Blackpoint Marina Boat Ramp Swallows Full Landscape Truck (Chit Show)
Вставка

- The swamp swallower does it again another truck goes down at the boat ramp.To make matters more interesting Fred the Crocodile was going up and down the boat ramps stalking boaters and one very suspicious diver.
The truck in today's video was a commercial landscape truck that went down while full of tree debris.The truck slid down the slippery ramp while it was on park.
No boat ramp fails or Chit Show on this video but stay tuned for more boat crashes and craziness.
Host of Chit Show Alfred Montaner
Always amazes me how Fred is virtually invisible just 2 feet underwater. He came within 15 feet of me on the kayak about a year ago. The pucker factor was crazy. I didnt even wanna look in his direction. Lol
He is very hard to see.
But just below the surface, there's Fred waiting to take a bite outta Alfred! 🐊 😂
@@waltertx.6020 Fred has quietly sneaked up on Alfred more than once Too ! I guess he's sizing him up. :)
Um, which is, Fred, alligator or crocodile? Just curious...nothing against our host, Senor Alberto...
He's an American crocodile.
Thank you, SIR,
I thought that, alligator by the rounded front , snout (hope this is proper).
Whereas, a crocodile snout is tapered....
My wife and I just stopped by Black Point (SunTex) Marina on our way back from Cudjoe Key. It was quiet at the ramp - a windy Friday afternoon. The guard working the ramp was super polite and informative. I’ll bet they have a thankless job.
Funny That..I just home from my local boat ramp in Sydney Australia where a 4wd didn't stop going down the ramp and needed a recovery vehicle to pull it out. Get home and here is Alfred telling me the same thing happened there..LOL.
Hey, take a tape measure and measure the distance between pier posts. Then when Fred is along a pier, you can figure his length.
Hey, great idea!
Boss gonna be pissed he used the work truck to tow his boat and sank it....lol
the driver probably is the owner.
While it was full of trash 😂
Just another day at the ramp..
Thank you Alfred..
Meanwhile aunt Betty is on the phone why aren't the guys here yet to cut my lawn.
The landscaping truck driver just wanted to plant some water lilies to pretty up the launch ramp and boat dock area! 😂
On a more serious note, I feel sorry for the driver that this happened to! This big wrecker will charge a lot more for this vehicle recovery.
I hate to see the driver explain this to the boss
"Oh, THAT truck? Yeah, that's Fred's truck now."
Alfred and Fred chillin at the chit show, people mad at Alfred for exposing their lack of skills. Yet Fred is more than willing to eat all of them. Teamwork makes the dream work. Get with Stu and get in some of those boats, maybe just a walkaround of the 1080.
That roadway wrecker is super slow. I bet that diver was thinking 🤔, does this due knows what he’s doing.
That divers is bubbling his head around like I did back when I was a kid in the bathtub. This is one of the most ridiculous recoveries I’ve ever seen.
Tow guy milked this job to the hilt, back up to the job and pull it out already.
@@waaterski an hour is an hour, nobody charges less than an hour. And the recovery is a separate charge from the tow charge. But you can be sure the boat owner will break out another thousand...
“Freddie the foot remover” is looooong!!!
I would NEVER stick my feet
in Freddie’s food bowl.
Love your funny humour
“ Alfreddie”.😂😂😂😂
Blub, blub, blub-a-dub-dub.
Dummy: Hey man you got it in park! It’s in park!
Professional Operator: I’ll just say nothing and let this dummy hop in this wet ass truck and think he is doing something. ( after he is out I’ll show him the drivetrain is locked up) LMAO
I always love seeing freds dinner walk into the water!🤣🤣🤣
Start from the beginning, but check out Fred's teeth at 1:11. this is the best video yet of Fred, the security guy who patrols his domain to keep people out of his water. It's so cool to see his legs - front legs just lazy in the water, back legs giving him a forward push every once in awhile, tail swishing like the dinosaur he is.
He's got a heck of an overbite, he should sing country songs.
@@TinShackVideos That over bite is the key reason he is definitely a croc. When Fred closes his mouth, some rear teeth still show, on Alligators, their upper jaw is a straight
line and covers all the teeth when he closes his mouth.
That was the longest recovery yet for something so simple.
No kidding. Why did the diver walk into the water empty-handed that was stupid
Longer it takes the more he gets paid
It’s called milking it so it will cost more!
Fred comes up for face time on the tube!!!! He's a super star !! Make t shirts !!!
Diver gets in the water
Fred: "this is what we train for, boys"
Fred: Wilma, I’ll stay on the surface to distract the stupid humans, and you go underwater like we practiced.
Why they let Crocs live in a place that public is beyond me. What's it going to take to get them "taken care of"? A politicians kid getting killed?
It's a coastal body of water. Thats like saying remove sharks from the beach. Plus removing a big alpha croc only invites other crocs to move in and fill the void.
@@joekaz5198 Swimming allowed ! No sharks at least ! :)
@@PayNoTaxes0GetNoVote The croc was there before the Humans, heah, I got an idea, what don't they remove the humans? :)
Fred looks huge and with amount of people use boat ramp I'm surprised Fred hasn't been removed to prevent any attacks
@burningfeet 53 Fred's only there bc of humans cleaning fish
In a video I watched last night a guy behind him was saying a croc had made it up to a lake further in land and had taken and harassed some pets so that one got relocated. I suspect Fred is more than content given the availability of fish scraps.
@Joe. Halo Garbarino thats why they post signs covers thier ass incase someone does get eaten. Gotta understand Florida has lots of dangerous wildlife, 5 of the deadliest snakes live here among many other critters. Florida is a swap, Yes its paradise wouldn't live anywhere else but with every blessing there are burdens.
@burningfeet 53 yea, seriously. What if its one of your loved ones? That croc gives zero fkks bout your feelings. Ive seen that same croc close to 10 years ago and its bout time they do something.
@@obZidianZ06 Write a strongly worded letter to your congressman, you'll know they got when you hear laughter.
One owner clean land scaping truck. Hurry this truck will go fast. This is the best Chit Show yet.
They need to put ridges in the concrete of the ramp so it wouldn't be so slick and so tires can get better grip. I live in texas and some of our boat ramps have ridges or asphalt.
I wait to see how other vehicles react to a ramp I'm not familiar with before i try launching my boat.
True. Just dumb and lazy of the park to not cut ridges in the concrete. It would help. I've seen videos where trucks just go sliding right into the water even though the parking brake is clearly on.
@@patrickmetcalf3866 That's good thinking, I also wait to see what ramp is best suited for my needs.
Muchachos si hacen eso ahí se le acaba la jugada todo este tipo de gente
Snorkel would have just been fine! It’s 2 feet of water
They like billing people for a diver. No need for all that recovery gear on most of these either.
I was thinking same thing. Gimme a $20 Harbor Freight tow strap and my 3/4 ton Suburban, I'd have it out before he had his mask on.
Edit: with armed protection for that stupid croc they won't kill.
I was thinkin if this was my rig I would have gotten my buddies to pull me out no need for a million dollar rig and the police especially a diver .wow
@@PayNoTaxes0GetNoVote This is mind-boggling overkill.
@@johnwilburn Maybe it’s a requirement.
That croc will outlive all of us.
All crocodile species have an average lifespan of at least 30-40 years, and in the case of larger species an average of 60-70 years
Fred is immortal.
That damn croc needs to be turned into shoes and wallets
When that croc eats someone's dog hes going to be on a hit list
ID go in with a spear gun and a bang stick
It kind of seems excessive to need a diver and giant rotator for that. Anybody could just go over there and hook it up. He is basically wading. And a medium sized conventional tow truck would be fine. No wonder insurance is so expensive.
In this instance, the diver wasn't using his regulator all the time, and was just holding his breath when he only needed to immerse his face briefly. But you never know in advance exactly what conditions you'll run into. Better to have the gear and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
also the weight of the water makes those vehicles alot heavier than normal
@@kylebedow531 They pulled it out in Park. Didn't you see how the back tire was turning backward or maybe you don't know what that means.
@@seikibrian8641 bet you he still got paid as if he was diving for the titanic
Also there's a crocodile 🐊
George was thinking of pivoting his business over to seascaping but it didn't work out.
You mean Jorge?
I've enjoyed finding your channel. I know it's the Chit Show and most of your content is comical and light-hearted. I like the fact that you had a lot of respect for the people doing the recovery and you were watching out for their safety. I just hope that diver gets paid enough for what he does.
The front bumper was probably ripped off in the first attempt of removal with the bosses other truck.
That was a really sweet landscaping rig! What a shame.
And those huge trucks are NOT cheap. It's a four door too. I've never seen those types in my neighborhood. They're always two door models.
Boss: Why aren't you out making deliveries today ?
Emp: Um, something came up, I was driving by the marina and the truck attached itself to a boat and they both went in the water...honest.
Deliveries it’s a landscaping truck notice the trees in back 🤣🤣
The owner probably figured with a load on the back he had enough traction to do this. I would never do this without 4 wheel drive and the incline of the ramp as well as the weight of the boat and trailer matter.
😂😂 only in Miami
I switched to this from the boat show 2022, your commentary was driving me crazy, WAIT FOR IT, IN THE HOUSE. I'm dying
Fred is an absolute UNIT!
Fred the croc is ginormous!! I can’t imagine dealing with that it’s nuts ..I’ll stick with Colorado river AZ..love your videos I just discovered you a week ago and I’m hooked !!
On every vehicules theres a park release.
On cars its like the guy said, theres usually a little hole cover, pretty small that you pop open and stick a key in to release the shifter lock and be able to put it in N.
However, on trucks, in 80% of models you gotta go under the truck and on the tranny or near it you'll have the release.
Every vehicule has a release. Finding it sometimes can be the challenge and unfortunately manufacturers dont tell you there is one or where it is.
Every tow driver should know about the shift releases. But if you have the tow boss that doesn't know anything about cars, he won't teach it to others.
All that to say they all have a release. A literal 10 second google search could've told you on the spot. Then again, tow dude probly doesn't give 2 F about it and truck is most likely totaled like my man said.
Truck is a total loss. And the recovery driver will NOT get under the truck on a slick ramp while it's only held by a winch to save a scrap drive train. In three days anything that is completely flushed will be a corroded lump,
Love the picture in picture. It's like watching the old show 24. All we need are the music and sound fx for tension.
Damm, Fred must be close to 12'! Great work! The Chit show delivers again! I think that landscaper is out of the running for employee of the year.
Fred the croc is 12 to 14 feet long. He hangs that body of water because of the free food he gets from the cleaning Table right by the Freedom Boats. Fred is not alone as there is
about 2 or 3 crocs in that area plus 2 or 3 manatees.
I am praying for the Diver, please God keep him safe N.J.watching on the edge of my sofa🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Fred be like, "This is my good side. I'm ready for my close-up."
When they bring a rotator truck, the bill is gonna be extra 'spensive!
Or a diver for three feet of water.
A truck like that doesn't even roll to the location for less than $600. Then the hourly rate starts when it arrives
A 50 ton would have been able to do this I'm sure
Not a rotator. Just side pull winches
My bad, I see now it is a rotator. Badass
Why did bro come in a full scuba diving suit to wade in 3 feet of water
@Antonio Montana I read the reply hoping you had THE answer. And I guess you probably do !
Safety! With a submerged vehicle there is a strong possibility of fluids in the water which could be caustic to the skin. He did have to dive under the truck a little to hook up the J hooks.
It's ramp and quickly goes deep, then a drop-off.
The Full gear is Standard Operating Procedure for any Divers from the Miami/Dade Police to go by.
@antoniomontana4480❤
Well, I must say, I’ve never heard that one one before “Press the like button because the wrecker driver had to drive a long way”😆👍
Loved the split screen action video with the crocodile!!! Great work
You should've yelled godzilla vs kong and jumped on Fred's back.🤣
God I miss Dade county. I'm drawn to the ocean; I can't explain it. I love that "tow" truck - that one prints money.
We had "Ol Girl" at Mary Walker Marina. She was there for 50 years. Never hurt anybody. But someone heard about her and filled a gator ticket with her. She was 13.5 foot long. Could've peacefully lived there for another 50 years
Sounds typical of a human.. hunters r mostly scum. Like farmers

As he's eating a T-bone that fell from a tree.
@@peterlanum 🤣
I hope you get it on camera the day Fred grabs a hold of someone. 😂
I seriously don't think Fred will do that, he's trained hhimself to stay away from humans, he likes to stay right there where there is "free" food !
Rotator Truck - can left and haul very large loads. Cost of truck one million plus and then add chains, tow items, cones, etc. Call out to a scene is a minimum of $900 to $1200 Dollars. :-)
Try about a half million...
If you buy polarized sunglasses and temporarily put them in front of your camera lens, it will see straight through the reflection at Fred. Cheap and effective. They also make polarizing filters to screw on the front of any good camera lens. If they want to be safe entering the water, they should buy a fish or two, cut it up and have you feed Fred a piece every 30 seconds to a minute over at his feeding station. Even Fred can't be in two places at once.
Having the rotator was just overkill.
This could have been done quicker and cheaper with a regular recovery truck.
I'm guessing that Rotator is at least $250 p/h more than a regular truck.
4x4 truck maybe 2 trucks tied together and a guy with a swim suit on would just cost a case of beer.
Those trucks don't go on the road for less than 600.00 an hour, and the time starts when they arrive to the call.
@@SaltyNationalist: You forgot to mention call out fees +every mile +hook up fees, and of course those ass holes will do whatever they can to bring the bill to the skys.
@@kthekeeper5117
Well, we all know everybody has to make a living. But the fees, charges and surcharges for stupid shit are astronomical..
Lol. I just hope he/they had good insurance is all I have to say..
✌😄Have a great day..
@@rvdogfl My thoughts
I've got to admit without this man's dedication to the camera we would miss a whole lot of boat ramp craziness ✌️🤟
That tow truck driver is completely clueless ! Has no business operating that rig
Hector:
Oyay Jose, wanna go out on de boat today??
Hector's Boss:
Jour eFired...🤣🤣🤣
I haven't seen it mentioned, but I'm curious of how the landscape truck got so damaged in the front and the driver's door before the big tow truck came. Makes me think another tow truck or other truck tried doing the job and failed miserably.
I also find it amazing how many keyboard Commando Towing experts came out of the woodwork to comment on this video.
I never realized Fred was so big! I have seen video of yours with him in it but I never noticed!!
I have now watched further on into the video and see this is your first time seeing him that close too! He is a tank!
Tow driver set up way to close from the start. If he set up where the trucks park he could have pulled the whole mess out with one hookup. Would have pulled at a better angle too.
He is paid by the hour and it takes him longer to do it that way
And they need a professional diver to go three feet deep in the water.
I agree with you on this. Ive done heavy recovery as well and really dont understand why he took out the rotator, he could have just backed up in front of the Isuzu, used his regular boom with cable extended and pulled him out without all the hoopla. As far as the truck being a total loss, diesels are a little more forgiving than a gas engine. The fuel tank was full, you can see al the fuel on the water surface. Pull the head off the engine and flush the valves with oil. Same for the tranny, drop the pan, flush the system with oil.
When I drove a class 8 wrecker, guys that were wreckmaster certified use to tell me that they gets a whole lot of extra money for using that rotator.
@@donsgotmoney The engine isn't the issue, tbh. It's salt water. That's going to mess up computers, sensors and corrode electrical connections wherever they were submerged. It'll cause hassles forever. Not worth the bother trying to save it as a vehicle, better to salvage for mechanical parts that can be properly cleaned.
For sale Super clean landscape truck with alligator seat cushions!😂😂😂😂
I drove tow trucks for a while and that's why I'm being sarcastic. That's the wrong way to hook up. One hook and do the whole job. 15 to 20min. all together.
"Bloop, bloop, bloop" & Fred The Crock, what a combo!
Lots of stuff sinking at that marina lately - Thx for filming it for us! 👍
He is big but still little compared to the behemoths found in Australia. He's just waiting for a free meal. Now, if you fell in, that would truly be a Chit show...😂
That's why you're always important to set the emergency brake. And make sure your emergency brake works before you try to launch a trailer. If it's an automatic never rely on the parking gear. And make sure that you have good tires
WHAT!!!! Do you realize the emergency brake only locks the rear wheels? And that the rear wheels are filled with air and float, allowing the tyres to slide down the ramp. Sit in the vehicle with your foot on the brake so the front wheels are locked, or use a chock under the front wheels. And dont back the boat off the trailer if the winch is still attached,,,,,the boat becomes the tow truck ::)
@@enricoderojassarson5596 yes I do realize. I've been back in boats over the past 30 years on bigger, steeper and way more crappier ramps than that and I've never lost a truck or a boat boats.
The guy had a full load in the back of the truck. What a moron. Then with the boat and the trailer I find it hard to believe that people that's too I think it was an insurance job too. Put all that debris in the back just to make it look good
Terrific cam work and luv the pbp detailed reporting . 👏👍👍
Legend has it the diver wears the same gear in the shower... If the police are handling your recovery you better bet it's going to be expensive AF
The Police do all the diving at the Docks. Very unionized also. Notice, the Tow operator is not allowed in the water.
Alfred, well done, from a Montanan ! Montaner,,❤
you know your doing it right when the diver is in the water like an hour waiting
Da Chit-Show must go on!
A 50 ton rotator for an 4 ton truck? They could have pulled that out with a 4 wheel drive dually. That tow owner was like $$$. They are generally charged out around $1k an hour.
He really hustled too 🙄
If the landscapers truck hadn’t been sunk then no tow truck would have been needed. So…the boat launchers fault. He should have gone to jail for reckless driving, got off easy with a big tow bill and a totaled work vehicle.
So the truck is called a 50-70 ton Rotator Recovery Vehicle. Not sure what the ‘load’ would be with the added weight, but that recovery vehicle could pull it out, lift it up and shake it dry!
I’ve never seen such disaster at a boat ramp .🤦🏼♂️
Good shot ...I am from Vermont an never sean one sit on the bottom then come up,,Good work
Can’t imagine what that tow job+diver cost.
probably few thousands dollars
Im sorry, but Fred is just cool. He just eases around doing his thing and doesn't care what goes on around him. He's a cool dude !
i like the diver's dedication. He completely suited up for waist deep water ! :P
With tanks no less, anything to justify tax dollars getting burned.
It's S. O . P. for the Police Officer, no matter the depth.
3/2022…I love FRED. I hope he is okay. Haven’t seen him on your channel in a while!
That is like the nicest landscaping truck I’ve ever seen. 😂
Very clean.
@@deconteesawyer5758 Just WASHED !
This is why you get a snorkel for your truck! LOL
Thanks for sharing Alfred 👍👍🐊
Are the ramps smooth or grooved? It appears to be smooth. Grooved ramps provides better traction. I was glad that the new ramps have grooves at the lake I go to.
🐊 Fred is getting ginormus!
What a mess at the boat ramp. Do they back in too far? It seems to happen more during low tide times. Damn nice boat!
Dang using a crane to pull it out?!😳
Great Job Alfred 👍🤟
Theirs a slippery algae tide line.
@@twinbee13monsterhunter Hi Captain, thanks 👍😊
King, get a polarizer filter for the water shots>>>> try one all the time...you may like it better...your welcome!!!
Fred- make sure you chew that scuba tank 32 times before you swallow!.
That would be a problem, Fred can't chew! He swallows wholly !
Fred looks well fed. I doubt that he would bother the diver.
Fred doesn't have Humans on his menu. because of his bad overbite, he only eats small things like birds, waterfowl and other small things. When a Human enters the water, Fred swims away. Have a nice day.
I love at the end some random dude tries to show the tow truck driver how to do his job and it backfires. Yeah quietly run away.
Alfred...That's an old name. Very cool. My Grandfather was a second Generation Alfred. I am 5th generation Joe. I have son and grand daughter that are both Joe/Josephine. Great Show.
Wow I really did not know we had saltwater crocs in the US! You've got a great show there brother! Thanks for the entertainment!
It's believed Florida is the only place in the world where crocodiles and gator coexist. I've lived here for over 30 years and have never seen a croc in the wild, they're pretty rare.
@@dani1i1i1i1 They generally prefer different environments(Gators like fresh water, crocs like salt), but they have been filmed sunning near one another with no aggression. It’s like they’re cousins just meeting up on occasion and being friendly, but not living in the same neighborhood
What we have at BlackPoint Marina is a American Crocodile. If you go to Wikipedia, put in American Crocodile and it will tell ya all about him, they even have a section on Florida.!
@@keithscudder7136 👍
I think it needed the higher angle of that truck's boom rather than a straight hook-up from a random truck, because of the angle of the ramp, and how low in the water the hook-up point on the submerged truck is.
Freds being a little sus this morning, alfred can you say " Sheeeeeesh"
Bro Fred is boss !!! Crazy how good they blend right with the water!!! I have nothing but respect for the croc’s and gators!!! That diver is a snack for Fred !!! Bro Fred has to be atleast ten foot and thousand pounds lol
i'm watching it from belgium :-)
Eating waffles I presume
@@daffyduck9901 with chocolate!
@@tim_peaky that's what I'm talking about 👍
Fred is not going to mess with that diver!
Seems a lot of overkill to pull a vehicle 25' or so from 3' water.....scuba gear?...I dunno
That truck is full of water and that stuff is over 8 lbs. a gallon.
I'm in and from Idaho and I've been watching and subscribed to a handful of these dock, boat, wave channels. I like to watch. I'm scared of the ocean. And lakes and really any body of water haha
It's actually good to know where Fred is because then you know exactly where he is rather than not knowing where he is
The irony of this channel’s success is the fact that the narrator/owner sounds like the biggest weekend warrior yahoo of the bunch. Advising the cops about how to approach the reptile. Then the guy will break character and be coherent for a bit, he’ll tell you about how insurance companies treat total immersion in seawater, offers recommendations about local restaurants etc but if someone chugs by him at idle speed and acknowledges him he slips right back into, “Brooooo! Yooo - hey wanna race me, want to fall into the water and I’ll tape it?! Yo hey Bro! Bro!! Haaay Bro!! Oh my god Bro! Bro did you see the water dinosaur Bro!?!
It’s a roller coaster with this fella.
great video , my first time watching your vid , from uk , it looks like that ramp needs some ridges on it , does fred ever come up the ramp when people are around ? how long do they actually grow to ? .
People no, but a small dog Barking is like the Dinner Bell ! He might make an exception for Alfred.
Fred knows that he is a celebrity.
That's why he just floats around so much ! :)
This is why when we launch driver stays in the vehicle at all times
Looks like a successful boat launch to me! Boats in the water and running!
Fred just chilling :)
I thought fred was going to get a pig to eat.😂😂😂😂 from Dundee Scotland.👍👍✌👊👊
I’m just curious as to why so many vehicles seem to end up in the drink at this location. Is it due to just complete incompetence by folks launching their boats or is there issues with the ramp itself that need to be addressed?
Thanks for the videos, great and informative stuff.
Damn, Fred is huge!
Sir, To answer you is it just takes one mistake then PANIC ! It's either the slippery ramps, not remembering to take all the straps off the boat, or just backing in to far. All you need to have happen is One mistake and Chit Happens ! :) BTW, Fred is still growing.......
I think the issue with the ramp is the location, Florida............
They go in to deep and the boat lifts the rear of the vehicle, then gravity takes over.
It's a shitty ramp. Too short and steep. Combine that with slippery algae on the waterline and below and it's like a skating rink.
I’ve just retired after 35+ years in the marine industry. Evinrude, OMC ALUMINUM BOAT GROUP, TRITON, GRESTLINER and the electronics side. I’ve towed and launched and retrieved boats from Minnesota to Florida. I can honestly say I have never ever seen so many inept boaters at one launch ramp. No seamanship skills, no ability to secure a boat at a dock except wrap a dock line around a stanchion two or three times. Evidently the marine dealers either don’t educate these knuckleheads or they are typical credit card captains with enough hubris to think they are great skippers. I cannot believe these skippers (they are certainly not Captains) ineptness and poor boat handling and docking. No wonder the show is called the Chit Show.
Looks like Fred’s Eaton’ good in the neighborhood!! 🐊
