[QUOTE="Fish Chris, post: 24852, member: 124"] I haven't yet. Well, back in the day, with a worn out, rusted out old trailer.... but anyway.... and a broken leaf spring, but kept the boat on the trailer. I always wonder if my boat would stay on the trailer if the bow strap failed. I have a safety chain... but it's not really set up correctly. Then, I always look at the bottom of the verticle support with the roller on top (whatever you call that piece) and the couple of U-bolts at the bottom of this. Sure, they look pretty strong, but then I imagine the leverage against those bolts. I guess it's a pretty strong system, as I don't hear of any failures from those, even as often as that system is used... but.... Any of you ever had any of these things happen ? Ever lose a boat because of it ? Almost ? How much lift does a V-hull aluminum generate traveling at 65 mph on the highway ? Anyone ? Peace, Fish [/QUOTE]
