Horror in Zombieland!

Was just watching this movie on a flight and couldn't help but notice the post-apocalyptic BFN tragedy that's unfolded in this scene early on...

EDIT: I stand corrected, clearly a 2001.

Looks like Hollywood was hauling another boat

Man, those are a couple of nasty wrecks.   I too use the chain and heavy duty straps at the rear, unfortunately after my accident that nearly brought our Nautique in our back window.
If the straps and chain were in place I woud have had zero damage.
I had two rear straps, I think they were rated 900 lbs each, both snapped.
No front chain to anchor to the trailer so the boat came forward, up and over my front guide poles which were very good at ripping into my fiberglass bow. The boat stopped about 12" from the rear window of our car, at least it did not come inside.
It was ugly, not as bad as the photos above but I was not going that fast, wet bunks work like grease and the boat can slide really easy.
The guide poles were straight before this and this boat did not have a scratch in it before this.   The guide poles should be above the boat and originally were only about 15" apart, in this photo the poles are about 3 foot apart, the boat was back on the trailer at this point, we had to go down a boat launch and float it to get back on the trailer.
Only $5600 in damage 5 years ago. 10 MPH crash, can you imagine a 60 MPH crash?

Cant ever be too careful, so I always double check everything to make sure is it safe and correct.

Woah stop sharing my secret safe-trailering strategy bro.

Woah stop sharing my secret safe-trailering strategy bro. What I see is TOTALLY UNSAFE!!!   Look closely and you will find that there is no cotter pin on the clevis, it could unscrew allowing the chains to drop off! Absolute back yard hack job .    Home Depot clevis also, not even up to Harbor Freight standards

Probably didn't even grease his muffler bearings. Just being careless.

Where the boat is, not what boat it is is what the point was, so I am not particularly concerned but I thought I would help out here. Tim likes to leave cryptic/non-helpful responses without explanation sometimes, so I will help.

Even if the degree of v-ness of the hull is not real clear, it is one exhaust and has relief pockets, so I am inclined to agree with Tim that its a 2001 vs BFN.

Duane,
You don't care for Curt products? The Curt pin at the HD is rated at 21,000 lbs. If you what to pull more than that, I highly recommend you make one yourself. Maybe some 4140 would work better?

Ah, good point thanks for actually explaining your reasoning!

CCF: "What kind of knot is that, anyway? Is that rope 1/2" or 5/8"?"

I love this discussion.

Also, I think I have to go with the 2001 camp. Specifically, an '89. Graphics near the stern, single exhaust, straight windshield.
