Clueless Boater makes The Launch, DIFFICULT

Another afternoon at "The Launch" One of our favorite local Boat Ramps. It seems that there is always a certain few people that struggle so much with such an easy task. Well, today is no exception. Enjoy. #orangebeachalabama #TheWharf

[@cliffpack7644]

Good show Dan, I watch several different boat ramps but I'm glad I found this one that is local with boats and people I have seen before. LOL Just wonder how long it will be before I see myself on here. I use Mahogany Mill ramp 90% of the time. As far as drone video vs still camera... I like the combo of both views. Keep up the good videos.

[@bradadams6521]

I personally think its hilarious when you see someone having some difficulty and then you hear the drone fire up and take off lol

[@MicRuLerZ]

I found it really funny that the drone pops up at 8:20 ready to catch the boat almost fall off the trailer

[@debbieayres63]

I really enjoy the commentary, the drone and the video footage! I think you know what you’re doing!

[@danielmanassa1348]

Thanks for keeping your videos cleaner overall. I can watch them with the whole family. Some things are unavoidable I get that but love the drone footage, the fails and your commentary is usually spot on! #intoodeep

[@dougaranda6187]

You should back in until the vehicle exhaust starts bubbling in the water. Then your trailer is at the perfect depth. 😉

[@mattg926]

I think you do a good job with the videos I do like the drone but it’s up too you how much footage from the drone but I think what your viewers really want to see is big Dan himself showing us how it’s done launching and loading . Looking forward to more great videos 👍

[@rustbucket9318]

Can’t fathom someone giving 200k for a pontoon boat. It is still a pontoon no matter how much horsepower it has. And the motors were out of sync!!!

[@1sicsrt]

Did they back that (blue) pontoon trailer in the same exact spot when they loaded it?

[@JCASTELLUCCIOJR]

700 HP PONTOON… The owner should have spent more money and bought some common sense… As in title: TOTALLY CLUELESS…hazard to self and others!

[@KM.130]

More money than brains!!!!

[@10Millsand10Gauges]

i wanna see ladies and cool boats who cant back up

[@mikep1646]

I like the Drone

[@keithauer4548]

WHY do these ppl all want to power it onto the trailer and not take 2 minutes to just winch it on

[@joewilton7638]

Definitely bikinis 😂😂😂

[@MrShuffnagle]

I like the aerial shots that are directly above the boat and trailer so you can see how crooked or off center they are coming in.

[@stephaniewood8541]

I like more instructional info. I’m a fairly new boater and we have experienced some fails. I’ve already learned some things from watching launches and loads. Keep it coming 😊

[@keithauer4548]

Use the winch that's why they put it on the trailer

[@richerwin6397]

If you have a V hull, allow the V under the bow to slide up the center bunks and bring the bow directly toward the bow stop. Once your bow gets close enough to the bow stop, your entire hull should be resting on the trailer lightly enough for you to be able to winch it the additional 2 or 3 feet without any difficulty. No need to race the engine to force it up the rest of the way, you put stress on the transom and may draw a rock or piece of concrete into the prop. Becoming familiar with your hull is the best asset and keep passengers to the stern if they're in the boat when loading/unloading.

[@brianfarmer702]

Also Dan I'd like to say that out of all the boat shows we watched on KZbin yours is the best

[@TheBigDanShow]

Thanks my friend. Much love

[@Bubbles99718]

I'd like to see interviews with the incompetent people after. Show them the footage then, "Let's talk about this."

[@NWI_Steel]

Lmao

[@timothyharrison8953]

Can't miss the true patriots with an American flag as big as their boat! 4:58 why would a barge require two engines like those?

[@markmoser13]

Your videos are done very well the drone footage is nice for the viewers but probably causes the boaters to get angry I personally would like to see more fails and pretty women

[@brianfarmer702]

Hi Dad me and the wife love your show we watch you here from Texas we would love to see more drone shots we like the drone and more crack

[@slimjam44]

Tailgate down - Hatch up; Hi Dan, the wife and I love your channel! You should mention that sometimes when clearance is possible, the short trailer folks can drop tailgate or lift rear hatch so they can see their trailer. It helps when backing a shortie and when backing down a steep ramp. Also, when loading the boat, a lot of exposed outboard folks can glance back to check motor direction before whacking the throttle. Cheers and plugs in, JW from K.C.

[@vernonstrang6447]

Screw the picky people give us a bit of everything

[@richerwin6397]

Your zoom shots give enough details as far as I'm concerned. The drone is an added expense to you that I don't think gives you a feasible return on your investment. Also, some folks may consider it to be a bit invasive if they spot it directly over head or nearby. Just my thoughts.

[@TheBigDanShow]

I can respect that!

[@patrickkeenan8109]

I like the drone shots but it doesn’t add anything to the F’ups. Keep doing what you do. Peace from New Hampshire.

[@TheBigDanShow]

Thanks friend

[@buggiebuild1]

From A-to-Z this channel is ever so relaxing, I love when you commentary, I love when I hear your wife in the background or a quick shot of her, just wanted to throw a big thank you to you, shout out to the wifey🤘✌🏻💕😎

[@fghjfghgj]

@@TheBigDanShow do you own a boat?

[@langleyjw]

Looks like the ramp could use some friendly volunteers to help out these folks. After watching many hours of your channel the common theme is IN TOO DEEP. It is funny,but I can't help but think with your knowledge of boating you could really help some people become better boaters.

[@mollymarshall5710]

You know back in the day (70-80’s) my dad and I had to take a boater safety course before setting sail, in MD (35ft Catalina sailing boat). Is that not a thing now?

[@williamyonan4338]

MORE COW BELL

[@FourMaxK1]

Drones - love 'em, have a Mavic 2 Pro. Footage I would like to see is overhead of the good and bad final moments. I see a 80% - 90% 2D & max 10 - 15 % drone.

[@billieburke-ww2qj]

after that 1st boat I knew what kinda day it would be...... 1st boat has a flag on top blowing hard to the left of the screen & that's bad for a lot of these boaters especially the PonTooN CarTuneS !! Hey, I just "coined" a new type of boat show starring the pontoon people, a hearty walmart crowd.... or not? A 1st for me in seeing the Twin 350's on a Pontoon style boat... That's a lot of motor but there must be more to that than the average pontoon?? peace

[@RealityBytes228]

At 11:00, I just love it when people give the driver backup hand signals. I’m not watching you …. I’m watching my mirrors.

[@ChrisG9978]

I'd love it if you could catch some drone footage of that pontoon-looking boat with 700HP, dual 350HP outboards, while it's out on the water. I bet the bow of that boat is pointed 45 degrees in the air at full throttle!

[@jameslovitt994]

Love the drone footage, just keep doing what you're doing. The white Ram with the jet ski, I guess you quit backing down the dock when the water is in your lap. Lol!

[@aboxofchalk]

"watch the white truck".....I just stared at that Dodge bringing in the jet ski the whole time. The tripod camera btw is what I'm digging, some cool action shots with the drone add effect tho for sure! Love the channel man, keep it up.

[@CTBwithPopandMimi]

I've been married 30 years, I know the conversation going on between that couple by the body language they are displaying. Husband gonna regret his trip to the lake with his wifey. #nodepthatall for a long time.

[@cowboy6591]

Variety shots, drone and ground is the winner. BOTH!!. The keeping it clean? No thanx, censorship is twice as perverted as the material that it eliminates.

[@Raider1746]

I call the drone skeeter. When skeeter goes up and out it’s about to go down. So combo of drone and video from camera at your location is fine with me. And before I forget….the audio is hilarious sometimes by people on video. That’s important also. Good audio from time to time when possible due to wind.

[@russanderson2233]

Interviews of what’s goin thru the boaters minds when loading the boat on the trailer and how they prepare for it on a week to week basis. Kinda like a pro athlete 😂😂😂😂😂 ask why did you choose to make that bonehead move questions

[@berndm9743]

Watching these boat ramp videos is like a trip to the zoo. Just like watching a whole bunch of monkeys trying to have relations with the proverbial football

[@woodyholland9865]

More Drones, more pretty ladies. Less Dummies. If you lower the tailgate on truck you can see the trailer! At the least look at your mirrors when backing.

[@rossevans1774]

I've found the easiest thing to do in the boat is to drive it in a straight line. On that ramp there must be a right to left water current and/or a slight right to left breeze that is causing many to 'struggle'. Sorry, I'm maybe being just a little too analytical, but it can get a little frustrating watching the 'show'.

[@1sicsrt]

More drone footage...hell i might even pitch in some on a new drone if we can get other subscribers to do it, too!!! ....more drone and more bikini's 😂😂

[@TairnKA]

At 11:34; if he (and so many others) had spent the time and wound the rope properly the last time, he'd not be dealing with a tangled mess now. ;-)

[@dustyflair]

it is called a DRIVE ON TRAILER for a reason people....

[@jeeptrucklover72]

What’s with these stupid people staying on the boat when the boat is going up the ramp? Are they afraid of getting their feet wet? But they’ll go out and get splashed with water when they’re out boating but not get splashed when they’re loading the boat up? Amazing!

[@joecody195]

Both drone and camera and stupid boaters, most of the time they cane be spotted 50' away.The problem is yeah also need to watch everyone else because every once in a while there are brain farts....

[@stacey_h]

Since I'm not a boat person, maybe a little more comments on what they are doing wrong. The drone footage would be better if there was some more shots in front of the boat heading in or out. It just would give a better view than what the camera does. Some times the camera and the drone shows pretty much the same views.

[@jankuhnert4768]

Hey Dan & Fam, thanks again for sharing the boat ramps with us, soooooo different from my life over here, love it! I enjoy the mix you’ve got right now of your water-side view and the drone shots. Looking forward to your video on how to enter/exit the ramps properly & quickly 😊, jan.

[@johnb2674]

@11:00 was a perfect drone shot of the misalignment. Out of all the other channels I sub to I think you’re the only one using a drone. 👍

[@godfreydaniel2308]

As a fisherman I hate all jet skiers as 90% of them seem to be absolutely clueless and/or inconsiderate, but I hate the rear pisser Yamahas the most.

[@deanwebb1362]

Truck slipping in the water.😂 And more DR1 footage.

[@jamesmcardle5426]

I like it just the way you do it now. The perfect amount of drone. I’m also in the Fl panhandle

[@205SharpShooter]

Keep flying. It’s what makes your videos different from the rest.

[@shinbo010]

I like current style. Air shots, boat fails, boats crushing it and booty shots. What's not to like

[@pauldavis1943]

'Jack-knife jet ski' follows 700 hp of 'never done this before'

[@MichaelWishon-g3q]

Dig your drone coverage.

[@TheBigDanShow]

Thanks my friend! We just got a new drone and can’t wait to get it out on the water for you guys

[@1sicsrt]

Thats rriver in the white ram and jet ski needs some punishment, man. You dont do that to a Mopar!! Cmon, man!

[@jeffsilva6269]

when these people buy a boat they should have to take a mandatory how to launch and put your boat back on the trailer.........

[@DoubleAction2]

Fail videos via drone, that’s what I want to see.

[@1999Valkyrie]

Is that pontoon sweet or what!! I like your drone footage, it gives a different perspective.

[@michaelmaldonado5680]

700hp on a pontoon is simply impressive!! What ashame guy has no clue how to operate it!!

[@jacknevitt7384]

I love the drone shots of the boats approaching the trailers! You do a good job of showing the regular video plus a drone shot of the same loading…great skills!

[@pauldavis1943]

Gotta say that the drone seems invasive. Just me?

[@thomasbrovont4114]

The drones are nice but your money might be better spent on a second camera unit so you can video multiple ramps at the same time.

[@edaker4684]

Pretty ladies are always a good thing to see. There's nothing wrong with that! Drone footage is cool too.

[@thomashardwick673]

Great video again. Need to call the Jeep ladies out they are comical to watch. 😂

[@Crazy_Terryy]

Aerial shots ftw!!

[@TheBigDanShow]

Thanks Mate

[@donaldgraves8781]

It's all good Drone or No Drone The Wife and I enjoy all your Video's

[@reynoldsautorepair173]

I’m sure this is a crazy question but why so much water coming out of the toons

[@earlmarney]

The drone gives us accurate depth of field. When you think a trailer is about to back into another vehicle, you watch from overhead and realize it is 100 yards away. But it is the close shots that give us an intimate view of the personalities of the people, and this is what is most important to many. So a good balance of both is best, and you seem to be doing it very well.

[@TheBigDanShow]

Thank you my friend! 🙏

[@wazza1479]

I like the drone shots, but what I want to see is the pretty lady fails.🤓

[@JimDearden]

luv the drone

[@TheBigDanShow]

Thanks my friend. We just bought a new one for this season. It’s going to be on another level

[@burkeearley5017]

Drones are great when looking at cool boats and pretty ladies!

[@tambb57]

20%drone.

[@TheBigDanShow]

💪

[@garyradtke3252]

A good balance of both. Drone shots sometimes give better coverage of what is happening. It also gives an overall idea of the area which is interesting if not familiar with the area.

[@bamaingaoutdoors153]

Give us all angles that you can.

[@wayneo1486]

why do so many people stay on their boats when pulling out?

[@nevadaboy9769]

You know there Dan my friend i think your channel is funny & entertaining but i can see why ppl flip you off an what not, when there having issues there already pissed at the world & then when they see there being filmed its like pouring salt on the wound no doubt! i consider myself pretty damn good at trailering my boat in & out of the water but one time we were at June Lake, Ca & we were to cheap to pay the boat ramp fee so we found a spot off the beaten path & put my boat in the water, well i fired up my 70hp outboard to warm up & i forgot to put the plug in my 16ft tri-hull so about the time i noticed it filling with water the wind picked up & it was blowing my boat into some big rocks so to save my prop i jumped over & yanked the steering wheel to avoid them well by doing so i snapped the steering cable, now were about 80mi from home in NV so we decided to go fishing/trolling anyway by steering the outboard with our hands & arms, needless to say that was a chore so we gave up went home! now if anybody would have been filming that scene i would have come unglued, anyways even the best have are days lol its all good fun entertainment what the hell keep up the good lords work someone has to do it lol 👍✌

[@Eddievoneddie13]

There is no expectation of privacy in a public place. I had a career where we were extremely visible to the public eye, with photos and videos taken of us quite often. If you know your sh-t and are competent and confident, you shouldn't even care about someone video-ing you at the boat ramp.

[@wernerpanchenko6542]
