The wife who can't drive the boat or the truck should keep quiet.

Attitude is everything! If you get out of the truck with an attitude like that, I dont care about the misunderstanding anymore. I wont move for you either.

Dude slammed his truck down the ramp and started the argument before even explaining what was going on..... Pretty sure that would instantly piss anyone off so.... I see how this happend

I'm no expert boater but the guy with the boat was already at the dock and off his boat before the other guy came backing in with his truck. It seems clear to me that the guy with the oversized truck was just itching for a fight to stoke his oversized ego.

If the guy with the truck was nicer to start with, this would have probably been avoided.

The guy with the truck needs to be educated on the purpose of the courtesy dock. It’s there for loading and unloading when not needing a ramp. Imagine the chaos if everyone did likewise. All the boats jockeying to get to the one courtesy dock and a bunch of empty ramps with invisible placeholders. The guy with the boat could have easily moved, but that would simply encourage the other guy to repeat his mistake in the future. The boat guy did us all a favor. Also the trailer was in no position to retrieve a boat, so the guy would have to move it anyway.

Boat was at the dock before the truck even began to back up, boats dock. Second, it's so much easier to move the truck to the ramp to the left than the boat.

Guy in the truck was wrong. In his logic there'd be a line of boats waiting to get on the courtesy dock leaving most of the lanes open. 95% of the ramps I've been at don't even have a courtesy dock. Also, his wife is gonna get his ass kicked one of these days

Truck dude and his shrill harpy wife started it by backing down into a taken dock and acting like they own the place. Boat dude *could* have moved but after being attacked like that, why should he give way?

This was all timing. Truck was the aggressor backing down on the boat. Probably should have waited or had his wife stand at the dock communicating their intentions. Both point of views are valid but the truck chose the harder route. Expecting that dock to remain empty is a fools errand. End of day shenanigans... can ruin a completely awesome day.

Got to love all the "guy should have just moved his boat" . But the impatient guy with the over bearing wife, expensive truck and one of those crappy wake board boats gets the free pass for being the biggest asshole on earth? That's not how ramp works, mister I'm big and impatient should never have started the whole thing.

The guy that tied off his boat before the trailer showing up was in the right.

The dude in the white truck was pure dee wrong! WTF was he doing backing down the ramp into someone else's boat? Yup, He was just looking for a fight and then his sawed off wife sat up there running off at the mouth just trying to escalate the situation. Chad and Karen 100%!

The guy who backed his truck in front of the boat that was already tied off was in the wrong, ABSOLUTELY!!! If you are going to use the courtesy slip then back your truck up in an empty slip not one that already has a boat tied off. He just didn't want to wait for an open spot to back into. He has no clue. Idiocy at it's finest.

Blue shirt, over compensating with that truck guy doesn’t understand ramp procedure and etiquette. The courtesy dock isn’t for holding a ramp open while you go and get your truck. It’s for loading and unloading passengers and gear. What if there wasn’t a line of boats waiting and someone saw an open dock. Are they to guess that it’s reserved for someone else whose boat is four docks over on the courtesy dock? It’s pretty dang simple and it eliminates all issues. You find an open ramp, pull your boat in, go get your trailer and back it into that same spot. No one else pulling their boat in will use the same space so there will never be an instance where someone backs down a trailer and blocks it. The boat guy moving would only reinforce the truck guys behavior. Ps. If your shrew wife can’t drive the boat or back the trailer down then she needs to stfu.

Team Boat Guy.

Empty dock = fair game ! white truck guy looks like the type to break check you as well !

Truck woman is the absolute most Karen Karen of all time.

Proud of my man in the red shorts!! He was in the right. Who backs down a trailer when a boat is already tied up to the dock.

the boat was parked at that ramp before the trailer even circled around to go there. its the boat priority 100%.

The boat had priority on the dock spot , if she couldn’t back it down than he should have tied up the boat at the dock and than got his truck .

You don't back down a ramp with your trailer when there's a boat already there! The guy in the truck is 100% wrong!

The dude in the white truck came with the wrong attitude. The guy in the boat already docked, did well. He stood his ground. Say no to bullies!! The dude in the white truck might be a New Yorker, thinking he can run over everyone.

The guy tied to the dock was right, the guy in the truck should have picked an open slot

That was painful to watch. Guy with truck should have waited for an open dock when it’s that busy. Greatest show on Earth!

You don't bring you trailer to the dock if your boat isn't there, even if it's floating nearby

I understand that man's need to overcompensate with his oversized Tonka truck and shitty attitude. Having a banshee as a wife must be physically and mentally draining.

Whoever is at the dock first should be considered in the right. Period !! PS. Trailer jock needs to learn some ettiquet.

Big truck, little...(you figure it out)

The boat on the dock was definitely in the right. When you get out of the truck screaming expect no help.

The white truck is an idiot you don't just put your trailer in the water if someone is already docked getting ready to leave. You wait for a empty dock then put your trailer in. So what you used a courtesy dock that dock is for hanging out if you're not going in or out or just waiting to pick up someone. Choose your dock when you come in and get your trailer is how its done. Both the guy in white truck and his lady need to be educated on how to use the ramps.

Guy who backed down caused issue with attitude. If he hadn't, the dock right next to them was immediately open and the guy in the red could've simply slid over with current helping him. Attitude caused the issue. Guy backing down in front of him was the initial instigator in my mind.

Boat was first. Captain should had just busted out lunch, I would had!

Empty slip is first come first serve. Guy in the fancy big truck thinks he owns the place. He could’ve docked in a slip like everyone else.

Why the hell would you back down a ramp where someone just docked their boat and just expect them to leave? 0:13 You can clearly see their are going for the dock. That lady was on the dock with ropes while the truck guy was still waiting for the people BEFORE them to pull out. Are you kidding me? The truck guy was 100% in the wrong here.

the most common practice is pull your boat up to the ramp then get your trailer. it probably gets difficult when you have heavy traffic like this place. I assume walking to your vehicle could take extra time that could factor in as well

Boat that was on the dock has the right of way. The truck and trailer were way late to that ramp. Now that being said, both could have resolved this faster and easier.

Guy in the white truck was wrong dude that's boat was tied to the dock definitely had the right away

Nothing like a relaxing day of boating.

So if everyone adopts truck guy's new Boyton procedure, there will be a line of 30 boats waiting to dock at the courtesy ramp, while all of the other docks are empty. And if truck guy is right, why have any docks there besides the courtesy dock? It's almost as if the docks were designed to....dock at

Boat docked before truck was backing up…truck was wrong…courtesy dock is not functional for just loading/unloading more for picking up/loading passengers

Ok I dont know the etiquette in miami but the courtesy docks near me are for on the water preparations (load the boat, fill ballast tanks, step a mast, etc). You do not claim any right to a lane until you are in it. From my perspective the boat was in the right.

The good answer is the guy on the dock is right! Courtesy docks aren’t for reserving space on the ramp!

if your boat is at the dock.. it's yours. get your boat to the dock before you get the truck

Boat already at the dock had the right. The Karen yelling who obviously can't drive the boat or the truck is annoying and useless. If she could drive either this would not have happened,

The way I see it possession is 9/10 ths of the law if your boat is not at the dock for removal your holding up progress it is easier to move your vehicle than your vessel and the truck should move. The guy in the truck should have waited for an open dock and parked his boat there then got his truck like everyone else does it so there is no question to who has dock/ramp rights.

Either a boat or a trailer can hold a spot at the ramp whoever is their 1st So in this case the boat was there occupying the slip first the truck should have picked an empty slip to back down not an occupied one.

Bronco, you're the king of boat videos!

Dude in the blue shirt started this whole thing coming down there like it was his own personal dock.. so now the guys tied up on the dock have to flex on his ass outta spite or they get there man card revoked

The guy in the truck was most definitely in the wrong.. I'd had layed down in my boat n took a nap

Guy in the boat was definitely in the right.

The guy in the boat was right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the the guy with the truck should have pulled his boat up to the ramp then went for his truck.he’s either by his self or who ever he’s with can’t drive boat or truck

White truck guy was wrong.

Boating looks so much fun and relaxing...

Here in MN the truck/trailer dictates the launch/pickup order. But the launches here are a much different layout, you have to get in line to get to the ramp, not as much of free-for-all that these ramps are. So if you're landing the boat you either have to beach it/tie it up somewhere out of the way, or have 2 people that can drive the boat. Whoever is going to drive the truck goes and gets in line, when your turn comes up you pick a ramp, then go retrieve your boat. Tying it to a dock, blocking the lane, while you go get your truck is a huge no-no. So up here, the guy in the boat is in the wrong. The etiquette down there appears to be different, though. It seems to be that whoever is at the ramp first wins, but there appears to be a wild definition of "at the ramp". Is having lined up the truck "at the ramp"? Or does it have to have wheels in the water? Same with the boat, do you just have to be next to it? Or do you need to be tied up to have "claimed" it?

If I was the guy in the boat I would have gone up and got my trailer and put it in the slot next to it. The impatient guy with the big truck could just wait until I got moved.

Blue shirt stormed off like a prick, acting like he owns the joint. That was the first mistake. Second mistake was that he was in the wrong! Lol

Another nice, relaxing day boating.

Nothing like a nice peaceful day on the water with the Mrs.

The guy with the truck should have pulled his boat to a dock spot and then gone and got his truck.

This was 100% an ego trip of the white truck driver. He's got the fancy truck, the fancy trailer, and the fancy boat. He immediately tried to force the other boater off the slot because he clearly felt it was HIS spot, when he didn't even have his wife stand there to hold it. Honestly, I can't blame the red shorts dude, when someone out of the blue starts yelling and spewing hate at you, I'd not back down either. Allowing a bully to get their way is not being the bigger man, it only proves to the bully that their behavior gets them their way. So props Red shorts, you stood up to the bully, and didn't let him force you into compliance.

You have to put the boat in slip before you go get trailer.

Busy days boat has the right of way. Park the boat get your truck. If it’s a light day get the truck I guess. But curtesy docks arnt everywhere and doesn’t save a dock space for you.

I side with the outboard guys. Were at the dock first. Courtesy dock doesn’t count. Boat claims the spot. Boat was in position before trailer came down. Either cap could have made it easier though. Slip on left was open multiple times. Pride is hard to swallow.

Where were the ramp police during this standoff? On such a busy day you would think they would have a presence.

A courtesy dock is for docking temporarily in a circumstance where you are still boating and not necessarily retrieving as not to tie up a lane when it's busy. But that is really beside the point. The guy with the truck was too late to claim the spot! That's how it works at a public ramp! First come first served. It's just that simple.

Great commentary keep up this content👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤭

clearly the blue boatowner who backed down his rig well after the couple had already docked and tied off, was wrong

Hope the guy in the dually truck sees this video and the comments and learns from it.

I guess we should be thankful that at least they are speaking English. Rare commodity in south Florida.

The very fact that this channel exists to film the chaos in the states makes me thankful that I live in Australia. Yes we don’t have dock fights hahaha

The boat was there first. It is his spot. If the guy in the truck would have acted normal he would have had a shot at getting the boat to move. I wouldn't have moved my boat either with someone telling me to move my boat and I was in the right.

boat at dock has righht to that landing

"I gOt ThE BiGgEsT TrUcK!" Lol but ended up having to move. Bet he was fun to talk to on the ride home.

The man that pulled his boat along the dock

Teach your Old Lady to back the thing down the ramp, it's not that hard.

The guy who docked his boat when there was no other boat there, especially when there was no truck there. I bet the guy could not get a clear dock, so he parked at the courtesy dock, which is for loading and unloading in the first place, figured he could jump a dock with his truck and every one would cower to hollering. The boat stood his ground and good on him. But yes, he could have just piloted over a dock.....but then he would have just enabled the bully

40 years of boating the man in the truck is in the right

Here in California boats are supposed to stay out of the way of trailering boats. Basically you can’t park your boat on the dock in a spot where your blocking someone with a trailer in the water from getting their boat on. It’s crazy how all these people tie up before trailering. Usually you drop off the driver and stay OFF the docks until your trailer shows up. When you see your trailer show up then proceed to trailer it. You can’t just tie up for half an hour waiting for your trailer blocking other ready boaters. If your alone or have no competent drivers tie up out of the way and bring your boat in once your trailer is in place. The trailer has priority over a docked boat. It’s a boat launch not a marina.

great the guy in the truck was in a " curtesy " dock ....but it does not say what dock he has to back down ... the guy in the boat was right ...he just pulled up on a open dock ....he has no idea what the guy in the truck was doing and what boat was were ...the guy in the truck should have docked another dock .....but he was thinking his shit does not stink

The right attitude goes a long ways. I would have moved for the dude if he had gotten out of his truck and talked with respect. All bets are off if you let your wife / girlfriend start yapping away. 😆

The guy who arrived at the dock first with his boat had priority as far as I know. That is the protocol at every boat ramp I have used over the years.

A KAREN of the Boat Ramp!

Shrill wifey should learn to back down a trailer.

The boat was at the boat dock first. End of story.

finally a fun filled episode

Riveting, simply riveting!

Truck guy and trashy lady completely in the wrong. Boat was established at dock before he was anywhere around. They also need to learn what a courtesy dock is really for.

I think the guy in the truck had no biz blocking the guy, there were other open ramps and he can't just assume that's his ramp trip use

I've been through that myself. About 15 boats waiting at a double ramp. A guy bypassed everbody by pulling into a slip and one guy got off and went for the truck. Backed down the ramp just as we were pulling to the dock and all hell broke loose.

The courtesy dock is for unloading and loading a boat. Not for jumping ahead of the line of boats waiting to get out!

Dude with the truck could have picked any ramp, he picked one that had a boat tied up to it. If he had chosen a different ramp with a different boat tied up, would it have been any different. Boat was at the dock and claimed it first

"Common" sense lost this one. Dude in the big truck let his truck boost his ego.

So what if the guy in the white truck pulls up and there are no empty ramps (boats tied up) and they are in line in back of him? Boats tied to docks do not secure the ramp. The trailer does. The line will never move otherwise. This is especially important at smaller 1-3 ramps.

first good morning Guru Bronco lol

The guy dock first have no reason to back down to the fat guy with the truck.

I'm no dock etiquette expert, but anyone who drives some ridiculous compensator truck, jumps out with a massive beer gut and immediately starts yelling is in the wrong. He's like the type that rear ends someone at a stop light and then starts screaming at them for not getting out of his way. Guessing a heart attack is just around the corner for that guy.

I am a professional boater, the general rule is that the first vehicle/vessel in position has right of way, however if both get into position at the same time the boat has right of way because it takes longer to move out of the way! The truck was massively in the wrong!

I had something similar happen this year. I parked at a courtesy dock as to not block anyone, because I had a few minute walk to get my vehicle. When I got to the ramp and backed down, someone pulled in while I was getting my boat. We didn't argue... but I honestly don't know if I was in the wrong here. That was the last time I tried to park off to the side - I hate blocking the ramp while I get my vehicle but don't know what the right thing to do is.
