Grady White 36 Extreme Boat Launch

Grady White 36 Express Extreme Boat Launch w/ Upper Station Tower using Dodge Ram @ Quality T-Tops

[@barrymountain6206]

A well choreographed and executed maneuver. It's very rewarding to do this correctly without damage or injury and this crew did it well. I just can't imagine how the hitch stayed on the ball with all the uplift created at the coupler by the frame dragging along the breakpoint between the ramp/drave way pitch change. Sorry, gawkers. Nothing to see here but skill and success. Press on!

[@lylemorton8641]

After watching so many boat docking dummy videos it was refreshing to see some people that actually know what they’re doing.

[@latetotheparty3070]

If you have ever been a boat owner and were familiar about boat ramps, the sound of grating metal on the pavement in my opinion qualifies as extreme. I was holding my breathe the whole time. Nice job and nice boat.

[@jeeperjeffjeffreynolds7419]

The “extreme” part was the trailer dragging a groove in the pavement.😂

[@johnnywalker7350]

Extreme would be how he pulls it out of the water

[@rihamy2nd]

@@johnnywalker7350 I suspect that one made into the boat ramp “fails” video compilation.

[@grngs1]

Best boat launch I've seen on here, very well organized. The dodge has plenty of strength to tow that beast.

[@PeteR-ed9nd]

Besides being one of the best quality boats, those lines are gorgeous. Grady white boats look good on the water and on the trailer.

[@rejeanrobichaud]

Extreme smooth , great launch

Extremely nice boat.

[@Vzw-dj9rf]

And the ramp owners (and future users) thank you for the gouge marks from your trailer...

[@moon000dog]

all in all - its always nice to see a boat launch. i liked it.

[@lightningstrikestwice6302]

Finally a dually actually working! Instead of just posing. Great job at launching. Good team!

[@nsa6790]

All these people commenting about how this isn’t “extreme” have obviously never launched a 30+ foot boat weighing 7 tons at a ramp with a shitty dock.

[@rblood8076]

Plus the trailer scraping on the ramp drop angle with all that weight. It was still good watching to me.

[@craig853]

Not sure if you guys noticed but I think you may have scraped the trailer a little bit on the ramp. There was a scraping-like noise. Sounded like scraping. Probably scraped the bottom of the trailer a little bit.

[@paulhunter9613]

Craig carter, the tongue on the trailer was extended because when the tow vehicle gets to the point of floating the boat off the trailer the tires of the truck are still on dry concrete. Once the rear tires touch the green slime that grows on the ramp, it’s all over, that truck will end up in the water. If you don’t believe me, try walking in the slime at the waters edge and you’ll end up on your butt

[@shawneddy1711]

How the heck are there so many dislikes on this? I swear this was as clean a launch of a big boat I have ever seen on KZbin.

[@xae7816]

I remember watching this all time when I was little 😂

[@tonyperkins7998]

The only thing about the extreme nature of this video was the amount of time I wasted waiting for "extreme".

[@ThePoohlewis]

One of the reasons I always do a quick scroll through first to see if it's worthwhile.

[@wadebass5600]

Maybe the name of the boat was "extreme"

[@rodyates1]

No, they just left a word out of the title: extremely.....boring

[@jordanmatthei9404]

[@zoobrizz]

Agreed

[@dannyhill148]

You guys cut the video short. I guess you must have turned off the camera when the extremeness started happening. Happens all the time with rookie cameramen, they think the camera is still running and miss the extreme part of the shot. Oh well you guys are still learning I forgive you but for next time keep the camera running the whole time so nobody misses anything extreme. Thanks Guys!

[@jimlepeu577]

Can’t believe a little boat like this has a bow thruster 🤠 😂 🇬🇧

[@diceman220]

WOW, Awesome. Nice job!

[@GoMiGman]

Tremendous. That trailer was bending at the rails pretty good from the weight of that boat at the bow. There was A LOT of stress on the ball clip at the hitch once it started down the ramp I thought it would raise the back end of the truck if it didn't snap out of the ball first but I guess it worked out pretty good. A boat that long you need the really submerge the trailer to get any kind of floating out of that boat. Well done.

[@darylthompson1132]

Certainly would like to see a video of you pulling the boat out again.

Nice to see about launched With out the truck also lunched GOOD JOB !!!,

There was NOTHING extreme about that, except your ground crew didn't know what the hell they were doing. It took entirely too long to scrape the shit out of your trailer and the concrete ramp.

[@gsp49]

Bunch of idgiots.

[@60viking]

Yeah you tell em.

The extreme part is when he goes to refill the boats fuel tank.

[@313Cerberus]

Nice to see someone with a dually who actually uses it!

[@rohaymico]

KZbin generation I guess. Watching a group of competent people launch a large boat safely and without drama results in over 500 dislikes? People who know boats appreciate that this is a big boat to launch with only a 1 ton and trailer.

[@njsortor]

lol i wanna see the recovery when their puttin it on the trailer xD

[@hijulian2]

Rollers have a significant advantage but it is very dangerous if you unhook the boat before it reaches unlaunching time.

[@chuckmiller8107]

Yep, they might need about 4 more people especially if the wind is blowing. 🙂

Aww Man, The title got me on this one! I watched the whole thing waiting for the "extreme" part! Where is the extreme part?

[@robertlangley258]

waylon earls .......The extreme part was where you stayed for the entire boat launch. Now like the rest of us; welcome to the “Extreme Idiots Boat Launching Regalia.” I agree with the one entry: It would have been more interesting to see how much concrete this guy scraped off the boat ramp while hi-centering his entire rig, especially if the tide was low when he returned.

A boat this size is best launched using a marine travel lift crane.

Todd Simone Thanks. My thoughts exactly

[@Sheba936]

Sonny Gough Add mine to that thought also.

[@wrzl1675]

Obviously you’ve never launched a boat of that size and weight using a trailer... there’s a reason why that boat is supposed to be travel lifted in and out of the water. This was a lesson on how NOT to launch a boat of that size and weight.

[@blazenabel1177]

ya, not extreme at all, ramp looks in great condition and that 36 GW doesn't weigh that much. Top is off, boat has outboards so it doesn't take much water to float it. Try this with a 35 Carolina Classic.

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

Extreme abuse of the first axle and frame on the trailer, extreme stupidity, but nothing extremely entertaining.

I had a 20 ft. Grady Overnighter years ago..got caught 10 miles off Jupiter inlet one day in bad weather.went from 2to3, To 5to8 real fast..Jupiter inlet had outgoing tide witch made it worse..I surfed down south to Palm Beach Inlet.!! We we’re tied to the seats with Life-Jackets on..Took a “few” over the back and front..My Grady White saved us,,no doubt about it..

[@johnthompson2790]

So for those that don't know. Quality T-Tops builds towers and t -tops, fuel tanks and other things for hundreds of boats and manufactures each year. The shop alone hold probably 50 boats at a time. If you listen in the backround you can hear shop noise. This boat was only loaded and unloaded to have work done. Located in Tarpon Springs FL.

[@josephpinter2995]

They made it a lot harder than it really is? the boat should be ready with driver at wheel, back it in til it floats and pull the truck and trailer out DONE in 36 seconds

[@utube012341]

Joseph Pinter exactly extremely inept at launching a boat should be the title

[@Graeman]

You are supose to prep the boat before putting it in the water, not afterwards. The boat ramp is on then off. If the hitch is adjustable for up/down he should also put it as high as it will go to help with the low slung trailer from dragging so much, or use the big boat ramp longer, more gradual decline.

[@johnbrown8265]

Very Nice Launch ! real good example of challenging boat launch , I am guessing this had to occur after the Vessel was out of the water for extensive repairs .

Normally you can't trailer anything over 35 feet because its too big and too hard to trailer, you would normally hire a company to put this on a tractor trailer and have it lifted out of the water by a crane, but there were doing it on their own

[@ellokittymew]

My home port is Black River Harbor, North of Bessemer (near Ironwood), MI in the U.P. on Lake Superior. A remote and beautiful port set in the Porcupine Mountains and there is a reason why boat traffic is so light there. This ramp looks flat compared to the grade we deal with at BRH and I've seen guys burning all 4 tires (sliding from side to side) trying to get out their boats out; even on dry days. The charter captains and most larger boats put in/take out at Ontonagan, MI to the East because anything over 23 feet is an adventure on BRH. I always carry a heavy duty strap with hooks, because each year I end up hooking onto a couple of guys to help them out. BRH is one of the most beautiful and remote ports on the Great Lakes. It is located in the Ottawa National Forest (one of the last stands of huge virgin timber), so there are no structures on the high cliffs for miles in either direction. It is in the Porcupine Mts and the several waterfalls on the Black River and a long suspension bridge that spans the river adds to the experience. Some of the best native lake trout fishing on Superior and lots more to do for those who don't fish. Tons of hiking/biking trails. Check out Bear Track Cabins, Powder Hound Lodge and Black River Lodge for great places to stay close to the harbor on Black River Road. A must do is climbing to the top of Copper Peak; which is the highest ski flying (not jumping) hill in the world and one of the highest free standing structures. Open during the summer. After the ride on the ski lift, an elevator takes you up and from there it is 7 stories of narrow, grated steps (you can see through them) to a wooden platform just big enough for 3 people. Definite "pucker factor" involved and the top sticks out over the end of a Mountain, which makes it look much further down. Most people don't make it to the top.
