Captain Needs Help Docking!!! | Miami Boat Ramps | Boynton Beach 

Or you could just secure the guide poles with a single bolt.

My guide on poles are just open PVC pipe with no caps. The caps just trap air and cause them to do what happened here. Mine are also held on with a bolt and double nuts to act as a pin to keep them on the brackets. The trailer was obviously way too deep in the water, but had the guide ons been installed differently he wouldn't have ended up in this much of a pickle.

Who needs guide posts in the 1st place ?

@@meauxjeaux431 It makes loading a boat a whole lot easier than without them.

@@billhooker3006 Yes, especially when there is a stiff crosswind.

I saw ur comment than the video 😂😂

Wasn’t her first rodeo. He trained her right. My dad was bass tournament fisherman. He took me to a hill with our boat. I was 12. He worked with me for about an hour. The point was he needed to get in the water and get gone ASAP. To get to his spot. It takes practice. Don’t just go buy a boat and think it is a piece of cake to load and unload a boat. ESPECIALLY a Tub boat.

And meanwhile he backs his trailer on the opposite side from where his boat was tied up. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That first guy needs to spend time watching videos on docking and the get some practice.

Handy women are hot

He is exactly why there are so many killings too, lol.

@@Thunderbyrd. exactly what one would expect from a dusky owner

Hey, cut him a break. He was just running late for his AA meeting.

Dusky captain needs an OUI before he causes a serious one.

I was wondering this the entire time why he didn't just use 4 wheel drive

Yeah bloody hopeless

I have a twin-engine, 26 cutty, and a 2x4 Tundra. Boynton is my home ramp and inlet and I have never needed 4 wheel-drive. You start pulling it out quickly and don't stop. You want to keep the momentum going till you get over the hump.

My whole life I've owned many 4wd trucks now and honestly you'd be surprised how many don't actually work. So 9 times out of 10 when you see this, 4x4 doesn't work and we never fix it because literally this is about the only time you'll ever need it in FL LOL. One of my trucks I had the same thing happen but the tide was so low the algea growth was making my truck slide in father with just the e brake . I had to hold the brakes to lock the front (only thing from keeping my truck slide in) as someone pulled me out via strap (boat wasn't powerful enough to push my one ton out). My front diff took a shit on me because GMs AAM axles SUCK and are nothing but problems. Two out of three of my GM trucks 4x4 hasnt worked. Between the actuator's, CV axle splines being stripped, the T-case chain wearing holes in the housing. My ford's have been much better to me, can't beat dana axles. Only thing ever gave me problems was the lockers which I bet was this guy's problem which is notorious on those 7.3s they had garbage vaccum lockers compared to 11+

Does everyone in Florida not use the 4x4 or do they disconnect the drive shaft?

Why don't they go to an empty parking lot and practice?

@@wisdomSP my guess is they don't think about it.

this should be part of boaters certificate....if you cant accomplish the launch and load etc....perhaps you dont need the boat ? just an idea

@@wisdomSP Because they boat exactly like they drive!!!

I have seen guys that couldnt so bad that they put balls on the front of there trucks

I was just informed that as of 11pm last night, he got the boat on the trailer

Yep, they’re the best. Always choose/use your friends wisely.

That's what I thought too. I was also wondering if he pulled the boat out with the engine still running

isn't drinking alcohol and driving a boat against the law?

@@bradfoust50 Yup. Same as driving any vehicle while drunk.

@@bradfoust50 No, but being intoxicated and driving a boat is

@@bradfoust50 It is everywhere! DUI or BUI

These same twits make sure to leave the headlights on while they're getting gas or parked waiting for someone though!

Yea that is a good idea but most people are not going to take your advice but what I did was take my boat down a deserted road and practice backing it/turning it around/but the real reason was my back brakes needed adjusting and if you back up while pushing the park brake peddle up and down while backing it it will adjust your parking brake and you wont role into the water when you are unhooking the boat with a standard trans. No shit it works

It’s complacency that causes this I would say most of the time. See it a lot.

lol, i thought all diesels were 4wd

That’s exactly what I was thinking… on some boat ramps it don’t matter how much towing power you got if you don’t have 4wd lmao

@@antoniomontana4480 weirdly most of the trucks in the South and Texas are 2wd bc they don’t have to drive in snow or anywhere you’d need 4wd- as opposed to the PNW or Midwest where it’s basically essential… we deal with snow a lot and do a lot of off-roading lmao

@@connorcole5385 I’ve lived in the Midwest driving a truck for 42 yrs where we get a good amount of snow and never had a real need for a 4x4. A limited slip differential, good tires and some weight in the bed will get you thru an 8” snow easily. And in my area they will have the road plowed down to pavement within 8 hrs even in my last 14” snowstorm . Most times the county will enact a level 3 warning, if you are out driving in that they will give you a healthy ticket. I never felt the need to drive my trucks off road in the mud or snow I guess, especially with a truck that costs $60K now

nothing wrong with a couple beers, and its not illegal. the issue is the "skills" of these captains are completely non-existent.

@@ct1762 operating a vessel under the influence is illegal in all 50 star states. Also known as a bui.

@@reykennedy5716 in florida you can drink alcohol while driving a boat as long as you arent drunk. (0.08)

@@reykennedy5716 false.

@@ratman18fl40 - Learn to read. He said under the influence. That means intoxicated and yes it’s illegal in all states.

I bet none of them offered him some fuel money aswell

4wd not completely necessary. you dont need to sink a trailer

@@Fljeff7 Not necessary, but it helps on wet/slimmy ramps. I can't tell the texture of the pavement but I watched a lot of burnouts on the channels

@@Aaron.Davis56 I use a Corolla with a 19ft. often does the job very good better than you think it would

@@Fljeff7 Some ramps are better than others and the timing of the tide makes some slippery. Big difference between a 19 CC or fully loaded cuddy I/O. Size isn't the only factor, but good look and stay safe

Driving home drunk while also towing a couple thousand pounds of extra weight

They need to revoke his boating license asap

Thanks for your love and support Linda

Googan...lol

U dont need it. Use the boats engine to push u up the ramp soon as u hear the exhaust, shut it down, by then ur way home free

Johnny B You know how many trucks were bought and used before the 4x4 fad started back in the late 80’s? You don’t need a 4x4 for most situations. I hauled many boats up a ramp without the need for it, boat sizes ranging for 18’ up to 25’

I agree, there is nothing better..

I agree with you, and what surprises me so much is that none of these boaters have something so simple as a dock pole/hook. I’ve had 5 boats throughout the yrs and every one of them had at least 1 pole, sometimes 2. No need to try an toss a rope from the boat to a dock post..

Agreed, one time I seen a trailer pop off the hitch, it careened into oncoming traffic and it hit a guy on a motorcycle head on, it wasn’t pretty

I test boats at a boat factory. That is exactly how we put our boats in the water.

I think he was stuck on the stub of the guide post marking up the hull

Sh*t happens, ive been on really choppy water with the trailer slightly too deep. It lifted my nose just on top of the wheel well and i got hungup for a minute. I definitely didnt struggle like this guy though lol.

you see some skin and she's fine ? lol
