Old International 3/4 ton truck. We had the boat resting on the cab. It was a very heavy boat so we assumed it wasn't going anywhere. Wrong. As we were cruising down a 2 lane highway at 50 mph the front of the boat rose up in the air and off the back it went. It kind of rolled halfway onto the shoulder. Fortunately no one hit it and the boat was none the worse for the wear. No harm no foul. We put it back on the truck, tied the front of the boat to the front bumper this time and off we went. We were 16. Just another day.
