I have seen this done on a steep ramp with a roller trailer, but never on a level surface. It seems someone didn't check things before he left the driveway.

"I read on iBoats that with a roller trailer, you can keep the whole rig out of the salt water. That Home Cookin' was right!"

This is what the safety chain is for. With no safety chain and a dodgy winch, this guy would of been in the same situation even if it was a bunk trailer. In fact if it had good bunk system with a proper silicon coating and not just 2 pieces of timber covered in carpet he would of lost the boat quicker. Boats slide off silicon bunks very easily....

You know I was really nervous putting my boat in the water the first time I didn't want to make a fool of myself at a busy ramp. Why didn't I think of taking a practice run first!:facepalm:

Looks like they got confused and tried to do a "Bubba Test" like Triumph boats did. :eek:
