Boat Ramp Mistakes You Must Avoid

[@jameslovitt994]

Should've just loaded that boat in the bed of the truck and forgot about the trailer, truck was deep enough.

[@jimbeggs2837]

Your show may be a hell of a lot better if ya don't talk so much

[@fincrazydragon]

"More power" may always work on Star Trek, but on Earth it just fucks up your boat. 😂

Nice intro keeps getting better every week. Yep them Miami guys are ok but can't beat the #intodeep footage 😅

[@GeorgeT6566]

Now Brother that was a good show. Lots of nice behind the scene shots. and them two guys trying to get the boat unstuck from the trailer was just to funny.

Oh Dan, what a great upload, thanks! I was just watching with my chin on the floor, what the …. 😳🤪. Had a really tough day at work today and finished super late. I was eating my supper and watching your vid and I felt the aches & pains drift right away with the crazy boat ramp antics! Loving your new logo and intro too. Have a great weekend to you all.

[@philliphoward7455]

B.D. thanks for the video. One of my favorite pastimes is watching people whether it's one of your videos or the Wal - Mart parking lot. It's entertaining. Watching your video, it's astounding how some people have a boat and trailer but don't have a clue on how to back the trailer up. I'm not an expert but I swear I could do better than some. Thanks again.

Good thing Pontoon guy didn't have a 300Hp+ engine, probably would've ripped the chain and bolts right out. Bet you'll have plenty of good footage material after Labor Day (a day when I avoid the boat launch, don't want to launch my boat in that circus)!

Those two guys with the white sea hunt must have been ex military. The speed and precision with which that boat was loaded and hauled out was impressive.

[@goodbyemr.anderson5065]

what military have to do with loading a boat, its just common sense, i load and unload my boat by myself in minutes, its so easy its not even funny, but i have been doing it a long time and my father taught me how when i was little.

[@RobotLegJim]

THIS, is why I stay a million miles away from public ramps, especially on weekends. I was lucky to be part of a crack team from a local marina, and we could have boats on or off a trailer in less than 2 minutes. People actually used to clap when we worked our magic, and currents/winds almost never caused an issue (almost! 😂). ALWAYS face your bow into the wind/currents, and sail a slight arch into your trailer. Attempting to load straight onto your trailer on anything other than a perfectly calm day, gets you your 15 minutes of fame on KZbin. DON’T practice you trailer backing skills on the ramp. Practice ANYWHERE other than the public boat ramp on a busy day. Before our boss let us represent his name (it was on all our trucks) he made us practice in the back lot, doing figure 8’s in each direction, without stopping to make a correction. We had to be able to do it in our sleep. These videos have me laughing so hard sometimes, the tears are running down my leg! 😂

[@edwardmylnychuk5774]

yepper, as someone who had a 14 runabout i had no problems backing in or loading, some people are just not smart enough to do this stuff,

[@jabtrade]

I don't own a boat but thanks to Dan, I know that if I get one, I can load and unload it like a pro.

[@rickbarros4958]

Good show!

[@thomashardwick673]

They need more than help with that boat and truck. Need a body shop and you need to open big Dan boat trailer services. 😂

[@FourMaxK1]

This stuff is funny / nuts. Makes we want to buy another boat, leave the drain plug out when launching, park the van and trailer oh so casually when I hear the pre teen daughters yell "daddy, the boat is filling up with water". I resolved the problem immediately and told them to jump in the boat and we would help the pump drain the water by trying to get up to enough speed to drain the water. LOL. Fortunately it worked out - Daddy wasn't too bright!

[@genefogarty5395]

Shame on the whole damn mess. Lol, looks like that bolt on goddess at 2:38 was getting some air on the money maker, probably overheated from too much use while hubby watched. But the brother and sister at 12:54 was heartwarming, what teamwork! I bet daddy's proud. Do they hand out red noses and oversize shoes at the ramps?

[@jan-hj2no]

can you explain to me why no one unplugs their trailer lights before backing into the water? was taught that was the proper procedure.

[@TheBigDanShow]

Not here I guess

[@moguy1973]

Do they think that a boat that is floating on top of the water is going to magically attach itself to to the trailer that 3 feet below it on the ramp? These people don't deserve to own a boat.

[@jameslovitt994]

New technique from Michigan, winch the trailer up to the boat.

[@pissonya06]

9:05-9:30 that’s me. Showing y’all how it’s done

[@Bikergerbil]

Why do so few boaters have dock lines? A line up front and one at the back would allow some control when wind or tide is pushing them off line. Better still get a trailer with a set of rollers on a swinging frame like we have in the UK. You only need to get the bow lined up in the cradle and then winch it on as it self-centralises. But of course, it's much more entertaining the way you guys do it. 🤣

[@TheBigDanShow]

I think the rollers rust extremely easy in this saltwater. I don’t know though.

[@wayneo1486]

are there any possibilities of boat licenses in north America in the future? those drone shots are great.

[@katesonnenberg79]

We have them in Western Canada. My hubby grew up at his parents fishing lodge on Kootenay Lake in B.C. and even he had to write the test for his boat licence.

I used to haul a 20 ft. sailboat to the marina, raise the mast alone, power away from the dock, then sail out the 2 mile channel. No problem. At 65.

[@JFunk717]

Man, those two guys couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag!! A wet one at that!

[@dougaranda6187]

Unbelievable. All they had to do was scoot the bow over towards the dock and then push the stern off the pole. Of course they never should’ve been in that situation in the first place.

[@JFunk717]

I was hoping he would hit the truck again trying to get unstuck.

[@rossevans1774]

You know you got a problem on the ramp when your boat is tries to overtake your truck.

[@JFunk717]

@@rossevans1774 I mean, if it isn’t your very first time loading, you have no excuse for no knowing how far to back in to begin with. Even so, my very fist time, I looked like a pro compared to most of these people.

The biggest issue next to backing up a trailer is they sink their trailers into the water wayyyy to far, you want to see some of the bunks sticking out.

[@originalgrunger784]

Isn’t there some old joke from the late ‘70s about “C’mon back, C’mon Back. In deeper, In deeper”.

I just dont understand how people dont realize the bunks have to be high enough out of the water to guide your boat on straight. That is what they do. Come on people. Is common sense.

[@Silverado1222]

Top of the trailer fenders just in the water will be just the right depth.

[@DonnaKeffer]

Alabama boat trailer manufacturers need to put some type of device that hooks to the trailer and vehicle that beeps when the bunks are at perfect depth.

[@wizardofoz641]

Can't believe how many people are clueless. Also, get everyone off the boat at the dock before you put it on the trailer! 12:56

[@Friscotxman]

Do some of these people only put their boats in the water once a year?

[@11385djg]

what's with the boating in US, they back their trailer too deep. Is it you ramp there a bit steep? It's not how we do it in Australia.

[@BPRescue]

15:56 It amazes me the lack of common sense. Ok, you made a big mistake here and got lucky as it could have been so much worse. But stop and think a moment. I don't know how long they fought this thing before they realized the guide was blocking the stern, but breaking it off was his solution? Maybe consider how the boat got there and reverse action. All he had to do was float the bow to the starboard/forward of the winch and allow the stern to float the same direction, then just push it back since you are already in the water. If you get your feet wet, you are doing it wrong, but once they screwed this up, the only option was cut power, maybe even trim the motor and get a guy or two in the water at the bow to float it off. He got lucky even beyond the damage already done and risked damage to the lower unit, prop, transom, trailer, etc. All this because the trailer was too deep and too much power. Crazy how I can launch and load myself without getting wet and 4 people can't manage this, even making it worse with their solution.
