You Are Going to Hit The Dock!! | Miami Boat Ramps | Black Point Marina 

always use a 4 wheel drive for boating and turn it on before you hit the ramp

"If you got the money to blow on a boat, you got the money to blow on a truck that's able to tow that boat." -Wise words from my father, who's a seasoned boater.

What I don't understand is why doesn't the marina have a tug cart on duty, I live in Maine and whenever we get slick on the ramp there is ALWAYS either someone to run the tug or someone with a hook to help you out! I'm sure glad I don't live around unhelpful people!!

Always amazes me when people can't pull out yet there is a 200 lb person standing in the boat.

If I ever move to Florida, I’m gonna buy a 4x4 and wow people 😂😂

When I go to a boat ramp, depending on the slick conditions of the ramp, I will put snow chains on the rear wheels of my truck before I even drive down to pull out my boat. The look on everyone else's face when I effortlessly pull my twin engine 40' boat out is classic. $80 pair of chains is well worth the hassle!

When I was 17 yrs old in Utah in 1982 I would hang out at the boat ramp and watch for older men who were obviously retired guys that had bought their dream boat and didn’t know what they were doing and offer to back their boat in for them and park their trailer while they pulled their boat over to the dock. made a ton of money in tips!

Aussie here, every person standing around woulda been straight over pushing and helping :):):)

a RWD pickup needs to keep front wheels pointed straight ahead since, without 4WD, the fronts add resistance if turned off straight line forward.

The boat ramp is where relationships are lost! 😂

I absolutely love the comradery in the boating community...most of the time 🙏

If your going to tow a boat and use a boat launch ramp on the regular...maybe you should check the box for 4WD!

Florida-man at his finest.

one can try releasing some air from the rear tires to get more surface area and grip.

These boat launch areas really need to up their game to have less slippery ramps.

They could have taken the floor mats out of the truck and put them in front of the tires and worked it out. Don't tell me that don't work, because it did for me.

Need to keep front wheels STRAIGHT when pulling out to reduce rolling resistance.

Late November duck hunting can become crazy when the ramp is covered in ice or snow even in 4X4.

I found your channel randomly yesterday, I love it. Keep up this brilliant content, it's so good.

Many years ago in my teens, we had speed boat with an outboard motor. The ramp we used got extremely wet and slippery, so we solved the problem by attaching a long rope between the trailer hitch and the car's tow bar. The car remained on level ground whilst my father backed back. Worked every time.

parking brake trick always works here

been boating 50 years, always had zero issues usung a 4wd.

3:00 I see 2 on the dock and one in the boat not helping. At least the one in the boat finally moves forward.

Makes me want to get into boating.

i like how the lady on the boat was pushing the boat , like it was doing something

None of those trucks have 4x4?

I'am a concrete engineer. This concrete ramp should of been finished with a rough finish by raking top surfaces with a garden rake to create a rough top surface for wheel traction. That's how all are Boat ramps are cast in Virginia by Game & Inland Fishes State Boat Ramps. This boat ramp should have top surface replaced or have surface hammer with air impact flat hammer to create a rough surface. It's Florida lots of concrete contractors down there. Looks like concrete contractor didn't know anything about boat ramps. You need a rough finish, not a smooth trowel finish. I been boating over 50 years and I know what I'am seeing and over 30 years in concrete experience.

One of the biggest issues in warm climate areas is that dealers sell, and people buy rear wheel drive pickups without a locking differential always get a locking differential even with so called 4-wheel drive or you won't actually have a true 4-wheel drive. If towing a lot of weight especially a boat on an angled surface that may be slippery always opt for the 4-wheel drive with locking differentials, front and rear if available. just FYI if you don't have one and need it your rear diff can be changed to one.

Could feel that guys frustration

That should be scored concrete all the way to the asphalt. Who is designing their ramps?

Amazing the crews from both docks could have assisted each other, but NOOOOO!

Good thing the launch spot is go to is not busy. I stress all the time😂

A truck that is not 4X4 is not a truck!

The marina needs a little tractor or tug cart!

Pull e brake just enough to where it slightly engages and then drive out. The slight brake pressure on the back tires should act like a limited slip. Works for me off-road but I’ve never tried it on a slippery ramp.

Never buy a 2wd truck if you plan on using it for work.

Having 4 low is a wonderful thing... even with my little 1748 jon boat and 40hp jet I use 4 low pulling the boat out.. granted I'm usually on a gravel bar..

What's cheaper. new tires or a a tow?

is this a ramp design flaw? seems lower gradient over longer length

The Miami area is a different animal from the rest of Florida!

My man got the job done. 👍

I am done inviting friends who invite their friends, trash your boat, no gas money or provisions. When docking, they are ordering pickup pizzas, their car keys in hand Jump off and ask when we are boating next. LOL

8:00 just sit in back and do nothing. I blame the parents for allowing it.

That was a good one. Thanks

Why would you get a Rwd truck? Let alone if you tow a boat?

Don't you have like special cuts in the programme? So it gives the tires more grip? We've got different Lake little raise bits on our boat. Ramps here in Australia to help the boats get out..

Last two times I had slippage I just put it in 4wd. Both of my trucks and Sequoia ate 4wd. Don't have to use 4wd often but it is nice to have when I need it.

Man. they sound try letting some air out of the rear tires for more grip !

For the most part, reduce the torque on the drive wheels to reduce spinning. To do this, place the transmission in L2.

I’ll keep my boat at the boat house and have it forklifted in and out!!!! That boat ramp looks like a horrible day!!!!!

lol this was the funniest one in a long time man oh man

Nice to see an American boat with a mailbox 😂 onboard

When u save some money on the truck to have enough to buy a boat 🛥️ 😂

They need more grip on the ramp!!!!

F150 4x2 has only a 14k lb towing capacity, however that is rated on dry flat ground.

I had this problem one time and all I had to do was press the 4x4 button on the dash. Problem solved! Ramps are the same here in western PA. Never had this problem again.

Apply a little parking brake when the tires spin, it will keep the one spinning from spinning so much and apply traction to the opposite wheel.

All you need is a piece of 2X4 put under the tires to give it a lift.

If I could open a cafe near these ramps I would make a fortune it’s better than watching tv bloody clowns

Someone with a tractor or ATV and tow rope on call would be welcomed I'm sure.

4X4!!! Ya’ll!??? Get the right tires!! Get ir right!

5:40 girl not giving it any real gas is really pissing me off. lol

Can’t they throw sand on the ramps for traction ? Seems like anything would help.

Some people are nice help each other ❤

I get to that ramp at 5 am you don’t have to deal with a bunch of animals

I do not understand why they make ramps so smooth

Who designed the boat ramp ? Mickey Mouse! Looks like smooth concrete. Cut slots at 45° into concrete and rough up the crests. Geees

What if you let air out of the tires?

In Florida, a 4x4 is hard to come by apparently

Boater #2 should keep a10 pound bag of sand in the back of the truck. Put a few handfuls under each rear wheel and he'd have been gone the second try. Listen to people who drive in snow and icy conditions ⛄.

I wasn’t even aware, that model Ram not coming with 4WD.?. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I agree, doesn’t it clue in ???? Use the 4x4 mode ???

That's why they make 4 wheel drive!!!!!

Do these trucks not have 4X4?

No 4 wheel drive?

The biggest problem is you bought a truck without 4 wheel drive and you know you own a boat. At the very least I have never owned a pickup truck that at least did not have a locking rear end, most of these trucks are only spinning 1 wheel on the rear end, NOT 2....

If you own a boat you own a 4 wheel drive

In my era..one of us pulling out would’ve hooked on and gave en a tug..

why wouldnt you have a 4wd for hauling a boat?

Someone with 4 wheel drive and a tow strap could make some easy money

This is when you need a truck with 4x4 to do truck things

I pull a Regal 28 Express with my Ram 1500 DT 4x4 with 3.5 inch lift, HD progressive tow springs and 35x12.5x20's. I had no issues so far.. 4 Low works very well to pull a 8000 lb. boat out on a steep ramp.

I wouldn’t want to go to sea with any of them.

Ever thought about 4X4 Low Range?!

Using a electric whisk, If you mix a half bucket of fresh lime zest, half a bucket of ground coffee beans and the same amount of sugar with 1 part baking soda to 10 parts of original Coca Cola, then apply the solution liberally to the ramp with a hard bristled sweeping brush, you’ll immediately get up and out, no outboard motors running, no tyres screeching, no sweat and no drama or stares, just drive straight home and enjoy a beer.

Larger boats you really need 4x4 whether its a 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck.

Florida man don’t need no 4wd to get the boat out of the water, they just do burnouts to maximize traction

This is why you have 4x4 when you own a boat

2 130s?

My truck is a two wheel drive, I keep traction pads on the bed just in case I ever get into a situation like thisn

People need to learn about 4x4

Couldn’t they just slide some rubber mats under the tires to help with grip?

Is it illegal to use 4wd in Florida?

Don't they sell sand bags down there ???

My TRX can get the job done ✔️

I am SO GLAD I live in Australia - we have to do a registered boating course with both a written test, and practical test. We need to renew our licence yearly. I am glad we have these checks and balances. Florida/US looks like a free for all and who cares about any kind of education and experience etc. Guess when you can go fishing and open carry an AR-15 Semi Auto rifle with you, then that shows how terrible FL is....... And you guys wonder why all the problems?!.....

They wouldve gotten it with the power out if she would've actually given it the onions and at the right time.

Wouldn’t a 4x4 be better for towing boats I mean idk I’m not an expert but I’m thinking about buying a truck and boat in the future

Who owns the ramp? That is the dumbest, smoothest concrete I've ever seen. Even in here in Alaska, we texture the ramps so you can pull your boat in the SNOW.... I feel bad for the drivers for having to tolerate the incompetence of whom ever built that ramp.

Sounds like some one needs Utv or decent Tractor a beer or two and charge 20-40 dollars a tug
