Saw this in my rear view mirror.

 

Hope he doesn't have to make any evasive/sudden moves like avoiding someone trying to take a picture with their cell phone during the heavy traffic clipping along at 65+mph.

 

How is that an OK thing. That's 3000+lbs of inboard well above what I would consider safe. New meaning to the term "center of mass".

Just kidding ski brain, that pic reminds me of ones we get in our local paper every year where launching off the roof of your vehicle would work! On the main lake the ramp gets real slick with green slime and invariably some unlucky boater pulls their boat off the trailer and their tow vehicle follows. Needless to say, but you don't want to leave your kids in the vehicle while launching!

Several years ago I had to send my TS6M back to the Supra factory in Maryville,TN. I had a transport driver pick up my boat that had a set up like this one. He hooked my trailer up to the back of the truck and took off down the road at 80+ miles an hour. He had a wakeboard boat sitting on a tandem trailer on top of his truck. He said he was not too worried if he flipped it, it was only a wakeboard boat!

BTW, I went to maryville to check on my boat, the trailer had 2 new tires on it. I asked and was told both my tires blew out on the trip back to the factory.
