What they need to do is just watch other boaters. Better yet, they should subscribe to your channel and watch and learn. 😂 They make it so much harder than it needs to be.
Yep! That’s what I did with my son when he was 16. If you can randomly choose a parking stale and back in between the white lines ( harder than if you have two objects to park in between) you’re golden. You’ll be able to park anywhere using your two mirrors.
At 21:44 when she gets out of vehicle and says “you don’t want me to try and straighten up”, I lost it. My stomach muscles are sore now……laughed hard 😂
there is something deeply satisfying watching this...I have a small boat and very liteweight trailer and I look like two monkeys humping a football trying to back it up :):)....glad to see I am not alone
U-know Dan I taught my Daughter to back a trailer in the driveway at home, she got really good at it too. (a small 8X5 utility trailer) Just a small tip from an old goat, (1). learn to use your mirrors. (2). If the trailer tail fades right turn right, if the tail fades left, turn left. Hope this helps someone.
I've always told people keep your hands on the bottom of the steering wheel back up slowly if you want the trailer to go to the right move your right hand if left left hand easy peasy my wife backs out boat up like a pro
That big sportfisher is really nice!!! The jet boat ladies really struggle, but hey, it takes practice. I learned to back a trailer at 15 years old when I got a Hobie 14. To their defense, short wheel base vehicles and short trailers are a challenge. The slightest turn will change your angle. Slow and steady wins the race. 😂
Hey Big Dan, new viewer!! Your 'show' is fantastic!! Man, it's entertaining and if new boaters pay attention, it's educational. I gave my helm seat to my Son awhile back. We started out with a 15' Procraft, that's where he learned to pilot a boat, back up a trailer and studied and memorized watercraft rules and laws. We went all the way up to a 38' Scarab when we moved to Florida. Now he has a 21' Ranger. I really wish there was a show like yours back when my Son started. Your show would have been required watching!!! Enjoy your show so much. My Son is watching you too....... Sgt Dan .... USA-Retired April 1969
Hey Dan. Love your show! I’m a 60 year old woman & I have always backed my boat in & trailered it! My hubby is awful at it! It’s not rocket science & has nothing to do with men vs women. No physical strength needed. I’ve been boating & fishin since I was 5 years old. These “Yo-Yo’s” that can’t back & trailer a boat ..shouldn’t own a boat! Morons!! Keep up the good work!
My mom was the one that brought our '17 foot Whaler wherever we went. My dad would get off work and she'd be at the dock loaded and ready to go with us 3 boys. She was Wonder woman in our eyes. And as tiny as she was, 4'10" she could do what most men could do and better. Later we got a 21 footer and she was definitely the captain, my dad was just the first mate, lol.
@@howaboutnowdad4582if you took 10 men and 10 women and asked them to back a trailer…. At least 7 men could do it, and maybe 4 women. It’s not sexist, men just happen to do it more often. Facts.
@@chubbrock659 however you would like to justify your thinking. Go right ahead and do that. You’re just outing yourself lmao But please site your study. Oh wait you’re playing feels VS real. Loser
Nice boat ramp facility ! A lot depends on how well you setup your trailer to accept the type of boat or pontoon you have ! It can save you a lot of headaches from your inabilities and make you look more like a pro . Lol
An old trick that I learned about backing a trailer as a kid…put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Move your hand left to back left and move your hand right to back right. It’s easy and it works.
That's how I was taught to back gooseneck hay trailers into hay barns with 1' of clearance on each side when you got it centered. It is the easiest way to learn by far.
So you sit there with your I phone and criticize people having trouble launching or loading their boats,who the hell do you think you are? Get a life man or at least your own boat,this is weak
I float around on a Doral Prestancia 30-foot express cruiser for 7-12 days at a time over the 3 big summer holidays... My happy place. Solo launch/retrieve it most of the time faster than it takes these folks just to back their trailer in.
He wouldn't make a dime because every one of these people could've just searched UA-cam and educated themselves for free, but they don't because their arrogance blinds them of their ignorance. They let their egos get in the way of common sense.
It took me a while to find the launch that you're filming at because Google hasn't updated their satellite view to show the ramp fully constructed. And re: your question at 27:32, I have a 17.5 foot ProCraft bass boat, side console with a 115 Merc. Love your channel Dan. Keep it up!!
Outstanding new to the show but it’s very relaxing to watch. Look forward to the next one. Thank you for this one no yelling no screaming. Just a good video.
Hey Dan ..fun new drinking game..everytime a idiot backs in the water too crooked or not enough ..drink 8 Oz..u will have your water intake in no time!😂😂
As a person that backs in a bumper pull livestock trailer, this drives me nuts! I keep yelling, "Turn the wheels the other way." These people need to go to an empty parking lot or field and practice prior to going to the docks.
That right there..... is the only time i could walked up to those ladies and said..... looks like you've done this once or twice.... and left them wondering if i was complimenting them or putting them down. 😂😂😂
The prudent thing to do in that case would be to use an electric motor driven dolly/gantry to maneuver the boat and trailer not only into the driveway but also into the garage, where applicable.
Most times the trailers are tofar in the water. Completly submerge the trailer so the boards are wet then pull out to expose about almost 1/2 the trailer. Pontoon slides on smooth.
Running a 2022 Scout 240 Dorado hardtop with 300 Yamaha electronic power steering. Got rid of the Hurricane deck boat. Difference like night and day!!!!
It’s hard to watch these 2 ladies load this Seadoo boat!!!!!!! It’s actually pretty unbelievable to watch and to just imagine how they have lasted this long without running into another boat or dock!!! The whole backing up did pulling forward is just ridiculous and to turn your trailer into a submarine is just killing me!!!! What’s wrong with these ladies????? Holy Shit!!!!!
IF one puts their hand at the bottom of the vehicle steering wheel, then while backing, they may move their hand in the direction that they want the boat/trailer to go. Slow and steady wins the race. Once in straight, back trailer until top of fenders are at surface of water, but in every case... some part of the bunks should be above the water to ride up onto and center the boat without floating. I used to launch and retrieve in the Mississippi River, perpendicular to the current. That required crabbing onto the trailer at a controlled speed.
Hi mate that's one thing you don't see much here in Australia is pontoon boats i never thought of putting a motor on my lounge room. and taking it for a spin on the water regards Terry in Australia 😂
Those kids on the Sea-doo knew what they are doing. Spinning is the best way to stay in place with a jet boat/PWC. Mine is supposed to have a 'keep here' mode but it doesn't work very well.
When I was a kid my dad said to use the bunks and rollers as a guide, the front of the bunks should be above the eater or shallow enough that when you hit the trailer they guide the boat on. And never back in deep enough for the bow is under the winch roller
They definitely aren't old enough to operate the jet skis legally! Just because they know how to operate them doesn't make it safe. They aren't strong enough to control them if they get in a bind and not mature eggnog to make sound rational decisions
Credit to the two ladies, they Don't give up, they kept on trying, and trying. Given time and a gentle word in the ear they may even get to be Ok at boating..
Man, that last boat reminds me of a Luhrs my neighbor had when I was a kid, that thing was huge! I spent a few weekends on it and felt so poor when I had to go home, lol. I remember his fuel bill was like half of my dad's annual salary. To this day I'm repulsed by that sort of wealth.
I actually suspect that you are envious (covetous heart) which in turn leads you to be "repulsed" because you dont have what they have! You harbor hate in your heart which is like murder to God. God has told us in His word that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. People work dang long and hard to be successful. I guess that is foreign to you. Stupid simple minded people dont have what it takes to be wealthy so instead of bettering themselves, they hate those who do! The wealthy guy was generous to you and your family by taking you out on his boat for a few weeks and this is how you repay him by back biting him decades later? His generosity to YOU and your poor dad is repulsive to you? If a man or woman earns their money honestly and pay their taxes ,I dont see how you can be repulsed by their wealth. You should be happy for them ! Btw, did you know poor people like you can be guilty of loving money? Do you even care that you are living in sin? @The Big Dan Show why did you like his hate filled comment?
I've been boating for 40 years and pontoons can be a pain but most people keep them in gear too long. Just kick into neutral and steer it, it works a lot better than staying under power. Love your videos and your commentating. 60% of boaters are idiots but they sure are fun to watch and make fun of. I always said you should have to take a trailer backing test before getting a boat and seems they may need a trailer loading test on top of that.
@@KCWhoa Only jet boats won't steer without throttle but most everything else will. I take my bass boat out of gear 30 feet before I get to the trailer and steer it right up there. When I hit the bunks I put it back in gear and give it the gas to get up on the winch roller.
@@KCWhoa, as long as there is momentum the ''rudder'' part of an outboard will steer the boat. Most jet boat engines don't have rudders, as far as I know, so they won't do that.
I watch these videos of people with their “shorty” pontoon boats and I giggle at the thought of them trying to trailer my 27’ pontoon houseboat. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Pontoon Boats are really difficult in the wind & most of the older ones have poorly designed trailers....lmao, most didn't have guides either but that's starting to change. No guides, any wind, & lack of practice = You'll make High Marks on de Big Dan Show !! Ya'll come on down
18:42 she backs in like most truck drivers! Back and forth without turning the steering wheel expecting the trailer to end up in the right place on its own
Stop hitting on women drivers. I backed in and loaded my ski Nautique by MYSELF many times with no problems for 8 years and then a fully enclosed 30 foot pontoon for 5 years successfully as well. I did fly a small flag on the pontoon for wind direction to help me navigate with or against the wind. Women can do just as good. But.......love your show......my favorite past time was always floating near the ramps just to watch the people launch. Always something to laugh at. Bless their hearts, takes practice. But love your show and your family. Glad yall enjoy watching together.❤
I think the struggles with pontoons is the same reason v hulls struggle. These Captains simply don't pay attention to where the motor is pointed before they hit the gas. If you watch the they'll correct then before centering the motor again they hit the gas and screw up what they just tried to fix. Rinse, repeat.
I had an interesting session at the launch this afternoon. After fishing for a few hours, I made it back to the launch, which doesn't have a dock, just a concrete wall and nowhere to tie up. I put down my power pole to hold position while I back the trailer down the ramp. Surprise! the little breeze had some fun with my boat, swinging it around across the single lane ramp. So I had to put on my water shoes and get wet to push it out of the way so I could get the trailer down. 3 minutes later, safe and sound on the trailer and gone up to the street to unload and secure everything for the 2 hour trip home.
So the biggest issue with Pontoons while docking is wind. When I had my pontoon I always made sure to put the Bimini down before trying to load. That made things so much easier.
What they need to do is just watch other boaters. Better yet, they should subscribe to your channel and watch and learn. 😂 They make it so much harder than it needs to be.
The reason they failed is because they are too smart to learn from someone else. Most of them close their brains to suggestions.
For anyone who struggles with backing trailers.
Just take it to an empty parking lot and practice.
Practicing with set lines / cones will really help.
That’s what my twin brother would do in the off season, he got better and better at it (especially when he would practice at the boat launch).
It also helps to steer with your hand at the bottom of the wheel. That way, you don’t have to think backwards.
Yep! That’s what I did with my son when he was 16. If you can randomly choose a parking stale and back in between the white lines ( harder than if you have two objects to park in between) you’re golden. You’ll be able to park anywhere using your two mirrors.
Practicing is for dummies, they think.
Oh irony.
At 21:44 when she gets out of vehicle and says “you don’t want me to try and straighten up”, I lost it. My stomach muscles are sore now……laughed hard 😂
Same 😆😆😆
Please no, you’re already too straight!
Yeah not much was straight about that whole situation
OMG those two are the epitome of "We don't need no man!" when clearly they really, really do.
You just gotta admire the persistence and determination of those two ladies to 'enjoy' their boating experience.
😄😂😂
Agreed but what if they decide to launch on a busy day? That ramp would be closed for what feels like forever!! But 2 👍 for their tenacity! 24:57
I like how Jelly Roll's Lost Cause was playing in the background when the Jeep girls were fumbling around Lol!
I love how excited you got when you saw the Jeep 🤣
🎶 Beep Beep 🎶 "Drone is going up!"
If I struggled that much with a boat, I wouldn't own a boat.
RIGHT JUST GRAB YOUR CELL AND RECORD FROM THE DOCK NEXT TO THIS GUY BITCHING ABOUT BOATERS ALL DAY LONG THATS LIVING THE DREAM
They have to have a nervous breakdown everytime they think about putting the boat on the trailer,dang 😂😂😂
No one is perfect, nether are You I bet, plus everyone has to learn to do it they just want to enjoy the water....

How do they park in their driveway…id love to be a neighbor 🍿
At the end of the day I was usually the one bringing in boats because no one else was sober enough!! I became everyone’s captain! 😂

That is a sweet boat launch out that way. Had to go and find it on google. Sure wish we had a nice place like that.
you need to set up one of those Olympic gymnast scorekeeper things, so you can give each boater a score.
I think pontoons are harder because they are like empty beer cans in water, any little wave or wind and they get blown around.
Definitely. I’ve ridden in those on one of the lakes near my home.
Nice boat ramp facility !

The prudent thing to do in that case would be to use an electric motor driven dolly/gantry to maneuver the boat and trailer not only into the driveway but also into the garage, where applicable.
I like that she pulls so far out to straighten it. It's difficult to watch because it really isn't that hard.

I put down my power pole to hold position while I back the trailer down the ramp. Surprise! the little breeze had some fun with my boat, swinging it around across the single lane ramp. So I had to put on my water shoes and get wet to push it out of the way so I could get the trailer down. 3 minutes later, safe and sound on the trailer and gone up to the street to unload and secure everything for the 2 hour trip home.
Ah man. You ll have that
Here in Kentucky we have rather small lakes to fish. I have a 2015 pro team 190 Bass Tracker. Joe

So the biggest issue with Pontoons while docking is wind. When I had my pontoon I always made sure to put the Bimini down before trying to load. That made things so much easier.
Yessss! 🙃
