Baller ozski Posted June 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2016 So I've always wondered what would happen if things went bad on the road, would my 196 go through the Jeep, over or around... I'm not sure if this is typical but I would take it over the "through" option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted June 23, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted June 23, 2016 He's going to have to back that truck pretty far into the water to float that boat off. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted June 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2016 Judging solely by his shorts, this may not be his biggest problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Bill22 Posted June 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2016 Maybe he was going to drop his trailer off for some service??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OTF Posted June 23, 2016 Members Share Posted June 23, 2016 Maybe the boat should look into this as a consumer price break, who needs a trailer anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dbutcher Posted June 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2016 What would have happened if that trailer had had different front loading equipment (like Ram-lin trailers use), and the stern had been securely tied down to the trailer?

Baller_ MISkier Posted June 23, 2016 Baller_ Share Posted June 23, 2016 @dbutcher, I suspect the tongue would have detached from the hitch ball and the trailer tongue would have rammed through the tailgate. I say this because I've seen a minivan with a trailer rammed through its back doors. The boat was still on the trailer. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller teammalibu Posted June 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2016 Its a Bayliner no great loss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted June 23, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 23, 2016 Bay liner owners are the most dangerous on the water, land doesn't look much better. I do wonder what our bow stops would do for us. I also think his truck box may have saved his life. Imagine the tracking fins coming through :# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Drago Posted June 26, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2016 Do bay liners have tracking fins?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ozski Posted June 26, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted June 26, 2016 Tracking would not be part of the Bayliner desgin brief. That would add cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted June 26, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2016 I/O boats do not have tracking fins regardless of if they are a bayliner or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller aupatking Posted June 26, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2016 No they do not. Our boats do though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ntx Posted June 26, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 26, 2016 In 1980 my dealer (pine lake in Michigan) made a special trip to the master craft faculties in tenn to pick up my new boat. About 50 miles from home the boat got launched off the trailer and the nose went thru the rear window of the pickup and hit the driver in the back of the head. He spent several days in the hospital. Factory had to build a new boat for me. Took about three weeks out of the already short Michigan summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted June 27, 2016 Baller Share Posted June 27, 2016 Our ski club in NH had Ski Supreme and MasterCraft in various years. The MasterCraft trailer didn't have a good positive stop like a Nautique trailer, just an inclined rug-covered board. Bad design. 2 of the club members took it out to the pond and brought it back. Next time I went out with another club member, we launched, and the boat went clunka-clunka-clunka. The underside gear was pretty much wrecked, and it was obvious that the prop had chewed into the trailer, when they over-powered the boat onto the trailer. The older scumbag club member claimed no knowledge of what they did. The younger guy later became an accountant, and eventually admitted what they did. Fortunately, another founding club member owned a marina and got the stuff fixed. We stupidly let the both of them back into the club the next year.
