My favourite bit is how much your head changes shape at around the 3 minute mark onwards...
Lol!
Rod Reguez LMFAO
Good job mate you make it look so easy thank you very much 😅😊
I love it when you try to push the boat from the stern with the engine on 👌
In neutral so prop won’t be spinning obviously
It's not that dangerous.
His head is making me seasick lol !
Love your work mate Paul from Victoria keep the youtube coming thanks
Really appreciated that. Cheers. Very helpful!
I’ve got a queen tracks myself it’s a great motor and are used to have an even read but I’ve got a 15 Merc on it at the moment but personal preference which console boats is probably an early craft pop had an early craft 610 coastal with the 140 Suzuki and let me tell you that handled like better than any boat that I’ve driven and I’ve driven a few boats now and they’re all at multiple different brands so my recommendation is either Quinn tracks but most of all Ali craft
This video looks great
That's a good tip, of course if the wind is blowing lateral you may have a tussle, still even then it should work. I face a similar situation, no dock parallel to the boat when I put her in. But the other difference is pretty cold water and a steep drop off. What I just saw, which is pretty cool is a custom welded boarding ladder--welded to the trailer tongue. You back the boat down, get it very close to the float off point--be damn sure you have first emergency brake, backed up by park gear position--I put in a chock too. Then climb the tongue to the ladder, your weight insures the bow is pinned down as you mount the bow. Then back out normally, and never need to get wet. In warm conditions, that isn't needed but where I launch, it is a good idea. Then again, I do try to avoid boating alone whenever possible.
Thanks mate
Thought I was having acid flashbacks for a second.
Very good job 👍
How did you keep the boat from floating away while you parked the truck?
that's a ute. not a truck lol
I think I have been reversing the trailer in too far. This looks easier for sure
I’ve Ben unloading myself for years 😮
Wow! How light is that boat? How the hell can you winch it in with the trailer that far outta the water?
Oh my gosh!
Back to celluloid filmmaking!
😂
Background music to 11!!!
When he boarded from the rear I thought he struggled to get in. Too many beers 🍺 being carried at the mid section.
"And you won't have to go the gym". He may have to given his struggle to climb into the boat from the stern. Spare tyre got in the way there. Good video though!
Did he ever stop talking? Watched with the sound off, his mouth never stopped lol
The choice of music (noise) is horrible. You will drive more away than you will attract. Just saying......
shut the "music"off
no no no no. freespooling handle. put a painter on
There is nothing NOT logical about what he suggested.
What the?! So you leave an unsecured boat drifting into wherever why you go park the car and put your trailer lock on?!! No thanks
Mate… where did you get those googles??? You muppet!
What drugs should I take to improve the production values of this video?
About a gram of Fentanyl should do it
Yikes. No thanks
Are you nuts don't listen to this guy oh my gosh
Didn’t need the obnoxious soundtrack. I came here for the info.
Mark DiSciullo video is 7 years old dipshit
Pity people get so very, very critical when they don't like one thing about a video. I agree, I probably wouldn't walk around the back with the motor running (whether in gear or not), but other than that there are a few good tips here. First video I've found about launching solo where it's not a perfectly calm, windless day.
He couldn't have done such a smashing video without that techno music No Way Mate 😎
Very light boat! Almost as if you can just pick it up and simply walk it out of the water! Cheers from Boston MA
Thanks Mate! Great ADvice
Thanks mate, good info for us newbies.
Thanks Rob, More tips and tricks to come
Hey Darren thanks for the great tips excellent !!
wouldn't catch me entering the back while running.
Isaac Conley the prop isn't spinning
That's like saying the gun isn't loaded.
Shortly after making this video Carl chopper off his LEFT leg, now they call him " HOPPY ". His only regret is that he DIDN'T read the feedback comments. from Isaac Conley. LOL... I'm with you Isaac. :-)
ALL Strong u
You also should never walk behind the motor like that in shallow water - running or not. One good wave will pick that boat up and drop the prop right down on your leg or foot. A really good wave will push the boat on top of you and drag you under it. Dangerous practice all around.
Took me whole minute to realize he was speaking English. Lol.
AVALY T hahahaha
Great tips, Great video. Well done and Thanks.
Tnx Mate! I'll be launching on a rocky beach tomorrow morning in US Washington state HOOD CANAL peninsula .
straight to the point ...nice one mate!!
When you climb over the transom there is a good chance you'll put your foot weight onto the steering cable, cracking the outer cover.
Nice boat mate
Video had me checking my drink -_-
look at that... one hand.... next minute... 2 hands... lol... great video mate. cheers
Love your work mate.
i like the u dont have to go to the gym part lol good one mate if i was up your way id prob buy one from you
Rick Pick Rick we'd love you to buy one from us in anycase .... please feel free to call us
I read somewhere you are not to get near the propeller with the motor On. Only when the motor is switch off.
its fast an low on gas to, its will do the job well, good luck
All well and good with a self centering roller trailer. Standard bunkers are much more difficult to use. Also is this not an aluminum boat (much lighter than fiberglass or obviously wood).
I would strongly suggest he put a line on the boat in case the winch strap parts or otherwise fails.
Now, I favor bunkers basically because I've always used them. Why and are roller trailers better? It looks like the keel hits the trailer pretty good on some retrievals.
Fortunately I have a drive on trailer for my bass boat. I drop the tailgate on the truck unhook the strap and step onto the bow. To re-trailer just do the opposite. I never get my feet wet. windy or not. hot cold rain snow whatever.
slick trailer
"One hand, anyone can do it. Its just how you approach it. But when it gets tough, use two hands."
I put a 10,000 lbs wench on my Tracker And that thing is a beast
Did you record this with a potato ?
3:30
Nice video......
I think its a good video, however although the motor is in neutral,I would be a little apprehensive doing that, and its not easy for me as I have a bilateral knee replacement,it's the hardest thing I have to do is bring the boat back on the trailer,especially down here in Shoalhaven Heads we get a lot of N/East winds about 11:30., but I am working on making it easier by working on the trailer set up...after watching this a few times, I noticed that you did not have a cut out wrist strap,no life jacket...and that running motor????...a little Gang Ho for me, although taking the boat off and on is good, but as a previous Safety Officer many years ago I would have to fail you,no offence intended, but accidents do happen.
So that motor was in gear, correct? A few people might have issue with that as they may not be experienced as the chap in the video.
Good information just the same.
Im always worried my boat floats away while im parking the trailer
Oh boy! I like you! You realy face it!
I don't always trailer my boat with my bimini top up... but when I do, I film TH-cam videos.
That's Queensland I think I drove past u and saw the camera and the boat
Yep ..... we're in Caloundra
nice vid,the only thing i can fault in it is that you guys are not wearing your PFDs,lets promote safe boating out there.peace.
not on my boat...everybody wears them other wise they stay behind.
@@firestompa ewww glad I'm not on your boat what a pain
guys which brand of engine better mainer,jhonson,yamaha,evindrude or mercury.please don't care about my wrong spelling i am 7 years old.
getting a boat is on my mind...but i would like to know, would an Astro Van haul a boat?
Nothing wrong with what he did , when your on your own and its windy best thing to do is start the motor so you know it's going, nothing worse than pushing the boat out and then having trouble starting the motor with wind blowing you could end up on rocks or banging into another boat.
The only time I'm launching without a dock is when it's early fishing season and the water temps 36°. Show me how to do that without getting wet and I'll be impressed.
Trophy 205 Consider your challenge accepted ...... We'll come up with something for you
Darren, what's the going rate to change bearings at Caloundra Marine? And repairing rust. Why don't you explain to people that putting the bearings under will stuff the bearings / brakes / wheels? No matter how well you wash them. Most people won't know to check their bearings regularly so will end up standing by the highway wondering wtf went wrong when a trailer wheel falls off. Living the dream!
+Bruce Gillespie Good point Bruce .... We will do a video about that shortly
Thanks mate. I don't know if Quintrex have lifted their game. Last boat I bought had a Rex Hunt DVD showing new Quintrex owners how to drown a trailer.
(Love the videos btw. I'll be up for a new Busta soon.)
I think you should explain to people why the side rails on a Busta are so important too - i.e. so you can stand up in a seaway and not fall out of the boat. Not too many new buyers will understand that and the Busta is a much better boat with them.
I'm an Aussie boatie, but not all of us would do it this Crocodile Dundee / Steve Irwin way. I don't like my feet wet or the chance of the propeller slashing me. Interesting though.
There was a time when boat trailers had outriggers. Retrieving a boat from the beach was a doddle because the outriggers helped centre the boat. Should still have them today. Especially in queensland, where the government hates building good launch facilities.
Aussies love their Evinrudes like we like the Yammies. Did that guy just walk up the transom bare footed with the boat moving and motor running?
It wasn't in gear
Darren it's only a tinny...
I don't think it's going to make it to Fiji.....
And how long does it take for you to launch a boat?
Ashley Walford Those E-tecs are pretty efficient ..... we reckon you'd get there and have enough to go fishing :-)
NO ROPE to the Pier in case it just floats away!!!!! WOW!!!! Entering from the rear!!!!
It's safer to enter from behind and it's taught in Australia when you are learning for your boat licence.
Nice Ute. Can't see any trucks?
Well this looks real safe'' in the water at the rear of the boat, with the motor running and in gear'' LMFAO!
Pip Aussie We'd never put an engine in gear when someone is outside, You're right THATS no safe. If you watch closely Daz puts it in gear when he gets inside.
Are they four strokes, my dad said that there not
That boat looked supper light..no way I could unload in the shallow of water..but it is a cool boat
next minit crock grabs ya in the northern boat ramps ,entering through the back of the boat while running not for me,good trailer but
Most of us Canadians drive them on the trailer. We hate to get wet.
They sink the truck and the boat and 2 other pickups and 2 tractors. Lol
We are going
would not do this when water temp in low 40s and air n the 40s
I have the same trailer. My question is would it be able to retrieve the boat up off dry sand? Cheers.
MAGNU8 Yes .... but you use a different technique ... we will make a video on that subject really soon
'
this white truck can use a shift transmission -- N -- while backward to the water...
dont need to use a shift transmission -- R --
What model potato was used to film this
What song is this?
You should put the handle in neutral so it doesn't spin like a helicopter blade and take off someones face.
Jeff Fleischman it was you noob
I think this guy is a shape shifter
With an Evinrude on the back I would have expected him to change his top containing a Suzuki on his back.
I do not agree that a boat with an OUTBOARD or an OUTDRIVE at the back, is gutless. Far from it. In fact you have absolute control with an outboard/outdrive at the back as it goes where you steer it when going back. When going forward , unless one has a bow thruster, in the wind the bow will drop with the wind. Now with an inboard engine and normal rudder, true enough the boat is gutless, unless of course one has a bow thruster where when in reverse one could steer with the bow thruster.
With an inboard and a shaft drive I often use reverse and to correct I go ahead in bursts with the right rudder application and then back to reverse. It works and it is not gutless at all. With Twin inboard engines one can go sideways too applying a combination of reverse on one engine , and forward on the other with a selection of rudder control. One has to concentrate but it can be done. Yes I did say SIDEWAYS.
If you were listening and watching the video closely you would have noticed when the driver was referring to "reversing" being gutless he was talking about the situation from 2:10 onwards, firstly, he is in very shallow water so the motor is trimmed to the point where only the water intake is submerged which leaves the engine tilted relatively high. Secondly, in that position forward thurst has more "bite" in the propeller due to the simple fact that the prop is grabbing water from infront as opposed to reverse which it would be grabbing BOTH water & AIR due to the fact its tilted skyward, hence in relation to his situation he correctly terms it "gutless".
Not until 3:35 does he indicate the engine is being trimmed down, and yes at that point a outboard is NOT gutless in reverse.
YouTurd well said :-)
Worst mistake you could possibly do is entering a boat while the motor is operating, especially if the propeller is spinning. Not trying to be rude or anything, i was just looking out for your safety :). All the best.
TopPredator Beast You are right ..... if you look closely Daz gets in the boat and THEN puts it in gear .... That is perfectly safe
What about for a 3200lb boat
That's a lovely accent. Let me guess, New Jersey?
bighum70 No mate ... we're Aussies
You oughtta be special if you think he was from New Jersey...
He did say " Pawk the caw". That sounds New Jersey.
South Africaaan maybe mate.
Definitely not!
Thought you left foot was a gonner. Your routine works for you mate apart from nearly loosing a foot
Is this guys head morphing??
How about doing a video of how to Launch your boat by yourself but with out getting WET LOL

Good way to get your leg cut off....
