Agreed. I had never seen anything like it until I got transferred to Miami and took my boat there. How they don't have a dozen fatalities a weekend is one of life's mysteries.
Jumping in the bed doesn’t help, the bouncing will decompress the suspension which takes weight off the back tires, letting them slip, much better to just keep the weight as far back and not bounce up and down
Northern MN here...once the tires spin in snow you are done. Breaking the tires free loses traction and momentum. Don't spin the tires is always the best advice.
Then why when pulling my 19' Four Winns out I would light up the tires and get them hot like at the drag strip. That boat was twice the size of the S10 that I had. But experience counts. I could launch or load by myself in less than 5 minutes.
Need to get some wireless microphones mounted up on the poles on the docks so we can get audio. Living in New England, we all have 4 wheel drive, so getting stuck on a ramp does not happen. Lol
It amazes me with all the people standing on the docks, (all the time) and no one will help anyone with their boats. Must be a Florida thing. In Wisconsin, everyone helps everyone.
It amazes me how people don’t understand the basics of how the boat responds to inputs to the wheel and direction of the engines. They have enough money to buy these expensive boats but not enough humility to go for a delivery drive with a captain and take some pointers from him/her.
Glad they finally got that boat up the ramp. Hydro-Sport needed to ditch using his steering wheel and use his throttles to bring that boat into the dock. He needs to better hone his boat handling skills, especially around the dock.
@@fastwin493 if I had a heavy / lengthy multi engine boat I'd have it in a marina or a dry dock and not deal with the hassle of launching a big boat.

@@boldpredictionssports do you live in Florida? Florida is probably one of the top states where u need 4x4. Unless you live in one of the big cities like Orlando and Miami. But 90% of Florida is country terrain where you need 4x4. And this is coming from someone who lived in brutal winter places like New England and Illinois. For snow, all you need is good winter or all season tires. For mud and sand which is what you get in Florida, you need 4x4. I've never heard someone used flatness in a 4x4 argument.
I just bought a boat and was surprised by how bad I was at docking, especially in windy conditions and when there is a lot of traffic. I definitely need more practice.
I love you Florida boaters and your non 4x4 pick up trucks like wiping you butt before you poop makes no sense, Whats next? buying a Camaro with a V6 in it? lol
I have a question. Maybe it’s dumb one I am not sure. I am not a boater. I do love your videos though. On a slippery dock would it help if you had a few 5 gallon buckets of sand for weight in the back of your truck? Also would it help if one threw some sand under your tires if slipping? Thanks, I am just curious.
it never ceases to amaze me how many people with basic pickup trucks think ramping an 8000 pound boat is a simple ordeal just because on flat ground it tows fine smfh
It’s unfortunate too, I was raised on a boat so it comes to me easily and some people think it’s easy like driving a car but so many different variables especially with larger vessels. I’d love to see the CC people in this videos slip a real boat. I’d actually pay to watch it. We have a 32 luhrs that’s pretty beamy it’s a fun time docking in a tight slip with some stiff winds
When you’re diving a twin engine boat and your passengers have to push you off the docks, you should be in your backyard with a case of beer instead of pretending to “Captain”
Could have put a few buckets of sand in the bed for weight and to sand the ramp for traction. But where is a guy going to get sand in Flori-Duh anyway?
We always dropped one off at the dock, he/she went and got the trailer, while we backed the boat away from the dock and the ramp and got out of everybody's way. Then when the trailer showed up and was backing in to an open spot on the ramp, we approached and trailered. Actual time taking up a ramp spot never exceeded five minutes.
Why do people insist on bouncing the truck they lose traction when the truck bounces up. Either get a four-wheel drive or power it out with the motors on the boat.
Guys only fault I find is you allowed that guy to come assault you and walk away. But you’re professionals. I don’t think you should have allowed them to continue invading your personal space.
The sheer level of incompetence is breathtaking

Palm trees should have been a hint..
Buy a 200,000.00 boat and the cheapest vehicle to pull it if you are going to pull a boat you need a locker rear axle or a 4wheel drive
Truck was going sideways so most likely had a locker.
Everyone I know up here on the Chesapeake Bay that has a boat that large keeps it n a marina. If you can afford the boat you can afford the fees.

A cool trick that works most of the time is to apply the emergency brake slightly down. This helps prevent the tires from losing traction
you got that right
Boats don't have emergency brakes, sober up lady.
@@dr.mantistoboggan4746 But trucks do. Sober up my guy.
Doesn’t work with new electric parking brakes. They are either off or on.
@@shadowblade232 two strikes in one reply, nice job
“Why do we need 4WD?”
Me: “here, watch this 😂”
A little brake will split the power across the differential
Most of these boaters suffer from the too much boat and not enough skill syndrome
Couldn't have said it better myself!!
Sounds like this video is narrated by Maxwell Smart 😂
Take it to a trailer shop and have the tongue weight adjusted correctly.

The title of this video should be... "Idiots Own Boats Too!" haha
I rarely need it, but I have it! 4X4 baby!
Give it the beans....floor it!
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Also some of these guys need to buy those 4 wheeling tracks to throw in the bed.
Let’s tow a 12k boat with a light duty truck. Smart thinking. IMO if your gonna have a large boat 4wd is a must.
Air down those tires!
Just get 4wd even though u live in Florida and never need it except for the boat ramp. 😂
Wait what? Florida is like the one state I lived in where 4x4 is a must. At least in North Florida with the sugar sand.
@@elli0tbriggs sure you can find some needs but it's pretty flat. You don't need 4x4 to get to work or school.

Why these people don't have 4 wheel drive is beyond me. When you buy boats these sizes 4 wheel drive is a must.
I feel like if I was going to own a boat, a 4x4 is a requirement in my head.
Does bouncing in the back of truck really help? Seems like it would unload the tires and lose your benefit.
It absolutely does not help at all. Adding a few more people would help, though. Seemed to have been plenty around…
Put the weight in front of the drive tires
I knew the Hydra-Sports had no chance whatsoever when it was clear that Capn and crew had NO IDEA what the midships cleat was for!
I have a question. Maybe it’s dumb one I am not sure. I am not a boater.
I do love your videos though.
On a slippery dock would it help if you had a few 5 gallon buckets of sand for weight in the back of your truck?
Also would it help if one threw some sand under your tires if slipping?
Thanks, I am just curious.
sand on ground would make it more slippery i imagine but weight would help for sure
I used Crusher dust, both for weight and under the wheels.
Also standing on it gave the boat shoes some extra grip, ...
Is there a current at this ramp that makes approach difficult?
Yes
Do you ever think sometimes the water gets drunk also.....LOL!
it never ceases to amaze me how many people with basic pickup trucks think ramping an 8000 pound boat is a simple ordeal just because on flat ground it tows fine smfh
Living in the No East I thought all pick ups where 4 wheel drive.
Reason #1 to have a 4 wheel drive truck for your boat. It's my plan
Getting a modern truck with no 4x4? AWD? 4WD?
The Chevy trucks usually come with a limited slip ,that white one didn’t seem to have it or it wasn’t working
The Hydro Sports guy makes wanna punch in the chops.
If you're going to buy a big boat with twins, get a big enough truck to pull it out easily.
Watching this guy is like watching paint dry
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE!!!!
The F in Florida stands for flat. Until you need to pull your boat out.
Just need to get the boat from point A to point….we gonna have some fun!
people who buy boats should take an IQ test before their given the keys .

Try another dock, but wherever you go, there you are.
WOW! Some just don't get it.
This is how to convince the wife that you need a 4wd
She obviously didn't marry him for his boat skills
My gaze is always drawn to the design of those lamp posts. Is that to dissuade people from tying up to them?
Those are not light poles they are grasshoppers
If I owned a truck dealership in the Miami area, I would NEVER stock 4WD models. It's clear that the populace has NO IDEA what 4WD is for.
Bouncing in the bed of the truck doesn’t make it heavier. Grab some of those lookers-on to jump in!
4 wheel drive would solve the problem.
When you’re diving a twin engine boat and your passengers have to push you off the docks, you should be in your backyard with a case of beer instead of pretending to “Captain”
You have to know the GCWR. Got sand?
When you buy a 2 wheel drive pick up to haul at its max towing.
Next time im stateside im going too visit a ramp for a day of sheer free entertainment we don’t see this bollox going on in Europe
Not just the back you need people sitting in the front too
I didn't know it was even possible to buy a 2 wheel drive truck.
Bouncing up and down does not work the need more weight.
Could have put a few buckets of sand in the bed for weight and to sand the ramp for traction. But where is a guy going to get sand in Flori-Duh anyway?
I would sell my boat before I dealt with crowded ramps like that.
If your gonna have a boat that big you should probably get a truck with 4 wheel drive.
if those three stooges got out of the bed and pushed the truck they probably make it.
get a winch on the front end of the truck , hook around the palm tree, done.
Speaking of getting outta here we’re gonna get out of here as well ‼️‼️‼️‼️
chains are not hooked right either
keep front wheels straight.
The magnitude of incompetence here is staggering. Both crews just have no clue. It’s hard to watch these videos because they’re so painful.

Forgot to raise their motors back up
"Too much tow for the truck"
4WD. So Simple. It's there for a purpose.
The first scene shows how a person can have too much boat for their vehicle.
9:00 3 more human beings just standing on the dock if he needed more weight in the back of the pickup.
You need four by four to haul a boat
Ugg why did he wait and then use the left side lol
This is just painful to watch... Always interesting though!
Could you not throw some sand under the tires? ?
I have the same question.
Some people should not own a truck dealership.
Rather than jumping up and down, why not get off and push!?
He needs to learn how to use twin outboards.
For a boat that size with twins you gonna need at least a 2500, diesel preferably.
Not a chance, just 4x4.
Amazing how when he stopped cocking the front wheels to the lock he drove out. Not only that, jumping up and down is retarded.
This is hard to watch….wow haha
These trucks have four wheel drives for crying out loud

I don’t understand what the jumping in the tray is for…..more money than brains
Let’s buy a boat but not a truck with four-wheel-drive
The HYDRA-SPORTS guy is horrible. I find myself yelling WTF at my TV watching the incompetence.
They should stop with the bouncing. When they fly up in the air the truck loses traction.
There is definitely not enough weight on the tongue
traction control gets you stuck once again
Dude is driving a dud - ford
Should have bought the Ford F250 4X4
Chevy does looks beautiful tho
why not try 4 lo and ease it up. lots of tourqe.
I tend to associate “big truck” with low ability to drive.
Big Bubba walks in front of truck could have got in bed of truck
