He had to pull up, which isn’t the end of the world but it’s a far cry from master level. I think my hands would be shaking with a million dollar boat behind me and I haul wide loads for a living.
Agreed. And tbh, the most difficult trailers to back up by far are jet ski trailers. The longer the trailer, the easier it is (to a certain point, of course), imo. At least that guy had the right setup and wasn’t trying to do it with a little Lexus SUV (I’m sure we’ve all seen THAT vid lol).
@@gonzalocuervoformayorofpro7533 i was thinking the same thing but could be just a temporary trip to another location. Or this could be a new boat for them and they are putting in to take it to a marina. I think it’s likely the latter as I didn’t notice any registration numbers on it. And it looks pretty empty for somebody going out on a fishing trip or to the sandbar.
@@talkofthevillagestalkofthe5514 Don't have to prove stuffall to you, done it since before you were born, so talk from experience, hence was satisfied to make my comment. To teach you something, the longer the trailer the more time you have to make corrections.
@@pieterhoekstra9887 totally agree but if you have a big trailer or a short trailer, one of the biggest problem is that most people don't know how to backup using the mirrors. I see people hanging out of the car to check if everything is oké which is dangerous and strange. My dad learned me from 12 years of age that looking over the shoulder is for dummies. As a kid I didn't want to be a dummy so I drove with everything that he aloud me to. Tractors, trucks, cars with al kinds of trailers. Once you know you always know.
Clearly not a weekend then because it has relatively few boats coning in and out at the moment. Lots of room! Thanks for identifying it. I'd like to see him do the same thing at Black Point Marina or one of the crowded and busy ones.
I would want a bigger truck like a business class 4 door Freightliner. The old man who taught me how to waterski had a Ball hitch on the front of his Toyota for backing his boat up. He had a '85 4x4 Toyota and a 16' Tri hull open bow Glastron with a 150 HP Mercury outboard. Never seen that setup before or since. BTW I SUCK at waterskiing I never got off the training bar.
I seen a truck with the same setup. The driver had to go so far down the ramp the engine fan threw water all over his engine and the truck quit running. Another truck had to pull him out.
Large trailers are quite a bit easier in my opinion but still well done. I used to drive a truck for a construction supply dealer and I never had problems with the trailer but I have a little John deere lawn tractor with a tiny little dump trailer and it's a pain in the ass to back that thing up.
That's a lot of boat to trailer around. he'd never get it out of the water here with that truck. maybe if he got lucky and hit a spring tide when he was returning.
LOL, speaking from non-experience..... reality launching a boat? Many unexpected surprises, I cut out the asshole in the van that cut in and was almost crushed.
Believe it or not, longer trailers are easier to maneuver than short trailers. Shorter trailers are more sensitive to wheel steer and they are difficult to see.
I would be more impressed with someone backing up a short jet ski trailer with a Toyota Tercel. Now that takes skill! Short, short is much harder than long, long.
That's a couple minutes of my life I will never get back. It was about as exciting as watching my girlfriend back a jet ski down the ramp with no rear view mirrors
When I was a kid in the early 90s I boated all the time and had a blast, now I'm 52 and started boating and fishing again, honestly it's the most boring thing I've ever done.
Think that was a storage on trailer then in the water for summer then a lift back on the trailer and repeat ? I'd rent a semi cab to pull her out though. Don't know how tough and geared down that duelie is .
So, 11' 9" boat, going to say he has no oversize permit (no signage on his truck), no CDL (I'm betting his truck and boat are in a company name which means he should run a Class A). Backing was marginal for a 45' trailer, probably couldn't pass a CDL backing test based on his job here.
Just because you have equipment under a corporation doesn’t mean you have to have a class A cdl. The total combined gvwr is still under 26,001 lbs and doesn’t have air brakes so a class A isn’t required. The only thing benefit of having his equipment under a company is for tax purposes only. The ONLY thing he would need is an MC (motor carrier) number if he’s haul for hire, otherwise it’s s just a recreational vehicle just like a big RV, no different.
@@serg1184 GCWR is over 26,000 on that setup I can ASSURE you. He's also over 102" wide so no matter what he's running illegal without a permit and signage. Doesn't matter if he wants to play the I'm not commercial card or not. 102 is 102.
That trailer is set up right….barely any tongue weigh/ truck squat……am more impressed at how the truck handled that weight……..if the driver wants to impress me….show him backing up a single jet ski trailer 120-140 feet down a ramp on Memorial Day weekend
Was about to ask how much gas running 4 motors costs. Then I realized if you can afford a 42 foot boat, you aren't much worried about fuel consumption.
Master driver? He backed a boat up. Any man that can’t do this will make someone a fine wife someday. Besides, the longer the trailer, the easier it is.
Trailer boat people take note, look at how far back the towing truck went--didn't even get the tires wet--and neither should you. If you need to "bury" your ass end in the water, just say no. Something is wrong, try the middle of the ramp, it might be deeper. The way this guy did it should be your model. IF you have no choice, you are on your own. Go slow, and later, turn on a sprinkler under your truck and rinse the hell out of it, but in general, avoid dunking your truck--it's not good and how some trucks go swimming.
You get it. Many "arm chair" commenters just don't. This driver is patience, careful, responsible, and respects his equipment. Nothing broken, nobody hurt, success!
As a former semi tractor trailer driver, I can tell you that large trailers are easier to back than small trailers
Yup
He is good but a master would have got one try and yes small ones are the hardest.
my jet ski trailer is hard as crap to back up especially empty...almost a year and still cant get it right...
@@JacobMoy-ij5omI's agree maneuvering small ones is the hardest
@@spazzywhitebelt yup
Legend has it, he’s never even forget his drain plug !!!
giggle
Joe, no offense, but that wasn't masterful. It's a standard boat launch of a $1.3 million beast.
He had to pull up, which isn’t the end of the world but it’s a far cry from master level.
I think my hands would be shaking with a million dollar boat behind me and I haul wide loads for a living.
Driver is a pro, watch and learn....WTF is standard? LOL! Waiting on your video..... ;)

Why would a person trailer a million dollar boat? Why not keep at a marina? Serious question.

The bigger the trailer the easier it is to back up. I'd like to see that vehicle pulling it out again even with 4x4.
Really? Lets see your video Pieter..... big talk...LOL!

I ain gone lie long or short trailer, when I go to retrieve and if no guide posts are on the trailer ...I suck at backing
@@prynceal6762 Most honest commenter here. Haha 👍🏼
Hey that’s my boat ramp. Seminole in Clearwater!!
When you think you have the nicest boat, and then this guy shows up.
Ain't that the Truth! Think your big s*** at the Monaco Grand Prix with the biggest boat and then Jeff bezos shows up!
Theres always a bigger boat
That’s the Siminole Boat Ramp at Clearwater Florida. A very busy ramp on the weekends
Clearly not a weekend then because it has relatively few boats coning in and out at the moment. Lots of room! Thanks for identifying it. I'd like to see him do the same thing at Black Point Marina or one of the crowded and busy ones.
I knew it was Tampa Bay, I just couldn’t place it.
Pure skill. 😎
All the other boats look wimpy and girly man. 🥛 💐
The forklift skills were more impressive than that truck skills tbh
I am certain that's the point of the video
@@LurkMe no I think the point of the video was to in fact showcase the drop in of the boat itself - which was clearly unimpressive
That's one beautiful boat!
That's easier to back up than a jet ski trailer.
Lol..don't think he has a problem seeing where it is out of his back window.
Dude handled that like a boss, and what a boat!
It is not hard lol. It is just a crazy expensive boat. Yea, If anything this is easier to load, and unload. It is a heavy boat.
that was some crazy sick maniac shit 🥱
Yeah! My heart is still racing man.
I would want a bigger truck like a business class 4 door Freightliner.
The old man who taught me how to waterski had a Ball hitch on the front of his Toyota for backing his boat up.
He had a '85 4x4 Toyota and a 16'
Tri hull open bow Glastron with a 150 HP Mercury outboard. Never seen that setup before or since. BTW I SUCK at waterskiing I never got off the training bar.
I seen a truck with the same setup. The driver had to go so far down the ramp the engine fan threw water all over his engine and the truck quit running. Another truck had to pull him out.

Large trailers are quite a bit easier in my opinion but still well done. I used to drive a truck for a construction supply dealer and I never had problems with the trailer but I have a little John deere lawn tractor with a tiny little dump trailer and it's a pain in the ass to back that thing up.
Maybe we have different definitions of the word maniac.
I'm still waiting for something to happen.
All that on a ball hitch?
Love the boat!
Geez I better sharpen up on my 16’ tin can I struggle to back down.🤪
Now that's a boat.
Can’t imagine pulling a 1M boat. I think I’d just use the money to buy a house on the water and a small boat lol
Beautiful boat
Let’s see him with a single jet ski trailer 😀. The short ones are harder to back up
If you can drive a 40 ft trailer you can back up a little dinky one bro
@@yogiballa spoken like a guy who never towed a 10’ trailer with a 20’+ truck
If anything it's easier to back up the longer it is.. try backing up a 5 ft long trailer vs a 30 ft trailer.
Nothing unusual about that off load.
Standard for anybody that knows how too.
I saw a marine worker launch an expensive boat. Maniac?!
That's a lot of boat to trailer around.
he'd never get it out of the water here with that truck.
maybe if he got lucky and hit a spring tide when he was returning.
Big ones are easy. However, did anyone else catch what looks like an unintentional submarine at 1:36?
But in reality a trailer that length is a piece of cake to reverse, a little jetski trailer is way way more difficult.
LOL, speaking from non-experience..... reality launching a boat? Many unexpected surprises, I cut out the asshole in the van that cut in and was almost crushed.
Nice boat, how much fuel does it burn?
Killer job driver!
He had to pull up once to straighten it out, Masterful.. Maybe Expert ..
I witnessed nothing maniacal
for real, almost seem like click bait..SMH
A figure of speech, like Mad, Sick Skillz!! CRAAZY!! and such. THAT type maniacal-ism :)
Loving it!! :D
I'm not sure how the words "master" and "maniac" can be included in the description of this video.
I'm sitting there waiting for the maniac maneuver and it never came????
I think the pickup truck deserves a round of applause. I would be afraid towing a boat like that in a small truck.
That’s not really a small truck. 1 ton diesel that can tow 30,000lb+
What was the issue. I saw no MANIAC but a well controlled trailer!!
LOL! So he backed a boat into the water? He even had a basically straight back in. Cool boat though
Idk.. maybe magical.. even though a huge trailer is easier to back... i bet lots those qualified captains would still struggle
Cats are fine when going straight but remember to slow down bf turning, they can grab the water and throw out the passengers.
You mean skillfully ❤😂
Pulling the big beast!
How much does that boat weigh
Believe it or not, longer trailers are easier to maneuver than short trailers. Shorter trailers are more sensitive to wheel steer and they are difficult to see.

Short, short is much harder than long, long.
I was backing and maneuvering trailers tougher than that at 13 years old, grandma too.....
You're the expert, lets see your video big talk....send pics of grandma!
@@talkofthevillagestalkofthe5514 don't need videos city slicker, I grew up on the farm. Have a great day.
That's a couple minutes of my life I will never get back. It was about as exciting as watching my girlfriend back a jet ski down the ramp with no rear view mirrors
Observation:
Anyone who headlines "master backup" reveals that they aren't and likely uses a tennis ball parking aid in their garage.
Big trailers are a walk in the park. Try a jet ski trailer!!!
Ill take that Boston Whaler in the beginning..lol
When I was a kid in the early 90s I boated all the time and had a blast, now I'm 52 and started boating and fishing again, honestly it's the most boring thing I've ever done.
Yes that guy's the Boss
👍👍
Gnarly boat!!
Have you guys out there ever hear of a slip?
Just one of those motors could power all 3 of my boats…
It took a while for them to launch.
Think that was a storage on trailer then in the water for summer then a lift back on the trailer and repeat ? I'd rent a semi cab to pull her out though. Don't know how tough and geared down that duelie is .
Power wont be the problem, traction will be the limiting factor.
That boat is easier to back than a jet ski
All the other boats go mine was that big before it went into the water, don't they account for shrinkage...
More impressed the GMC/Whitetruck is Under it's own power
This is the builder doing sea trial.
Always wash down the trailer after a launch in saltwater.
So, 11' 9" boat, going to say he has no oversize permit (no signage on his truck), no CDL (I'm betting his truck and boat are in a company name which means he should run a Class A). Backing was marginal for a 45' trailer, probably couldn't pass a CDL backing test based on his job here.

A boat is ridiculous on many levels if u need a ladder to get on it...
Don't see the maniac part .. I've done the bid from lake superior to fla. and seen maniacs.
Maybe the author of this video was using ecstasy before upload it!
Wait you mean the truck and trailer not the freeman
Big trailers are easy. Let’s see him back up a jet ski trailer. Smaller the harder.
Actually backing the big boat is easier than a lil short necked trailer …..
Backing up a long trailer is easy, back up a 2 spot snowmobile trailer and then you can talk about being good.
The longer the trailer the easier it is to back up. Why? Because it doesn’t turn so quickly
Tbf not too difficult when the truck is half the length of the trailer.
Trailer is missing a axle
I back a 53' trailer in harder spots for way less praise.
That trailer is set up right….barely any tongue weigh/ truck squat……am more impressed at how the truck handled that weight……..if the driver wants to impress me….show him backing up a single jet ski trailer 120-140 feet down a ramp on Memorial Day weekend
I don't get y that boat is so much ...y wouldn't u get a sportfish?
Now how good is he with a Jeep CJ and a single jetski trailer?
I drive a 72ft tractor trailer hauling produce and go in and out of places smaller than that
Would have liked to see that size boat being pulled out of the water with that size truck? Rear wheels in water ?
I'd rather back that up than a 6ft lawnmower trailer. The longer the easier.
Anyone can u the forklift?
I drove my trk & backed up my lil. Dingy Ohhh Good job. Big fella. U passed drivers ed
Was about to ask how much gas running 4 motors costs. Then I realized if you can afford a 42 foot boat, you aren't much worried about fuel consumption.
Smaller trailers are way more difficult to manuever

Ha ha, funny.
It’s harder to back up that jetski trailer at the bottom of the screen…
This person lists their occupation as Truck Driver, but his friends just call him "Driver".
When he can push146 feet of an Airbus A321into a tail dock with one inch of tolerance on either side using 3 pivot points, let me know.
Give me forty acres I’ll turn this thing around.. And straight back it in lol
Ain't it easier with a bigger trailer to back it up ?
How is that small pick up truck towing that 15,000 pound boat?
Thats easier to back up than my ex fiances mom.
It is easy to back that long trailer up
Where is the maniac part?
But, can he catch bluegill with that thing?
The longer the easier.
Fishing can get expensive!
