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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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👌
@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.
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?
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!😅
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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❤❤❤.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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!
Stressful enough launching your boat now you got ppl like this guy recording all your mistakes to upload to youtube so a bunch of ppl in the comments can poke fun. Thank god my boat is in the marina and I don't have to use a boat ramp. Between all the drunks, stupid ppl, and ppl filming for youtube I think I will stay away from boat ramps.
All he had to do is turn his wheels to the left back that truck up until he got it back up off the doc and then finish turning his wheels to the right he would have had that boat and that trailer back in that water within 5 minutes I could have done it blindfolded
Never had a problem on or off the trailer i just dont understand how you get to this point...trailer in water on ramp truck not on ramp up on dock???? Wtf how? its straight back or straight forward, no turning! straight lines easy as fuxck!
WOMAN DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO BACK THE BOAT OFF THE TRAILER. THAT'S YOUR JOB IF YOU'RE JUST SITTING THERE... WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. HELLOOOOO??? wtf
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
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!
His spotter was definitely not doing his job.
OMG…let the boat off the trailer!! Disconnect trailer and pull trailer over a foot. So many easy solutions, but I wasn’t there😂
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.
Think he needs to learn on a 20 or 30 year old 16' Glastron that's already beat up.
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
Im a truck driver we have a rule its called "get out and look" or G.O.A.L. holy geez
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.

I enjoy watching from Canada .your the man great job brother
Another situation where a real man isn't afraid to ask,s for help.
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?
Just waiting for police to show up and say, “with your glassy eyes and slurred speech I’m seeing signs of impairment.” 😂
I'd get frustrated and try power braking the ass end over lol
Pretty much Only guy with any sense in whole situation was ignored.. damn stack cpl rocks n be done.. or am I missing something.?
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 hate watching this!..out side of a crane, I can’t even guess, what to do
That could have been so much worse if he kept going though
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!😅
Instead of just getting the boat off and reloading it 😂
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.
This is where the Hummer would have worked out with the four-wheel steering😅❤
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.
Jesus...did he get his driver's license in a cornflakes package or something
😅😅
He doesn't know how to back up a trailer, I wouldn't want to see him driving a boat, hahaha
Love to add these people should nt own anything that you have to put gas in. I bet they drive Subarus
He had like 20 feet all for himself.
Beautiful boat. Huge lack of experience. Drain plugs in?
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.

All yall looked like clowns on this one.. he had it then lost it so fast 😂😅
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.
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!

To each his own.... no one hurt, another great day
Omg... this is so painful to watch...
Get another truck with a strap to hold the trailer. Reposition the towing truck and get it over with.
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
Money doesn’t equal skill lol.
Ah shit, that looks like its no fun
Was that a floating car? I swear i seen a floating car in the background.
Damn ROOKIE
Hey you can't park there. lol
Are they motivated sellers yet? lol
I’ll stick with the FL guy.
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.
He could have walked the back of his truck but people dont drive an think 😂😂😂😂 11:39 ok they did it finally 😂
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.
how to destroy trailer, damage boat and truck in one step. Maybe his truck's magic tailgate can help
Someone said take the boat off
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
HOLY CRAP . WOW 😳 . Look at the damage he did to his boat. Guy's an idiot. His wife looked pissed .
Asking the Wankers behind the camera for help was like asking the Jockey wheel to steer the trailer LOL!
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.
I disagree some. First move should have been to know your ramp.
Before this happened a tracked winch base (pushes boat down trailer half way) needed to be invented? ;-)
First how on earth do you get in that position,second why was that ramp built lik that
Alot of inexperience going on there
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.
Absolutely agree with this. Just saying, I’ve never seen a huge ditch/drop like that next to a dock.
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...
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
Damn!!!!sell your boat homie!!!
At 16:30, that boat is more than enough in the water to launch it!! WTF?!
Look how wide that ramp is why would you be that close to the dock
All y'all must be the weirdest phrase ever 🤣😂 if you're not from there!
WAIT WAS THAT A CAR BOAT? AT 6:14?
They are jetski’s with a car like body on them.
Ask him how he likes them venom power terra hunters lol
Hate to be “that” guy. But yall shoulda used all those rocks to leverage under the tires to roll back up onto the ramp.
His family needs to intervene and require this person to take lessons In backing a trailer. How pitiful! 😮
Uncouple trailer might work
This must be texas
Why don't you just get off the boat and try again? Now in the correct position, they raise it again😌
Oh CAWD!
I would take the boat off
thay need to go home put a for sale sign on boat
If your going to film why not also help a fellow boater out of that situation 😊
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.

Slow and easy every time work
This is education video.
With old farmer Joe and dummy in charge-- Not Good
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!
Take the boat off
Stressful enough launching your boat now you got ppl like this guy recording all your mistakes to upload to youtube so a bunch of ppl in the comments can poke fun. Thank god my boat is in the marina and I don't have to use a boat ramp. Between all the drunks, stupid ppl, and ppl filming for youtube I think I will stay away from boat ramps.
Why was he trying to launch so close to the dock? Move over you had plenty of room.
Quite possibly the most boring video I've ever found.
All he had to do is turn his wheels to the left back that truck up until he got it back up off the doc and then finish turning his wheels to the right he would have had that boat and that trailer back in that water within 5 minutes I could have done it blindfolded
This is why I look our all the time these people just came across the bourder in a stolen boat
Never had a problem on or off the trailer i just dont understand how you get to this point...trailer in water on ramp truck not on ramp up on dock???? Wtf how? its straight back or straight forward, no turning! straight lines easy as fuxck!
Goof Alert !
WOMAN DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO BACK THE BOAT OFF THE TRAILER.
THAT'S YOUR JOB IF YOU'RE JUST SITTING THERE... WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.
HELLOOOOO??? wtf
Lol
