Jet ski wrapped up in a body bag... I love your descriptions! I trailered with a jeep for years, It's pretty easy when you know how to back up a trailer but some people just can never get the concept.
I used to work for a tree service company for about 6 years, and I drove all kinds of stuff. Used to drive the chipper truck which was a GMC 6500, 6 speed manual of course and had a big chip dump body on the back. It towed the chipper, which was the largest single axle one they made. It was like driving a trailer that was even shorter than that ski, and the truck had no back window on the enclosed dump bed so you could only use your mirrors to see anything. Normally you could just barely see the edge of the chipper far out in the mirrors when you were driving it straight down the road. Other than that, like backing up you couldn't see shit. The chipper was over 9,000lbs too, so it wasn't a toy and would sink into customers lawns if you weren't careful. Plus we had to throw out plywood sheets when we drove either of our bucket trucks because they were heavy and huge and would sink right in and wreck shit if you weren't paying attention. Point is I feel for the guy in the jeep with the ski. He would never be able to drive that chipper truck/ chipper. He would probably hit something under pressure LOL
Used to back up my kayak trailer with my jeep back in the day. That was tough enough as it is! Wifey and I had the comms between us down pat but MAN, it took some time to learn. Probably 4 or 5 trips out to get it right.
We were such amateurs in our youth. We had a small tri-hual. My husband tried backing up without the boat and kept trying. I got out and would pull the trailer the direction it needed to go. After a few times those that were waiting, started helping me and we got it done. I knew my husband was embarrassed, but hey, we all got a good laugh out of it!
CCC, you're so right about the 90 degree point in turning either direction backing up. If you go past 90, then you're already in trouble unless you're good and can fix the counter steer. For noobs, small movements.
Worked in a large Rental Yard for a few yrs and I learned to back a trailer, it was required. I used that same technique, hand on the lower steering wheel and move it the direction you wanted the trailer to go. I can see why there always seems to be a small crowd of spectators at that ramp, busy days must leave you spoiled for choice on what to edit in.
Why the hate for the Rebar Anchor ?? 🙂 It's a wreck hook. It's what us Wreck Divers have used for years. If you get hung up, you simply drive the boat opposite direction,,,, the rebar bends and your free without losing your anchor. Straighten it back out and use again......
Ok CCC got me laughing already at 1:16......"pull the dock right ovef the boat"....good one!! I tell you every video how much you crack me up. Another great one⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓
That Jeep should have been the easiest vehicle in the world to back that gnat. The short wheelbase makes it a breeze. That JK doesn’t have a backup camera but they are super easy to backup.
Hey Capt Up here in the north east Long Island sound area during blackfish ( Tautog) season We fish on top of ship wrecks We never drop anchor instead we use grappling hooks made of number 5 re bar Best thing to grab on that wreck And in case can’t retrieve it Cut the line and go Just saying Great videos 👍🙏👍
I'm here in Rhode Island I use the wreck anchor rebar anchor all the time striped bass fishing in the rocks it's a lot better than losing anchors especially since a lot of our fishing is done in the middle of the night the last thing you want to deal with is a stuck anchor right off of 6 or 8 ft breakers that are breaking on boulders
With a 2 door jeep it is super easy to back up & launch. You can pull down head first to the ramp, than make a tight 180 turn down the ramp. Then you got like 50ft left to back up. That’s how I did it with my jeep.
I had to fast forward past the Jeep part, it was driving me crazy. He should have done it for her most of the way, to the part where all she had to do, is go straight back a few feet
Pattern recognition. When you attempt to dock the boat from the bow, the stern always moves away from the dock. Try the midship technique for better results!
I like your entertaining but intelligent commentary. I’m also using the hand at the bottom of the wheel technique…easiest way to reverse with a trailer.
I earned my Class A years ago, and learning to back a trailer was humbling. I found the shorter the trailer, the more challenging it could be. Ive seen RVers with the same challenges. Ya gotta go to an empty lot and practice.
@4:00--Jeep makes it even harder when they do Not drive forward enough to straighten the trailer. I'd say that a rookie mistake, but we have a friend that has been doing that with boat/snowmobile/motorcycle trailers for 50 Years! He also waits until you hit something, Before waving like crazy to stop. I use the 3, 2, 1-foot, Hand Clap method, to show the driver when to stop.
I wish people would get their boat or jet ski ready before they back down instead of doing it on the ramp . It is so rude to not be ready. And if you cant back then let someone who knows do it, if there is no one there to do it for you then freakin go practice before you go to boat ramp. STOP being rude and stupid at the ramp !!!!!
I learned how to back through a gate on a big-azzed tractor with the baler and the big hay basket attached. Bet I could back a jeep with a boat trailer 😁. Just need to get a boat and a jeep LOL.
It helps if you pay attention to the trailer while driving. If it looks the same as when your are driving forward, it will go straight. Same thing when connecting to the trailer. You don't have to see the tongue and hitch. If the fenders are right, so is everything else. You shouldn't need more than small corrections and a nod when to stop.
Was a trucker in another lifetime. Backing strait in is the easiest. Get strait , lined up to where you are going. Back up and never turn the wheel more than a quarter of a turn. Done
Hand at the bottom and move it the way you want the trailer to move works well. Rather than stand in the water and wave the arms frantically, he could have walked next to the door and used words the driver can understand.
I got to give you credit in the voice-over commentary, as I'd be laughing so hard with the jeep and jet ski backing in. I remember when I was in the military, back up trailers and have my "ground guide" doing that spinning hand thing. Furthermore, I'd get out of the truck and say, do you have any idea what the hell that spinning nonsense looks like in a mirror? Then simply say, just point the direction you need me to have the trailer go. After "training" my ground guide, I could back a trailer in the woods (not paved) between trees with six inches of clearance on each side. So you may understand how I watched that Jeep backing up and almost falling out of the chair laughing. Don't know how you are so steady with your voice watching that. Heck, I might have to stop watching your videos for safety reasons.
LAUGHING OUT LOUD HERE, nothing against Jeeps, but that backing a trailer is SO FUNNY. Get it straight, keep it somewhat STRAIGHT... Easy as that. Use the Mirrors, USE YOUR BRAIN.....
Why do I want to strangle my back up guide when he uses the wax on, wax off signals? Don't tell me which way to turn the wheel, I'll decide that. Tell me which way the trailer needs to go, and I'll make it do that. And, yes, small adjustments are your friend.

I'd pay real money to see you interview these peeps after. Show em the vid then, Let's talk about this....

Gotta love the tri-haul boats we had a 14 footer and since it was the mid 80s we practically owned the lake in Connecticut. Best of times!!!!

Rule of thumb with small trailers, if you can’t see it in your side mirrors your good. It’s the smallest wheel turns and it’ll stay straight.
I just have a Jet Ski, but I watch a lot of these videos to make sure I'm not some idiot that end ups on someone's youtube channel. Great Content!
Your voice over is the best

Hates a strong word. We just don’t see them here since it’s all sand 90 percent of places
Ok CCC got me laughing already at 1:16......"pull the dock right ovef the boat"....good one!! I tell you every video how much you crack me up. Another great one⚓⚓⚓⚓⚓
"jet ski wrapped up in a body bag" lmao.
your commentary is the best, I laughed through most of this video! thanks CCC\
this guy in the jeep is killing me, it's 3:00 a.m. and i am going to make a drink!
"Pull the dock over to the boat" 🤣
That Jeep should have been the easiest vehicle in the world to back that gnat. The short wheelbase makes it a breeze. That JK doesn’t have a backup camera but they are super easy to backup.
Agreed, he had all the answers, why didn’t he just do it?
Great reversing tip! bottom of the wheel is where the trailer goes.....and get all that crap off the jetski before you start the ramp approach!
You're absolutely right about 90° turns! Small turns are the secret to backing up a trailer.
Man I had anxiety watchin that jeep and jet ski😂😂…keep em comin my man
Hey Capt
Up here in the north east Long Island sound area during blackfish ( Tautog) season
We fish on top of ship wrecks
We never drop anchor instead we use grappling hooks made of number 5 re bar
Best thing to grab on that wreck
And in case can’t retrieve it
Cut the line and go
Just saying
Great videos 👍🙏👍

I want a Captain hat!
I like your entertaining but intelligent commentary.

I’ll back it for beer😂😂😂😂
These boat launch videos remind me of when I was sixteen with a fresh license, then I turned seventeen and launch like a pro!
I earned my Class A years ago, and learning to back a trailer was humbling.
I found the shorter the trailer, the more challenging it could be.
Ive seen RVers with the same challenges.
Ya gotta go to an empty lot and practice.
Jetski is nowhere near ready to go in the water. Wrapped and tied down, mean while he has his jacket on and ready to roost.
@4:00--Jeep makes it even harder when they do Not drive forward enough to straighten the trailer.
I'd say that a rookie mistake, but we have a friend that has been doing that with boat/snowmobile/motorcycle trailers for 50 Years!

30.6 K followers. Good for you CCCaptian. Keep them coming
That’s slow growing fb is over 110k
Muscles is my friend, his name is Caleb. He has the bladder of a 3 year old girl and was definitely heading to the bathroom lol
Simple driveway markers mounted on small trailers, allow you to see them in the mirrors.
Imagine what the boat ramps in China are like.
Your satire is priceless..that's how I know your married 😅
She can’t stand me
@@CreditCardCaptain 😆
I wondered why RUclips was nolonger recommending your videos, turns out I watched them all. Great 2 day binge watch
You should wear one of those captain hats, that would be funny.
That muscle guy had a turtle head or ate some really good Mexican food before the trip!!!
Hey Cap'n, I drive an '06 TJ. My 16' Jon boat rolls just fine forwards and back behind my Jeep. Then again, I've done more than a few times.
I wish people would get their boat or jet ski ready before they back down instead of doing it on the ramp . It is so rude to not be ready. And if you cant back then let someone who knows do it, if there is no one there to do it for you then freakin go practice before you go to boat ramp. STOP being rude and stupid at the ramp !!!!!
At first i thought the thumbnail said captain balls 😂
:) you know the game
Another great video as always keep up the great work.
I learned how to back through a gate on a big-azzed tractor with the baler and the big hay basket attached. Bet I could back a jeep with a boat trailer 😁. Just need to get a boat and a jeep LOL.
Thank you, I needed that laugh 5:50
That’s not a body bag on the jet ski, it’s one of those free coupon harbor freight tools tarps. Limit one per person😂

Body bag....love it
how is the lady with the 1 arm the one helping 😂. i mean don't get me wrong cudos to her for doing awesome job.
I've done my share of wing walking (P-3C Orion's).
Don't be so kind for those that can't back up.
BTW, funny to put decency limits on videos that use such double entendre 😂
Another great show.🎉
Was a trucker in another lifetime. Backing strait in is the easiest. Get strait , lined up to where you are going. Back up and never turn the wheel more than a quarter of a turn. Done
Always enjoy your videos. Wondering if you know of a dry storage place where I can store my 29 ft center console.
Yeah you can store it at my shop leave the keys and a full tank of fuel 👍
fluorescent tubes are coded in 1/8 inches. So a T8 is 1 inch in diameter. The T stands for tubular.
With the tongue length on that jeep trailer would be so easy to back up blindfolded
Anything is hard to backup when you don't know how to drive and your instructor is hiding behind the trailer doing the macarena...
Backing a trailer with a 2 door Jeep is easier than with a truck, especially short trailers like that.
I’m so tired of these floating shopping carts!
WOW. That boat with the bow thruster was WAY too big for a half ton ram. Just total insanity. Some people are just totally braindead.
As a trucker with a Jeep I can tell ya, it's not the Jeep that's the problem.
Hand at the bottom and move it the way you want the trailer to move works well. Rather than stand in the water and wave the arms frantically, he could have walked next to the door and used words the driver can understand.
The shorter the towing vehicle, the easier to back up. Simple fact. Jeeps are easy to back up unless they are limo-jeeps.
I like my jeep for the pwc... and my truck for the much longer boat...
At the boat ramp is not where you learn how to back a trailer
the worst hand signals ever 6:30
Jet ski should have also got cover and straps off before getting on ramp

Too bad there aren't any empty parking lots that a person can practice backing up.
And you didn't mention that the Jeep guy didn't have anything ready for launching.
Takes tye body bag off. It’s there.
You should sell Credit Card Captain hats. Just sayin'.
LAUGHING OUT LOUD HERE, nothing against Jeeps, but that backing a trailer is SO FUNNY.
Get it straight, keep it somewhat STRAIGHT...
Easy as that.
Use the Mirrors, USE YOUR BRAIN.....
the guy in the jeep just needed to pull up straight and then back down. i nearly smashed my keyboard, i was so angry!
The Jeep is not the problem.
Problem with the steering wheel.
when is the credit card captain getting a new boat??????
Winter.
Single PWC trailers are the worst - nothing to do with the drive vehicle.
Why do I want to strangle my back up guide when he uses the wax on, wax off signals? Don't tell me which way to turn the wheel, I'll decide that. Tell me which way the trailer needs to go, and I'll make it do that. And, yes, small adjustments are your friend.
Great show again. USA Jeff Baran 🇺🇸 FOREVER

I pull a 18’ pontoon with my Jeep and a mini backhoe, terramite, you have to have common sense.
