We were behind some donkey going up to Winni two summers ago. He was towing a pontoon boat doing about 80 mph! Swerving all over the place. One of his cupholders from the boat blew out and out on the highway never to be seen again. We always go slow and steady. About our only mishap has been our "custom cover" (homemade from a tarp with snaps put in and sewed and taped where needed to fit) ripped, but we pulled right over when it was safe and fixed it straight away.

The boat was buffed and waxed for last weekend until it pulled up with the rear of the cockpit cover torn away from the clasps. The drive up from Mass. cost an additional $800. for the new cover and it won't be ready for this weekend.
After seeing that boat on the highway it's small potatoes!
