard a noise echoing from the houses I passed, and I looked back to see smoke pouring from my trailer. I lost the center tire, it must have been underinflated. The stupid thing is I had the boat with me, and put air in my truck tire that has a slow leak, and I didn't check the trailer tire pressure, I looked at them, had the tire pressure guage in my hand, and they all looked fine, so I just hopped in and left. Had I checked them, I would probably not need a new tire now. I took it off and there were no nails or cuts in it, it just looks like it melted. Classic case of underinflation.... What's the old saying, an ounce of prevention.....
