When this thing came off the trailer it ripped the winch bracket off, tearing
the weld at the post. The winch went with the boat, as did the "safety" chain.

Exciting stuff, sounds like it happened right up the road from me.
Glad I wasn't zipping down to CC from Tuckers Grade at the time.

You might have been lucky the boat whipped off instead of flipping the
tow vehicle.

This was in Estero, about a mile from my house. The last thing he said was "I
will lead because this thing isn't trailing right and I want to go slow". I was
hanging back trying to slow him down. At about 55 I saw the port side, then the
starbord side, then lots of dust and brake lights.
