This guy actually got away with launching his boat on US41. It scuffed up the keel of the boat a bit but a little Marine Tex fixed that. The motor was trimmed up and missed hitting the road.
The Lee County Deputies were great about it. They helped us reload the boat and get out of there before the state cops could get there and write a ticket. Fortunately it was near my house so we had a welder to fix the trailer and jacks to get the boat up so we could fix it (and readjust the tongue load so the thing would trail right)
We were back on the road to the Keys in a couple hours and he dunked the boat the next morning. (had to let that epoxy set up overnight)
