Default Reverse loading trailers???

just saw a truck towing a boat, looked like a four winns type (maybe 24-27ft?) on a trailer backwards... meaning like he reversed up the trailer and the rear of the trailer had the pulley to lock down the front (instead of being in the front of the trailer to hook on). I've never seen that before???? And it was still dripping water like it had just come from a launch ramp, wish I got a pic on my phone.

I have seen them transport boats backwards on semi trucks... but never real trailers.

yeh I've seen that but this was a normal F250 or 350.... I was so confused looking at it lol, especially that it was still dripping water.

no **** first thing I thought was that too, but it actually had the lock down in the rear to the front of the boat.

I def know I wasn't seeing things lol, I was coming back from GA on the turnpike when I saw it.

It sounds like alcohol may have been a factor
