@@vicb.2708 - I'm not sure whether they still do this, but you used to be able to get your motor set up to run best at a different altitude. Chevy had a system where they ran the engine on propane to make the adjustments. I moved from 500 ft above sea level to West Texas at 5000 ft, and my car had about twenty horsepower at that altitude and got worse as you went higher. Setting up for sea level instead of high altitude could actually improve mileage and power.

With that last one, I think the commentator is a little blind, because the woman in blue had the line in her hand all the time, whilst the commentator was claiming otherwise. Perhaps the commentator just had a good night out, or was refreshing himself at a sandbar.
Dude, I don't know what you're seeing but both of the women had ropes in their hands if you can't see the rope notice that they both had their hands extended out in front of them, but I can see both the ropes in the video.
I am not sure about the US but in Queensland local government authorities or councils as we call them are responsible for regularly water blasting boat ramps at low tide. Not just a boat issue but a people safety issue.
I used to do a lot of water skiing on a estuary with a fair amount of current. When the wind picked up so we didn't want to ski anymore, we'd sit and nurse a couple of six packs at the ramp. The average "Skipper" has little regard for the effects that the wind and current are going to have on his boat. They want to bring it in like their parking a car! Speaking of which, the trailer "handling" was always fun to watch as well! I always thought if I was a divorce attorney, I'd probably set up shop right there at the ramp. Some of the screaming matches we witnessed were epic!
4 wheel drive at the top of ramp, back down, load and go.. Knowing that you are doing Everything to WORK FOR YOU.. My own style was that, plus sometimes a shovel full of Crusher dust spread out at back of wheels, roll back onto it.. Also standing on it, helps stop shoes from slipping.. Cheers..
It's awkward to reverse into, too, because you have to come in at an angle and then swing the car close to the gutter to straighten up. Not a lot of room to correct if you get it wrong. The other ramps you can reverse back on to straight.
I don't know why I watch these, if I was at the ramp I'd be pulling my hair out. If those poor bastards can't get the boat off the trailer I can't imagine them putting it back on.
Why doesn’t the city or county keep the boat ramps clean so it will definitely be much easier for the vehicles to pull out their boats that’s just not exceptable
Idk if it’s because it’s Florida, or because you have loosey goosey maritime law there, or because few pay attention to the laws, but boaters there are loco! 🤪
@@bobcosgrove3235 - We're talking about 4WD pickups here. They don't become eight wheel drives if you put duallies all the way around. Nobody says eight wheel drive about a semi, either. You have front and rear drive axles.
Dual wheels drop the friction coeffient because they are spreading the weight over a bigger area, dry clean pavement the difference is small but on a wet slick ramp it magnifies the problem The fact it needs to be explained to you is sad
@@Zzrdemon6633 - That's the common sense version, but it's not actually accurate. The force of static friction depends on the materials and the amount of force being applied between them. The area doesn't come into it. Example: Steel on concrete has a coefficient of static friction of about .9 If a 1,000 lb steel block is sitting on concrete it will take 900 pounds of force to move it. It doesn't matter if the block is one foot square or ten feet square. Duallies give a better chance for each side to have a slightly cleaner patch under one tire, which increases the coefficient of static friction and gives better traction.
Dude with the triples as soon as I saw the motors turn I knew he has no idea how to drive a boat, should be able to dock without even touching the wheel
So annoying to see the jet-ski just sitting there taking up a ramp space. It’s not a regular dock; it’s a boat LAUNCH. Why can nobody think about anybody but themselves? At least tie up on the *closed* side if you’re just hanging out. 🤦♂️
Im amazed that someone with 2+ motors cannot pivot a boat within its own length. Not only that the passengers with their leg out as the boat approaches the dock, Dumb. And I see this a lot, people riding in the boat while on the ramp, GTF out of the boat when on the ramp!
Finally a Florida boater who had enough truck to handle the size of the boat he had. 👍

I brought my Ram 3500 from Colorado. It works really well at the boat ramps.

He nailed that vehicle backup approach first try. Crushed it.
Ford driver has probably been the best on this channel... docked perfectly, trailered down perfectly 1st try, and got the boat out quickly....👌👌👍👍
Agreed. He got that large boat out faster than most with boats one third that size!
Amazing the things people entertain themselves with...
She had the line the whole time
Came here just for this comment
That's a sweet boat, pulled by a sweet truck!
With a sweet flag on the top too...

@@michaelhodges250 Both women were passing the rope between them woman with child had control of rope at 8:00 and 8:10
One rope. There's only one rope. They both end up holding different parts of the same single line coming from the boat.
Dude, she had the line clear as day the entire time.
That truck is a beast!
Thats a first.The right sized towing vehicle to match the boat and a driver who can reverse it.Much Respect.
I am not sure about the US but in Queensland local government authorities or councils as we call them are responsible for regularly water blasting boat ramps at low tide. Not just a boat issue but a people safety issue.
Love that little Pioneer at the end. I have the same boat. Well built and great fit and finish
I'm shocked this truck doesn't have 4WD Shift on the Fly that he's locking hubs manually is crazy. I love manual hubs for me though.
With the announcer getting excited and describing everything, it’s like watching a car race or the wide world of sports!

Guess you need to entertain us Alaskans about having such a butter cup ramps!
That's a whole lotta maneuvering to avoid just pulling forward and getting a better line. I guess he didn't want to admit he made a mistake?
I've been boating all my life and have never had to wait at a launch. The mayhem you have down there in the US seems nuts.
Just curious, is it against the rules for somebody to clean the debris from the ramp? 🧐
That's for wimps. My manly truck can handle it even if yours can't. Hold my beer and watch this.
Why would you handicap yourself by not putting it in 4WD from the get-go?
Can’t fix S

Hello! Miami Boat Ramps. Do you what brand of boat that big boat was? That's a nice boat.
7:14 Guy was backing down ramp with window closed!
I was thinking if my window didn't work I wouldn't be wasting time and money playing in the water
I bet that's not the same truck he owned the first time he pulled that boat out.
WIFE BE LIKE, THAT BIG OLE TRUCK AND IT CAN PULL THE BOAT OUT?....LOL
What?
You need bigger glasses. She had the line the whole time!
Someone with a tow strap & real 4X4 truck could clean house at $20 a pull at that ramp.
Somebody with a practice ramp could do even better! 😉
So, what am I missing? Was there something wrong with the last ramp on the right as we're looking at it?🤔
It's steep and narrow for jetskis and small boats.
It's awkward to reverse into, too, because you have to come in at an angle and then swing the car close to the gutter to straighten up. Not a lot of room to correct if you get it wrong. The other ramps you can reverse back on to straight.
6:13 "I don't see any lines in anyone's hand tho." This guy shows how blind he is quite often, but that was one of the worst.
yea she literally has the rope IN HER HAND holding the boat ... LOL ...
Snow chains layed on the ramp
You gotta know when to fold ‘em. 😂
What's with big-boat couple? They ACTUALLY used an initial midships cleat and line! So did the next boat. 😳🙂
Tilt those engines up before going up the ramp.
That bloke in the black suv needs a wider ramp 😂😂
my man thought the crew with the 39 foot boat with triple 300's was gonna pull up with a ford ranger that's a million dollar boat !
Great vid
Unless you got powah!!
They should install permanent ingress and egress trailer dock plates/rails to prevent vehicles from fall into the water
No boater here. Why aren't the ramps redesigned with less gradient than current angle? 🤔
Never been a fan of pontoons at boat ramps, to me they just get in the way , all you need is sand either side of the ramp to pull up ,so much easier
Why are they trying to hit the right side when they are clearly closed by the huge barriers at the top of the ramp?
I was trying to see what the flag said and I think it says Let's Go Brando? Who is Brando?
Initials LGB. Lesbian Gay Bisexual. Same as a rainbow flag.
Isn’t that supposed to be “lets go brandon” the taunt for joe biden?
Gotta give props to the guy. Nice boat, nice truck, nice reversing skills, *_and_* nice flag on that boat.
This is so much better with the sound turned off.
The lady on the dock is holding the rope
rich folks sho live good.
Why is half of all ramps blocked?
I don't know why I watch these, if I was at the ramp I'd be pulling my hair out. If those poor bastards can't get the boat off the trailer I can't imagine them putting it back on.
The guy that almost hit the ramp with his boat. How can you not see that?
First. Keep them coming Broncos,🎉
When you need ¼ mile to square up you are driving a big truck and a long trailer!
That Kodiak is actually a 6x6 with the dually's on the back.
Isn’t this the same boat ramp that has a croc/alligator swimming around & do these people know that???
she had the line for a long time, just need to look
Is there no one to clean the seaweed off the incline ramps? No workers of any sort?
Dude your trying to get drama out of something that isn't there.
*you're
Yhur'ee
Lol , we just brought our first boat! I hope this guy don't ever record us
Saw this video on another channel few days ago
Locking the hubs isn’t necessary to use 4WD. Locking hubs on a F350 stops a one wheel spin, aka differential.
I honestly don’t get it. I’ve been backing boats down some very long and very steep ramps since I was 14. It’s not that difficult!
Why doesn’t the city or county keep the boat ramps clean so it will definitely be much easier for the vehicles to pull out their boats that’s just not exceptable
Why is only one side of ramp open …don’t see any work being done to dock
Idk if it’s because it’s Florida, or because you have loosey goosey maritime law there, or because few pay attention to the laws, but boaters there are loco! 🤪
😂😂😂❤❤❤👍👍👍
I don't understand why there are boats and jet skiis siding along the area where boats are trying to load. Why don't they get out of the way?
DID I MISS IT??? I fell asleep.
i dont think i can give up all my logic skills and common sense for $$$ and look like a total fool in front of others.
Why so many outbourd motors on such a small boat .
SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER OWN A BOAT !!!
If the first guy was going to try to get out in two-wheel drive, his wife should have been in the very back of the truck, not in the boat!
Nothing worse than a dock lizard thats 6:18 xpert at every thing but never seen doing anything,blind as well
The truck has dual wheels in the back so it's always 4-wheel drive. What he needs is 6-wheel drive. All dually's are 4 wheel drive.
Two bolted together counts as one, since they don't move separately.
@GWNorth-db8vn you wouldn't want them moving separately anyway. I have a locking rear end for this type of thing.
@@SARDOGFL - The two tires on each corner don't move separately, so they count as one wheel.
@@GWNorth-db8vn Shure they do. Each tire is mounted on a wheel and counts as a separate wheel. otherwise an 18 wheeler would be called an 8 wheeler.

Two empty ramps both sides 😂 but yet picks only ramp with boat n tried load lo,l
Instead of cleaning up the debris they put up a barrier. Americans are above cleaning it would take 5 minutes

In qld australia our ramps are full of slippery mud and steeper than these ramps and have no issue pulling boats out 🤣
