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?
