We all start out as beginners, maybe put the phone down and give the folks some pointers.

Boat loading tip: When backing the trailer in, only put 2/3 of the bunks into the water so you can see 1/3 out of the water. Drive or pull the boat close enough (about halfway) up the trailer. Hook the winch on and crank the boat up. By doing this, the boat will center itself between the bunks and not float around. I find this the fastest and easiest way. Hope it helps.

He's a beginner, give him a brake. You had to learn also, maybe he had nobody to teach him. Why did you go help him by teaching him boat ramp etiquette instead of trying make fun of him.

That was extremely nice of the man to help out we all need it from time to time

Make what up? He got it, was carefull, obviously a beginner, did damn good in my opinion. Nobody does it quickly and perfectly in the beginning

Gotta say, I've never seen someone get tired of watching and jump in the water to help. Lord have mercy.

Within 5 seconds I knew they needed some guidance. A good way to talk him nicely mightve been. "Hey, how are yall doing? Did yall catch anything? After he responds politely say, hey the piers on the side of the launch are really good places to put your boat. It would probably be easier for your wife to get out right there too. Concrete will be rough on that fiberglass wherebits rubbing..The Cletes on the piers are to tie your boat too. If you do that you can keep your motor running if you want and then back your trailer down and put your boat on it. Yall have a real nice boat. You need some help getting it on the trailer or anything.

Gee, how much easier would that have been if that big lady had gotten off the boat.....😂

That poor bass boat

As my mother would say, "If you have nothing good to say, then say nothing."

And just just think ...they drive automobiles too😅😂....the same way

I'm a 3rd generation commercial fisherman. I've spent many years on in Kentucky on Lake Barkley and Ky lakes. Man I've seen and met some interesting humans that did NOT belong on the water. Love your channel

That's a BIGGGGGGGGG WOMAN in that boat!!

The best comedy show is a lawn chair and a cooler of beer and sit at a boat launch.

They need to sell their boats. They don’t need to be on the water.

"Bless their hearts"

Hearing the lower unit on that Javelin hit the concrete hurt my soul. The brain wasnt braining lol

Have never figured out why people put the whole trailer in the water

Bottom of his boat looks like the surface of the ramp. I’m sure.

Contrary to popular belief that's actually good for the bottom. running it up on the ramp gives you more grip in those fast turns.

Have you ever thought about creating the Paige and Kevin School of Boat Launching, Recovery, and Dock Etiquette? You’d be rich!

True the dude may have been raised in the city his whole life, but at least he's getting out there and trying. He'll learn in time. As a ole duck hunter that's use to launching in low or no light scenario's to breezing through in day light. I have to remind myself not all people have the time or experience...........patients.

Never be on the ramp for more than 3 minutes..either loading or unloading 😂

I would have lost it waiting on that mess

This is exactly why I refuse to buy a used boat. 🤦‍♂️

I did better docking my grandpa's boat at 8yrs old, with him yelling at me the whole time 😂

Some folks have no business with a boat ZERO !! they cant drive a car worth damn either!!

Yup most fun to watch boat ramps. Been a boater all my life. I quit boating 10 years ago, couldn't take other boaters at the ramp.

We used to ski off boat ramps. Sitting on the edge with a slalom ski. In-gear. Thumbs up. Go. Thumbs up. Used to ski back to the ramp as well. Honestly, I thought that's why the ramps were built.

Boy, Ladies...those McDonald's drive thru's sure are a modern convenience.... ain't they.....? #Sheeeeeeet

Yeah I agree, what is dumber? The guy learning to moor and load his craft or the guy on the phone with nothing better to do?

I watched a guy who had a gigantic boat (fancy about 200,000) boat trying to put it in the water.We asked him several times if he needed help and he acted like he resented us asking . So we watched for over an hour as he tried to get this boat in,he finally did it, got the boat in the water when it floated off his trailer as his truck sank into the water as well. He did an excellent job of getting the truck and the boat into the water,best I've ever seen.

This footage is sleepy compared to what regularly occurs at boat ramps in The Keys! Papa Joe’s restaurant was the best for viewing boat ramp madness, with tables on the porch overlooking the ramp (and excellent seafood besides). The “Cuban boat launch” method is a perennial favorite often seen. No shortage of entertainment value.. always a good show!

Although the Javelin isn't new, I wonder if it and boating in general are new to the "operator". That whole escapade was painful, and teeth grinding, to watch, and the Ranger driver in the second half wasn't much better. Some days the hits just keep coming.

Surprised if the blades on the prop are intact.

I'm glad I had a dad to teach me how back a boat trailer, load and unload. Not everyone is as fortunate. A simple class, practice after watching a few KZfaq videos, or get an experienced friend to help you out will go a long way to improvment.

i think i’d probably watch some youtube videos before taking my boat out. years ago i watched someone with me take the boat in and out of the water. learned a lot by keeping my mouth shut and and watched without question

big moma weighted the boat down.....lol

Boat Landing License or use the Boat Ramp Pilot. I think if a guy showed up with a T-Shirt reading Official Boat Landing Pilot, $3. He would make $2500 a week just standing on the dock flat footed, mouth shut, just responding to waves to 'take it from here'. I thought the first lady was going to sink the truck 45 feet out.

He’d have more freeboard if he’d remove the anchor. 🤷‍♂️

That was rough.. but it is a hell of a good relationship test, if they are a couple. Patience is good when you are that green. Obviously landlubbers. Another glass is half full… they ain’t on a couch. 🛋️

Omg this couple is in trouble from the bubble😅

Well that was painful 😮

I think I met that guy at the ramp today. Sometimes I wonder how they make it to the lake and back home safe🤷🏼‍♂️

Just wonder what the fiberglass on the bottom looks like from bouncing on the concrete. Just Damn!

Turn the fuel on THEN crank the starter. Oops, forgot I pulled the dead man switch.

I couldn't imagine watching someone struggle and not offering to help but instead record them bcz making content was more important.

"Paige At The Boat Ramp" should be changed to "Karen At The Boat Ramp". None of the people with boats in this video are doing anything wrong.

bunk guides are amazing things...lol

lol 😂 I was lucky enough to be taught and I learned people are waiting I’ve about seen fights over people taking to long 😂

I was blessed to have a dad that showed me how to load a boat and back a trailer. Miss you dad 😢

I know us fisherman get up early, but he must have left his brain at home.

The second vid was just somebody who hasent driven a boat much and couldnt get the straight shot onto the trailer, at least they didnt floor it into the back of the truck or try pulling it out sidewards…. Give em a break..

This is why i won't go near a boat ramp on the weekend

Crunch crunch crunch. 😂😂😂

jeese, I would hate to be in line behind that first guy. If I take more than 72 seconds to load or launch I feel bad.

What did he do backing up the trailer into the water??😂😂😂😂😂

Paint on the prop? no problem scuff it off, crack in the hull fill it in with toothpaste, mooring line too long chop it off, hard to dock pull the drain plug....put down my phone....lol ...no way I'm not a scuba or boating instructor...!!!! Note to novice boaters, boats don't handle like cars and if you own a boat be sure to know or be a mechanic!

I think, by leaving his wife Gertha in the boat mighta actually helped.🤗

You think the flotation vest she has on will float her?

He may not be a smart man, but he knows what love is.

Before cell phones, there would have been a group of people standing at the top of the ramp yelling at him for being too stupid to own a boat!

😂 People that want a boat, but dont really know how to use them proper. They will learn better after a while.

I've had trouble when it was really windy or the flow of water was fast. We usually have three people in a boat so it's not too bad

Judging by the amount of boats flying by I would be fishing at night

who has a boat trailer with no side guides on it, pure ////////////

Been at a marina all my adult life. These guys are tame compared to some I’ve seen.

The boat ramp is a comical site. Every year. People go out and buy a boat no nothing about it. It could get you killed. I seen a man and his family in a million dollar boat here in Florida anchor in a inlet, water rushing in from the gulf, throw his kid in the water. The boy was rushing with the tide. His dad jumped in caught up with him could not get back. Told his wife to throw him a line. She throws the entire rope in the water. I went over got them on my boat, brought them to their boat. Told them never swim in a inlet.

Ed: So Bob, what sort of boat would you say that is? Bob: Jet. Deffinitely. Ed: Oh, I think you might be wrong on this one Bob, that Merc clearly was a prop jobbie. Bob: Nope, jet. Definitely jet. Id-jet to be precice. Ed: ....you know something Bob? Sometimes you're just a surly, mean old man. Bob: Maybe, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

next time I want to take a nap I'll watch this video.

People think boats operate like cars.

It's like Demolition Derby, but with one guy and a boat.

I find new ways to make it harder then it needs to be, watching them load.😀

Guess they didn't know how to use the winch ????

Where is the winch? It should be on the trailer already!!!! That little string he was using was a joke

You found an awesome ramp!

The first and main thing is if you can’t back a trailer you have no business owning a boat. And just because your vehicle can pull your boat doesn’t mean you should be using it to pull a boat. You must be able to stop it as well.

Well, that was different.. As always the struggle continues..

Don’t have patience for people that are “slow” learners. Practice on your own time and not at the expense of others.

Agree give the guy a hand

Poor guy. No one has taught him what to do I suppose.

Me when im by myself i backup to the edge of the water then i unplug the trailer lights an unstrap the boat from the trailer unhook the winch off the front an i tie the bow rope to the trailer around the middle someplace so when i back in the water and the boat float up off the trailer it doesnt drift away on me i get out go untie the rope pull the boat to shore or the dock an go park when i come back to pull the boat out i just back stand on the trailer with the bow rope sometimes il just stand in water push the out line it up at the back pull the boat onto the trailer as far as i can hook up winch crank er up rest of the way oh i forgot to mention make sure you put the drain plug back in before launching lol

In the second one he needed to be told to approach off set from driver side not centered on trailer, the cross wind is pushing him away from his trailer side ways but no one seems to care to tell him this to save him and then time of waiting

And they drive a car wow

This is why we can't have nice things.

Well, there's 12 mins of my life I won't get back...

This would have drove me nuts. I would have gotten the water and taught everyone how to do that correctly.

Some people need VALET docking

Hmmm - let's take a 6 pack down to the ramp and watch the circus. Both these boaters were not beginners. And, they both had drive on trailers, so not sure what the real issue is here.

#1 tip for using boat ramps. Stay away from them on the weekends!

Welp he does have a life jacket on

Talking about CLICK BAIT…. That’s 12:09 I won’t get back. I kept waiting for something crazy to happen, nope just inexperienced boaters trying to trailer their boats! But I was on the edge of my seat! 😂😂😂

This was hard to watch, I meaaaannn....wow

Well how about putting the camera down and helping this guy and his wife.

Ahh glitter boats. The jets ski of the boat world. I would put money on every time he puts it in gear it’s a hole shot thinking he is on the Bassmaster Classic only 3oz down from 1st place. I think that comes in the owners manual of those aquatic menaces.

We built that javelin bass boat in the beginning its a shame to see it on the ramp like that😮

Two things jumped out at me in this video. One, I wouldn't be too hard on this guy. Don't know where this is, but from the hulls I see it's probably an inland lake or river where most of these people only spend a few months of the year on the water. First time I docked by myself wasn't pretty I'm sure. And at least he was careful and mindful of his surroundings. I've seen much worse. And two, I know the guy helping had the very best of intentions, but jumping into the water on the lee side of a boat attempting to dock is never a good idea. Especially when there's a novice skipper at the helm. That flag is not there for decoration.

You really got to be kidding me buddy. Some one give him some help Amen. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻

MAYBE THE ENGINE HAS A CHOKE OR THEY FORGOT TO PUMP THR PRIMER BALL?

There are people in this world who should not be operating boats
