What they need to do is just watch other boaters. Better yet, they should subscribe to your channel and watch and learn. 😂 They make it so much harder than it needs to be.

For anyone who struggles with backing trailers. Just take it to an empty parking lot and practice. Practicing with set lines / cones will really help.

At 21:44 when she gets out of vehicle and says “you don’t want me to try and straighten up”, I lost it. My stomach muscles are sore now……laughed hard 😂

OMG those two are the epitome of "We don't need no man!" when clearly they really, really do.

At the end of the day I was usually the one bringing in boats because no one else was sober enough!! I became everyone’s captain! 😂

If I struggled that much with a boat, I wouldn't own a boat.

I love how excited you got when you saw the Jeep 🤣

That big sportfisher is really nice!!! The jet boat ladies really struggle, but hey, it takes practice. I learned to back a trailer at 15 years old when I got a Hobie 14. To their defense, short wheel base vehicles and short trailers are a challenge. The slightest turn will change your angle. Slow and steady wins the race. 😂

You just gotta admire the persistence and determination of those two ladies to 'enjoy' their boating experience.

Hey Dan. Love your show! I’m a 60 year old woman & I have always backed my boat in & trailered it! My hubby is awful at it! It’s not rocket science & has nothing to do with men vs women. No physical strength needed. I’ve been boating & fishin since I was 5 years old. These “Yo-Yo’s” that can’t back & trailer a boat ..shouldn’t own a boat! Morons!! Keep up the good work!

U-know Dan I taught my Daughter to back a trailer in the driveway at home, she got really good at it too. (a small 8X5 utility trailer) Just a small tip from an old goat, (1). learn to use your mirrors. (2). If the trailer tail fades right turn right, if the tail fades left, turn left. Hope this helps someone.

An old trick that I learned about backing a trailer as a kid…put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Move your hand left to back left and move your hand right to back right. It’s easy and it works.

there is something deeply satisfying watching this...I have a small boat and very liteweight trailer and I look like two monkeys humping a football trying to back it up :):)....glad to see I am not alone

The incompetence demonstrated by most of these boaters is simply mind boggling.

Hey Big Dan, new viewer!! Your 'show' is fantastic!! Man, it's entertaining and if new boaters pay attention, it's educational. I gave my helm seat to my Son awhile back. We started out with a 15' Procraft, that's where he learned to pilot a boat, back up a trailer and studied and memorized watercraft rules and laws. We went all the way up to a 38' Scarab when we moved to Florida. Now he has a 21' Ranger. I really wish there was a show like yours back when my Son started. Your show would have been required watching!!! Enjoy your show so much. My Son is watching you too....... Sgt Dan .... USA-Retired April 1969

Must be loading a submarine!

Always enjoy your videos ! There is some crazy people out at the boat docks !🤪🤪 stay safe

Man those are some nice Vikings!

I like how Jelly Roll's Lost Cause was playing in the background when the Jeep girls were fumbling around Lol!

I cant believe that pregnant lady is out there in the heat struggling with that boat. She should be taking it easy.

I just fixed coffee and I think I’m going to pop popcorn just in case I’m having to sit awhile till they load the toons. Lol

I think pontoons are harder because they are like empty beer cans in water, any little wave or wind and they get blown around.

Hey, Big Dan! Have you thought about starting classes for rookies on loading and unloading boats? You would make a fortune.

Outstanding new to the show but it’s very relaxing to watch. Look forward to the next one. Thank you for this one no yelling no screaming. Just a good video.

Practice makes perfect , they will learn 👍🏼 we all do !

As a person that backs in a bumper pull livestock trailer, this drives me nuts! I keep yelling, "Turn the wheels the other way." These people need to go to an empty parking lot or field and practice prior to going to the docks.

That is a sweet boat launch out that way. Had to go and find it on google. Sure wish we had a nice place like that.

Nice boat ramp facility ! A lot depends on how well you setup your trailer to accept the type of boat or pontoon you have ! It can save you a lot of headaches from your inabilities and make you look more like a pro . Lol

It's baffling how people can watch their boat floating and not realize they're backed in too far

Thought that dog was a polar bear for a second there. 😂😂

My grandfather lives in the Bayview condos just down the road! Love the videos.

Equal rights….and equal lefts. 👊

I float around on a Doral Prestancia 30-foot express cruiser for 7-12 days at a time over the 3 big summer holidays... My happy place. Solo launch/retrieve it most of the time faster than it takes these folks just to back their trailer in.

Why is this so relaxing too watch😂

I watch these videos of people with their “shorty” pontoon boats and I giggle at the thought of them trying to trailer my 27’ pontoon houseboat. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey Dan ..fun new drinking game..everytime a idiot backs in the water too crooked or not enough ..drink 8 Oz..u will have your water intake in no time!😂😂

The drone though!!! Brilliant 😂

"My viewers dont want to hear no dog barking" lol

The men I see trying to get them on trailers I wouldn’t want to drive like 😂😂

As part of the boating course they need to have a test for backing a trailer😂😂😂

2 beautiful yachts in the beginning..cool dog with the life jacket

Hope they don't have to back into a driveway when they get home lol 😅

Love the Big Dan Show! Unfortunately we can't buy experience. #InWayTooDeeeep

18:42 she backs in like most truck drivers! Back and forth without turning the steering wheel expecting the trailer to end up in the right place on its own

First time watching your videos. It's very entertaining! Now I'm going to Subscribe.

Running a SeaArk Easy 200 for 11 years. Love your channel and all the narration 👍😄😄

I like that she pulls so far out to straighten it. It's difficult to watch because it really isn't that hard.

When I was a kid my dad said to use the bunks and rollers as a guide, the front of the bunks should be above the eater or shallow enough that when you hit the trailer they guide the boat on. And never back in deep enough for the bow is under the winch roller

Great content!

That was some comic relief 😂

Yamaha has to repossess that boat 🤣

It’s hard to watch these 2 ladies load this Seadoo boat!!!!!!! It’s actually pretty unbelievable to watch and to just imagine how they have lasted this long without running into another boat or dock!!! The whole backing up did pulling forward is just ridiculous and to turn your trailer into a submarine is just killing me!!!! What’s wrong with these ladies????? Holy Shit!!!!!

I’m crooked, my head Good enough after you said it 🤣

Here’s a million dollar idea. A retractable extension on the hitch. To give people an extra five feet or so.even just an extension to put on when launching and loading

you need to set up one of those Olympic gymnast scorekeeper things, so you can give each boater a score.

Most times the trailers are tofar in the water. Completly submerge the trailer so the boards are wet then pull out to expose about almost 1/2 the trailer. Pontoon slides on smooth.

To be honest I’d be just as bad. But they succeeded in the end. Well done.

I think they should consider bowling lessons.....LOL!

Just when you thought it was safe to go in too the water , you was wrong “ The Return of the JEEP “ 🦈 😂

Running a 2022 Scout 240 Dorado hardtop with 300 Yamaha electronic power steering. Got rid of the Hurricane deck boat. Difference like night and day!!!!

These two are a show all by themselves.

That's how the other half lives

Love your show brother. I hope I see you at shoreline or oriole.👊🏻🤘🏻

The drone is up😂😂😂

The trick is having a family member that can back a trailer into a launch. Take your kids and your woman for practice in a vacant lot. Will DEF help.

IF one puts their hand at the bottom of the vehicle steering wheel, then while backing, they may move their hand in the direction that they want the boat/trailer to go. Slow and steady wins the race. Once in straight, back trailer until top of fenders are at surface of water, but in every case... some part of the bunks should be above the water to ride up onto and center the boat without floating. I used to launch and retrieve in the Mississippi River, perpendicular to the current. That required crabbing onto the trailer at a controlled speed.

Great video.

First boat is cool ! Big engine, managable boat, two dogs...happy days

A slip of the clutch could launch it all. I wonder if making dinner is just as difficult??!

I know that it’s traditional to name your boat,but I think the Jeep ladies need to name their trailer Teabag.

Everyone remember, completely submerge the trailer or just stay home! 😆

That right there..... is the only time i could walked up to those ladies and said..... looks like you've done this once or twice.... and left them wondering if i was complimenting them or putting them down. 😂😂😂

I've been boating for 40 years and pontoons can be a pain but most people keep them in gear too long. Just kick into neutral and steer it, it works a lot better than staying under power. Love your videos and your commentating. 60% of boaters are idiots but they sure are fun to watch and make fun of. I always said you should have to take a trailer backing test before getting a boat and seems they may need a trailer loading test on top of that.

Hay Big Dan love the show 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I had a heart. Attack when the screen popped up 2000 years later

This is hillarious!

Guy on the left and right: unbelievable! Wow

I see this all day in Tampa

That’s me at the beginning in the TimberCreek duck boat. I remember seeing you out there, next time I’ll be sure to stop and say hello! Great video!

Road ediquit, courtesy 😂

The driver with the jeep reminds me of Peter Griffin from Family Guy, trying to launch that boat.

as a woman captain of 30 years I am embarrassed to watch these women

Yamaha FSH 195 Sport We love it.

FYI - it is the INTRAcoastal waterway NOT the INTERcoastal waterway. Intra means within and inter means among. The waterway is within the coast as apposed to among multiple coasts. Fun fact.

on that BOOM ( TIME STAMP 21.48 ) I'd be laughing it for airbags deployed

I think the struggles with pontoons is the same reason v hulls struggle. These Captains simply don't pay attention to where the motor is pointed before they hit the gas. If you watch the they'll correct then before centering the motor again they hit the gas and screw up what they just tried to fix. Rinse, repeat.

the duck boat motors are just lawn mower engines bolted to a lower unit

Hi mate that's one thing you don't see much here in Australia is pontoon boats i never thought of putting a motor on my lounge room. and taking it for a spin on the water regards Terry in Australia 😂

Credit to the two ladies, they Don't give up, they kept on trying, and trying. Given time and a gentle word in the ear they may even get to be Ok at boating..

While in the Army, from which I retired, I was the battalion master driver/trainer at Ft. Hood, Germany, Ft. Campbell and at Camp Casey, Korea. In one capacity, I had to teach “knuckleheads” how to drive different sized of military vehicles. Watching these boats instantly brought me back to being on active duty. Trying to teach females and a helluva lot of male soldiers as well how to drive in reverse with trailers. Many could not pass but, our LTC always said they were mission essential and had to be certified. I did it and many pieces of equipment was ruined. One E6 female dragged a genset trailer, which she left the handbrake engaged, for over 60 miles and fused the brakes to the axle and melted everything under the trailer…was all dirt roads…can’t imagine on pavement. But, she was one the LTC forced me to pass. These boaters are reminiscent of those days…for over a decade. “This side toward enemy”…meant $hit to them. 🫤🤭

I see this was at the wharf… I need to visit there and watch them with my own eyes lol

Pontoon Boats are really difficult in the wind & most of the older ones have poorly designed trailers....lmao, most didn't have guides either but that's starting to change. No guides, any wind, & lack of practice = You'll make High Marks on de Big Dan Show !! Ya'll come on down

This is too much fun. We have a 2005 Rinker Captiva 192. Middle Tn.

I have NEVER EVER EVER launced or loaded a boat where someone had to get in the damn water....

10:20 i grew up with boats and jetskis i can vouch

hey dan im 16 running a costom boat i built its a 16ft gheenoe style skiff with a 2023 suzuki 25 love the content keep up the great work

I own a 22’ sun tracker tritoon and fish high mountain lakes in the Rockies. Gorgeous out here.

Send a drone as have a laugh. Dean 🇬🇧 😂😂😂

Maybe convert your boat from a steering wheel to 2 handles, like a zero turn mower.

Hey Dan & fam! Looks a great old sunny summer day there for you all again. Thanks for the great entertainment (sorry to hear about the little puppy), Jan, England
