There are 2 semis involved and a pickup truck. Both the pickup and boat traveling in the left lane. The pickup hit the rear of the boat trailer after hydroplaning, breaking the tongue off the trailer that was pulled by the semi and it sliding down the side of the second semi in the right lane getting the "road rash" and shifting the boat to the left on the trailer. What a bad end to just getting the boat to the water. Think there should be a redesign of the trailer if there are seperate pieces and not continuos rails on this type of trailer.

that must be a delivery trailer, which i assume is trailer that can be set for a wide range of lengths and sizes
does seem odd it broke right off, must have been a heck of a hit to shear it

My God, these MTI cats are so dangerous they get into trouble no matter whether they have inboards or outboards, and no matter whether they are on the water or on a trailer.

If anyone ever wonders why boat transport services are so expensive. What a nightmare to deal with the aftermath.
Lucky and glad nobody was hurt.

what was the big cat? 1350s?

Its really hard from that Video to see what happened first, but I bet both of those SEMI's have cameras that captured it.
