Awesome!! Congrats on your purchase. Inboard boats are amazing 🤩. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Any questions you have leave in the comments. I’ll do my best to answer them 👌.
There are a number of videos out there discussing docking wake boats, but with your camera angles such as watching from a drone with an in picture video of what you are doing with the controls, I have found yours to be the most helpful. I also love details you provide without making the videos excessively long. I have searched quite a bit and have never found a video discussing how to approach complicated tasks such as docking when dealing with wind/current. I would love to see a video about how you approach various environments when the wind/current doesn’t allow for you to do the textbook technique. An example I am currently struggling with is going down a relatively narrow channel and then having to turn 90 degrees starboard when the wind hitting you directly from starboard to port. The boat just doesn’t want to turn very well in the room I have available. I have considered making a 270 degree turn (turning to port initially) so that I can use the prop wash in reverse to help get the boat around in the tight channel. I would love to see a video dealing with these sorts of problems.
Thanks for the input. I appreciate your feedback. I can’t promise anything, but I’ll see what I can do. One problem I fall into is trying to film in bad weather. It becomes difficult to get done shots in excessive wind, etc. Have a great day.
Great video! One memory I have I’ll never forget was picking up my buddys boat at end of day at lake havasu. There was literally a huge crowd watching everyone cheering and booing the boaters retrieving their boats. And of course I got the lane against a wall in the dark. We nailed it he drove on smoothly and I backed trailer down steep ramp. (There was like 8 lanes) but man launching and retrieving was stressful as a rookie back then! Lol.
Great video! One note to check your local laws and ramp rules about power loading. In some states (like NH), it's illegal at most public ramps also can just be risky if you have a gravel or rock ramp
Great video. The one thing I would mention when loading any boat on the trailer is make sure you trim up the engine. I've lost count of how many times I've seen folks drag their engine(s) on the ramp ☹️
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is a tricky thing (driving a boat). Are you still enjoying your boat? Or has fall weather forced you to be done for the season?
LOL. I live in McCall and took our boat out from the Marina last week for the first time in the evening. I would have gotten a 5! :P Thanks for the tips, am going out again this afternoon
Awesome!! We live McCall. Some of our videos are filmed there, as you witnessed in this video. Thanks for taking your time to comment. Have fun today!!
Hey - Thanks for commenting. The orange guide is called a boat buddy latch. They are an option on Mastercraft boat trailers. Pretty slick, you can drive the boat up on the trailer and the latch will click into place when you are in the proper place on the trailer. Here is an Amazon affiliate link (see disclosure in my video description) for a similar latch system: amzn.to/3BmXyen
I have the same style trailer and just picked up the same transom straps but realized I'm going to have to drill holes in the trailer, in about the same spot you have yours if I want to mount them. Do you have a video on your install or any tips? I'm concerned about damaging the structural integrity of the trailer. Thanks!
Slow is def smooth, even to this day I have hard time to load a boat because I think I can do it fast but then it suddenly steers in wrong direction;) Curious to see how this boat wake compares to my boat, I am still accustomed to Super Sport Nautique. Would be good if you can review other boat wakes that you ride. I think there are a lot of people in used inboard market.
Hey - thanks for commenting!! Ya, speed gets me sometimes too. That’s a great idea. I have a couple boats that I can review. Mastercraft NXT Centurion RI237 Axis T22 Axis T23 Which one would you be most interested in??
@@Sunni_days I think NXT was a budget Mastercraft a while ago so definitely interested how that wake compares to older boats. I have no other experience then few older nautiques that I have owned.
Hey - TH-cam keeps deleting your messages and I don’t know why… I only got to see a preview of your last comment. This is what I was able to see “I think NXT was a budget Mastercraft a while…” That was it, but now it’s telling me that the comment is not found.
@centurionjohn - Love all your videos - How would thrusters make this an easier task? Saw your Ri230 video and had to get that model only w/the EZ Thruster installed.. Making that video?
Thanks for the question. Sorry for the delayed response. Here are some videos I made of the 230 that might help you with your EZ Thruster: th-cam.com/video/EoirAinLHB4/w-d-xo.html
No, I didn’t buy a new Mastercraft. I wish we had a newer boat 🤔. This is actually one of my Subscribers that I’ve done some coaching for their family. They let me take it out to get some videos. My boat is actually and older Nautique. The prop spins the opposite way, so many of the driving techniques are opposite, I needed a different boat to make this video and they were kind enough to lend me theirs.
That is my friend’s NXT. They still have it and really like it. It was a prefect boat first boat for them. There are things I like about it and some things I don’t really like.
Great Video! What is your opinion of the Ramp-n-clamp bow latch? Is it a worth the upgrade. I need to replace my bow roller and considering this. Thanks
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. They are pretty slick and I personally like using them. However, I have seen many that get bent and don’t work properly because they are bent (people will ram them too hard). I don’t have it on my current boat and I’m fine with not having it.
Excellent video! I am coming from and inboard/outboard, there is definitely learning curve on operating an inboard!

This is an outstanding video. Having the split screen and narration made it very easy to grasp the concepts. Thank you for your excellent video.

Ha ha 👀. Sounds like a stressful situation, but you nailed it 🔨!!
This was a great video. Loved all the different ways to pick up someone at the dock! I saved this one.
Awesome, glad to help. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Have fun practicing 😜. Have a great day 😊
Wow! I have watched many instructional boating videos. This by far the best I have seen. Thank you so much!
Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful day!
This video was well done! The step-by-step instructions certainly help me to understand how to safely control a boat around the dock.
Awesome!! Glad to help. Let me know how your next outing goes 😉

Thank you 🙏. Good point. This video is with an inboard boat, so no trim to worry about. I might add that to another video in the future 😉.
I like this video, makes me feel much better that it is not easy and that it is OK to shift many times.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It is a tricky thing (driving a boat). Are you still enjoying your boat? Or has fall weather forced you to be done for the season?
@@Sunni_days I came from a kayak to Kawaski Ultra 310LX this year, no boat yet. But it does have a F N R feature.
Oh nice! Well, welcome 🤗.

great angles and nice boat driving!
Thanks 🙏. Probably headed out to the lake tomorrow for a foil set!!
@@Sunni_days awesome, sounds fun
It will just be my second time foiling. Hoping to figure it out better.
i love my Supra but it is such a pain in the ass to manipulate in tight space on a busy dock. thanks for this vid!
Glad to help. Thanks for watching. What Supra do you have?
@@Sunni_days 2014 SC. shes actually getting detailed professionally today. cant wait to get er back
Awesome!! I spent a decent amount of time on that boat. The SC is a pretty sweet boat 👌.
Great video
Nice man...u rock 🎉
Thank you great video!
What is the orange guiding system on the front of your trailer?

Did you buy a new mastercraft? I thought you had an older Tige or something.

Is that the Mile High Marina in McCall?
Good Eye! Yes, the last clip was Mile High Marina 👀
What did you think about your NXT?
That is my friend’s NXT. They still have it and really like it. It was a prefect boat first boat for them.
There are things I like about it and some things I don’t really like.

I hear he's still trying to spin the boat around to this day
I guess so 🤪. Have a great day!
Can u teach me lol
Ha ha! If your local to Phoenix, I do personal boat coaching 😉. Where are you located 🤔???
He confused me more
Dang. I’m sorry I wasn’t much help. Anything I can improve on?
