Asking for help instead of getting mad and yelling at people is the best way to do this. We can all have a problem at some point no matter the experience level you have.
They have no common sense at alli would have took the trailer off the truck reposition the truck hook it back up and pull it right out and then back it up correctly it's just common sense
The real superstar was the wife. She stood calmly ready to help. Didn’t make anything worse for him and did her job on the boat when they got free. This is incredibly rare and should be celebrated and replicated.
I dropped my trailer wheels off the back of the boat ramp in low water ONCE! Took a couple of floor jacks, one I always take with me, and another to raise the wheels up even with the boat ramp, threw her in 4x4 and punched it. Hey, we all fug up sometimes. Even the best of us.
Yep. As a driver I always made certain that I never made "assumptions". Assumptions are the mother of all fk ups. Always get out and look if you you can't be 100% certain that you know what you think you know.
I saw a boat once try to launch without removing the rear trailer straps. The trailer floated with the boat. Wonder if you had connected the back of the boat to the trailer where the float point would have been? Maybe in far enough to push the boat and trailer over enough without damage?
Yes but he did not warn the other men. So the driver could have drive over his head. But then again nobody listened to him as you can see in the video.
A typical case of more haste less speed and not familiar with trailers😁 stubborn sob though 😂 all you needed was a truck with a winch on the other side of the ramp job done!He did good though he did not panic A lick of paint and job done👌
I think you had the point Cap'n. Back it in far enough to relaunch the boat, straighten up the trailer and reload. Especially with all the muscle standing around that could help push the boat off the trailer. But that never seemed to occur to anyone. Poor dude in the yellow shorts seemed to have a plan, but no one would listen to him.
This is exactly why i wear people out telling them to back up trailers in a straight line. I dont care how far you have to pull up, or how many times you have to pull up to get lined up, but get straight first, then back up.
Holy crap, doing the same thing and expecting different results. Any trucker would've had this straightened out!. Pull forward while cranking it to the right dude!😅
Next time you see this happen put the back hold downs on the boat to trailer then back in till the trailer floats and push it back onto the ramp then pull it out works everytime
Why can't you have a ramp without the "hole of death" built into it in the first place. Seems as there should be a barrier to prevent this at the very least. Also stay away from the edge truck driver.
@14 mins, just back the boat off the trailer at this point, the boat looks plenty wet enough for sure, or get another boat with a tow line and help pull the boat back off the trailer.
If people do not know how to unload and load a boat at a ramp then they do not need to own a damn boat. Just saying😂😂😂. Start with a small boat it anything wtf. New subscriber here. Great content. Keep up the hard work and great footage. Much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤.
With 6 wheels and a draw bar longer than the Titanic!!!! That trailer should be the easiest trailer in the world to reverse. Why don’t people practice with a little 6x4 box trailer🙈
People need to learn that everything pivots around the rear axle of the tow vehicle, not the towball. At 11:42 he should have given it a bit of right to give the trailer wheels a clearance angle on the top of the dock, instead of continuing left which means they going more right.
unhook with a strap on the trailer let the boat and trailer roll back into the water then pull your trailer out of the water hitch it back then recover your boat. IQ IN AMERICA HAS SANK PAST 95 WITH AN ENTITLED LAZINESS.
Is he in a 2500 or 3500 series truck? While a smaller one might do the job it still one heavy arse'd boat he's got out there & once he got too close, he would have needed to pull up/back dozens of times in short little moves to free the trailer from the clusterF#@K he got himself into here! Quagmire aside, no one got injured except for his pride.... good catch & that's about too big of a boat to be pulling around on the roads. I see huge boats near our Lake, no where near the ocean but they pull them on semi-trucks. Maybe a "4500" series is better? To each his own.... no one hurt, another great day
I've never owned a boat or launched one...but I will go out on a limb and suggest why didn't they let the boat back in the water and even let the trailer go deeper(with a long chain) and start all over?
I get trying to get close to the far side to let other people load, but fuck that, not risking that to damage my property just so another jerk can have more room.
Bunch of boat backers. No practicing, no pulling any other trailer with any other truck any other time. Just that rig. On that ramp. 12-20 times a year. When something out of the ordinary happens they are completely lost and/or don't have the precision to execute a plan. When I first started using a trailer I left it hooked up for 6 months and learned how to live with it. It was unloaded most of the time, so I might have gotten out a few times and drug the azz end over when I couldn't figure out how to undo the jam I got in.
What the heck was that a 6:14 a car/boat? That truck should be a 3/4 ton at a minimum. I like how everyone kept their cool during this and worked together to get things resolved. That was good to see.
Best idea get the boat off the trailer and have about four guys lift the trailer back up on the concrete. With triple axle trailer that's six wheels of flotation to help you float that trailer. My second thought is grab some of that concrete from the Eddie behind you and lay a few chunks down so those tires have something to climb up on but really the best ways to get that boat off the trailer which I now see they're doing
It always chops-my-seaweed when I see these well off people owning these expensive ass boats and skis, yet they don't have a clue how to to operate them. Can't even back a trailer in straight! Meanwhile, my poor ass is sitting here wishing in one hand and sh!t in the other, waiting on which one will fill up first.
With a crew that's so arrogant they couldn't help the driver reverse down one of the widest ramps I've ever seen. Has this driver got a guide dog or eyesight impairment ?
This is too obvious. Block the trailer tires, let tension off the truck and trailer. Use the trailer jack to get it off the truck. Use the truck to pull the front of the trailer a bit. Reattach to truck. Pull it on out. Problem solved before all the bs and confusion
One tire is dropped off the edge of the ramp. There's no pulling it sideways unless you can lift the tire over the edge of the ramp. The smartest option was what they did in the video. Drop the boat back off in the water and reposition the trailer
If able & enouff people with fenders.... he couldve tried to do less damage to the side of the boat by basically squishing & rolling fenders btwn the two, rather than the direct DOCK impact scraping the topside. Wouldve still scratched it, but not as bad. He woudve needed a lot of communication & people who know what theyre doing & can do what they re told.
Captain crunch you said on the video earlier you figured it out what did you figure out that the man behind the wheel was a full-blown idiot with 40 feet of docking space and he decides to go so close to the dock that’s basically he’s underneath the dock. All he had to do with so many men around was to disconnect the trailer from the truck and let it roll it self into the Water back the boat off and then pull back in the trailer.
First, what boat ramp has a ditch next to the dock. I like to back my trailer down next to the dock, maybe not that close but it probably slid in to the ditch so... At around the 15 min mark it they had the rear ties downs on they could have floated the trailer with the boat and slid the trailer away from the dock. I know, a bunch of Monday morning QB'n. Shit happens.
I agree completely looks like when they replaced the docks they tried to cut costs. Docks were clearly narrowed from what was originally there. There should be curbs installed with a ramp like that. Very poor design, lowest bidder isn’t always the way to go. Hope they didn’t have to pay to launch it there.
Why from the get-go didn’t they just round up some two by fours 2 x 6 something that you could take in wedge underneath those tires or at least the first one on the trailer and let it track on that and bring the trailer up if I was that guy that owned the boat and you finally get it out. I’d say everybody get in. We’re going home will start Fresh tomorrow 40 miles a boat ramp and you pick the edge. I got one word…… oops
Im sorry but if you cant back up a trailer wth are you even attempting this! You need a truck driver directing him and i mean a real truck driver with experience!
I've said it before The boating hobby has some of the dumbest people I have ever seen. First of all you get people with a big boat and a big truck and they don't know how to operate or drive either one of those they're used to riding a bicycle. They can't drive forward very well and they definitely cannot back up with a trailer attached. I have personally seen people by boats or fifth wheel RVs and drive from another state home and have no idea how to back up they only go forward and when they get home they can't back up into their driveway or put it in a storage facility. I've actually had to go and back people up into parking spaces for RVs and I have been paid at the boat ramp to back people's trailers up and pick their boats up because they can't do it. I would think before you buy these expensive boots and trucks and hook them together You learn how to drive. But this is so typical in the boating hobby This is you could see this at any ramp especially in Miami area
Asking for help instead of getting mad and yelling at people is the best way to do this. We can all have a problem at some point no matter the experience level you have.
Facts bruh I still be forget I g to do steps sometimes at the ramp
Stupid assholes holding everyone up I was next
OMG…let the boat off the trailer!! Disconnect trailer and pull trailer over a foot. So many easy solutions, but I wasn’t there😂
You must resist the urge to uncouple!! There is almost always a better way. 👍
They have no common sense at alli would have took the trailer off the truck reposition the truck hook it back up and pull it right out and then back it up correctly it's just common sense
It's nice to see everyone chipping in to help instead of fighting.
Hats off to the guy who went under the dock to stack rocks!
The real superstar was the wife. She stood calmly ready to help. Didn’t make anything worse for him and did her job on the boat when they got free. This is incredibly rare and should be celebrated and replicated.
I dropped my trailer wheels off the back of the boat ramp in low water ONCE! Took a couple of floor jacks, one I always take with me, and another to raise the wheels up even with the boat ramp, threw her in 4x4 and punched it. Hey, we all fug up sometimes. Even the best of us.
Think he needs to learn on a 20 or 30 year old 16' Glastron that's already beat up.
Im a truck driver we have a rule its called "get out and look" or G.O.A.L. holy geez
Yep. As a driver I always made certain that I never made "assumptions". Assumptions are the mother of all fk ups. Always get out and look if you you can't be 100% certain that you know what you think you know.
Jesus...did he get his driver's license in a cornflakes package or something
😅😅
Stop when it sounds expensive
Then we would have stopped when our spouse uttered the word "Boat" on that fateful day 56 payments ago. 😊
I saw a boat once try to launch without removing the rear trailer straps. The trailer floated with the boat. Wonder if you had connected the back of the boat to the trailer where the float point would have been? Maybe in far enough to push the boat and trailer over enough without damage?
That's a solution I would not have thought of.
Yellow shorts had the better plan with the rocks
Yes but he did not warn the other men. So the driver could have drive over his head.
But then again nobody listened to him as you can see in the video.
A typical case of more haste less speed and not familiar with trailers😁
stubborn sob though 😂 all you needed was a truck with a winch on the other side of the ramp job done!He did good though he did not panic

His spotter was definitely not doing his job.
Next time you see this happen put the back hold downs on the boat to trailer then back in till the trailer floats and push it back onto the ramp then pull it out works everytime
Pretty much Only guy with any sense in whole situation was ignored.. damn stack cpl rocks n be done.. or am I missing something.?
Just waiting for police to show up and say, “with your glassy eyes and slurred speech I’m seeing signs of impairment.” 😂
Why can't you have a ramp without the "hole of death" built into it in the first place. Seems as there should be a barrier to prevent this at the very least. Also stay away from the edge truck driver.
I enjoy watching from Canada .your the man great job brother
I'd get frustrated and try power braking the ass end over lol
This is where the Hummer would have worked out with the four-wheel steering😅❤
Another situation where a real man isn't afraid to ask,s for help.
@14 mins, just back the boat off the trailer at this point, the boat looks plenty wet enough for sure, or get another boat with a tow line and help pull the boat back off the trailer.

how to destroy trailer, damage boat and truck in one step. Maybe his truck's magic tailgate can help
Instead of just getting the boat off and reloading it 😂
Beautiful boat. Huge lack of experience. Drain plugs in?
I hate watching this!..out side of a crane, I can’t even guess, what to do
With 6 wheels and a draw bar longer than the Titanic!!!! That trailer should be the easiest trailer in the world to reverse.
Why don’t people practice with a little 6x4 box trailer🙈
He doesn't know how to back up a trailer, I wouldn't want to see him driving a boat, hahaha
That could have been so much worse if he kept going though
He had like 20 feet all for himself.
People need to learn that everything pivots around the rear axle of the tow vehicle, not the towball. At 11:42 he should have given it a bit of right to give the trailer wheels a clearance angle on the top of the dock, instead of continuing left which means they going more right.
Not that it has anything to do with what happened here, but I think this guy needs a heavier truck for that big ass boat.
unhook with a strap on the trailer let the boat and trailer roll back into the water then pull your trailer out of the water hitch it back then recover your boat.

oh it''s bad.
Is he in a 2500 or 3500 series truck? While a smaller one might do the job it still one heavy arse'd boat he's got

How did they get the selves into that situation on their way in? I thought they must have been putting the boat in, not taking it out.
All yall looked like clowns on this one.. he had it then lost it so fast 😂😅
Get another truck with a strap to hold the trailer. Reposition the towing truck and get it over with.
4 adult dummies 😂😂😂😂😂
I get trying to get close to the far side to let other people load, but fuck that, not risking that to damage my property just so another jerk can have more room.
50 yards of ramp and where does he go? Send him back to New Jersey.
Bunch of boat backers. No practicing, no pulling any other trailer with any other truck any other time. Just that rig. On that ramp. 12-20 times a year.

He could have walked the back of his truck but people dont drive an think 😂😂😂😂 11:39 ok they did it finally 😂
What the heck was that a 6:14 a car/boat?
That truck should be a 3/4 ton at a minimum. I like how everyone kept their cool during this and worked together to get things resolved. That was good to see.
Are they motivated sellers yet? lol

Why didn't they unload the dam boat and just pull the trailer out empty? WTF?
With a crew that's so arrogant they couldn't help the driver reverse down one of the widest ramps I've ever seen. Has this driver got a guide dog or eyesight impairment ?
Money doesn’t equal skill lol.
Before this happened a tracked winch base (pushes boat down trailer half way) needed to be invented? ;-)
Omg... this is so painful to watch...
Damn ROOKIE
Hey you can't park there. lol
should have just unhooked the trailer, let it slide into the water then retrieve it
How that even happen with all that room
I’ll stick with the FL guy.
This is too obvious. Block the trailer tires, let tension off the truck and trailer. Use the trailer jack to get it off the truck. Use the truck to pull the front of the trailer a bit. Reattach to truck. Pull it on out. Problem solved before all the bs and confusion
And likely snap one of the torsion axles...

If able & enouff people with fenders.... he couldve tried to do less damage to the side of the boat by basically squishing & rolling fenders btwn the two, rather than the direct DOCK impact scraping the topside. Wouldve still scratched it, but not as bad.
He woudve needed a lot of communication & people who know what theyre doing & can do what they re told.
You watched the video. Were the people he had, the kind of people he needed? I don't think so.
HOLY CRAP . WOW 😳 . Look at the damage he did to his boat. Guy's an idiot. His wife looked pissed .
Love to add these people should nt own anything that you have to put gas in. I bet they drive Subarus
Exactl6 why you do not get help from bystanders. Rhat could have been an easy fix but if things go wrong its better to cause your own damage
I disagree some. First move should have been to know your ramp.
First how on earth do you get in that position,second why was that ramp built lik that
Captain crunch you said on the video earlier you figured it out what did you figure out that the man behind the wheel was a full-blown idiot with 40 feet of docking space and he decides to go so close to the dock that’s basically he’s underneath the dock. All he had to do with so many men around was to disconnect the trailer from the truck and let it roll it self into the Water back the boat off and then pull back in the trailer.
Someone said take the boat off
Ah shit, that looks like its no fun
Drop the outdrive and back the tub off the trailer
Asking the Wankers behind the camera for help was like asking the Jockey wheel to steer the trailer LOL!
WAIT WAS THAT A CAR BOAT? AT 6:14?
They are jetski’s with a car like body on them.
First, what boat ramp has a ditch next to the dock. I like to back my trailer down next to the dock, maybe not that close but it probably slid in to the ditch so...
At around the 15 min mark it they had the rear ties downs on they could have floated the trailer with the boat and slid the trailer away from the dock.

Very poor design, lowest bidder isn’t always the way to go. Hope they didn’t have to pay to launch it there.
Absolutely agree with this. Just saying, I’ve never seen a huge ditch/drop like that next to a dock.
Why from the get-go didn’t they just round up some two by fours 2 x 6 something that you could take in wedge underneath those tires or at least the first one on the trailer and let it track on that and bring the trailer up if I was that guy that owned the boat and you finally get it out. I’d say everybody get in. We’re going home will start Fresh tomorrow 40 miles a boat ramp and you pick the edge. I got one word…… oops
Add useless short bed truck to the list.
Was that a floating car? I swear i seen a floating car in the background.
YES, I saw it too, TWICE
Damn!!!!sell your boat homie!!!
Look how wide that ramp is why would you be that close to the dock
AttaBoy
Ask him how he likes them venom power terra hunters lol
Uncouple trailer might work
Alot of inexperience going on there
All y'all must be the weirdest phrase ever 🤣😂 if you're not from there!
Hate to be “that” guy. But yall shoulda used all those rocks to leverage under the tires to roll back up onto the ramp.
At 16:30, that boat is more than enough in the water to launch it!! WTF?!
This must be texas
His family needs to intervene and require this person to take lessons In backing a trailer. How pitiful! 😮
thay need to go home put a for sale sign on boat
Needs a smaller boat to practice on or have competent friends….
Why don't you just get off the boat and try again? Now in the correct position, they raise it again😌
I would take the boat off
If your going to film why not also help a fellow boater out of that situation 😊
Oh CAWD!
Slow and easy every time work
Im sorry but if you cant back up a trailer wth are you even attempting this! You need a truck driver directing him and i mean a real truck driver with experience!
