strapping Sport to trailer

Well, I guess for it's time it was fairly expensive. It also had a steel scuff plate mounted to the keel. My Nautiques have never been beached, but 40 years ago, that's the way we did it. BKH

Wow, 10,000 hrs. I'm impressed. Let's see. . . . BKH

I was thinking the same thing. Further...10,000 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour = 400,000 miles. That's all the way to the moon and over half way back. I'm sure his load was heavy (10K) ....so at 10 mpg that's 40,000 gallons of gas. At a bargain 3 bucks per gallon, that's $120K in today's dollars.

Lets show some respect and toss those straps!

haahah I am dying here....HAHAHAHA :mrgreen:

I found out the "easy" way. I travelled from San Diego to Pensacola with my boat and a bunch of crap on the truck. I hit the I-10 and I-12 merger in Slidell, LA and the left leaf spring snapped. My wife was behind me in her car and said that the trailer and boat bounced 3' in the air from side to side. It was quite a ride in the truck. Fortunately, only the trailer was hurt. The boat, prop, and rudder were protected. I had only put the tie downs on in Houston because my wife kept nagging me about it. If you tow any distance at all, use tie downs.

Another angle.
