Guys, I Can't Make This Boat Ramp Stuff Up...

The things I see and capture at the boat ramp you could never make up. There's always something happening. Boat ramps are the best entertainment! #clips #boat #capture #fail #cantmakethisup #entertainment #broken #boating #funny #motor #sunday #summer #southcarolina #new #happening

[@sanitarium4]

Boat loading tip: When backing the trailer in, only put 2/3 of the bunks into the water so you can see 1/3 out of the water. Drive or pull the boat close enough (about halfway) up the trailer. Hook the winch on and crank the boat up. By doing this, the boat will center itself between the bunks and not float around. I find this the fastest and easiest way. Hope it helps.

[@jackparsons7477]

He's a beginner, give him a brake. You had to learn also, maybe he had nobody to teach him. Why did you go help him by teaching him boat ramp etiquette instead of trying make fun of him.

[@foundtacklefishing]

Before cell phones on KZbin growing up in Miami in the 80s that's exactly what would have happened. That's all we all learned back then. There was no internet to go watch videos on how to do it, yeah you had to take a boater's safety course but you were pretty much on your own for figuring out trailering and launching and loading. You will go to the best you could and then the older guys at the ramps would come over and give you hints and within four to six months you did it like a pro. It made everyone better at what they did.

Never be on the ramp for more than 3 minutes..either loading or unloading 😂

[@kurtgreen1040]

Launched on the Detroit river Monday those people would have never made it I was the third boat at the dock because it took so long to park after launch we just kept backing out so we wouldn’t hold up the line a lot of boats went in really fast I was quite surprised with only one dock

[@jamesfranks545]

No reason to at all. Back trailer in and put the boat on under power and pull it out up into the lot outa the way. Its not hard.

[@kurtgreen1040]

@@jamesfranks545 a lot of places have no power loading signs and all state owned docks in Michigan are no power loading so that doesn’t work every where

[@groverstreet7128]

Easier said then done. I fish by myself most of the time and i have to launch and load it by myself. Takes longer than 3 minutes either way.

This footage is sleepy compared to what regularly occurs at boat ramps in The Keys! Papa Joe’s restaurant was the best for viewing boat ramp madness, with tables on the porch overlooking the ramp (and excellent seafood besides). The “Cuban boat launch” method is a perennial favorite often seen. No shortage of entertainment value.. always a good show!

We love the Keys! We took our little jon boat out to Alligator Reef. 😅It was gorgeous!

Have never figured out why people put the whole trailer in the water

Get boards wet boat will pull on alot better

[@fredv7487]

To lazy to crank it on. That would mean they would have to do manual labor. What the hell it's a drive on trailer. Their boats probably look like crap too.

[@life_of_riley88]

​@@fredv7487Many boats cannot be loaded unless the trailer is submerged. My Gambler bass boat would wear your arm out trying to crank it up the bunks, but it drives right on really nicely.

Bottom of his boat looks like the surface of the ramp. I’m sure.

Contrary to popular belief that's actually good for the bottom. running it up on the ramp gives you more grip in those fast turns.

[@godfreydaniel2308]

Although the Javelin isn't new, I wonder if it and boating in general are new to the "operator". That whole escapade was painful, and teeth grinding, to watch, and the Ranger driver in the second half wasn't much better. Some days the hits just keep coming.

[@scottreece2421]

That 300 series Ranger, there is no better trailer to put a boat on. If you cant put a 300 series on the trailer you need to sale your boat. I know, Ive had one for 32 years. Even if you come in crooked the trailer straightens you out. You almost cant miss. I did say almost.

[@kenbrown5449]

Folks at launches are always willing to help from what I've seen. Especially when it is a solo person.

[@sheepishmclemmingston5550]

The thing is, no matter how nice folks are, there will come a point in time when either no one is around to help, or no one is willing. If you cant dock your boat, jump out, bring your rig and trailer down and position it, jump out that and back into the boat, trailer your boat and secure it for pulling and jump back in your rig and back up the the ramp for final securing for the road and doing all that running solo, you really don't belong on the water. Its really not that technical or hard physically and any boater who is truly competent should be able to accomplish this with little effort. This will also provide that the competency level ON the water is likely the same, leading to a safer experience to everyone out there

[@kenbrown5449]

@@sheepishmclemmingston5550 Captain Obvious, Mr. Know it All and Water Safety Guru all in one person. Of course, you did have the benefit of being born launching a boat and assured of full mobility throughout your lifetime. Some folks are not as lucky as you, so if you see that someone at the ramp could use a hand, just help out.

[@BlackWarriorLures]

I'm glad I had a dad to teach me how back a boat trailer, load and unload. Not everyone is as fortunate. A simple class, practice after watching a few KZbin videos, or get an experienced friend to help you out will go a long way to improvment.

[@timlong1462]

I wish more people cared to learn to do something. There's so many videos to teach ramp etiquette and how to's. I had nobody teach me, I just have a semblance of self awareness that I will be the person everyone is waiting on. I'd be too self conscious to be these people.

Don’t back the trailer in so far. Get the boat somewhat on the bunks put the winch on it and winch it up the front of the trailer it’s not that complex.

The boat ramp is a comical site. Every year. People go out and buy a boat no nothing about it. It could get you killed. I seen a man and his family in a million dollar boat here in Florida anchor in a inlet, water rushing in from the gulf, throw his kid in the water. The boy was rushing with the tide. His dad jumped in caught up with him could not get back. Told his wife to throw him a line. She throws the entire rope in the water. I went over got them on my boat, brought them to their boat. Told them never swim in a inlet.

[@paigeandkevinvideos]

I'm amazed at all the kids without PFDs on in Florida. I don't care if it's required or not, my kids will always wear them.

[@billhayden3637]

There is no excuse for showing up with a boat and not have a clue as to how you get it loaded. Good lord, all you really have to do is sit there and observe how it's done. Before you take your boat to the lake, spend a few hours at the boat ramp OBSERVING.

[@michaelsevens]

If it's your first time owning a boat it doesn't hurt to ask people the proper way to do these things. It's better to ask than look like a freaking idiot. When you're buying the boat you tell them hey it's my first time with a boat which probably the salesperson knows that already. But these are the things that you asked so you do it properly. Also people forget about using youtube. There are plenty of videos I believe I have not looked it up yet but I'm sure there's at least one or two that will show you how to do this properly and quickly. It'd be scary to be on this Lake right here. I know if I was there, I would be teaching everyone who doesn't know how to do this properly.

[@karencarothers2043]

[@imabeliever244]

Kansas is known for its windy lakes and windblown ramps and I never had a problem loading? Do they not know that the wind is blowing?

Or put some guides on the back...no matter how much experience you have, wind and currents can sometimes be a challenge...make it easy on yourself. And, don't submerge the trailer~!

[@imabeliever244]

I did have guides and I would submerge my trailer fenders about an inch so that the front third of the bunks were barely sticking out of the water. Drive right on and slide up the bunks while tilting the motor up and killing it
