On the way out Friday night, I saw a small light blue jetboat up in the dirt minus trailer. It must have been 30 feet or more off of the road. And then on the way home, just over the 2nd grade out of needles there was a Bayliner upside down in the center median. Anyone know what happened? Besides the obvious;)

Kachina26, I past that boat on friday afternoon. It was towed with a newer lifted white Chevy truck....the trailer was in the dirt burm (detached) 150' before the boat and it was facing the opposite direction. Drive (male) and passager (female) were aok.
PS. Your ride looks better in person, great meeting you and your boys.......

You can ask J540 about the jet boat, as it was his daughters boyfriends boat, he has some great pics of the drama. Surprisingly there was very little damage to the boat but not the case for the trailer. Just a reminder to check the nut on you ball!!! KELLY

Havasu lover, good to meet you and your crew. Your boat looks much better in pictures J/K:D You have an awesome boat. Kinda figured if I threw this up here someone would know the story behind the jet boat. Glad I don't tow back and forth anymore.

We passed the jet boat in the rocks next to the 40. It looked like everyone was ok and there was a guy sitting in the boat with a beer in his hand posing for a picture. Funny as hell, I wished I had a camera.

Hey John,
Glad to hear everyone is ok. I drove by sat morning and saw your ride parked in J32 but no one was up and around. Saw you in the channel later that morning. Yeld for you but there was noway you were going to hear me over that SICK horse you have for a engine, beside you had a little guy driving it and you were pretty tenitive. Saw your ride in Topock but by the time we got seated I herd your ride fire up and you were headed back. Maybe next time :)

D*mn....:( That's one nice looking boat....glad the boat is alright and everyone involved. Man, sh*t like that you just have to say, "well, it can't get much worst" you have only yourself to blame. Been in some situation myself but nothing like seeing my boat on rocks in the middle of the desert. ;)

Wow, That is a crazy story. Glad to see everyone is ok and the boat is fine. The boat looks so shiny and new in that photo that you would never believe it flew off the trailer. Damn Lucky!
