For the limited time that you were filming I can't believe the chaos. This launch ramp went right to the top of my list of places to never launch.

Rule of thumb for boaters: Unloading and loading your boat can be very easy... to unload remove all straps and the front cable, (THIS IS NOT FOR ROLLER TRAILERS) tie a (dock) line (10' to 15' in length) to the side cleat on the dock side and have your partner walk beside you and onto the dock while you back the boat into the water. Only back far enough to start floating the boat, then hit your brakes and the boat should float free. Have your partner tie off the boat to the dock. Add more dock lines as needed. **VERY IMPORTANT** IF YOU HAVE A ROLLER TRAILER (ROLLERS ON YOUR TRAILER) KEEP THE FRONT CABLE ATTACHED OR YOUR BOAT MAY ROLL OFF THE TRAILER WHILE YOU ARE BACKING DOWN THE RAMP! Loading your boat, back your trailer into the water leaving the boat trailer fenders out off the water, most folks back too far into the water, (if your fenders are under water you are too far) causing all kinds of problems. Simply drive your boat onto the trailer, it will usually self-correct when it slides up the bunks, if you are slightly off center. You may have to goose it slightly to get it all the way on the trailer. Have your partner connect the cable to the front and winch it tight, now pull the boat and trailer out of the water. When docking your boat attach lines fore and aft (before reaching the dock), approach slightly bow in (45 degree angle or less) and secure a line from the bow (front of the boat) to a dock cleat and put engine in reverse, keeping it at idle and turn the wheel towards the dock, it will pull the stern back into the dock, holding it there while you tie up the stern line to a dock cleat.

OMG, THE ENTIRE VIDEO WAS FULL OF BOATERS THAT SHOULDNT HAVE BOATS!

This place is like The Special Olympics of boat launching and hauling out.

Tahoe looked like a rhodes scholar compared to the rest. he docked perfectly. Also, I have never seen such a big boat at a ramp - get a slip!

My husband would have already been throwing fists at that big boat sitting in the middle of the ramp. How disrespectful

Very entertaining video. The guy with the canoe was out of the water at 15 minute mark. Some of these "captains" should trade in their boats for a canoe or stay home and watch boating instructional videos.

The dock blockers expect everyone to wait while their truck and trailer makes it through the line. The time to dock your boat is when your truck/trailer is ready to load

With reference to the Tahoe boat had I known 240 years ago today I would have picked my own cotton! That guy is dangerous!

Love just LOVE your show man.. 👍👍👍

Honestly BEST SHOW EVER!!!! AS a boater for over 45 years I can tell you this, not one of them understand how to put a trailer in the water on a steep ramp, or handle a boat. OBVIOUSLY COVID stimulus checks were good....look at all those new boats getting damaged....lol....Put the fender out, tie a line, hook your chain on the bow of the boat to your trailer.......nope.....yap what a sh&t show....Ohhh look at me I have a boat....ya I am looking and everyone of them is a navigational hazard! Ask them where their starboard is, or what does Red right return mean, the flashes on a lighthouse signify, how to tie a dock line....won't know! The beauty is love to see them in a storm, yap it may go fast, but they are so screwed if a storm comes in or even a little wind....so I am going to ask you please, please film when a storm hits...you know beautiful day gone bad...then ping me....I've got to see that one......its going to be a classic...So who am I, I grew up on the ocean / Cape Cod Mass and have seen it all and been it too....We have tides, wind, waves, currents, shifting sand bars, fog, etc...its all good if you know what to do....

I live close to this marina and have had the “pleasure “ of being yelled at by impatient people, under the influence of adult beverages, while I attempted to load my boat on the trailer. They are insane. I eventually rented a slip at another marina. What a nightmare!

That’s gotta be Fn DeLand out at the whitehair bridge. Holy shit what a soup sandwich!!

I have never seen so many bad boaters in one spot

The guy in the Tahoe that's coming in hot and jockeying around. Guns forward and then hits reverse and sets it right at the dock. Luck?

This was a better than average day. Waay better than average

tahoe has the trailer too far down the main bunks should be out the water about two inches plus. you use the bow winch and some engine to get her up flush.

There should be a test you must pass showing you have the skills to own a boat

Should be able to sell tickets to this circus!

Only thing missing at this ramp is the G-strings. Clearly this is how the other half boats.

I always launch real real early like 5 am then we hit the sandbar and cook breakfast 😋 then we enjoy our nice long 12 hour day out on the 💧 water then after lunch and dinner we go to the ramp around 8 pm and we gone,why people would want to deal with that traffic in the middle of the day was always a dumb idea we always stayed far away from ,😆 lol

I don't know much about boats, so I would fit in over there.

I was at a small lake but pretty deep so larger boats can go in it. The ramp is steep and short and the dock is short. One day I'm getting my boat out of the water an 18' Lund and this guy pulls up on the dock next to me in a beautiful 24' CC. It was longer than the dock and when he put it on the trailer he couldn't get the boat all the way up the bunks. He sat there trying to throttle his way up and just kicking up the mud and silt sucking that crap right into that big beautiful new engine. He was a real stuck up a hole anyway in a big hurry. It's got to be good to have so much money you can afford to be stupid😂

Looks like all new boaters here

Buddy should have backed trailer further into the water and it would have went right on lol

I'm a little out of practice launching and retrieving a boat but I KNOW I'm not as bad / comical as these folks LOL and I've added guide poles to my trailer to make it basically a one-person operation

What a cluster screw.

Bro is this the Saint John's River Marina public ramp? Damn this looks exactly like it.

That guy on the yellow boat is an absolute clown.

What in the world is going on here on this day, its total chaos.

The guy in the yellow top would have a hard time in a 10ft aluminum boat, you need help, sell that boat get a yellow ducky for the bath tub.

Looks like there is a current there and the boats are having a hard time coming in to the docks?

The guy driving the Kia with blue boat left his winch in free spool instead of locking it.

I wonder if a bad day at the boat ramp is a precursor for folks moving out of Florida.

Why don’t they have tests for people who have boats to take , like they do with drivers on the road. They must pass an unloading and loading on a trailer test before they can get on the water.

Where the hell is Fred the croc?

Is this a Florida thing to do? To put most of the trailer under water such that when they bring in the boat it floats above the trailer swinging in the breeze?

wow, I bet if you can unload and load a boat smoothly on this ramp you would get all the ladies!

Why do ALL these people tie off to the dock and then go get the trailer? Most have several adults on them. Pull up to the dock, let someone off to go get the trailer, get out of the way until your trailer is on the ramp. Put your boat on the trailer and pull away. If you tie to the dock and then go get your trailer, you block the ramp and people can’t launch. They’ll sit at the top of the ramp and you won’t be able to put your trailer on the ramp.

Wonder how much money a day could be made just backing trailer up at 5 bucks a day. And faster too🤣

Those guys with the pale yellow and white boat need to stick to simple tasks like watching TV.

Step 1: make instructional video Step 2: get you tube channel cards made. Step 3: give them to everyone at this boat launch lol

I was never a fan of driving on to the trailer. I back the trailer in the water until the front of the bunks are just underwater then coast it on. I use the winch to crank it up and have marks on the strap that I use to set the tongue weight. I don't need guides. As long as the front of the boat puts a little weight on the bunks the rear settles in straight when I pull out.

He made it with the stern drive dragging.

Lots of special boaters on this day 😅

Don't they believe in mounting winches on their trailers? More entertainment than a circus.

Please folks, before going to the boat ramp practice your backing at an empty parking lot somewhere else.

This place is Gold

now that was a true "shit show"

Where is this boat launch located? So I never go there

That noise sounded like the trailer hitch. The trailer hitch ball is too small.

You don’t realize there’s a fast current there and it knocks the boat sideways ,

what are those tall "poles" sticking up on the boat next to the motor, thanks

The unexperienced always put the trailer too far under water.

Guy in the blue boat that the boat came back off the trailer didn't lock his wrench

Blue boat, use your safety bow chain.

most times rule of thumb is trailer fender out of the water a few inches easy peasy

Is this boat ramp entrance for a lake or ocean ?

i have a short temper therefore i would never visit a ramp like this!

Think slim forgot something

If these guys can afford that boat why not have a slip

Docks at the ramp are stupid, docks should be away from the ramp.

Guy with the regal must own the ramp. Yea , that's sarcasm

Omg, at 17:10 I thought the dock was gonna sink..

Some are not supposed to be on the water with a boat n trailer.

Guy with the twins - what a clown - back the trailer down a couple more feet! Total disregard for others. Ban him from the boat ramp!!

Geez! I'd hate to be a boatie in America, such incompetence.

If ya can’t trailer it get rid of it, big boat dude was selfish and entitled taking that long then blocking the other guy in and prop washing him almost off the dock. He’d get his ass kicked up here where I live.

I gotta say most of these folks couldn't hang at our boat ramp at the lake. This looks like a very easy on easy off boat ramp and these people seem clueless and very slow

some don't get the concept of rear steer

Floating trailer?

It's not front and back. It's bow and stern, port or starboard, aft, helm, so on. Come on use the appropriate words for this. :)

People are stupid

Boats too loud. Can't here you.

Idiots that don t need boats

are these people too lazy to hook the damn boat up and use the crank to trailer the boat. When did it become the norm to have to drive the boat ALL THE WAY onto the trailer? All these idiot racing their engines at a launch just causes issues for everyone else because of the wake they create.

clickbait

Americans

Tell ya what, harassing, bullying another boater at the ramp will get me calling the harbor patrol, sheriff, a pic of your boat tags, you and there will be words for sure on it. I'll be happy to press charges if you can't chill for 15 minutes and wait your turn if I'm not just screwing around and being a moron launching/retrieving my own boat. No one knows what someone else is waiting on. I feel for the lady on the jet ski. Be nice people. You have to figure a nice day is going to invite a lot of people out and it's gonna be necessary for everyone to work together. No one is special.
