@Horton That happened to me, pulled an extra boat out of the water, hitch wasn't clamped, boat heads down the hill with me holding the tongue, heels digging in. rear-ended a college friend's car I was borrowing for the summer. Tough explaining to her and the insurance co.

(Boat uninjured)

@Ski2000, I can't find the post for that 40K Nautique today (probably sold - previous link in this thread says not found), but I believe I saw the Zero Off display in the instrument panel when looking through the photos. So, I think it was a ZO boat.

 

This boat, however, is a mystery to me. It's been for sale for 6 years on SIA:

I think it's owned by @34mph. Not sure, though.

 

 

The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

It’s what happens when you don’t use a safety chain in addition to the front winch strap. The front winch or strap either failed or the operator failed to secure the ratcheting device. Had a chain been in place it would still be on the trailer.
