I had to laugh when I saw that. I would be so pissed if that was my boat. But still funny.

Greedy bastards, aren't they?

Oh thats got to suck..... Not only having the boat come off the trailer, but roll over and over also.

Man that outdrive is trashed! The Window frame, Convertable top and rocket launchers are smashed to h3LL... I wonder how bad the Hull is?

I wonder if he got a ticket for not having it properly tied down? Can you imagine if that would have come off and landed on a car or motorcycle?

Note to self: Do not follow a vehicle towing a boat too close!

I worked for BoatU.S. for 8yrs. I would say that's more like Sea Tow's style than Tow BoatU.S or even Vessel Assist.

Well, I was pretty sure it wasn't the Coast Guard or DNR, because they just would have boarded the vessel and checked for any violations.

I actually believe procedures differ just that much.

The other day my son asked me can boaters get tickets and I told him yes and he asked how do the police get to the boat, so I told him they have police boats. My youngest saw this first hand when we were out on the Tennyson.

But, then I got to thinking about what the procedures for pulling a boat over might be. If they have to do a search do they tell the driver to turn the motor off so that they can board safely and know that they won't topple over into the water from a jerky engine or nervous captain.

I've never been boarded except when stopped, but I would imagine they have you shut the engine off. I've had friends pulled over while they were trolling with six lines out. That is really a pain!
