Supposedly no one was hurt injured or any cars struck , the boat simply came off trailer and slid down parkway , it could have ended up very very bad ....hope everyone takes this as a precaution to make sure you have extra straps other than winch cable !!

I'm pretty sure by law supposed to be strapped down. Winch cable will not do it for towing.

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
I'm extremely embarrassed to admit that was me. I forgot to strap it down. I live blocks away from my ramp and don't usually strap it. But today we went down to Barnegat and were on our way back. That section of the parkway was like whoopty doos with all the construction. I'm just lucky and happy no one was hurt thank god. Just hurt my wallet and some fresh scrapes on the bottom of the boat and my ego.

Re: hope this wasnt any of you !
Any time I fish as a guest on someone's boat I do a safety check on the rigging before I get in the truck to head home. A safety chain on the bow strap is a must. I seen some guys not do this expecting just the bow strap or cable to hold on a big boat, also some guys don't lock their trailer at the hitch ball to the towing vehicle. Please take all safety measures to keep us safe on the roads.
