Just fast forward to the last 50 seconds.

Looks like as its being lifted the boat is becoming un level. Are the lifting straps stretching?
Then doesn't look to graceful going back on the trailer.

straps need to be different lengths to lift the boat level.... not uncommon at races to see boats hangin one way or the other... the rest is the crane operator.

My heart skipped a beat when it fell back into place.

Did not look good when going back on with that sudden jerk.

sean that's what happens when you got 4 guys on the ground, that don't seem to have a clue and all wanna give hand signals. how's the crane operator supposed to see down the tunnel and notice the inside splash rail is hanging up.

i will agree that there's alot of boat slings that are setup wrong.

I've seen some crazy things happen at the cranes at races. You can spot a rookie in a hurry with his boat nose diving in the air.

Forgot to pull the transom straps off:)
Hope they put the drain plug in. I see those forgot at my boat launch all the time :):)

That was scary

I believe they would have been using their own straps, not just what happened to be there.
