I posted the same comment on another video and was chastised by another poster who thought that idea was dumb because ramp maintenance was the city/county/ state responsibility. Too many experts with no common sense. Let’s wait for the local government clean up crew to show up is a much better idea then spending 5 minutes with a $10 rake to make your day easier.
The one thought that I always have when watching these pull outs is: isn't there an attendant, ranger, or someone that manages this park that can either sweep or hose the slippery cover back into the water as the tide lowers? Even just someone who does it voluntarily that receives tips or something. Baffles me. I guess if that happens, there wouldn't be much excitement for Miami Boat Ramps. Those kayakers need to slow down!! Haha.
I'll agree with having a flexi steel-tine rake and stiff bristle push broom for prepping the ramp surface, but something else a 2WD pickup driver can do (besides having a rear axle limited slip or locker), is to have several hundred pounds of extra weight in the rear of the bed. A big rig truck innertube can be cut into two tubular sections, filled with sand, and the ends folded over and screwed closed. Several of those in the bed will add considerable weight. Water can be used for weight, but a filled 5 gal jug only weighs a little over 40 lbs.
I still don't understand, if you're towing with a truck, why you don't throw a garden rake and a stiff bristle yard brush in the bed when you head out to the boat ramp. 🤔
Listen, we're talking about people that don't have lines or fenders either... If these folks were making good life decisions, they'd just set their money on fire.
50 years ago when I was in the timber business, we frequently welded railroad track iron to the back of our trucks for better traction. Don’t know if it would’ve helped him, but it letting some air out of the rear tires to improve traction used to be a common practice, worth a try.
I grew up in Camino Island in the San Juan Islands in Washington state and lived right on the water. I made it small fortune as a very young man, running the skiff over to the local state park, and either dragging back voters that had engine failures or we’re having trouble getting their boats out of the water. seaweed is slick. There’s no doubt about it the best way to do this is to make sure you got a cocaptain that’s competent enough to be able to do a power out end of story.
Granted i live in midwest but growing up dad always told me something that still do every summer at the ramp. Before i back down i lock the truck in 4x4 every single time no matter what. But we don't have the southern lifted fake off road trucks up here lol.
Hey Broncos Guru, God, I love all of you channels, great job on everything!!! You’d think if these people know about this ramp they’d at least bring a rake with them??? 😂😂 Are these ramps owned and operated by the park district in Miami, if so, why don’t they send a crew member there to do a little maintenance on them, like clean them off 😱 Ron
If I were boating again, and towing with a two wheel drive, I would have a couple of plastic drums in the back filled with water till you get out at least. Then drain them for the ride home.
My 4wd 2500, a tow strap and a sign: " Back your trailer for 5, tow you out for 10". I could work 10 hours Saturday and Sunday and make operations at the ramp so much smoother. Where do I sign?
They had to see the debris on the ramp when they pulled up. I have zero sympathy for anyone who thinks it is a waste of time to clear the debris before attempting to use the ramp.
I have seen this method work several times. Get out of the boat and put all weight on the bumper of the truck. Yes, bouncing up and down helps a lot. I never understand why people stay in the boat and add to the problem.
People are so silly. If you know this ramp is very slick or covered with debris why not come prepared? Bring a rake, a bag of sand, and a couple asphalt shingles. That would kinda kill the fun from these videos though.
It looks like he's got 4x4 on the second dock he went to. But just spinning the tires until the guy started bouncing on the rear.. Should not have had the other person in the boat however?? I'd be parked up top with a winch on the front and just sit there and charge folks $20 to winch them out.. ha, ha... 😆
Imagine living in Florida*, where you only need 4wd once in a blue moon. I could have used 4wd maybe 4-5 times in 21 years where I live in NC, so that would have worked out about $1,000 (2002 dollars) for each time I would have used it! .... Not to mention a much larger turning circle, increased tire wear, and poorer gas mileage. *Also, GA, AL, MS, LA, SC, half of NC, and most of Texas.
@@Prolific_Troll Mudding is a _choice,_ for a few, not a _need_ for most truck owners. 🙄 Oh, and my truck, which is stock, precisely how it left Ford's KLT factory, actually sits _lower_ than a stock 4wd truck of the same model. 🙂
Legit question…why doesn’t the local city have a truck and crew, that can pump water from the inlet, through a firehose or something, and hose down the ramps when this kind of thing happens? It happens allot. 🤷🏻♂️🇨🇦
Are there any jails nearby? Maybe a deal could be worked out where the inmates can clean the ramps in exchange for commissary money and time outside in the fresh air.
I don't understand why these people don't put their floor mats under the drive wheel(s) for traction. Even a couple of wool army blankets would do the trick.
does no one maintain the boat ramps? youd think theyd have maintenance crews to keep the grass cleaned up so the ramp is actually usable... having it covered in grass and so slick is pretty unsafe IMHO. This is also why any truck I ever have will be 4WD. I admit I rarely use it... as I have good 35 inch tires and usually dont need it. but man... when you do need it... its worth the $$$
Don't want, can't afford a 4x4, at least carry buckets of sand, a rake, or those snow traction mats, next idea, launch boat, ( less wieght )pull up truck, clean ramp, wait for high tide ( if you have time ) maybe not to steep angle of boat in water, get help, friend w/4x4 switch veh. pull out boat, treat friend to beers, dinner !

Unless you're constantly going through high water, I don't understand why you'd lift one. My truck is RWD and standard height. I don't go off road and my boat is on the water behind my house. So I don't need 4wd. I have a truck to haul stuff in the bed on concrete.
I always love seeing those faux 4x4s, you know the ones. They have mud tires and a little lift, but they are just pretending.

If you are having trouble getting up the ramp it just makes sense to get people especially full grown adults out of the boat, reduces the weight.
Or have them move to the bow where they'll help the traction.
Out of the boat and into the bed of the truck right over the axle. :-)
@@81bajaj Behind the axle is better.

What you really need is a 4x4 not a 2x4 truck.
Why does no one seem to have a rake?
Maybe because you can buy a boat but cannot buy smart.
Listen, we're talking about people that don't have lines or fenders either...

I don't really know of anyone except landscapers that just randomly drive around with rakes in their trucks.

Sounds like the redneck version of Traction Masters. LOL

Can't imagine taking this stuff up is that hard. Marina must make a ton, no one there to help?
People keep using it so they don't care. And if it's a state facility they won't care even if nobody uses it.

Its actually illegal to buy a 4x4 in Florida; you go straight to jail.

No reason they can't keep the ramps clean
Why don't these guys just carry a bucket of sand to throw down on the ramp to add grip like we do up north for ice?
Looks like loading a boat at low tide is a bad idea.
Why do people buy a 4wd truck if they aren't going to use 4wd? Kinda seems like a waste. Just sayin.
A lot of people down here don't have 4wd trucks. gotta save that money for the cheapest chinese made lift kit!
@@badm0t0rf1ng3r Or because they are just plain stupid.
If he he'd 4x4 it would have drove right out
Why would you go down a greasy boat landing without four-wheel drive
These lifted trucks are useless on boat ramps without 4wd.
Are there any jails nearby? Maybe a deal could be worked out where the inmates can clean the ramps in exchange for commissary money and time outside in the fresh air.
Why not try to use leaf blower?
