Yow! Mostly competent! I think the Grady White driver may have been using asymmetric thrust. I'm shocked! Unheard of. Where, oh where did he ever learn that? And the first (or second?) using the mid-cleat? I'm truly impressed! Good video, B.G. My blood pressure stayed level throughout!
I have this issue on my 30' cruiser. Even without the anchor, the winch handle still comes in contact with the bow pulpit as you try to crank it up. It's 2 speed and they turn in opposite directions so I just switch back and forth so I'm pulling both ways. Between the ramp being steep and my boat/trailer being long, the winch post is pushed back towards the boat. Even once I get the boat all the way on tight against the bow stop, as soon as I pull out and the boat settles down on the trailer a 3" gap forms between the bow stop and the boat. The boat is way too heavy to leave the trailer shallower and pull up on the bunks. I can't lower the trailer winch because then it's below the height of the bow eye on the boat causing it to pull the bow down making it even harder to get it winched all the way up on the trailer. I need to drill another hole further towards the front of the trailer so I can move the winch post forward about 4", winch the boat on, then move the post back to it's original hole once I'm out of the water.
5:30 The J.D.G.A.F strolling on through, just not giving a fudge… 😅

Am i the only one that noticed the truck that was missing its box
I wonder if any of them can parallel park their cars?
In the first one, it doesn't help that the girl is walking all over the boat shifting weight around.
Never any fenders. Sigh....
Why would you care it's not your boat!
That's how they do it down there...for whatever reason.
