Dashcam shows 98-102 kmh as the boat tug begins overtaking , not like he was stuck behind a slow old fart doing 85kmh either.
Agreed , on both counts. I would like to see some endorsement for caravan / boat towing.Quote:

A bit more tow ball weight and he may have got away with it.

Personally I use one ratchet strap when doing short runs (eg. up 50klm) but anything further I use 2 straps, Seriously it isn't that much effort to tie your boat down properly.
I think that’s a long bow to draw for the video...Quote:
