Be Careful Towing!

[5 Dollar Fishing Game]

Saw a guy on highway 401 here in Raleigh North Carolina take a turn to quick and flip over his $85,000 bass boat. No pics because it was hard enough to drive around. Truck was Cops and EMS everywhere. Be careful out there when you're towing your prize!

His truck was okay but the boat was totaled. Electronics smashed and the power pole bent in an "L". Fiberglass all over. Terrible.

Bummer. If he flipped it he was going way too fast. There is no reason to ever drive that fast when you are turning....with or without a trailer. Im sure its insured. The idiot will get a second chance.

Teal, my guess of $85k has to be close. I think it was close to that with what he had and the motor, electronics, trolling stuff, power polls.

It looked like a brand new Ranger. Not sure of the model.

No doubt on that price. I once played around on the nitro website and "built my own" z9 and it came to 66K (decked out). Im sure a ranger with all the trimmings would be way past 66K.

I hit over $70K without even trying! An expensive way of learning how to tow properly.

Sudbury, that thing tipped then slid across the highway. It was sad. Shrapnel everywhere.

Yeah, I would have cried just passing by, let alone being the owner.

His face was like, "my baby!"
