It's not a Searay but.....

Supposedly a 40ftr. I don't see any wide load signs, orange flags, tie downs, and how did it end up in the far left hand lane?

Looks like a Wellcraft 45' Excalibur. Very nice looking boats. Don't know a lot about them.

He needs to let out some more chain. That short scope wont hold if the wind picks up.

I agree, not enough scope!

 

[Dieseljeff]

Ouch,
He will also probably have to have the props straightened back out.
I think they might have gotten dinged up a wee bit!

The scope doesn't matter. He has the wrong anchor for that bottom......

I think the Flux Capacitor is gonna need replacing :smt021

WhAt type of buffer system would work best for this application?

 

[MonacoMike]

So, the hauler did not have the anchor secured, I don't see a stern strap any of the photos, and there is neither a bow stop on the trailer or eye on the boat, further the trailer looks very similar to what I use for the 270, in other words, grossly overloaded.

WOW!!! What an idiot. Probably trying to save a few bucks and DIY without proper training and equipment...

The trailer for my 280 was much more robustly constructed that what I see in use here. Surely that trailer had to be the 'wrong' one for this job.

I guess that's one of the questions is the trailer adequate - it's triple axle, the boat appears to be a Wellcraft Excalibur 38' with a beam of 10'-8" and 13,200lbs. As another poster mentioned there appears to be no tie downs to the trailer and the trailer frame appears to be straight. The article mentioned a two car wreck and jack knife so just maybe the jersey barrier shoved it off he trailer as it as not secured properly and creating more rash than holes?

Really no way of knowing unless there are more accurate details coming or you are CSR's Carnac.
