Disclaimer : We receive a ton of emails and messages from people telling us we filmed them at the ramp this past weekend and they want to know when the video will air. This is not a question we can typically answer. We film from three or more ramps every week and have a massive back log of content and sometime it could be weeks or months after an event occurs before we air the video. We put stuff out as fast as we can but we only air three videos a week and in a typical weekend get 6-10 episodes worth of content meaning we get content faster then we can air it. Thanks for watching and just be sure to keep watching looking for your content it will air but probably not immediately after it happens!
Something I was taught 35 yrs ago in truck driving school was go to an empty parking lot with cones.backup for a week of evenings and hopefully you got it.either that or take a truck driver boating!
That first guy backing was like my dad when I was a kid. He would back our little runabout into mom's flowers and bushes. He hit the water spigot once and broke it off. I demonstrated to him at age 13 that I could back the boat into the yard and not hit anything, so I learned to drive backwards years before I was allowed to drive in the street.
Me quietly narrating my own launches in BGs voice, "and our guy nailed it, cap knows his stuff" 😅
I like the sound of light rain in Florida.
Since they have security, once you enter the ramp area you have two minutes to launch your boat, after two minutes you have to go back to the end of the line and wait and try again. One persons incompetency should not be the cause of a boat ramp coming to a halt for launching and retrieving boats.
I’m sure you brought a lot of ramps into dead zones…assuming you even own a boat. Just saying.
If I was there I would wish people would practice before getting to the ramp, but everyone is incompetent/useless at some point. It’s just a matter of what level your uselessness is. Putting rookies on a clock who back a trailer a handful of times a year is only going to make them even worse. It’s not like every ramp is going to have someone taking forever. Think about it… if you’re waiting 45 minutes. one ramp was blocked the entire time with a slow guy. If the slow guy wasn’t even there you MAY end saving 30 seconds. The security would be good to educate the rookies about using prep areas, and what to have done before hitting the ramp. You can teach people how to use the facilities, and be more efficient… unfortunately MANY people just don’t have the ability to drive.
@@doriangray2020 at 21 I got out of the Marine corps and bought my first boat, the marina gave me boating lessons, and launching and retrieving lessons before I picked up my boat from them. It was a new 19 ft Bayliner cuddy cabin and all the boats I've ever bought were new, then I bought a 21-foot Switzer craft with a 235 Johnson on it, then I bought two Kawasaki jet skis, then I bought a 24ft pontoon, then I bought a 2855 ciera Bayliner cruiser, then I bought a 65 foot bluewater yacht, then I retired and I now have a 16ft tracker setup for walleye fishing, and Excel FX4 with a 35 horse surface drive, and a 16 ft Boston Whaler super sport. I'm as good as they get when it comes to launching and retrieving a boat. Now I do not expect that from every boater but there should be some level of competency, and if for no other reason the safety of that person and others.
@@theone4929
Do you still have every boat you listed? So it sounds like you think you're better than everyone else.
You forgot to brag about the truck you have.....
@@kubota33 no, I have the tracker, Excel, and Boston Whaler, however, I am contemplating an airboat but I'm think I'm kind of old for that now. I'm retired living in Florida on the withlacoochee River and that's why I have the surface drive, and the Boston Whaler I use in the Gulf to Go scalloping, the tracker I have in Wisconsin where I go walleye fishing, my favorite boat I ever owned was the 21-foot Switzer craft. And as for your perception of me bragging, trust me there are people that make me look like I'm broke. My original response was to a person who told me I probably didn't have a boat and I found that hilarious. Just as you think I'm bragging, that is totally your perception and you are totally entitled to it. I just got my Boston Whaler a few months ago and I don't know if you know this or not but they are the coolest boats because you don't even have to put a drain plug in, they are self-bailing. And as for their hull design I do believe they are the best performance boat I've ever had. I'll leave it at that because I could talk about boats all day long. I hope this clarifies that I am definitely a boat owner 🙂
If he hasn’t reverse that trailer, I’m guessing he can’t drive the boat either!
It hurt to watch that one guy snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when he FINALLY had his trailer on the ramp and lined up.
Poetic
Watching the guy back up his trailer is like watching Swift trying to back up at a truck stop.
Sadly this is how they drive down the road 😂
They should have boat launch valets. Guy/gal runs a tractor and puts boats in and out
And a harbor master
Ive never backed a trailer but I was told to hold the wheel at the bottom and the trailer will go in the direction your hand moves.
There needs to a mandatory license endorsement for towing. Same as a motorcycle. And better ads for condoms. One of those could have prevented this.
That's why I'm pro choice
Incompetent trailer backer-upper here. It would seem that a talented driver could make a good living by backing those trailers in and out for the rest of us at $25 a pop.
Thats a crazy boat ramp. theres NO room in front of the ramp itself. instead theres parking??? WTF, they dont make launch ramps like that in Missouri
It has nothing to do with the boat ramp, there's more then enough room. Just learn to drive with a trailer. Most can't even drive normal with just the car.
It seems to me that the best way to direct someone backing a trailer is to stand in front of the tow vehicle, where you can see the whole situation, and simply use your hands to indicate to the driver which way the wheels should be pointing.
Whenever I help someone back up, I am only as a spotter to keep them from hitting anything. Because no matter what , they will not do what you want all the time.
They should bring everybody into that ramp right there from the other direction. Its a lot easier to back something up like that when you have it on the driver's side VS the passenger side where you can't see it.
A tip to back up any trailer. Put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel. Whichever way your hand turns is the way your trailer will turn.
Don’t come to the ramp until you know how to back up
and ready to launch. Tarp off motor, cooler onboard, etc.......
4:30 Put your hands at 6 o'clock on the steering wheel and turn it in the direction you want the back of the trailer to go. Most important back up SLOWLY.
Thank God the guy in orange was there to direct him.😅
Donald Trump was there 🤣?
Boaters have a different mindset then RVers. RVers will turn their chairs around to watch people backup, as soon as someone gets into trouble or appears to about hit something, people walk over and help. I saw a guy tried twice and couldn't back it in, I walked over and he said dude - jump in and park it for me... Offered me 5 bucks, no sir - it's all good. Then again, I was stuck at a boat launch one time, lined up 7 deep, to launch there was this guy took up an area that 3 can launch at one time and REFUSED to back up the boat get his truck and trailer out of there and wait for everyone to drop theirs and then he could retry. The guy started to yelling at everyone that he can take all the time he wanted... Ranger showed up, told him to move his boat, truck and trailer and be prepared for an inspection since he wants to have that attitude. We all launched one after another no problems while his boat was went through.
There are people you just wish they sink their truck. This guy is one of them.
I took my boat and trailer to a superstore parking lot in the evening and used the outer area that was empty. We had traffic cones to simulate a launch and dock area, and my two buddies that were coming with me on the trip. We had a system down pat in no time. We slid that sucker in and out first try on both. We still laugh about it today every time we do it.
the best way to practice backing is with EMPTY boat trailer in a big parking lot after hours. bring eight old cardboard boxes or small traffic cones from hardware store. like making it to Carnegie Hall ... it takes practice, practice, practice.
I can only imagine how long it took the first guy to retrieve the boat!
When I learned to back a Trailer I was taught little trick to know which way trailer would go when backing. Hold steering wheel at bottom with your hand and look where your thumb is pointed. If wheel is turned that direction that is where your trailer will go.
How does one set themselves up on the right path... Jus to turn the wheel completely opposite and mess it all up 😂
He probably doesn't drive his boat any better.
For all we know it's a father teaching his son how to back a boat in.
Just do it in an empty parking lot though
And not during the weekend!!
If that is true he is not a good teacher
Wobble rollers make a huge difference
Put your hands on the bottom of the steering wheel, move the wheel to right trailer goes to right, move wheel left trailer goes left. Makes it easier for beginners.
“Baby! Lets buy a boat! The payments are $346 a month! We will be able to make those, right? “
“Sure Honey, of neither one of us gets sick and misses work, we will be ok”!
Three months later…. “ Honey!! We bought this boat and you never even use it!! What’s up with this”?
“Well, my baby… Full disclosure, I haven’t been able to back it into the water.”
“WHAT?
Do you have any videos of the fastest launch and recovery? Lets see some videos of the pros
Maybe they should have set this boat ramp up, so drivers can do a “sight” side backup. Instead of a blindside backup.
Want to learn to back up? Go to a big empty parking lot. Make a square out of anything you can see ( A bucket, A piece of clothing,etc) get in the truck and back thru the square. Practice backing in a straight line, then turn and back thru square.
Bottom of the steering wheel trick works, but it doesn't help if you don't know how to do a radius turn, flipping the wheel and maintaining the radius.
Too much thinking. People are doing geometry in their heads instead of just driving the trailer. If they'd find an empty parking lot and back up a few times, they'd get the hang of it, just like driving anything.
I don’t own a boat but operate several times a year. BUT I wouldn’t load a trailer without practicing with an empty trailer for quite a while.
A real life Peter Griffin trying to back down the ramp. 🤣
Boat #1 actually used a midships line and STILL couldn't get it done. I suppose a modicum of skill is still needed, even using a midships - THE most foolproof way to dock.
I think these people have the same hard time when in regular parking lots.
Instead of waiting until you are going to the ramp, take time out in a quiet car park and PRACTICE PARKING between the lines for a day or two until it becomes second nature. Any twin or tri axle trailer is a piece of cake, the small single axles are a big quicker on the turns and need more time to get it right...Rocket science it ain't,
Best thing to do if you can’t backup a trailer or are new to it go to a empty parking lot and practice
You cannot dock without a stern line. The first guy was a rank amateur. If you only have a bow line make sure the dock cleat is ahead of the bow. Tie off with a little slack then turn your moter toward the dock a put it in reverse. It will swing the stern into the dock. Done deal
Need a drone so we can peek from overhead the action we cannot see from afar
If you've ever driven in Miami-Dade you'll understand why they can't back a trailer - they can't drive straight!
To have money to own a boat and to know how to use it are two different things
Someone needs to open up a backing up service get rich quick 😂😂😂😂😂
It's sad to see so many people with such nice boats and no launching skills.
In New Zealand we say " all the gear, and no idea:
Time to visit an empty parking lot for some training and practice.
the guy with the drill was jerry and he was about to rig it back up
No boater safety classes in Florida, apparently.
I wish i knew as much about boating as you think you do
I realized just how slow people are at steering. Thats gonna hurt their ego a lot. Sometimes at low speeds more often than not you need to be USING that wheel but not throttle.
Another cut off video
Miami has more money than they do good captains
No fenders anywhere?
Why the adjustment at five minutes 48 seconds? He couldn’t have been that far from the dock.
if you can afford a center console with twins, you can afford a slip at marina... f the stupid trailers
Wow thank god stuff like this doesn’t happen much down here in Australia idk about the other states bu t Victoria ain’t bad, most people have some sense
Why dont boaters use boat bumpers?
Why does nobody know to put the back line on the cleat, then turn the wheel to get the front parallel with the dock, then tie that off. So easy. Can be done single handed.
So damn painful to watch.
The problem is the one parked in the handicapped space,no one has any room
Some of these people need to take a course in boat driving before they are allowed to be on the water.
I think this guy needs to go home and watch some videos of what NOT to do at the boat ramps. Find an empty parking lot and do some practice and watch a few videos on proper backing of trailers. 🤠👍 We were all new at one time, but the ramp is NOT the place to learn how to do this.
That one guy needs to see a good welder and have a trailer hitch ( Ball ) put on the front of his vehicle. Then he can drive right down to launch his boat. No guarantees weather he makes it after he comes back and loads up trying to back up the ramp.
The first one, you can see he almost makes it into the water and then the person giving him directions starts yelling and screws it all up. They would not have taken so long if the kid(?) giving directions wasn’t such an idiot. When the driver did things on his own he wasn’t great but as soon as his “helper” started giving directions, all was lost.
Stinkpot drivers can't dock. His "crew" set the aft springline properly, all the helmsman needed to do was let the boat drift forward, allowing the springline to pull the boat parallel to the dock, But no, he had to fight it. Not to mention that the wind is from the aft, which should have made docking easier than if it were blowing off the bow. This is an easy docking situation. Set the aft springline and allow the boat to drift parallel to the dock. Set the aft line to keep the stern from drifting away from the dock, then set both the other lines at your leisure.
I'm confused, are we looking at multiple incompetents?
Got it. Multiple incompetent powerboat (and truck) drivers. The guy at 5:58 may be the worst. You understand that you have to put the trailer in the water to get your stupid boat on it, right?
Well the guy in white truck is clearly blocking the launch
The driver is what’s off !! 🤦♂️
Advice….sell your boat and do a driving course…..
Wow. That was painful they should revoke his licence
Please stop calling these idiots captains. They are just boat owners. Captain is something you train for and take a test to get the license.
People buy boats that cost more than their house and have no idea how to launch , unload , dock it or even simply drive it. Pay someone to teach you. Never try to learn during busy times on the weekend.
Dude is angle challenged!
@@fastwin493 me missed something?
@@fastwin493 lol 😂. You are being obtuse?!
A busy boat ramp is not the place to learn how to launch a boat!
What is a "Broncos Guru"?
Maybe someone can reverse it for him?
Here again just because you can afford a boat doesn't mean you should buy one! Someone needs too pull that guy out of has truck and show him how to back a trailer down a ramp!
The boat launch is not the place to learn how to back up a trailer
No fenders. Fk it I’ll just drive 40 grand right into the dock who needs those.
😢😢so sad that people don’t spend money on lessons before buying a boat.
No one in this channel knows how to drive a flipping boat like wth lol
The poor driving and directing skills reminds me ever so much of my time in Colombia....
I never knew stupid until I tried to launch a boat at a ramp in Miami. These videos are good, but they don't really do the amounts of drunk and dumb you'll witness justice.
The dude in the red shirt is zero help!
how do you not have the awareness that you are taking too long, people are waiting and you need to move out of the way? I don't understand how people can act like this. Whenever I am somewhere public, the last thing i want is everyone staring at me and pissed off. I don't get how people are so stupid. The idiot behind the truck keeps giving bad instructions. I am surprised the ford driver did not understand this and tell that guy in the red shirt to get out of the way. I would just tell them to both get away from their truck and I will do it for them.
Can no one load a boat in Miami? They should require training.
That guy having trouble worries me for when I get a boat. I don’t want to wind up on a channel like this haha
Just go to a big empty parking lot and practice.
Put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel, then move your hand in the direction you want the boat to go.
@@dalegereaux1863 I have a utility trailer that I’ve had to back up before. I’m not horrible but not great either. Have a feeling I’d be worse with an audience.
@@vijilant I have a utility trailer that I’ve had to back up before. I’m not horrible but not great either. Have a feeling I’d be worse with an audience.
@@tommyrussell1415 i’ll practice with my wife watching as she Hurles insults at me haha.
With such long trailers with long drawbars and long vehicles it's baffling as to why adult males struggle with this this....Try an empty out of sight jetski trailer
did these people fail basic common sense physics, how can you not have a rope AT THE BOW and AT THE STERN... that's FRONT and BACK!.... also why don't these boats have bumpers deployed? there should be at least 3 on the docking side.
I just don't understand why so many people have such a hard time backing a trailer. It's really not hard. Just a little practice and one should be able to master it pretty easily.
Those first two guys are hard to watch. When they first landed (smacking the bow)... they shouldve been tied & done. But no.... .
If you can't back a trailer, don't buy a boat.
Sadly , lots of Democrat voters lack common sense
Florida boat ramps waay worse than California. And that is hard to do.
Over and over we see these owners of boats that do not know what to do in a basic way. And this is where Florida and the other boat docks are going ... owners with big and expensive boats and no skills at all.
Forrest Gumps with Too Much Money...
TOO MUCH obnoxious commentary…🥺🥺🥺
You can turn your volume off weirdo only other sounds is engine noise anyways
Oh my God, cut the verbiage, it's not a football game ya know
Pull up - Straighten up. Why don't people practice?
Try, try and try again does not work when limited mental capacity is involved and the same errors are repeated again and again.
