PT2 Alabama's Worst Boaters, Woman nearly RAN OVER!

[@hammiethebarber4254]

😂😂😂😂😂that last one had me rolling

[@lunchboxx4816]

I'm by no means a professional captain or anything, but I do spend a ton of time on my boat...these videos make me feel so much better about my level of skill. They're hilarious and some people should just stay off the water...

[@nathank4708]

Or stay off the alcohol, on the water😂

[@trentthompson5110]

Two of the most common loading mistakes is not knowing the sweet spot depth for your trailer and boat combo. Keeping the runners at the perfect depth will help the boat center itself on the trailer even if you come in a bit sideways and when approaching the trailer not reacting quick enough to counter the stern drift. Too many people want to steer a boat like a car. Not going to work. The #1 main mistake people make is putting the trailer in too deep as Dan has pointed out here😊

[@bonniejosavland3227]

Boat steering is completely different from driving a car 🚙

[@yazooyellowcats1403]

Exactly! Most trailers if you leave a little bit of center bunks exposed nearest to vehicle it will basically line itself up

[@MakingBankwthMela]

@bonniejosavland3227 I took my truck out and rented a haul to teach my wife how to back up properly? DBD Don't be dumb. It didn't work and divorce was a close first. 🙃

[@Scalamucci]

It seems like they were told they have to drive it on instead of using the winch.

[@miman-ck9jv]

All you have to do is watch your back tires are when you reach that certain spot just put it in the same spot/distance in our out of the water . Plus I watch for it to start to float when I’m backing it in .

[@cgreen1081]

Honestly a boating license with a test needs to be a requirement. There's just too many people that are unsafe out there.

[@dennis4081]

Hello from Germany. Here we need a licence for boats with more then 15HP. IWM (inland waters; motorized craft) and CWM (Coastalwaters motorized craft). When I see this guys I really think this is a good thing. Even when trailering isn't part of the test but docking on the jetty and the general handling is.

[@gwellington3146]

I agree but unsafe people will still make it behind the helm. Stupid is sneaky. All you can do is be as aware, educated and experienced as possible. The actions of others are beyond our control.

[@shawncosmos5431]

Agreed! And its not just boater education that needs to be addressed. Add to it Trailering a boat. I live in South Carolina and have a 27’ boat which I use on Lake Murray and the coast. I’ve been boating for decades and have seen it all. I’m talking about the people hauling boats at 80 mph on the highway. No safety chains. Boats to far aft on the trailer so its swaying. No transom straps. I was in the construction equipment business so hauling equipment was a daily occurrence. It only takes a second for a locking pin on a trailer hitch to be over looked. A 2’ ball being used when a 2 5/16 is the proper size… Trailer bearings not being maintained.. Dry rotted tires.. And the typical no trailer lights. All these issues can result in a catastrophic event…

[@yakityakteriw6774]

I'm a new boater and in AZ they don't require a class. I took it regardless. 20 bucks, 6 hrs. Saving money on insurance even. What's crazy also AZ doesnt require insurance either

Ohhhh he doesn’t own a boat???? Hmmmmm but I bet he’s in the excellent at it all category. 😉 You’re correct when describing some boating days. You come back tired, could have had weather etc etc etc and the boat ramp can test the strongest relationship.

Almost all boat loading issues are caused by the trailer being in too deep.

My #1 rule with my wife (or anyone else with me) is to NEVER stand between the boat and the truck while either are moving. After watching these videos I can't help but wonder how many people are injured between boats and trucks.

[@Michael-rg7mx]

I saw a guy stick out his foot to stop a boat. Broke both bones in his leg. It smashed between the boat and dock.

[@shawncosmos5431]

Agreed.. You’re a common sense guy!!! Back in the 1990’s on Lake Murray SC, a group of people were swimming with their boats rafted up off an island. A guy fired up his twin engine boat.. He didn’t check at all to see who was near him and literally backed the boat into a lady. It was just horrific. Obviously her injuries were awful. If memory serves she survived and healed up…We swim off our boat all the time and constantly monitor who and what is closing on us.

[@Eddievoneddie13]

It seems like quite a few boaters with outboards or stern drives don't understand how to use their unique directional thrust capabilities (forward and reverse) to better manuever their boats. Some power boaters also appear to think that a boat turns like a car, as though the bow should steer like front wheels(!)

One thing I haven’t noticed on any of these trailers is side bunks. I have had them on my trailers and they do help to keep the boat within an inch or two centered on the trailer.

[@TheBigDanShow]

Not common on bigger trailers

[@phatrides222000]

I just took out my 24' pontoon a few weeks ago for the first time. Thankfully it didn't go like this! I expected it to and expect future trips to look like this.

[@JollyGreen79]

My wife wanted to learn and asked me to teach her how to back the trailer down the boat ramp so she can help out. She picked it up faster than a lot of men and also makes a lot of men look bad when she backs our 24' boat trailer down the ramp like a boss on the first attempt and even right to the perfect depth! We're a hell of a team and fast as a NASCAR pit crew when it comes to launching and trailering our boat. Then there's the opposite kind of people like many in your videos who just shouldn't own a boat or anything with a trailer for that matter, especially when time is of the essence like at the boat ramp on a busy day. I'd hate to be "that guy" who's taking forever and a day holding up the boat ramp. I always try to respect people's time, especially at the boat ramp and even more so when it's busy af.

[@kevindavis8607]

I spent many of summers on a very busy lake and my grandparents house was right next to the launch. The biggest contributing factor is obviously inexperience but alcohol is definitely more often the leading cause of the foolishness. These people have been out all day drinking, now think “oh I can line this up”. It makes for a bad time.

Especially pontoon boats. The issue come on the steep ramps and pulling the boats out of the water if they don’t have 4X4.

There is always that one guy who tries to load his boat up with 0 throttle with the bimini top up in 20mph side wind. Put the dang bimini top down if it's windy before loading!
