This'll only hurt a little bit...

[Zaairman]

Had a bit of an accident on the way to the lake this weekend. My Super Duty decided that it didn't like the way my friends outdrive looked and wanted to rearrange it. I hit him, then jack knifed. Messed his boat up pretty good, and my trailer is pretty crooked, but we still made it to the lake... :D

If I had just rammed your boat, would you be smiling as I dragged it back into its (almost) proper position on the trailer? LOL

Whats up with the outrigger on the side of your boat?

It's an antenna that the previous owner added for a marine CB radio thingy.

So you are telling me you rear-ended your buddy on the way to the lake.

Yep. A guy in front of him was pulling a utility trailer that didn't have working lights. The guy braked hard to make a turn. My buddy his his brakes hard (not quite sure how he missed the other guy), but the lights on his trailer weren't working very well either... one was out and the other was iffy. I hit my brakes hard too, but it was too late.

[jdf]

that's the way i read it the day was not a loss

[Daytona100]

Sounds like alot or 'Rear ending" was involved but you both had a great weekend anyways!!!!!!! :D

[Zaairman]

The day wasn't a total loss, we didn't want to let a little accident ruin our boating plans. And I always take pictures... :D

[hotsand65]

Sorry about what happened, but I love where you live, looks quite and peaceful!!!!

[JetBoatRich]

Must be a agood friend:rolleyes:
At least no one was hurt and you still made the best of the bad situation:D

[Baja Big Dog]

Looks like the boat will make some nasty ass left turns!!!:D

[brianthomas]

Is that county road H by Center?

You might have mentioned that as well.
I feel better about the accident, for a second there I was wondering about you.....

[Zaairman]

Is that county road H by Center?
No... It was Highway 64 (I think) in Dallas County on our way to Pomme De Terre Lake.
And Baja, funny you say that, cause it really does turn left better... :idea:

[dumbshit2008]

That has to be one of the biggest dolt moves I have ever seen whilst towing a boat. *ucking Idiot :mad:

How was I being a dolt? Was I speeding? Nope. Doing 40 in a 55. Following too closely? Nope. I was a good 4 truck lengths back before the incident. Was it my fault that neither of the trailers in front of me didn't have working brake lights? No. Could I have stopped the retard with the utility trailer from slamming on his brakes? No. Will a 4x4 3/4 ton diesel truck with 33" tires towing a 3,000lb load and a jet ski in the bed stop on a dime? Nope. Get the hell outta here ass clown.

I'm glad everyone is safe.......
didn't lose a friendship over the accident (everything can be fixed)
Plus you still got to enjoy some smooth water (Glass):D

Dude, chill out dolt, I was just playing with you. I wanted to get a rise out of you and it worked like a champ :D.

[MudPumper]

Except for all the sounds of screaching tires and trucks and boats getting crashed. Yeah it's real peaceful. LOL

Not trying to blame anybody but if you could not stop in time then yes you were driving to fast for conditions and yes you were following too closely. At least you guys have a great attitude and salvaged the day.:D

[Zaairman]

Little update... My metal guy doesn't think we can bend the trailer back, so tomorrow afternoon we're cutting off the front end of the trailer and rebuilding it all... :eek:

[HavaSkank]

You say that like it's a BAD thing? They were boating in West Hollywood.

[Washed Ashore]

[Zaairman]

Haha... Actually there wasn't a single ounce of alcohol in either vehicle... :idea:

[STV_Keith]

HOLY CRAP, that's a rare one!

[Zaairman]

Yessireee it is. 1973 Chrysler 130 HP. Runs like a champ. Power trim needs new seals, but other than that it runs great, even in 35* weather it still starts right up.
