Ya but the boats over the line so you still get a ticket.  

Makes you wonder what was holding it on the trailer 

Cheap tie down ratchet straps rated for a few hundred pounds from Princess Auto. I see it all the time and just shake my head. When I had a slip at the marina I would see guys with cheap straps used as tie downs all the time. I mentioned it to a few guys, some were thankful but most basically told me to mind my own business of which I now do. I've even seen ropes with nice little knots in them. Some boats didn't even have that. Oh that's what those  things are for?

Something not right.

Trailer has bunks, No skid marks from the truck tires, so that tells me no high speed sudden stop. If it was on rollers, ya ok maybe.

Also you cant hurt a Ram like that. Ford ya, I can see it. LOL
