Coming off the Croix a coupla years ago (at the Bluffs), I was driving my boat up and onto the trailer. I occasionally will drive it up, power it a bit further and then keep the motor running as I walk up and hook up the strap. So I did...succesfully. The next guy in line was probably watching and now that it's his turn, he decided to do the same thing....in his fiberglass old runabout. Long story short, he didn't back the trailer down nearly enough, and when he goes to power it up onto the trailer, he impails his boat onto the vertical post of the trailer that the winch is on. The thing literally goes right through the fiberglass. Will never forget it...
