Boats fixed! But trailer is damaged now!

[Sldrvr]

Okay I will start this on a positive note...well I took my boat in the this morning and they replaced the starter under warranty and it started right up! Woohoo...now for the bad news, on the way home an 83yr old lady rolled through a red light and hit my truck and boat trailer. What luck I have! The good news no one was hurt, the boat itself was not damaged and it appears I will be getting some trailer work done now and a new spare tire with wheel!

Dang....I'm not sure whether to say "congrats"...or "sorry to hear that".....guess I'll say both.....


Glad no one was hurt though!

good deal on the boat bad deal on the trailer glad the elderly lady or you were not hurt now to find out she forgot to make her insurance payment

Make sure you check the trailer & hitch very closely.

I didn't find out my truck had been hit hard in the hitch until I got my boat. I noticed driving, there was a lot more clunking than normal from the hitch.

It turns out the truck had been hit hard enough in the hitch to oval out the pin eye, and they previous owner had even went so far as to weld up the cracks in the side plates.

I put a new hitch on, and voila, no more clunking from the pin moving front to rear as you took off and stopped.

Well the best part about it is the boat didnt get a scratch on it! If all goes well it will be on the water on Gaston this weekend...i'm keeping my fingers crossed!
