Good Afternoon All 😊: Come on now CCC don't you think the pontoon driver did his best. It was a 4 hr rental & he used that time to practice his docking techniques. He knew he sucked at it but this guy is crafty. He didn't use his boat & not one of the ladies got off their butts to hand off the stern line.

0:50. "Red Shirt". I laughed, because if you're a Star Trek fan you know the meme about 'red shirt crewmen'. Well, glad this one didn't suffer the usual fate.
This WAS the two most painful dockings I've ever seen and Man, I wanted to see him get it on the trailer. That could've been a helluva show as well. Love the videos!
It's amazing how few people who boat know how to use the wind or current to their advantage. Also knowing when to shut the engine off. Thanks for another great post.
Sadly my homestate of Florida of 56 years is done on both coasts in just the last 20years . Every DIck, Harry and Jane has moved here and bought a boat too many idiots at the ramps and on the water anymore..
What, JIFFY FEET !!! I thought that was only a Jacksonville thing . You the only person I've ever heard of that knows what that meant. Great videos, much props to you.
I thought the same about Jiffy Feet's locale as an expression and couldn't believe I heard it! Had to see if anyone else in the comments got a kick out of it and found yours, sure nuff. I still say, "Let's go up to the *Jiffy," or *Lil' Champ or *Jr. Store (the latter was more out towards Tallahassee). My kids have no clue what I mean. I love these vids too. Even more now!
Oh Please! CCC, you have to put a !!WARNING!! on this one. I went from seeing the pontoon coming in and being hopeful......silly me! I went from hopeful to LMAO!! To, Oh just quit.. My abs actually hurt from laughing so hard. Seriously, I may have injured something. Then the runabout come in and I scream at orange shirt, "JUST GRAB THE BOAT!!!" This is the best episode you've ever produced. Thanks for the laugh.
Watching that pontoon boat was very painful... Especially when all he had to do was pull in on the other side of the dock and then drift into it.... Typical weekend warriors..lol
Absolutely love watching your videos. I'm awestruck at how difficult so many people at one ramp can make docking a boat look. Docking isn't hard, throttle control is your friend...never a need to just goose it unless you're running up a trailer and even then that's wrong. It seems none of the drivers are watching the wind or water flow, heck watch other boats to see which way they drift and make your approach accordingly. Watching these two struggle was brutal, if I ever see something like this I'll offer to help.
It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the boat owner to know how to drive a boat! If there were difficult conditions, heavy wind or strong current then a helping hand might be warranted. But these two morons get no sympathy from me.
@ 0:10--Never stand behind me in line at the supermarket, the boat dock, the food line at Costco, 4-way Stop Sign, etc. This Capt. is Always in front of me!
I think the length of your videos are fine. You pack a lot of content in to each where the other channel I watch will feature one or two boats for each episode and it's so drawn out. I look forward to your videos...Great job!!!
This channel takes me back to my childhood when I would ride on the back of my Dad's motorcycle with him to Walker boat ramp on Raccoon lake in Indiana. We could spend hours there watching the idiots 😂🤣 We had an 18 foot I/O boat and had the launch & recovery down... And I was only 10 but could line the boat up on the trailer, nudge the boat forward until it just engaged the guide rollers. Dad would attach the bow hook and winch the boat into position. The key was to back the trailer into the water to just the right depth. Easy peasy!
Hi Steve....Just bought a 22' sailboat and would like to know what would be the "right depth". I have been mentally launching and recovering the boat before I try it for real and become an item on UA-cam. I am thinking that it would be the depth that the boat breaks free and floats on its own but perhaps you could give me some guidelines from your experience. Thanks!
LMAO! 9xs out of 10 Alchohol, then stupidity, last just no concern for other people. Been boating down in the bayou since 5yrs old. I'm 60 now and seen it all. I dont say nothing to no one. I'm not trying to teach you a damn thing. Helping most people like this usually dosen't end well but it's better than the zoo to watch. Great vids
My wife calls it “Creeker Feet”. Named after the people that come up out of the creek with no shoes on to go to the convenient store. Their feet are so blackity.
The first guy keeps ending up in the same place every time he tries. It's like he doesn't realize that the back of the boat swings out opposite where the front goes.
All they gotta do is get a bumper dock where I live. We’re not allowed to power load in a bumper. Dock is a way to go and get yourself an off-road winch. It’s so much easier.
I've said this before:. Prior to the 1990s I knew next to nothing about boating. But, a friend of mine who grew up around boats bought a 31 foot Formula. He has a slip at Lake Powell. Not to brag, but I observed and learned, and I was trusted within hours to operate that vessel, learned the helm, etc. Pointing out my "captain" experience is in airplanes. But, a boat on water and an airplane are BOTH affected by wind and currents. Docking a boat (stable platform) and/or putting an airplane on the ground gives you a different level of control. Astonishing how some people don't get it! Adding, and airplanes operate in THREE dimensions!
Love the videos, this video was extremely painful to watch, yet entertaining. Was there any damage to the one boat? When is your dog/boating video coming out?
What really got me was that F150 launching that Angler boat during the pontoon fail. Fleet-trim base model with normal cab and short bed, with aftermarket wheels??? Florida is mind boggling
Guy in the red boat.. if you can not drive.. just give it more throttle.. that always helps... plus never have a rope handy & make sure the ropes are in knots..best way to store ropes.
that's so sad...makes me glad I live in Oklahoma. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have your lines prepared WAY before you enter the docks. We teach that to the point it's becomes automatic. Geez
had a friend in jamaica who had a 40 ft wooden sail boat with no engine. He could back it out the slip and park it on a dime using his sail. Never seen anything like it
Boat rentals should require some form of training or certification. In Washington State, and many other states, boat owners are required to take a course and possess a boater's card. Basically a driver's license for boats. However, rentals are exempt from requiring said boater's card. This makes no sense! I keep my distance from rental boats as much as possible. Too many people who rent boats have no clue what they're doing and have no business operating a boat.
Here in Kentucky they will rent you a house boat and turn you loose on the lake, even if your not qualified to operate a tricycle. How do I know, because I was tied up in a cove fishing in my pontoon and got hit by a 70 ft rental. I guarantee they don't let these assholes try to dock them when they return to the marina because they would destroy the docks.
@@henrywilliams1965 oh chit! Talk about a bad day! I carry full coverage insurance on my boat, as well as all of my vehicles, but if somebody fugs up my vintage 76 Apollo they might have an even worse day. It can't just be replaced.
In the UK, no charter company will charter you a boat unless you are qualified. Certificates must be provided and they will still hold a security deposit of £1,000 to £3,000, or more, depending the boat being chartered. Large sailing yachts will need to have a commercially endorsed skipper with qualified mate as minimum. Sailing may be tougher around the UK, I’m not sure, but we do get some horrendous weather and incredible tidal streams. So, stay well clear of the idiots that have no idea what they re doing, particularly if they’re heading in your direction😮 Stay safe out there 😊
I got to watch a brady white slide off the rollers because C.C. didn't set the latch at the bow of his boat to the trailer before he pulled out of the water. The 30 foot white fiber glass drag mark is still on the pavement.
I don't understand what the pluck people are thinking. I guess it's down to seat time. I'll admit that when I was a rookie, I chose a free launch with no wake zone and knocked my trim off my jetboat when a large boat went by. Hurt my feelings learned a lesson
I think "trying to help" one of these people docking their boat would be useless or turn into a confrontation. If they were open to learning they would have done some research or asked another boat owner to go out on the water with them a few times.

Spring line in Florida, is the line you do at the boat ramp in spring time, no to be confuse with aid docking lines at the mid section of the boat.

Thank you for the longer video. The content is awesome! Way better than, Miami Boat Ramp, channel.

Great stuff its all about boats
Why is people so afraid of getting wet. Sometimes you just got to get in pull the boat up with a rope I’ve done a lot in winds.
I used to launch, retrive my vessles by myself. Very few times anyone had a proper clue to help
So did the red top Regal do any damage to the other boat? Would have been wrong considering the other captain wasn’t aware.
I think "trying to help" one of these people docking their boat would be useless or turn into a confrontation. If they were open to learning they would have done some research or asked another boat owner to go out on the water with them a few times.
or take a boating course. So many available in Florida.
Awesome
Re: Pontoon struggles: Why didn't they just go to the other side of the dock? The cross wind would have helped them
He used more fuel docking than actually driving around.
Where exactly is this place,I want to come and watch
Painful to watch. Glad I wasn’t a passenger.
Ok i'm real curious about what you had to blur out on the side of the pontoon boat?
Thanks ccc
More video evidence that makes one wonder how humans managed to get to the top of the food chain.
I remember when I was 10 years old and it took me twice to figure out how to calculate the current, wind and which side of the dock to use......
For the first time i got bored and skipped the pontoon boat.
I miss the 90s, hell I miss the 80s more. lol
I call it "the fabulous 80's...back then the Dunlawton bridge was a draw bridge
Little blue pill....
Me: what is that a.....ahhhh 😆
