- Welcome back to Boneheaded Boaters of the Week! As usual we review some clips of some people doing some silly things on a boat mixed in with some people doing incredible things on boats.
We have several good ones this week including some people making some mistakes.
Be sure to check out our merch to show you rep the drain plug mafia. Also if you see anything crazy happening on your waterways be sure to contact us to let us know and you may see you video here as well.
We also started a new boating group on FB called Drain Plug Mafia be sure to join to participate in everything boating.
Dragging your outboard motor across the pavement is both the start and end of your boating day.
He probably dragged it up the ramp and ripped it off the boat. That motor cost more than I have spent on boats in my whole life.
AND, how do you not see that in the mirror?!!
For small boats you only use a handful of times every year, a trailer is the way to go.
I love keeping my boat in the water. So convenient.
Same 😊
My brother and I towed our 23 CC for the first year, after that we went high and dry at a Marina at Canaveral. Even though it was a few hundred a month, it was worth it, as you said, we went out more often. So nice to call the night before and say hey we're going out in the AM and the boat would be tied to the dock and when we came in was lifted up, washed and rinsed and put back in the building high and dry.
I did the same thing when I lived in south Flori-duh.
The ramps were a clusterphuck every day of the week, and dry stacking was the perfect solution.
Never had to deal with ramp campers again, and it just made the entire day stress free knowing I could leave them far behind to argue amongst themselves.
I’ve even seen fights break out at the ramps, and didn’t want to be anywhere near those knuckleheads again.
@@peglegjim57 same thing at Canaveral. We'd sit at the tiki bar next to the ramp and watch the morons come in and go out. Really made for a great comedy show. LOL
All thru the 70's, I kept my 27' wooden fishing boat in a saltwater slip. Good bottom paint will last two years.
Never had a mold problem 'cause we used good ventilation and stacked the cushions to allow air flow. The slip back then was 1K a year. Marine fuel was 50 cents, while on land it was 30 cents a gallon. I did try trailer boating in the 1980's, but that was a nightmare.
*And these people BREED!*
Having a boat in the water at your own dock is the ultimate boating luxury. I had that for about 5 years on a large fresh water lake. Used a full cover and didn't need bottom paint. The brightwork didn't seem to suffer. Didn't notice mildew.
I rack stored indoors for 18 years and the boat was always clean and shiny. Sold it for well over half what I paid for it after all those years!
Keep at home and trailer it wherever I want to go. Puerto Rico has some amazing boating, just need to plan ahead!
Keep all my boats in marinas forever.since I was a kid.my marina was open 24hrs a day
I loved having my boat at my own slip, just hop in and pull up to the fuel dock, and your off. These days I don't boat as often, but I have a boat ramp across the road from me. I suppose I have been pretty spoiled over the years, now if that would just spill over into other parts of life. Not so much so far lol.
I grew up on a river, so we kept the big boat in the water at home and trailered a little fishing boat around the area. I find it especially funny watching people try to dock with a current. I don't remember ever not knowing how to do that. You always dock on the downstream side so the boat doesn't rub on the dock.
Ideal situation is keep the boat on the water on a lift or davit. No bottom maintenance but the real cost is most of the time you have to live on the water for this option. I consider myself lucky here in Michigan to have this opportunity.
.
so, you don't mention winter - - a Shore Station is fine for summer but you have to take it out in the fall and put it back in the water in the spring and those things are really awkward to get in and out of the water in most cases
Keep the boat in the water and tend daily. Apply proper paint, vasolene or whatever to bottom. Clean and coat as needed after you pull boat out. Simple. Keep launching from trailer to minimum. Learn the tricks of keeping boat in water…😅. Unused moorings, anchorage.
You aren’t really a person are you? AI just farted I think.
My boat spends most days on the trailer. One reason is the age of the boat, I don't trust it enough to leave it un attended. But the big one is cost. If I had to pay for a slip I would just sell the boat spend my money elsewhere.
Trailer for Minnesota - lots of lakes to explore.
Still searching for boat for Florida, but always figured high and dry would be the best answer.
The marina my family kept their boat at had large D-rings imbedded into the ramps just below the concrete surface. Anyone who had a winch could hook onto them for added safety. I've always wondered why most boat ramps don't have them.
I used to keep my boat in a lake on a mooring and it was terrific. I used it 2-4 times per week. It is so much easier when you only have to lug the fishing gear and or water sports stuff and lunch/dinner down to the waters edge. Now that I tow the boat only gets wet maybe 6 times per our short season.
Trailer with a sealskin cover in the front yard. I take it a variety of places around my state (Indiana) and the funds for off-property storage don't exist. Boat is a 16' Starcraft Montego (tri-v ski boat) with a 302.
One thing you left out on the disadvantages of a wet slip, at least here in the northeast some places, is availability. You literally have to get on the waiting list and then watch the obituaries for a decade or more. I'm on the list and waiting. In the meantime, I keep it on my trailer on the marina property. Saves on the abuse it takes in the wet slips with people throwing wakes and tidal movement. But you definitely have to give yourself move time for the trailer option.
Put white anitfoul on the bottom of your sportsboat and chances are most people won't even notice...
Dry storage was the way to go for me. Just call ahead and have them drop it in the water. Get back clean it up and they put it back on the rack. Used the boat a lot more than when trailering.
I keep mine in the water year round at a floating dock in brackish water. $10 per foot per month. Have a diver who cleans the hull every two weeks. I'm on a river that leads out to the bay, and I can go all the way to the Gulf of Mexico if I want. My destination options are only limited by weather and time. Best scenario for me, and I take her out regularly because I park at the dock, load my gear, and go. 3000 running hours on my 10-year-old Yamaha. Can't count the number of hours of anchor time when I'm out.
2:13 Facts, if your pickup truck has electronics and/or an electronic dashboard and it goes into the water then it is totaled, it is done. It's cheaper to buy a new pickup truck.
Even after the taxpayer- funded bailout GM still offered PARK BRAKES!🤔
A friend worked at a yacht club. He needed some help anchoring some docks. I loaded up the scuba gear and headed out. We were standing on the dock at the marina looking the situation over when a ski boat pulled up. We tied up her boat. She had bought it there a few days before and told us it lacked power and didn’t want to come up on plane. My buddy jumped in, fired it up, and took it out to open water to check it out. He came back and verified what she said. With the sun on the water you couldn’t see underneath the boat. So my friend thinking something might be caught in the prop borrowed my scuba mask and jumped in to take a look. He quickly popped up coughing, gagging, trying to breathe. I got him onto the dock and he couldn’t talk, he was laughing so hard he couldn’t catch his breath. He shoved the mask on my head and pointed for me to look. When I did I was in shock! We found the problem or lack thereof. When she launched the boat she unhooked the trailer from the vehicle! The trailer was still attached to the boat! Yes, she was blonde! 😂😂😂😂😂 I dated only blondes and a few redheads. I love ‘em, but damn! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is there a maximum weight for towing is the US? It looks like it is way too easy for people to buy anything they can hook up to a car, without proper licenses etc.
You forgot the absolute best option. Have the $ to buy a house on a deep water canal right off the ICW and keep the boat or boats, kayaks, and paddle boards in the backyard ready to go whenever.
Bro yeeted himself on that foil board
0:21 - Bet they did that before, but have no idea what a tide chart is.
And saltwater is in the air to and corrodes things! I’ve lived on a saltwater lake before, it corrodes everything not protected! I moved! lol 🤣😂🤣
My boats over the years have always been in the water from breakup to freeze up. Sure it's a harder on the interior but nothing serious. There is algae grow on the back and sides but only where the sun shines, never on the bottom. Five minutes wading around with a scrub brush and it's gone. Spur of the moment boating is the only way to go.
Never a dull moment on this channel !
Bottom paint every year gets very old, fast. Getting the boat on poppets & back on the trailer is very time consuming, not to mention the buildup of paint over 30 years. Marina prices have gone UP like EVERYTHING, too. I trailer & I'm always waiting at the dock for an hour for my "party" to arrive.
I kept mine in a slip with a lift it was so nice to go to the boat hit the drop button and gom
Hey Bronco,
what do you do after submerging your entire car in saltwater? Is it even worth trying to repair it?
I've put my entire into saltwater many, many times with nary a problem. Other than shivers and shrinkage, of course.
@@mbryson2899 Haha funny. Forgot the word car🤣
Along with your Haulover Inlet channels, all the dipshits in Florida make it an easy job for you. Just when you think you have the winner of The Darwin Award identified, another entrant shows up in your camera lens.
@@nikleiser5888 Ohhhh...never mind. 😉
@@mbryson2899
😂😂😂😂
Having money doesn’t mean a person has cents.
I've had one in the water at the house n it wasn't bad at all. But I've been trailering for over 15 years now. Simply put, where I like fishing is too far for a boat ride.
Love my boat in a slip at a Marina and resting on a Shore Station up probably 2’ above water level. Shore Station probably cost $3,000 new 20 years ago and will probably outlive me! Have a 12 volt electric motor that hooks up to an extension that is on the boat. End of a day of boating, boat is covered, 30 amp dock electric is plugged in, trolling motor batteries and engine batteries are charged up. Boat is raised, electric motor extension is stored and all is well. I do not like to rely on anyone so dry stacking is only likely if in saltwater.
Be well.
I keep my boat on the lift when I’m not in it
Like Alfred Montaner says “bloop bloop bloop”….
Heaps & heaps of word salad!
2:34 YOU CAN'T PARK THERE MATE!
Youre trippin, after a year in a fresh water wet slip it gets a bunch of growth. But it doesnt hinder performance. Salt marinas dont require under coating, they recommend it
You must not have been in water with a lot of algae. I have seen fresh water boats with hair growing on the bottom as long as Cher's. Then you have the Zebra muscle problem in some places like the Great Lakes. I have seen boats slow to the point of not planing off in fresh water.
If you get anti fowl coating on your boat that should last 12 months if it's done right
I keep mine on a lift in my backyard.
I Should offer a course on how to launch your boat make a fortune lol
if you're at a marina, your choice of vehicles is much more broad
I always trailer mine
If you just calm down and not get in a hurry or let anyone rush you I've found in the past 20 yrs at the ramp it's not so bad !
My boat is on a lift but I can put it on the trailer within 20 minutes to go somewhere else
How many bets the dude with flooded truck still tried to start it?🤣
I have a job boat and I fish many lakes and rivers. So I have to trailer my boat.
Not really a decision. The Marina wins hands down. Boat is available and definitely utilized more.
God bless
Actually I was thinking you had no videos to show!!!!!🤔
I just cannot conceive how ANYONE that is launching at a ramp can get their entire tow vehicle submerged. It defies description.
Videos like this have made me so paranoid that I triple check my E brake and whether my truck is in park. I also have aggressive wheel chocks that I can bust out as my local ocean ramp is very slimy in the summertime. There is no way I am going to end up in the water like these guys.
Davits😊
Where is the world is captain ron at instead of captain crunch
I never cease to be amazed at how fascinating your content is. You're a true master!✌️ 1 💬.
Marina is better, reduced resale only applies to nice things like big boats, where you haggle over maintenance costs at point of sale. I like my big boat and am prepared to pay for a marina berth everyday Pal.

No idea why people would choose launches over a marina slip. Cost sure, but just buy a cheaper boat 😊
Gawd, your voice is like nails on a blackboard!
Agreed, I always mute the volume.
The chore of having a boat
And the dangers of boating have been enough to turn me off boats for life.
This idea that going out on a boat is somehow pleasurable is not an idea that i entertain
Lol boats are very safe as long as common sense is used
@@geoffneibert124 yes...that's the problem for sure ...humans, alcohol and pleasure cruising
No thanks
Personally I love boating n fishing. The trouble isn't the boat(it's expensive)
It's not the trailer, I hit Ramps all over the state.
It's friggin idiots on the water that make me wonder at times.
...talks way too much
It’s his only job 😂….. mute em
You must be new here 😂😂😂
The irony of this unnecessary comment did not escape me 😂
You’re right
Don't care how much he talks. It is the overload on caffeine that gets me.
Pulling your boat out every 2 weeks from a wet slip is crazy Anal
I hope you enjoy your subs and good luck. 🙄
Im of the opinion after watching this channel that we need to seriously start engineering our watercraft to be idiot proof. Just saying it appears we have no hope of there ceasing to be idiots in the water.
As long as dumbasses can make money we are going to see them on the road n water.
The problem is they have been spoon fed. Safety everything for fear of litigation.
A better option would be to allow darwinism to work. In a few years there would b enough less idiots to make a noticeable difference.
But then where would we see this content 🤣.
Bust Out Another Thousand says it all…
For gods sake…SHUT IP!
Save your money, don't buy a boat. They're way too much money.
Too much talking, when the pics tell the story !!!!!!
For gawd sakes stop talking guy!! Couldn't make past half way. And stop panning around instead of a constant view. Bcuz of that I'm blocking you out completely
Blah, blah & blah!
This video would have been more enjoyable WITHOUT the guy talking through the whole thing ! Next time, have a few more cups of coffee before narrating a video !
Too much talking blah blah blah
Talks waaaay too much.....
