Blew 4th towing the boat

send the slams HERE

It goes into 4th no problem but, dosen't want to come out, (clutch floored, pumped, floored, banging the stick) unless I turn the car off then, it comes right out.
All the other gears work fine,.....I just rev 3rd & by-pass 4 into 5th.

I've been towing about 2k of boat & trailer in 4th always, 58-64mph, 2800-3200, if I hesitate about the ramp, I flag down the valet tractor & tip a 5 spot, (a good burn out is good,.....on the boat ramp),......

I had ZERO problems with anything, no hints, sounds, twisting, cracks, etc,.......(I always joked the clutch would go),......but, had no problems, hints it was not liking it, I was easy, had beer, loud tunes, t-tops off, I'd get there in time,.....

The concensus is that it was the boat though, I drove 2 weeks without towing before out of nowhere I couldn't get out of 4th,....(I pulled over & turned the car off ready for the walk home & out of habit, put it in noodle to set the brake & realized,.......it's out of gear now,..... :hail: )

Any ideas on how bad I sit?,.......
(a beater truck I would depened to take the "little happy family" in, $2k+, would've been no problem,......just no "first" boat for the past 2 years & the memories that came with it).
