Feel your pain. Did the same thing with a storage trailer a year ago. Totaled F250 and trailer. Good news is that's how I got to join this wonderful group with my new EX.

I would have been tempted to hop in the boat and ride it down the hill...

sucks about the truck. Was the boat ok? I don't see any damage to the hull in the photos. Must have been quite an impact to fold the tongue over like that.

Without seeing more I can't know for sure but the ex doesn't look too bad from those pics.

glad you are ok.

Exactly why I pay the price for 11.8 mpg and tons of steel wrapped around me vs the econo cars out there that get 30-40 mpg and fold like used tinfoil in a crash. I'm gratefull no one was hurt.

That is crazy...what type of boat? Must have been built well. We have boats here that lose gel-coat just running up on their trailers! Glad that it wasn't worse!

yeah but trailers are a lot harder than snow... lucky for the boat.

What tires were you running anyway?

What brand boat is that for 200k? I just don't see a total on the EX either but letting my brother look at these and he's only been doing adjustments for 30 years I'm confused. Glad no one was hurt. 200K boat on a trailer........

Uh...I think something might be off here. Would love to know where I could get a custom trailerable boat made of kevlar with twin diesels.....let alone for 200k.
