Manitowoc Minute host Charlie Berens launches a fishing boat with Myles the You Betcha guy. Myles attempts to use the Ford Trucks backup camera to mixed results while Charlie offers to help launch the boat.
I’m sitting here thinking “that boat ramp looks familiar.” I’m from Chetek and that’s my boat ramp. Sweet!
Good thing you werent there that day it might have taken a while to launch lol
Haha that's cool
Ooh Chetek!!!! Also I'd love to be an Extra in a future video. My kids keep asking if I can be a Target Dad if I get married again. 🤣
I thought so too!!!!!
It's a lovely spot. Nice for you.
You forgot the part when the boat is finally off the trailer you have to say “Well at least it floats” or “Hey look she floats!”
Or, "did you put the plug in?"
Jason W- lol been there. However that should be the job of the guy with the twelve pack. It’s the least he can do, he doesn’t even have to leave his chair!
She floats until ya realize ya forgot to put the drain plug back in. I've never done that just heard about it. Just saying......
Angry Hippo- We have to know...was there a third date?
Angry Hippo was there a third??
After 15 years working at a local boat launch, this is spot on. This needs a part 2 that includes: losing the boat off the trailer, trailer wheel overheating and catching fire, forgetting the parking brake and having car or truck go in, drunk idiots fishing off the dock and complaining about the fish getting scared away, kayakers and canoers cutting the line and starting a fight, etc. 😂
So true! You also need the line of people honking at them to get the boat it
A dnr officer offered to help my first time I let him, launch it
Lol
Can you explain or describe the tire catching fire?
@@Tony29103 it had something to do with the bearings overheating due to the weight of the boat combined with not performing maintenance on the trailer. It was an older trailer and the grease was old.
@@danbasford7456 Bwahahahah. I'm sorry but that's funny as hell.
As the guy that waits near the ramp with a 12 pack:
You nailed it.
Last weekend. Every weekend.
Needs spouses yelling at each other to finish the ambiance.
🤣 Truth!
Sittin' with a twelver watchin' the boat launch, perfect !
Free entertainment! Except for the beer of course...
Done that, it is a great time.
Bring in the boat before the evening rush, stay for the action and drama movies at the drive in
Man
We have a steep boat launch that becomes very slick if it hasn't rained for a while and becomes oily after a slight rain
Well the local tow truck driver just wait in the adjacent parking lot rubbing there hands together
It's hilarious watching the slide brakes on full into the water with windows down till fully submerged
Oh ya and the dive club set up and practice at the boat launch
The response time is incredible
You missed the "These mirrors suck, I gotta look over my shoulder" step.
Otherwise nailed it, and your bro-in-inlaw is a great sidekick.
Or the
"If you cant see me I cant see you.. IF YOU CANT SEE ME I CANT SEE YOU!"
The amount of dislikes equals the amount of people to can't back up a trailer
Dislikes count not nearly high enough
@@JasonW. so true.
I hate backing up trailers with a burning passion of a thousand suns
@@ianthompson2802 It got so much easier when I learned to put my hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and then just move your hand in the direction you want the boat to go.
0?
Don't forget the legendary stage six, forgetting to put the parking brake on when you get out and watching gravity back the whole-ass truck into the water.
"He's got a 12 pack with him." lost it lmao
How many do I have left?... oh 9, that should do it.... LOL 😂
"Aw, man! I'm late for church!"
"fergot da plug, darn it. Pull er back out."
Now we got a crowd!? Yeah, he's got a 12-pack with him 😆 ... He's ready for the show haha
After I screwed up backing up a trailer at 16, my dad made me back a trailer down a quarter mile driveway. After many times, I learned.
I taught myself at 16. The only way I was going to get the boat in the water after school was by doing it myself. Nowadays I can drive in reverse better than most people drive forward.
@@dartdodge69 Same here. Ink on my license hadn't dried yet and I'd already launched a dozen times. (First couple tried looked pretty much like this I'll admit. :) )
Everyone needs to start learning from no knowledge.
Only some people actually learn.
@@dartdodge69 that's not saying much
How many tyre marks did you leave in the lawn before getting it right every time?
I’ve always thought a reality show called “The Boat Ramp” would be the best show! The drama and yelling would be hilarious!
Only followed by the fuel dock in FL.
From the camper community. I like to say, "God forgive me for the things I say while backing the camper up."
😂😂
I used to teach camper and coach owners how to drive their RVs around. Take you camper to an empty parking lot and practice. The only way to ever gain enough confidence to enjoy it is through practice. Buy some traffic cones at a cheap tool place. Go there and just do it. I had owners wives backing a triple axle 5th wheel around a parking lot in circles. They always enjoyed their toys more with that confidence.
Cheers and enjoy that camper. Some of my best times were working with the people who enjoy them.
This gives me flashbacks to my childhood when, around stage 2, dad would yell, "Sit down and shut up!"
Haha me too
My Dad used to bring a folding chair and an ice chest and watch the launchers on the ramp. It was a pretty wide and busy ramp so lots of opportunity for entertainment.
One time I saw some guy sitting in his boat, yelling at his wife who was backing up the trailer in to the water. He kept swearing at her, telling her to back in deeper because the boat wasn't floating.
He forgot to release the ties on the transom of the boat that strapped it to the trailer.
This was my exact experience the first time I tried backing the trailer in while my dad was in the boat. I was 17 and had used the time driving to the boat launch to smoke a bowl, since it was the only time I could get away from everybody. I tried backing in and I was too high to figure it out. And of course there was an old dude with a beer who had seemed to have been there all day just watching people launch who decided to tease me about it when I gave up. Luckily it wasn't crowded at the time I was the only one there on a 5 lane launch.
@Straight Razor Daddy Southern California
The only thing I ever heard about reversing with a trailer: "It's the opposite of the opposite of what you think it is."
Before you start backing, move your hand to the bottom of the steering wheel. This removes the need for the opposite. You then just move your hand in the direction you want the boat to go.
Charlie : "You can't pick your brother in-laws, you can't pick your brother in-laws" That part had me rolling! 🤣
The mantra of my late father - "You can't pick your family but you can pick your friends..."
My dad's been a boat mechanic for 40 years and he absolutely loved this.
Late for church, takes two or tree beers
The second I saw him crank the wheel for the first pass, I knew we were in for it. LOL
You forgot the final stage where the wife is screaming hysterically while the truck spins the tires and the whole thing goes in the drink.
That guy is usually in front of me.....
Dont forget the guy who takes off his safety chain and taps his brakes too early and dumps her on the ramp. Or there is always the guy who forgets to put his plug in first. He's easy to spot as he screams obscenities and tears his boat apart looking for the plug while blaming his wife for not putting it in. Or my all time favorite! Forgot to put the parking brake on and left it in reverse while you jump out guy! Nearly run yourself over as you put the truck in bed deep. Ha, nothing beats the ramp for entertainment.
Bunch of noobs. I grew up on a lake and am a truck driver, so I haven't had many issues. I always hate going to public ramps. Not only are you not supposed to drink, but it takes FOREVER to get moving, mostly due to idiots in front of you.
Next time just say, hey guy keep er movin
My dad forgot to put the plug in once, fortunately he realized that before the trailer was pulled out
I had a buddy always so excited to get fishing hed forget to unstrap and submerge the boat
I've plenty of times people "keeping 'er moving" while on the lake and heading back to keep 'er draining til they got back to the landing. Few brave souls also in the shallows trying quickly to stuff the plug back in as they're screaming to keep bailing 'er.
Stage 6: Refuse to use the Trailer Backup Assist the truck has that’s made to avoid Stages 1-5.
Charlie should have walked over and asked the third guy if he could spare a beer.
OMG This is me with the crowd watching me trying to thread the needle of the pontoon into the marina slip. Cripes, those windy days get ya.
Next backing challenge - hay wagon!
And then - Hay wagon hooked to the baler!
I love that the trailer backup system was in frame the whole time here
At this point I’m choosing sides and I’m with Charlie.
Keep ‘er movin!
Sittin' at the boat launch on a holiday weekend is a great way to pass the time, and it's free entertainment!
I think I'm going to try doing this someday, just for the entertainment😄😆
about a THOUSAND Skotches that way....
"You can't pick your brother in laws" 🤣🤣🤣
True story, my boat and trailer are small and light enough so I can pick them up and keep them behind the truck as I try to back them into the water. Game Warden saw what I was doing and walked away.
Props to you for acknowledging your limits. That's true strength.
You're just using the tools at your disposal, guy
I have picked up many empty trailers to straighten them back out when trying to retrieve my boat.
Then there is stage two, when your over 60, and you can magically back it in perfectly without fail
* When *you're* over 60.
That's my dad. Boom. Done.
Hell yea at Pokegoma Inn, Chetek. Grew up launching there and the other 2 in chetek!!!!
I had no idea hanging out at the boat ramp was a thing in other states, did that for years in Florida, great way to spend a day, cooler a beer, a chair, oh ya.
I wonder how many people like me watch on both channels so each gets credit....
I feel like that is the only option lol
Hell ya
The videos aren’t the same when they’re both not in it
Definitely a fan of YB! As well!!
So, Charlie, I see you've watched my relatives launching their boats at the lake....
I'm the person at Stage 5 when Charlie drops his head down to his chest, wishing I was dead, because I have been waiting so %$#@!! for 'em to get the doggone boat launched so we can get out on da water dere.
Should have “3 hours later” boat hits the water and floats freeeeeeeee without a rope or drive aboard.
I'm from South Louisiana and I've heard this story before, only the accents change!
Look, I know you guys have your own channels, merchandise, podcasts, etc to promote. But these collaboration videos are so unbelievably funny.
Summer boat launches: Best free entertainment around
I have no boat, I’ll never need to know this but it’s still hilarious!
"Oh shit I'm late for church!" Lmao. He had to drink some beers before lol
Just, . . . THANK YOU. It makes my week to see your videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your time, effort and talent!
USE THE TOOLS AT YOUR DISPOSAL!
Pokegama Inn! Went there hundreds of time growing up when my family used to vacation in Chetek! Love it!
Is that where you can get the 96er’
And just as it slides off the trailer you look at each other and say in unison, "Did you remember to put the drain plugs in?"
Did you catch a huge northern der guy
Hospitalman u watching fifty and dis guy yah me to
You mean de snot rockets?
“How many beers do I got in here 9 “
I lost it
So good. I was waiting for the "forgot the plug step".
Right next to Miles' hand at 3:44 you can see that the truck has the trailer backup assist knob. Should have used that.
You forgot the part where your dad yells at you "STEER IN THE DIRECTION YOU SEE IT GOING" and then threatens to make popcorn.
My boss JUST invited me to go boating in a couple days, great timing. Now I have to send this to him and start the jokes.
Stoner craft
Wow been awhile since I've seen one of them. The Lund boats are made in the next town over from me. They are nice.
I remember when I was younger me and my friends would go to the boat launch at the lake we frequented and set up chairs just to watch the newbies try and back in. Good times.
My grandparents used to sit and watch people at the boat launch. One day they saw 2 vehicles go under. The guy backing up didn't have a truck and backed up way too far, all the way up to his rear door. Water got in his trunk and rear seats. The other was a truck that went back too far and the whole truck ended up going in.
That, that's my home town, that's the place I work, thats the boat ramp I stare at daily
For anyone wanting to know for whatever reason, that's Chetek WI, the restaurant is now called lakeside cantina though
ME BACKING MY MINI VAN INTO THE DRIVE WAY
Same. I don’t need a boat to have these 5 stages LOL
Boat launch beer guy is at every ramp.
The little hand and finger wiggles at 3:27 right after the REPEAT section begins is 👌🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻
Perfection, the mantra “you can’t pick your brother-in-laws” fits supremely well. The subtle nuance is so REAL great touch, totally loving these little vignettes!!
I always clip my plug to the front of my trailer to remind to immediately put it in when I hitch the trailer to my truck. I also put my keys on top of whatever item I need to take home from my brother’s house so can’t leave without seeing and thus remembering it.
Today in study hall my teacher was playing boating fails, then he played this and then it cascaded into watching more of Charlie's videos
My first year owning a boat was epic. Was always fun having people watch too. Always makes it way easier lol
"yah, he's got'a 12-pack with him" 😂
This is totally on point, Charlie was livid about Myles and his backup skills. Love the "5 stages of" videos
Hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and move it in the direction you want the boat to go. If you ever need to pull forward to straighten out go twice as far as you think you need to. Never a ramp hog.
Hilarious! I've seen this so many times at "the ramp" and I've been the one behind the wheel screwing up as well...lol!! Good Stuff!
OMG-that is TOTALLY my husband! (Don’t tell him I said that!😉)
For a small fee sent weekly to my off shore account, I can keep this between you and I! =)
Okay I won’t.
he's got a 12 pack with 'em.... this is the best dang collab i've ever seen boys
You forgot the part when you get the boat in the water, but you forget the plug and then sink the boat.
Is this that same brother in law who he almost killed when they first went ice fishing? haha
As I watch this video it sure takes me back to the good ol days of watching them dang FIBS trying to launch their boats, never a dull moment there guys!
You hear him crack a Brew as soon as the guys finished saying we got it
You will always hear some very colorful language at a boat launch especially when busy.
When it comes to backing, grab the bottom of the steering wheel. The 6:00 position turn the wheel. You want the trailer to go. Once it's cocked you follow the trailer around you get lost. Pull ahead. Grab a 6:00 position. Turn the wheel the direction of the trailer to go. I won't practice and you'll be at master back in the trailer.
“How many beers I got left” 🤣
My dad owns a boat and takes us on different lakes in Wisconsin so often, and all of these are true
My family and I were out for like 8 hours on the boat and I came home with the worst sunburn of my life. That’s the thing about MN, you only see the light of day for half of the year
I watched the Midwest Siri, that was sweet but when I saw "Supper Club" on the sign, I subscribed, LOL. Cheers from another life long cheese head!
I've never related more to locational humor and I'm not even from the mid-west
If it gets boring at this boat ramp, you can always come to Shell Lake!!! Lots of entertainment there!!! Ope!!!!
I drive an 18 wheeler and backing up ain't that difficult lol😂 thanks for the laugh though boys👍🏻
My wife and I like to eat at the restaurant by our lakes boat ramp during holidays just to laugh 😆
“You can’t pick your brother-in-laws. You can’t pick your brother-in-laws.” 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh, I grew up watching this stuff at the ramps, I wish we had video recorders back then! Some of the stories had to be seen to believe! But I occasionally write about them as they are burned into my psyche. Lol
My Dad was a commercial truck driver part of his life and taught me how to use my mirrors well for backing. Since I built my first personal boat, I had a boat before i could get a learner's permit or a driver's license. Having a boat first dictated my first vehicle, a pickup.
43 years of boat ownership, and my current boat is too big to trailer except with a semi truck, I still enjoy occasionally hanging out at a boat ramp for the entertainment, it's free!
I just have to keep my laughter to a low volume, it hurts men's egos when we women laugh at them.
Remember guys, if you can't back worth squat you might be like my ex husband. He has depth perception issues...
Encore with four beers left. A perfect Midwest summer day.
This is why you can enjoy the boat launch even without a boat 😉
been watching all these good skits you made thank you , needed a laugh
The following really did almost happen but for a miracle it went differently than expected:
A father and 5 year old son were launching a boat. The dad left the truck motor running, the door open, and was about to push the boat off the trailer. All the while the 5 year old had escaped his car seat and was standing at the steering wheel. Next I saw the left blinker go on then the right blinker. Then the windshield wipers came on then the windshield washers started pumping fluid. The dad was struggling with the trailer winch. Then the emergency flashers came on and the radio
soon was heard. I’m still watching through my binoculars thinking the five year old is about out of things to try when the dad finally gets the boat off of the trailer and returns to the truck cab before his son discovered reverse.
This is so true I go fishing with my dad in the weeeee hours of the morning an I legit will glare at him until he backs up straight...
Best part was the brother in law rushing back up when the rear wheels are already in the water, "Hey, I've got this!"
LOL, I swear this is the best damn YT channel ever.
Lol, cracks a beer, “I’m late for church” . Sweet
That's our chain of lakes! Welcome!!
Don't forget the drain plug, it's right there rattling around in the bilge.
The last part of the guy late for church had me LOL. PK here.
I didn't even own the boat, but I was the guy that had to put it in the water... our thing though was we forgot to put the drain plug in before the first drop in of the year... 3 years in a row!
