Well, I put in at Town Creek yesterday evening. I was trying to unload the boat, when a gentleman afford to help back my trailer in the water. In doing so he backed it off the the end of the ramp. Tried to pull it back up and broke welds, and bent the trailer, oh I had to go swimming in order to pick the trailer up while someone pulled it out. So did not get to fish I just came home with a warped trailer.

No need to get mad just one of those things, he felt really bad, and hung around to help get it out. But the trailer is ruined. But that is what insurance is for.Quote:

How did you get the boat and trailer Home?
I was able to load it, and drag it home slowly. But it was not very safe. You should have seen it going down the road it was side tracking bad to the left.I would not pull it out of the yard, now that it is home.Quote:

Welcome to the board!!! Sorry to hear of the mishap. Usually God has intentions to use something like that for His glory, so look for the silver lining. Love your attitude! Something good will come of it.
Thank you for the welcome. And me to.Quote:

Thank you, and you are 100% correct. Not sure what His intention is yet, but we will see. He will show me in His time.Quote:

Last spring, I backed mine off the ramp at blown out bridge ramp (I think that’s what they call that one on north Sauty) and bent the axle and trashed the wheel. Because I ride motorcycle, I have AAA RV roadside service and towing. It turns out they would have hauled my truck and my boat on separate rollbacks as part of the service. We ended up getting the bead to seat on the wheel and I drove it home, not knowing the axle was bent and wearing out my tire. The moral of the story is I get a little peace of mind knowing AAA will tow me and the boat home if I get into a jam. And, since I drive older vehicles, it’s not if, but when something is going to break down. Hope you get yours back up and going soon.

Dang that's some bad luck. I've offered to back trailers in for folks before and will probably continue, but I guess your story is a reminder that bad things can happen when you try to help others, but that doesn't give us an excuse not to try.
Did he back off the side of the ramp, or is the water so low that he backed off the end of the ramp?
BTW, what city do you live in? If close to Albertville, send me a message. I can help you with the trailer repair, and will be glad to, if that's what the insurance company wants to do.
You'll laugh about it in a couple of years

I try to remember to put my waders in the truck. When I know this is a possibility. I have had to lift a few trailers for myself and others. The end of these ramps should be marked with warning explanations
