Look Out Fish Somethings Coming!!! | Miami Boat Ramps | Black Point Marina 

Yes I love that

Yeah, it's kind of like watching a video of somebody failing to snowboard and being like "man, the snow's really giving that guy some trouble, he's sliding and falling everywhere."

@@theheresiarch3740 Spell check

Lines cost more than boats in South FL

It's like driving a car without a parking brake/parking gear.

it amazes me how many boats are totally unprepared to approach the dock. your procedures SHOULD be second nature, they are to me and I'm not a boater!

Oldesalt and Greg. Agreed. Midship line or Transom is a favourite of mine. Keeping the engine slow ahead will keep the boat tight on the dock. Why is it that not a single Captain in this video has even rudimentary docking capabilities?. Someone (Me ?) could make a nice living out of teaching these people how to avoid damaging their craft.

I would say you should have a line at least 2 25' ropes even with these small boats. That length allows you to pass the line to your dock hand regardless of the position of the boat. Once the person with one line steps onto the dock, the second can be tossed to them. The greater length also allows you to create massive mechanical advantage, I believe it is a 3rd class lever. Run the line to the far-side of the dock, secure it then step on the line in the middle part that is over the dock so you don't risk falling in. Once the boat moves you can sweat the line in (take out the slack you have created) and repeat the process if needed. At 13 I could move a 45' 15 ton sailboat against the wind doing this.

What does facing the dock mean? Won't that make the stern leave the dock?

@@dethmaul Turned as though you are trying to make a turn to port.

Only if you ASSUME the title grants SKILL...........ROFLMAO OBVIOUSLY NOT!

Agreed, but the person who is in charge of the boat is either Captan, Skipper, etc. The title doesn't infer Skill. Unfortunately.

Agreed. It went up too easily to be 2wd.

LOLOL

Yes that's what we have to do in Indiana.

Typically solo boaters and captains are the only ones that have the skill to drive the trailer and the boat while the passengers don't have a clue on either. In those cases it is fine to leave the boat at the dock while you fetch your trailer.

lmao i boat by myself but kinda get what you are saying

@@biodot88 Solo boaters get an exception out here :) I will add that most tie up at the far end of the pier which would allow someone to come in and launch without blocking the ramp

You must have forgotten, FLORIDA, the place where bad things go to happen....... LOL

The Bird in the Raritan Bay are FAT CATS

Whole situation was weird. No lines. No fenders. Didn’t see registration, etc

The actual question should be: Does anyone TAKE the boating classes offered in Miami?

Its not necessarily too big for that truck, but the weight distribution is definitely off on that trailer. Tongue weight should be about 3-10% of the load which Im betting there were closer to 20%. Also, they need a drop hitch to get the truck and trailer level. Simply moving the boat back on the trailer would have worked wonders for that squat.

Yeah, u could see it squatting real nasty. Lot of weight on those leaf springs.

How do you know that?

I sure wouldn't put it past them

Too much oil

We are at 3-4 ramps every weekend. Boynton has full coverage and a video will be dropping soon. No worries! 👍

@@WavyBoats Awesome!! We were afraid you weren't going to Boynton anymore. That's our favorite ramp to watch (because our local one). Thanks for all your posts. We are always entertained!

Fred is an American Crocodile

This boat ramp is on the intercoastal waterway so it’s salt water that being the case I would say he would be an American crocodile Alligators can tolerate salt water for short periods of time but they really don’t like it and they wouldn’t spend so much time in salt water

It is annoying. Just say this guy or these guys or people, etc.

No, Broncos, just keep laying it on Thicke. This channel highlights people being outrageous!

Calm down bud.
