Rod Caster Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Should have known to take the mast down while transporting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Even when I read the thread I thought it must be a guy towing a sailboat !!!! It happens quite a bit actually they are famous for hitting bridges as well !!! Ya and I bet he gets a nice bill for that as a pole is about $3,000 not to mention the wires the road closed for a day or so !!!!!! It's not gonna be one of his better days that's for sure !!!

kickingfrog Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I wonder if he forgot to factor that his mast was riding on top of 15 odd feet of boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Not the brand of vehicle so much as the class. Yeah, my original remark wasn't about it being a Ford so much as being the wrong tow vehicle for that boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatnFly Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah, my original remark wasn't about it being a Ford so much as being the wrong tow vehicle for that boat. not really, the expedition is built on an f-150 frame, and was the replacement for the ford bronco. just because its called an suv, doesn't make it an suv, its basically a 1/2 ton pick up without a bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloatnFly Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I wouldn't be towing that with a F150 either. why not? its really not that large of a boat, just sits really tall, especially if you forget to remove the mast lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldphart Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 ~~~~ Years ago waiting at the Ramp at the Glades, some twit was pharting around with his sailboat, trying to get it just right on the trailer, finally he has got it and away he goes. Then eveyone one started for him to stop, he forgot his mast was still up, and had just snagged the power lines crossing the road. Luckly he stopped in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
