Mom Says Watch How It's Done!! | Miami Boat Ramps | Black Point Marina

[@randybye6539]

If the motor is still water, crank it up and push with the boat. I’ve done this on back down mud launches on the bayous of S. La.

[@killerrush77]

South LA has the WORST ramps, wet, slime, duck weed........

[@jimmiller5600]

Thanks to all the people who simply provided ballast when needed. "Help" doesn't have to be heroic, just timely.

[@jimkeys7580]

I use a U-Haul to splash the boat in the spring and pull it in the fall (have a seasonal dock) up in Ontario Canada. Costs less than $100/yr and I don't have to deal with the expense of a truck. If you only need them a few times/yr it makes financial sense.

[@badm0t0rf1ng3r]

I live nearby where these videos are filmed, sometimes its them putting the cart in front of the horse... they want the boat before they get the boat! But in your case, makes total sense.

[@jeffd4507]

Great idea. Where abouts in Ontario? I’m on Pigeon Lake.

[@id10t98]

I'm just the opposite. I rent a boat several times in the spring and summer and drive my truck full of gear to the marina and load in it and enjoy the day. It only costs me ~ $2,000/year and if you only boat a few times/year it makes financial sense.

[@erikschmidt476]

Seeing how busy these lakes are, really makes me want to go to the city for some peace and quiet time.

Knowing boat ramps are slick, especially this one, I’m amazed at how many people think 2wd trucks are sufficient. Also a reason why I will never own a 2wd lol. I live in FL and I know better lol

[@bodin1912]

I agree. I plan on always owning a 4WD vehicle

[@vicb.2708]

I had an 89 Ranger 2x4, x cab with the 2.9 and 5-speed. I LOVED that truck! The Front Range snow had to get deep, before the 4X4 Ram came out. Put 300 lbs. over the rear axle and well sipped tires on it, it would work 99.1% of the time in winter. I would never tow my 5th wheel or pull my 29' CC out of the water with it...however. 😜

[@gregmanning8967]

I've been putting boats in and out with a 2wd truck for 25 years. It helps when the boat is way under your tow capacity and you're careful. I've never had a problem.

[@ianperry9571]

Lol. Like I always say. 4WD is like having a condom. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

This channel is a great idea. I have always wanted a boat, but never owned one. This is an interesting to way to get a feel for some practical challenges while I save up.

[@Sam-sq3ut]

A cheap $40 tire inflator that you hook into your phone charger port comes in handy for 2WD vehicles. Drop your back tires from 35 to 20 psi and the traction is no longer a problem. They have settings so you can inflate the tires while you finish strapping your boat down, cleaning up, etc., before leaving the launch area

[@wesleywertz855]

100%. I drop mine down to 15 or less when I’m wheeling and no problem worrying about slipping a bead.

[@Sunburn57]

Good idea, but you want to have spare fuses handy in case you blow the one for the accessory power.

[@DavidRamm-x1m]

A bag of CB play sand is only a couple bucks at Lowe’s, Home Depot and such, stop where the tires start spinning and throw a hand full in front of the tires, back down a little and throw some more down and drive right out.

I have a 3/4 ton 2WD truck but I put an air locker in the differential so I don't have traction problems at the ramp. I would have gotten a 4WD truck but I got a smoking deal on my truck.

[@paulboomer7109]

They should treat the ramp like ice a little beach sand under the spinning wheel will help then sweep it up !😊

[@mursesherminator]

All those trucks having difficulty with pulling out their heavy boats appear to be 2-wheel drive with no limited-slip rear differential. If their rear wheels are slipping, they can engage their emergency brake 3 or 4 clicks to "fool" the rear end into delivering torque to BOTH rear wheels instead of just the one with the least traction. They may have to give it just a bit more go-pedal, but it works if you don't have 4-wheel drive!

If you're going to be towing a boat, why not spring for the four-wheel drive?

If I had to load a a boat ramp I would have a bag of sand in the back. Spreading a little would probably be all you need, easy fix.

[@2020HotShotTruckingLLC]

Some advise for those who are spinning their tires at the ramp: Outfit your boat and vehicle as you normally would. Go to a truck scale (CAT scale = $13.50) and weigh the entire combination. Disconnect the trailer and weigh the tow vehicle (reweigh at CAT scale = $3.00). Subtract the weight of the vehicle alone from the combined weight and this is the weight of the trailer. Subtract the rear (drive) axle weight of the vehicle only measurement from the rear (drive) axle weight of the combined measurement and that will give you the tongue weight. Adjust the position of the boat forward or backwards so the tongue weight it 10 - 15% of the trailer weight. If the tongue weight is lower than 10%, DO NOT DRIVE THAT RIG ON PUBLIC ROADS - EVER! If the tongue weight is too much for the rating of your tow vehicle, get a bigger tow vehicle or smaller boat / trailer.

[@RudyF6]

Had a Ford F-250 4x4 that had a GCWR of 17,500. With a slide in camper and towing my Formula 272 I rolled over the scale at 17,400 perfectly distributed and it drove like a dream at 70 on the freeway!

[@UTubeHandlesSuck]

TL;DR

[@robina.jensen6114]

Yes burn the tires to dry them, så they can stick again. Maybe there should be a box with sand so they could throw just a little on wet track? Or use a gas burner to dry the ramp.

Yes, I also need a U-Haul truck to get my sailboat out because my family car does not have the towing weight capacity, and I don't have any friends with truck (I wouldn't impose myself with that anyway). If there is another way without having to own a truck, I would like to know.

We all use single lines tied on both ends of the boat down under because it makes so much sense. However, we don't mess up the approaches that much that the stern needs such a pull. The two lines in American makes zero sense to me, it's double the work!

[@Mrsnichols1965]

4WD for the win.

[@greghuff3316]

No four wheel drive, try this trick. While gently accelerating, lightly apply the brakes. This reduces the tendency of the right wheel to spin which causes you to lose traction. Your lost as soon as you spin the tire otherwise.

I think it’s weird that in Miami/Fort Lauderdale you go to car dealerships and 1 out of 25 trucks are 4x4. And when you tell a salesman that you need a 4x4 and there’s 0 inventory of 4x4 and it’s like they’re trained to persuade you into a 2wd. Like “What do you need 4wd for? Florida is flat and it doesn’t snow here.” And this is where they end up.

I get push back all the time with this one line system, oh, it would need to be too long, RUBBISH, it will not work.

(or county has someone to clean ramps regularly, yea right ) common sense goes a long way, might make things easier, more enjoyable, cheaper than transmission, tires, truck, blood pressure, plus others wanting to use ramp & waiting thier turn at slipping & sliding if not prepared also, by the way high profile show off big slick tires make believe for show 4x4 trucks don't cut it, just something more expensive fancier to get stuck, how embarrassing, good for vids like this, serious experienced boaters knows what's needed, still sometimes no guarantees, but gave it your best chance !
