I used to have a 14' Flying Jr which was a blast to sail.
Every time I took it to our local lake, the license plate fell off the trailer. I got new plates and better fasteners but again, lost the plate?? One day as I was pulling into the marina, someone pulled up behind me and handed me my license plate. The told me that every time I went around a curve, the boat was airborne on one side and riding on just one wheel - problem solved - don't be in such a hurry to get on the water.
