    Sorry for your mis-fortune.....but thank you for giving us all a heads up to remember to take all the right steps. Something similar happened to a friend of mine a couple years ago and since then I never unhook the winch strap untill my trailer tires touch the water.

    That's terrible! I hope the repairs aren't too costly and all goes well!

    I've witnessed this happen before, it occurs a lot more than you think. Lots of folks unhook their boat prematurely and get away with it if the ramp is not very steep, then they go to an unfamiliar ramp which is on a greater angle and it happens.

    Thanks for the reminder and sorry about the boat. I go on a ramp by ramp basis as to unhook or not, but the lake I fish the most allows me to unhook before backing in. I may quit doing that just to get out of the habit.

    I two have fished over 50 years and owned boats over 40. Also, I have done the same thing. Frozen carpet from several days before will dump a Jon or Fiberglass boat in a hurry. I know the pain. Good Post!!!
