Yesterday afternoon a 21' Eliminator lost it's engine cover on the 91, in Corona! It was laying in roughly the #3 lane. The dude was pulled over about 2 miles down, just before the dam. I think a guy in an H-2 flagged him down to pull over. The boat owner didn't look happy about the situation!

Sounds like someone forgot to attach the little strap under the bench seat.

Probably blame the wife or kids...That's what I'd do to save face...
Wow am I gonna get it...

we saw that seat on the 91 and it looked like the one that flew out of a very similar boat as he was cutting me off and paying no attention on the lake sunday afternoon...
i wish i had the chance to run over it!!!!

This wasn't a seat, it was an entire engine cover, though perhaps after being hit a few times it looked like a seat. ;)
It also tore up the bimini when it departed the boat. I think the boat was white with blues and light blues.

We saw several ice chests on the side of the I-40 around the bridges near Needles yesterday on the way home. The truckers on the CB's were eatin it up, it was pretty funny.

I count myself lucky. After 10 yrs of towing my old jet around I never had any incident of my hatch trying to lift...no latches just a few gas shocks to hold it down:rolleyes: :D
New boat has no strap either since I had the Dana Jacks installed---no lift on the cover whatsoever:D :D
