Call me crazy but I think leaving your motor in gear, prop whirling away, and nobody at the helm is about the most reckless and brain dead thing I’ve seen in a while…along with not putting the winch and safety chain on before pulling the boat out of the water.
It's easier to go to an empty parking lot and set out a couple traffic cones. Some Boat ramps you come straight down, others you come in from a right angle. So all of these need to be practiced. If you do, you look like a boss on vacation. 👍😎
Best advice I can give to them is to discuss before hand about frustration and not to get mad at each other during the process. That he is going to give instructions and she needs to follow them and not get mad.
Imagine having one of the most embarrassing and frustrating moments of your life and as you're trying to figure it out, a drone swoops in for a closer view
Boat ramps can be some good entertainment, way back in the day before mobile recording devices. We used to grab some beer and just hang out at the boat ramp laughing at folks.
I almost always launched and retrieved my boat by my self. A few minutes is all I needed. If the boat and trailer weren't perfect, I still pulled out of the way for others and used a little jack to nudge the boat into place. A couple of inches out of place , no problem. Respect for others. Only had a 16' speed n ski with 85hp Mercury .
Same here nobody could ever accuse me of being a ramp hog. If I saw what looked to be an experienced boater I'd tell him to line up after me as I'll be launched in minutes.
I’ve spent my entire life in Minnesota loading and unloading boats thousands of times, if people would simply ask how to do it, save so much trouble and money.
I loved Spider-Man’s hand signals! 😂😂. I always love it when people give me directions, especially when I’m my mirror while backing a trailer, by spinning their hand in circles like their turning the steering wheel. It’s the worst!! You can never tell what they’re trying to tell you!!
It's 5:30am in Hixson,Tn. Love Love Love your videos. There's something entertaining about boats in and out of the water. You Sir, make it even more entertaining to watch. I'm 70 years young and I have spent my fair share of time on the water. Thanks for Sharing 👍👍💕
Got to love the guy who dropped his boat off the trailer. Leaving it on the trailer. Unattended with heavy throttle. Creating a nice week to make. Everybody else is like difficult because he doesn’t know how to properly do things.
I am a Navy veteran and retired Army 1SG. Saw enough ocean being underway all of the time. In the Army I was a Prime Power Production Specialist (52E). Approaching retirement, with about six months remaining I was hired as a field service technician for Detroit Diesel. Repairing marinized generators, marinized propulsion units and very large land based generators. I flew all over the world working on M/Y, Water Taxi’s, fishing boats in Dutch Harbor, ge sets on the North Slope, etc. In every interaction I had with engineers on the ships/watercraft…was told to “never, ever” buy a boat.

Boats are great but if you only have it as a status symbol no real watermen want to know you. Anyway, if it flies, floats, or.....dances you should RENT IT.

Lol he called the Deadpool spare tire cover spiderman!! 😅😅😅 love these vids never stop doing this buddy. As a trucker these weekend pirates are hilarious to me.
@joshjackson6133 Moving water doesn't help, which is why you shouldn't back the trailer so deep. Let the bunk boards do their job of lining and guiding the boat on the trailer. Like someone else said. Back it in to where the top of the trailer fenders are just above or even with the water level.
I feel so fortunate to have a private dock with 3 slips, never really have to worry about winding up on the internet, I live on a lake though. I'm in a cove so the biggest issue for us are disrespectful bass fisherman that think it's fine to go 45 plus mph just to get to they're fishing spot, and in the process through off huge wakes that destroy people's docks and boats. The Corps of Engineers has told me to take photos of every vessel that speeds so they can write tickets. My great great grandfather was involved on the construction on this lake in the 40s, built a cabin and a dock here, there's no one left in my family to look after this place so it's up to my girlfriend and I, I'm a nice person but I'm really protective over the place
Pro Tip: for pontoons, barely get the rear of the bunks in the water. Have someone in the tow vehicle. Run the pontoon onto the bunks as far as it will go with light throttle. At that point, have the person in the tow vehicle slowly back the trailer under the pontoon while the boat driver holds light throttle until the boat meets the front stop, then stop the vehicle. This method is particularly valuable when there is choppy waters/crosswinds. Backing a pontoon trailer in too far is a recipe for comedic gold at best and property destruction at worst.
I once loaded my tri-toon on a ramp that had one side of the ramp deeper than the other making the starboard side lower than the port side. When I got it up to the winch it was straight. When my father-in-law began to drive my truck up out of the water a wake came in and caused the stern to drift towards starboard as we were pulling out. The lip of the deck drifted on top of the guide-on on the trailer right as we came up out of the water. Not long after that the boat fell off the guide-on ripping the deck up about 4''. Lesson learned the hard way but either way it was a lesson learned.
@@williammurray8060 the carpeted bunks on the trailer where the boat sits. They are called different things in different parts. I've heard them called skids as well.
Two pieces of advice. Add a keel guard before you ever put it in the water. Always have a safety chain or rope connected between the trailer and the bow eye before you pull out of the water.
Great video nothing more entertaining than a boat ramp . . I have a 690 Ranger that I have a Boat2trailer hook up on takes me and driver 2 minutes to the boat . Can't to see the next circus
@@TheBigDanShowhe just got his boat like full throttle way open when he’s not in the water on his boat so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤First of all I love watching your boat videos. Second of my husband and I had a 17-foot family boat several years ago I miss my boat. Now we go camping. I’m trying to get my husband to buy a boat again. My husband knows how to put the boat on the trailer and off.
Hey, love the video. That is a Deadpool tire cover not Spiderman btw. That was his first time loading the boat as well. How do I know all this? I'm the guy driving the jeep and that's my youngest son. I'm very proud of the ending there. LOL! I'm fairly new to boat ownership as I had two jet skis before buying this, so I do appreciate the education. I didn't even think about how far it was in the water, now I know better! 9:02
So this is the new launch I was told about. Grew up down there and didn’t even realize it until you turned and showed the Wharf😂. Can’t wait to see my dad on here lol.
I watched that happen at the ramp once while waiting to get off and get our trailer. Steepish 50 yard ramp triple axel trailer with tilt-able rollers at the end. Winch cable let lose half way up and the safety chain wasn’t hooked. Gave new meaning to dry docked.
This is why I taught my son to drive our boat when he was young. These dudes who are the only ones in their family who know how to put the boat on the trailer are not doing anyone any favors!
Horrible drivers!! Love your videos. We used to carry our jet ski 550's in the bed of Isuzu Pup pickups, we would back them all the way down into the water and drive them into the bed. We were young and didn't want to buy trailers. We did put one into the cab though but it was sooo funny. Wish we had filmed that.
Get out to a boat ramp during the week on a cold nasty day so you are the only boat out there. Spend as much time as you need to back in and pull out. There is honestly no excuse for some of these boaters it's embarrassing
Loved the drone. Only improvement would be to follow the boat all the way until the truck takes it away. Each boat is a story and needs closure. But great show, really enjoyed it!
Watching from Orange County CA. Never had problem one launching or trailering my boat this is just hilarious. I used to watch people at the ramp all the time doing all sorts of stupid. And unfortunately, not even duct tape fixes stupid.
Had many a laugh at Dana Point ramp. If I had been smart I wouldve gotten a maritime law degree and just set up a chair and video taped the ramp with a stack of business cards.
Having a Mastercraft PS190 with closed bow... The Boat Buddy mounted on the trailer is best invention ever! Tow vehicle driver never has to leave the seat... back in, stop, listen for the snap, pull out!
@@TheBigDanShow a crude video of it... ua-cam.com/video/7fbZrq9KJm4/v-deo.html but, look up Mastercraft Boat Buddy. Not sure who the manufacturer is, but it's got a spring loaded pin that snaps into the eye of the boat hook. Works flawlessly 👍 edit: mine's a1991 model... apparently there's another one out there called Ramp-N-Clamp🤷♂🤷♂
Even without a Boat Buddy, the driver should never be out ot the truck for more than 30 seconds - to latch or unlatch the bow eye, only. Get out of the tow vehicle and fool around with the boat around here and people will be yelling at you to get the hell out of the way.
Some feel it is necessary to spray a silicon type lubricant on their carpeted bunk boards to help the boat slide off easier and trust me it definitely works as seen in that video.
Back in the day it was dish soap. You’d see guys at the ramp squirt a half a bottle of it on each runner. LOL. I never saw one slide back off, but I always found it completely unnecessary to do. If you do things the right way you don’t need to lube your runners.
😂😂. I'll never twist that mistake! It took 2 years for that crap to finally wear off. 2 years of having to quick hop off the waverunner and go hook up the strap before it slides completely off the bunks 😂. I was given some terrible advice, and I learned from it.
Boat ramps and traffic round-a-bouts are some of the best free entertainment, pull up a lounge chair and cooler of beer and be prepared to be entertained for hours
You’re joking, but I used to do just that. A popular boat ramp near the inlet, in Ocean City, MD, there would always be a mile long line. So waiting in line, we’d get in the back of my truck, play music, drink a beer and watch the comedy until we got in. Always had 30-45 minutes of laughs watching pissed off boaters…well, wannabe boaters. Nothing better. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
I have zero experience with loading or unloading boats but even I know better on how deep the trailer should be in water, not leaving prop running in unoccupied boat. And good looking boat beavers 👍
I live in Florida, and my husband and I fish together for many many years I have never seen a boat ramp as busy as that one that you're showing their right now.
I’ve always wondered why some of the really busy boat ramps don’t have like a valet type system, you unload your boat get a ticket call when you are coming in they have your trailer ready in the water, maybe they do at places not sure
I think it's because there's not a universally, or at least commonly accepted, method of launching and retrieving. Everyone thinks their way is "right", and far too many people don't give a rat's ass how long they make others wait. Almost everyone in my area drops off a driver to get the trailer, and almost no one ever parks at the dock. Works so much better than the shit show in most of these videos.
Usually when the trailer disappears under water it’s a good sign your in too deep eh ! The one guy getting off the boat while it’s running in gear wow !
Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone would invent a chain that would prevent your boat from falling off the trailer. BTW, in my opinion bunks would have prevented him rolling off the trailer, and they provide better support to the hull.
@Bobonthis with a jetski its slightly different then with a bigger boat especially something like a pontoon thats already hard to control, and when you add jet power theres no slow speed turning control due to the false neutral and no rudder thats why a first time buyer shouldn't buy jet power boats as a first boat because they are more likely to crash them at slow speeds then a boat with a rudder system
@@Bobonthis also just to be far to you pontoons no matter the size or engine just in general are known to be a pain to put on a trailer, to control in the wind, professional captains have trouble with them sometimes 🤣🤣 so don't take bad press about what yall did wrong the wrong way some of us grew up with and around boats our whole lifes so we know things that salesman wouldn't tell a new boater they just sale the good never the bad.
For crying out loud!! You missed the smashed door on the pickup, the hot rod boat into the dock, and the live bottom trailer dump!! You need to stay on point when filming.
I was gonna comment about the guy running his boat at high-speed and getting off the boat, but I saw another commenter already said something about that, but watch the video. He taught his kid to do that. This guy actually thinks that’s how you put a boat back on a trailer! Ridiculous.
That Switch driver must be first time out with it. Believe it, it takes time to learn how to park even a PWC back on the trailer when you count tides coming in and out and even winds. Adding PVC poles to the trailer can also help. The more you load and unload, the better you should get. And use the reverse bucket as well - it helps.
Worked at a ramp for 5 summers, nothing worse then power loaders, then leaving the motor pushing the boat as they try and crank it up at the same time.
A winch is just that, a winch, never use it as a safety device. Before moving with the trailer with the boat on it always attach your safety chain to the bow of the boat.
Call me crazy but I think leaving your motor in gear, prop whirling away, and nobody at the helm is about the most reckless and brain dead thing I’ve seen in a while…along with not putting the winch and safety chain on before pulling the boat out of the water.
Hold my beer!

All of the above, YIKES 😬
Yep, Dumb Yanks.

Best piece of advice I can give to people, especially couples, take a day off work in the middle of the week, go to the ramp, and practice.
He left it to her tide the boat on the trail! When he should had made sure himself!

More relationships ruined by yelling at the girlfriend/wife trying trailer the boat
Also, never go faster than you are willing to hit something.
The people randomly focusing their anger at onlookers and drones instead of loading their boat, never gets old.
In the words of Fred Sanford, you got the boat trailer in too deep….you big dummy so I’m gonna flip off the drone!! 🤣🤣 hello from the HAWKEYE state.
Dehydration due to alcohol abuse. If you want to de fuse the situation. Have your girl go over and ask," Does the old man need a nap?"

The biggest problem with loading the boat on the trailer is having the trailer too deep into the water.
I don't understand why people don't understand that!
And also not enough trailer in the water

@@TheBigDanShow a crude video of it... ua-cam.com/video/7fbZrq9KJm4/v-deo.html
but, look up Mastercraft Boat Buddy. Not sure who the manufacturer is, but it's got a spring loaded pin that snaps into the eye of the boat hook. Works flawlessly 👍
edit: mine's a1991 model... apparently there's another one out there called Ramp-N-Clamp🤷♂🤷♂
Even without a Boat Buddy, the driver should never be out ot the truck for more than 30 seconds - to latch or unlatch the bow eye, only. Get out of the tow vehicle and fool around with the boat around here and people will be yelling at you to get the hell out of the way.
Some feel it is necessary to spray a silicon type lubricant on their carpeted bunk boards to help the boat slide off easier and trust me it definitely works as seen in that video.
Back in the day it was dish soap. You’d see guys at the ramp squirt a half a bottle of it on each runner. LOL. I never saw one slide back off, but I always found it completely unnecessary to do. If you do things the right way you don’t need to lube your runners.
😂😂. I'll never twist that mistake! It took 2 years for that crap to finally wear off. 2 years of having to quick hop off the waverunner and go hook up the strap before it slides completely off the bunks 😂. I was given some terrible advice, and I learned from it.
Damn man..... y'all got some world class humor at y'alls ramp!!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Boat ramps and traffic round-a-bouts are some of the best free entertainment, pull up a lounge chair and cooler of beer and be prepared to be entertained for hours
Ain’t no doubt!
You’re joking, but I used to do just that. A popular boat ramp near the inlet, in Ocean City, MD, there would always be a mile long line. So waiting in line, we’d get in the back of my truck, play music, drink a beer and watch the comedy until we got in. Always had 30-45 minutes of laughs watching pissed off boaters…well, wannabe boaters. Nothing better. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
I cannot fathom how roundabouts are difficult for Americans.
It’s a circle. With off-ramps.
Merge, un-merge.
WTF?
I have zero experience with loading or unloading boats but even I know better on how deep the trailer should be in water, not leaving prop running in unoccupied boat. And good looking boat beavers 👍
💪💪💪
Jeep guy has enough advise for the whole world.
Yes I Do. LOL 😂
I live in Florida, and my husband and I fish together for many many years I have never seen a boat ramp as busy as that one that you're showing their right now.
I’ve always wondered why some of the really busy boat ramps don’t have like a valet type system, you unload your boat get a ticket call when you are coming in they have your trailer ready in the water, maybe they do at places not sure
@@TheBigDanShow probably save some frustration and fights as well
I think it's because there's not a universally, or at least commonly accepted, method of launching and retrieving. Everyone thinks their way is "right", and far too many people don't give a rat's ass how long they make others wait. Almost everyone in my area drops off a driver to get the trailer, and almost no one ever parks at the dock. Works so much better than the shit show in most of these videos.
@@richardredhead well said when I go with my brother that’s how we do it one get the trailer one stays with the boat
I was thinking of a harbourmaster type to direct and help out
Good idea, would prevent a lot of Chinese fire drills.
Usually when the trailer disappears under water it’s a good sign your in too deep eh !
The one guy getting off the boat while it’s running in gear wow !
Tip of the day: When the trailer fenders are just sunk . STOP
My boat calls for 2 inches of fender above water
I am very late to the show, but really like the "attitude" of your show. From South LA, Rigolets Pass.
Dad was griping at the son for not getting it on the trail. But dad is the one that back the trail in to far.
Always too far!
I wasn't getting mad at all, it was his first time. I'm sure it seems like that with my arms flailing around. 😅😂
Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone would invent a chain that would prevent your boat from falling off the trailer.
BTW, in my opinion bunks would have prevented him rolling off the trailer, and they provide better support to the hull.
Simple rule at the ramp. If you can’t see the trailer it just might be to deep.
Crazy funny at how people get so pissed at videos of them doing shit wrong. Great video
Dude on the seadoo ponoon looks new to boating and the worst thing you can do for a first boat is get a big boat thats uses a jet to control it
We love it. Had 2 jet skis previously. That was his first time. I didn't know about the trailer thing. I've learned something now 😂
@Bobonthis with a jetski its slightly different then with a bigger boat especially something like a pontoon thats already hard to control, and when you add jet power theres no slow speed turning control due to the false neutral and no rudder thats why a first time buyer shouldn't buy jet power boats as a first boat because they are more likely to crash them at slow speeds then a boat with a rudder system
@@Bobonthis also just to be far to you pontoons no matter the size or engine just in general are known to be a pain to put on a trailer, to control in the wind, professional captains have trouble with them sometimes 🤣🤣 so don't take bad press about what yall did wrong the wrong way some of us grew up with and around boats our whole lifes so we know things that salesman wouldn't tell a new boater they just sale the good never the bad.
I love your drone ❤️your shows are great very professional thank you.
For crying out loud!! You missed the smashed door on the pickup, the hot rod boat into the dock, and the live bottom trailer dump!! You need to stay on point when filming.
@@TheBigDanShow Are those "Tuck Friendly Bikinis"? Lol
@@kenuber4014 I mean there’s so many choices where do you point the camera?
Not sure how I got here? Truck driver from Canada. Pure gold you got here.

Perv comment?
Why is there only one like👍🏼 on this comment that is one year old i will never know!
I was gonna comment about the guy running his boat at high-speed and getting off the boat, but I saw another commenter already said something about that, but watch the video. He taught his kid to do that. This guy actually thinks that’s how you put a boat back on a trailer! Ridiculous.
Wild ain’t it
Love that I got a SeaDoo Switch advertisement as the guy was attempting to land his SeaDoo. The algorithim is working.
Thank you for your time.....good stuff
My pleasure!!
You always manage to find the good views too. Like the last one.
@@TheBigDanShow, you can find full nude videos on UA-cam and people complain about what you can see just walking on the beach? People are insane.
Boat ramps are ALWAYS the best free awesome entertainment!!!
No doubt
When I had a boat I learned that by dropping the tail gate on my truck made it so easy to see the trailer .
Definitely can help
Oh yeah the drone does it what a good addition to your channel
Loved the show from Morton Ms. The show is educational
What a cool idea for a youtube channel. New sub. Thanks for the video.
I gotta show this channel to my wife. It will boost her confidence in trailering so much. 🤣🤣🤣
@@parisite99 🤣👌👌 that’s what I’m here for
The big Dan show is the best on UA-cam 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks my friend
Thanks for the entertainment
I am SOOO glad your channel found me!
Me too!! Welcome
Love the finger from the pontoon boat Jeep guy. From British Columbia Canada.
Thanks mate
That Switch driver must be first time out with it. Believe it, it takes time to learn how to park even a PWC back on the trailer when you count tides coming in and out and even winds. Adding PVC poles to the trailer can also help. The more you load and unload, the better you should get. And use the reverse bucket as well - it helps.
It was his first time.
Worked at a ramp for 5 summers, nothing worse then power loaders, then leaving the motor pushing the boat as they try and crank it up at the same time.
That is the craziest most dangerous power loading I ever seen. Leaving the engines full throttle and jumping out to latch and reel it up. Crazy
Insane right! It happens more often then you think around ehre
A winch is just that, a winch, never use it as a safety device. Before moving with the trailer with the boat on it always attach your safety chain to the bow of the boat.
That’s right!
Oh yeah I just just heard bird dog take off can’t wait to see what he sees
