"considerably large boat" blocks highway after falling off trailer
 

'Considerably large boat' blocks traffic … in Florida after falling off trailer (msn.com)

This would...suck.

According to a report seen by The Times, the boat was being towed west on the interstate when "the boat trailer started swaying violently from side to side" as it crossed an overpass. The boat then collided with the guardrail, causing it to disconnect from the trailer and roll several times before coming to a stop in the middle of the road.

Commenters on Facebook argued over the price of the yacht, which appears to be a Scout 380 LXF retailing at $825,222 according to the company's website.

12 ft beam, 17K lbs............Sure hope the driver had extra leaf springs in his eco-boost F150! :D

HAWKX69 towing a buddys boat with his Expedition.

I knew that was coming from someone. Lol

if you look at the pictures no flags, banners, or straps on the boat. Also heard it was a 42 scout with twin 600's

Wow, that had to suck. Here is a youtube video that shows what bad weight distribution can do. Not saying that was the cause, but it could be.

Cant tell you how many of my Fla boating friends tow w/o straps!

Just because they’ve been lucky..........

I know when I was selling trailer boats in Columbus in the early 90’s’, many of our competitors sold rigs w/no straps and trailers w/no brakes even though they were over the states 2k limit and it was against the law!

99% of your posts are “I heard”. What are you, a f%$king cnn reporter? Take your uzi and shut the F%$k up.

It is easy to think: "boat is so heavy, I'm only going local........." But man to they get a hard punch to the gut when the boat thuds onto the pavement!

Nortech has had a bunch of high dollar boats hit the road. The big 50 quad engine cat Gold Rush always sticks in my mind!

We just had a 100K+ Albury thump the ground literally 500 ft down the road from the ramp.

That would suck, maybe, delivery to its new owner from the West Palm boat show?

"Hi, Mr new owner, yeah, about the boat you bought at the boat show...."

No it happened before the boat show and Albury stopped participating in boat shows a few years ago. Not worth the time/expense when their factory is literally 5 miles away and if you are looking at an Albury you already know you want one vs buying a Key West or Sea Hunt

I have a close friend in the transport business who is on facebook pages of only haulers. Have a good day keyboard warrior

That's a great visual on what happens with improper weight distribution.

Go shoot up another boat d!ck face.
