A little story: I picked the boat up about a month ago in a snowstorm. It was 105 miles away in Maryland and the gentleman was leaving the next morning to head south for the winter so it was a now or never deal. I left at 4am got there around 6 and loaded up. All was fine until about 50 Miles to go I hit a white out. I slowed down threw it in 4 wheel drive but still managed to hit a slick spot on an on ramp to i95. The truck did a few 360*’s flipped the boat and everything ended up in the ditch. The boat was strapped down so it stayed on the trailer but took some major damage. The boat was already stripped previously of everything, but I had the motor laying in the boat prior to the accident so it has some damage also. 2 state troopers were nice enough to help me flip it back over and I strapped and tied down as best I could and went on my way SLOWLY. I was ok, truck was banged up, trailer was banged up and boat also. I’ll post pictures of the damage once I figure out the picture posting.
