Could have been worse, it could have happened to "Star 2" on the way to her new home.

Sorry to hear of the mishap, just hope nobody was hurt.

That blows, that's some surgery to put that bumper back together. Does the trailer have a stainless hind end or is it aluminum?

That was my biggest fear towing her home. I needed to get it done before slick roads would be a factor and only traveled during daylight hours.
I bought the trailer because of the drive guard. Was the same model as the Myco under the Edition boat, but was setup for a stepped hull Profile. We cut every bunk off and from templates made from the White trailer, we reset the bunks and lowered the winch stand to make a perfect match.
It's been all about reducing trailering risk to a minimum.

Everything was 304 stainless, one of a kind custom fab by 12 Gauge Customs in Ontario.
Been a pita bringing everything together for the insurance. 12 GA for the rear panels, Big Rigs Chrome for the fenders and Great Dane for the trailer repairs.
Dude pushed me 30' grossing 80k with my foot on the brake.
Turned the buck plate under, crumpled the ends of the spread rails and tweaked all 22 crossmembers over the spread.

Ugh, that isn't going to buff out. Does your insurance company (and / or you) think it can be fixed properly? Glad nobody was seriously hurt though.

Looks like weather was not a factor? Just a brief encounter with a SHAW? (shiest head at wheel)

Surprisingly it pulls straight.
It can be fixed. Just taking forever.
His insurance tried telling me they don't cover chrome shop trinkets, in reference to all the custom work.
My insurance said BS. They'll fix it and then go after his insurance.
Can't say enough good about Sentry Insurance. Amazing people to work with

Apparently it's hard to see 14 LED brake lights when you're playing with your phone.

Last I heard, wouldn't that be about a $2,500.00 phone call?
