What is it about the boat ramp that makes people suddenly loose all common sense and courtesy?
Always carry spare drain plugs
"witness the real-life challenges and adrenaline-pumping moments" ... Damn right, I was at the edge of my seat until you got the pump in! 😂 Great videos, love boats.
I would say that it was probably a missing plug.... I've seen it a few times. Helped a guy out by giving him my spare plug. Once I put it in for him, his bilge pump did the rest.
Missing plug, ive seen guys ram a small branch into the hole to get them back to dock before and we have those impatient people everywhere. Here in the uk at the marina where im moored (i always help out boat moves) we were craning in two boats into to slipway and we were forced to put them in the order they where on the hard standing (no room to move the crane around the first boat) the first boat went in (a 70ft widebeam narrowboat) and then pulled it to the end of the slipway to make room for the second. In an hour both boats in the water and the owner of the second boat wants to leave, we have no key for the widebeam to drive it out the slipway (owner on his way) he starts getting irrate we end up pulling the widebeam out by hand 3 guys on ropes me on the widebeam keeping it from hitting other boats (there is a 3-4 knot flow on the river) we pull it as far as we dare and let the irrate guy out he has a few feet of clearance to get through so i sat on the front of the widebeam to protect the widebeam and guide him out as he passes i have to push his stern over as he was about to hit the widebeam with my feet (on his rub rails) and he swears at me to keep my feet off his varish to which i reply better my feet than this steel bow! And with him gone we fight the river flow to get the boat back in the slipway and the guy saved probably half an hour by being an ass
My first guess was drain plug.
Thanks sharing what a different tow would like and some the crazy people you come across. By the maybe I missed it but didnt hear the tow cost. Love the idots at the boat ramp, I know that one well...lol. Yes a lapel might would be great!
Excellent video!
Nice job.
I guessed drain plug only because I've done it myself 🤦♂, but at least I realised as soon as I returned from parking the trailer, I just put the plug in & switched the bilge pump on.
Imagine trying to dock there when there's already a trailer backed into the water. What were they going to do?
He said “I hope your wife dies of cancer” to you or that guy with the mud motor. Damn, what an angry person
Great job captain!
I grew up around longboat pass during the 60's
The struggle is real…
Unless there’s some compelling reason not to, I’ll give up my dock space and ramp turn to a disabled vessel. I’m dumbfounded by how these other boaters reacted to your request. Is that representative of the average boater in your area?

That Four Winns makes a real nice little lake boat. But lake boats don't always make good salt water boats.
U switched boats. What happened to the new one u were using b4 ?
People can be so discourteous. They didn't know had the right away.
