Bunch of idiots out there. I was driving to Fork last Saturday. Was in the middle lane and driving about 70. A semi was in the right lane and I was about to pass him and a car was in the left lane driving around 70 ish also. A small prius was behind the car to my left and didn't like the speed. Switched two lanes over to my right, barely missing my boat then sped around me and switched lanes between me and the semi. I still don't believe that he made it between us without scraping paint on both my front bumper and the semi. I laid into the horn and all he did was pull in front of the car in the left lane and wildly started waving his arms for that guy to move over.
It was one of those times where you wish the semi had just sat on his brakes. The guy deserved to wreck.

Glad you weren't hurt. Hope you're taken care of and get a new boat.

Yep that's it. The winch at the front of the boat is completely broken off, but I believe it kept the boat from going into the truck. Also a fire had started in the back end but we were able to extinguish pretty quickly.
Nobody hurt so all is good.

Ok I can see I have been living on borrowed time. My boat is 6 years old, paid for and in immaculate condition. I DONT HAVE INSURANCE! Who knows about this? I hear horror stories about insurance companies that don't pay. Does insurance cover the contents of your boat?

Wow... Glad nobody was hurt. I bet the lady driving the Charger wet her pants when she finally looked up and saw your prop coming through her windshield!

my insurance guy told me even though my boat is insured that if I was involved in a wreck pulling the boat on the road that it wouldnt matter if my boat had insurance my truck insurance would cover it.
