I'm surprised how many 4WD trucks I see at this boat ramp that are smoking the rear tires trying to pull a boat out while in 2 wheel drive. It's like they buy a 4x4 and have not the faintest clue WTF to do with it. 🤷♂️
@@Meekerextreme I'm guessing there must be a lot of these people buying these trucks because "Hey, this looks cool." and not having any idea of how 4x4 actually works.🤷♂️

@@trhenryvlogs9638 You are correct that a 4 wheel drive can do a little better, but only if there is enough weight on the trailer. When you put any weight on the backend of a vehicle it takes some weight off the frontend. When it is sitting on a hill, it takes weight off the end that is uphill. So, though you do have the front tires helping, it cannot done without the back tires doing the most work. I had an 18 foot Wellcraft at about 3,000 pounds plus camping gear and didn't spin the tires. It has everything to do with how much weight you put on the tongue and how you start off, how much throttle you give it. Around here, where we do most of our boating, the ramps are quite steep (Way more so than in the video here) also we don't have that (Stupid) cobble stone type of concrete, you learn to only put enough trailer in the water to be sure you don't put the tires in the slime. You learn to use the power of the boat to load it onto the trailer were 1/3 to 1/2 of the weight of the boat is on the trailer. Left foot on the break, put it in gear, release the parking break, give it just a tad throttle, just enough to keep the whole rig from rolling backwards, slowly release the break, maybe just a tad more throttle and you're off. My brother did the same with a 82 station wagon and a 1960's Lone Star all aluminum that weighted about the same.
honestly boat trailers are hard to keep working bulbs in. The water messes up the bulb connection, and like most of these idiots launching in florida the dont unplug the trailer lights so when the hot bulbs hit the water they break. I keep extra bulbs in my tackle box so if one pops on me i can make it home without the police pulling me over and findoing out that i had four beer to drink while fishing.... ohhh my god!
I used to be bad at launching until I spent an afternoon watching shellfish farmers launch and retrieve their work skiffs filled with tons of oysters and pylons on the dirt ramps they carved out of the beach. They often launched alone and had to do it no matter the conditions. I took notes and learned a lot in a few weekends. Watching this is like the complete opposite. Great ramps, great conditions, easy to handle boats, trucks with more metal than rust.. and they struggle tremendously. Educational, but in a different way.
First one got me hot. Dude did whatever he could not to scratch his boat but ends up damaging someone else's. Look how he kicks his boat off so it doesn't touch the dock.
He should’ve asked his wife to steer the boat before he got off or attempted to get closer to the jetty. Then ask his wife to tie up. She stood around not really doing anything. If she didn’t know what do to, then it’s his fault for not teaching her.
That idiot definitely left the helm while the boat was in reverse to grab the dock. It was in reverse that entire time, that's why the rear kicked out so hard and hit the adjacent boat.
4:46 Happens way too often. Somebody loading a "dinghy" backs into the water at the exact center of the ramp and proceeds to fumble around for 20 minutes getting the boat onto the trailer. Then proceeds to unload the gear and stow stuff before leaving up the ramp. It's amusing here on UA-cam. Not so much in real life. :-)
As an 18 wheeler driver I'm constantly amazed how little skill most drivers have and how few ppl are willing to practice a few hours of backing around in a parking lot before taking a trailer out. It scares me that this is acceptable behavior. 😬😬
Too true. My parents had a caravan when we were teenagers and we loved reversing onto a site. I later worked as a leadsman, and there's a lot of downtime waiting to meet workmates and boats. That's exactly what we did...practice reversing empty trailers that cannot be seen. I used a very simple technique taught by an old truckie..... In the driver's seat, decide which side you want closest to side of the ramp or pontoon. Drive the car and trailer far enough away to get it nicely lined up with that side. When reversing, you are going to keep your eye on the that same side view mirror. You are going to bias the trailer veering to the right if it goes off course. (you don't want it veering to the left) How to do this? When the trailer veers right, you momentarily slightly turn the steering wheel to the right to correct. This will result in very few micro steering movements, and rarely if ever will you need to drive forward again to try again. For turning corners, realize there's a lag in what the trailer will do in reaction to steering wheel movements....to get the trailer to go right, you turn the wheel left, but it is always gentle small movements....you want to focus on looking at the wheels of the trailer...once the angle of the trailer gets to 45 deg with the car, you need to straighten up. Getting an angle greater than 45 degrees usually requires a restart. For narrower empty jet ski trailers, you need a person outside giving you constant hand signals to stay straight....or a car with reversing camera...or drop the tailgate.
So when things begin to go askew in my day...your voice begins to narrate the action and helps me cope....you shall receive no royalties for this. Thank you for helping me threw this past year buddy.
The second guy - the one who hit the ramp with the front wheel of his vehicle did great - he opened the door and looked at what the issue was. How many guys that appear on this channel would just gun the engine and try to force it to move?
Do people in Florida just not like 4x4s? It always seems like if they could just get the front wheels pulling it would help a lot. I know that I have had to when the ramp was slippery up here on Lake Michigan.
As a Florida man, it's actually hard to buy a 4wd down here I moved here from Colorado where it's hard to find a 2wd. I wanted to trade my truck in but I am having a hard time finding a 4wd. No way I'm going to buy a 2wd with my center console.
Anyone know what's up with the tiny pirate boat at 4:50 that is next to the guy with the weak pull out game? Would definitely love to see better footage of that thing. It looks nifty.
what on the funky earth is that small craft next to the ones not able to get up the ramp???? it looks like a miniature pirate boat had a child with a jet ski
Using the boat to muscle it up the ramp . . . not sure what I'd have done, but that worked. Better choice is to have a capable tow vehicle. I feel sorry for the broken skeg dude, that's a heartbreaker. A skeg-wedgie . . . ouch!
@@jasonb193 that made me really angry. It’s probably one of the stupidest and most insensitive pet situations I’ve ever seen. She has little to no understanding about how a dog or puppies’ emotions and behavior changes in the face of scary situations. He doesn’t care if you are there or not; his “fight or flight” mode has kicked in. The first thing he will do is off-load extra weight so he can run fast and fight well: so he empties his bladder and vomits up stomach contents. Hopefully all over her. Then he will try to escape so he can run away, I’m sure you can envision what that looks like. He will become snappish and act like a wild-thing, which is what he has become. All this will probably be the pets fault in the owner’s eyes. Yeah, a good time for everyone. P.S If that dog is a Maltese, I’ve had several in my life and none of them liked the water. That puppy would drown in a very short amount of time - they are not water dogs. I’ve also owned Newfoundlands in my younger years and that IS a water dog. Big difference.
Start a tradition of assisting others at the dock. The situation where the tow vehicle looses traction is so common everyone should be prepared to assist.
When your truck does not have the traction to pull the boat out, use the motors to help get it going. The props always have more traction than the tires do.
I had a fail at the ramp yesterday. Put in drain plug, back down ramp and boat won't come off trailer. Boat floating to the side. Oops forgot transom straps.
Stuck outdrive fix was easy. As soon as she put it into drive, the truck pulled forward ever so gently on the trailer, and took the pressure of the weight of the boat and trailer on the downslope of the ramp off the outdrive that was probably pinned in place by that weight, and maybe even gave it a sliver of clearance so it could be trimmed up,.
3:40 if he would turn max right and try it like that, the force needed to make the boat moving would be almost half or less, and he gets even 1-2 meters of momentum so he could get out
Regardless of the misfortunes of the captains, I truly understand and empathize with some of the predicaments seen, this is a very educational channel. One can learn a lot from viewing others woes. Rock on Drain Plug Mafia!!
The last guy with the stuck outdirve is an easy fix. bottle jack or scissor jack under the rear cross beam. At least get the weight of the boat off the outdrive for the pump to do its job. He started to do something, as you can see the boat or trailer weight shift down just before he got really stuck.
He actually docked it pretty decent in that strong wind and current. I think he actually left it in reverse tho as the narrator said. His only mistake I m o was not turning it off as he left the helm. He jumped on the dock with a line to pull it in, but just couldn t overcome the power of the motor. I guess the other two in the boat are useless ??
That first guy was doing fine, even with the sharp approach angle, but, he bailed out. If he had just kept going straight, he could have gotten a bowline over and walked the back over. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just slowly HEAD FOR THE DOCK.
Well at least the last guy can just replace the lower unit and not the whole outdrive. The good news is given what we saw he's probably hit the prop so many times while going at top speed the lower unit gears are probably about to go bad any day so the replacement now will save him a tow!!
I bet the last one was a fun ride home. It really does baffle me the level of incompetence from so many people. There should be a launch/recovery aptitude test before people can buy a vessel. But maybe not. We’d miss out on so much fun.
2:01 Why isn't that big ol' Excursion in 4WD? It's not the truck pulling that boat out, it's the guy driving the Excursion. Trying to pull that boat out. 5:57 It looks like he broke the skag off as well.
Investing in a vehicle with 4wheel drive to haul such a massive boat= priceless. The guy who dragged the outdrive...I BET he didn't listen to his wife when she said don't forget to lift it! Unfortunately backing up will probably do so much more damage to the transom than what that boat is worth! 🤦♀️ Ask me how I know. 😂
Honestly i dont really blame the guy at 6:55. He had a flat tire on the right side, and it just drug. If he didnt have a flat, he wouldnt have this problem. Although everyone should always check tires and lights before using the trailer
Hey, I can buy that boat, it weighs just a little less than what my truck can haul, cool ... _Forgets trailer weight, down-angle ramp, and gravitational acceleration_
The guy that left the outdrive down, pretty sure it wedged in when he put it in park and it rolled back. What I think he did was have the lady put the brake on hard, put it in drive, and then give it gas and try to make it just slightly rock forward by slowly letting the brakes slip. This would relieve the pressure while he ran it up, and as soon as it moved far enough the drive would pop up. The movement probably would have just been the front suspension loading up as the rear brakes slipped before the front ones, so you wouldn't have seen any vehicle movement, but all it needed was half an inch to relieve the pressure.
Honestly, there should be a mandatory course to teach people how to dock and some dock etiquette too...
People use to be kind and teach others, now we just grab the camera and laugh so people are embarrassed to ask for assistance.
They have driving courses for your car but I see disrespectful knuckleheads everyday, its a great thought thow

Yes tilt your dive up, make sure your battery isn't dead and practice backing up before going to the boat launch.
if wedged, use a car scissor jack in the center of the trailer axle and lift the trailer while someone on the boat raises the outdrive.
Or jump on the rear bumper
Can you jack that trailer on an incline?

Was thinking the same thing. An excursion isn’t a small truck. Looked like more of a traction issue in the end.
2:01 Why isn't that big ol' Excursion in 4WD? It's not the truck pulling that boat out, it's the guy driving the Excursion. Trying to pull that boat out. 5:57 It looks like he broke the skag off as well.
Last one can’t get it up, she got it up for him
Investing in a vehicle with 4wheel drive to haul such a massive boat= priceless.
The guy who dragged the outdrive...I BET he didn't listen to his wife when she said don't forget to lift it! Unfortunately backing up will probably do so much more damage to the transom than what that boat is worth! 🤦♀️ Ask me how I know. 😂
Honestly i dont really blame the guy at 6:55. He had a flat tire on the right side, and it just drug. If he didnt have a flat, he wouldnt have this problem. Although everyone should always check tires and lights before using the trailer
It looks like a guy with aluminum welding skills could set up shop in Miami, and make a pretty good living.
Hey, I can buy that boat, it weighs just a little less than what my truck can haul, cool ...
_Forgets trailer weight, down-angle ramp, and gravitational acceleration_
Never-ending content lol.
I can launch and retrieve my Parker solo in minutes. That being said, I've seen some crazy things at the dock.
Do these lifted trucks not have 4lo ? Never had this issue.
Is four wheel drive not a thing in Miami?
Is it boat code that you have at least one brake light out on your trailer?
I kinda wanted to watch that Honda pull his boat out 😩
Leave it to a personal watercraft owner. I'll take up the whole ramp for this little craft. The easiest load and it takes them all day
6:28 That's something no man wants to hear...
The 11 dislikes are from people who got caught messing up by Miami Boat Ramps
Whatever vehicle you use, you need 4x4!
This is y I will park my boat at a Marina
Put the jack in front of the outdrive?
That'll buff out.
The guy that left the outdrive down, pretty sure it wedged in when he put it in park and it rolled back. What I think he did was have the lady put the brake on hard, put it in drive, and then give it gas and try to make it just slightly rock forward by slowly letting the brakes slip.
This would relieve the pressure while he ran it up, and as soon as it moved far enough the drive would pop up.
The movement probably would have just been the front suspension loading up as the rear brakes slipped before the front ones, so you wouldn't have seen any vehicle movement, but all it needed was half an inch to relieve the pressure.
6:02 The rims on that Odyssey...
Pink hat is hot.
