I am a food vendor. If you want to see some professional trailer pulling and backing up into tight spaces etc go to a festival or carnival during setup day. Watch us fight over who pulls in first to setup their kitchen 😂

[@TheByard]

@@piinocchiio5730 As a kid I liked to watch the fair ground move into a grass field ready for the annual Barnet Horse Fair north of London UK. All the trucks would be second hand, a tractor unit with the generator mounted behind the cab, towing a huge double rear axle and front steering axle and behind that the showman's home trailer again steering axle up front and one rear axle. Amongst the tractor units would be a few Diamond T ex US army trucks, they would be used to wire winch the other stuff in if the field was slippery. Those guys would pull and twist the rides into the exact position for the fair set up.

Seeing all those people helping that truck that almost lost it gives me hope for society. Esp with the country's current climate. But this is also Florida and people are inherently decent down there. I lived in Naples for 2 years during high school (2000-2002) and it was truly something going out boating. We'd blast out to Keewaydin pretty much every weekend. The generosity while we were out there boating was amazing. Shout out to the Burger Boat! And anyone from Naples I also want to shout out the Great Canoe Dock Race as being one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Literally so much effin fun. If you don't know I'm sorry, if you know then oh you know!

@@fastwin493 Back in the 50s school holidays were spent on my uncles farm, I would be put on the train in London and met at Wrexham, N. Wales. For 5 weeks I'd be out in the fields driving a Brand new Ferguson tractor and many different types of trailer. Returning to school teacher had us write an essay on the holiday,, she kept me in after school for lying. Dad was waiting at the gate and came looking for me, when he heard the reason he put the teacher in her place and made her apologize to me. I went onto to win Faster trailer backing at The Southern Counties Young Farmers Club Show. Have driven Semi's and all kinds of construction plant and loved it. Tip of the week. Watch where the trailer wheels are to start the turn, boat trailers have the axle near the rear so the trailer will react differently to a center axle trailer.

[@TheByard]

@@fastwin493 My father was a works superintendent on major construction projects, At 16 I started working under him on a tunnel project,every time he stepped out of his office he yelled my name and gave me a job. One day I complained that I was doing more that the other laborers, he replied see how good I am giving you more that the rest. He schooled me well and put me in every department so I had a grasp of the entire picture. This did me very well and I my turn worked as Senior Inspector of Works around the world and had a super time.

@@fastwin493 When my uncle told me he bought a tractor I teared up, he'd farmed with horses and horses were n\being put down due to mechanization.

Im from Minnesota. We have lots of lakes and slimy boat ramps. I've come prepared with blocks of wood with a rope attached to shove behind front and back tires to help prevent or at least slow the vehicle from going back too far!? And then yank them out fast when ready to move out? And also have big chunks of carpet to put in front of all four tires for extra traction -this is done during winter when cars get stuck in snow and ice. I'm actually amazed people here don't come prepared with these also. I see them digging out nowhere and dumping kitty litter. I've come to the rescue for countless people.

[@kartboarder22g17]

It's funny to watch all these 2wd trucks as you are down in FL. We barely have any up here in MN. Land of the lakes.

Moral of the story: buy a 4wd before investing in a boat.

[@WoodardWoodcraft]

There's no way I'd ever take a 2wd truck to launch anything. I'm paranoid so even with just my jetskis I always put it into 4wd but sometimes the ramps we use are super slick or steep. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

My Dad and I would launch his boat in the dark of the morning, towed behind his 1960 Ford Fairlane and never get the rear tires wet. I was 7 years old, he would walk down the trailer tongue, push the boat off, and I would hold the bow line while he parked the car. In all our trips to the ramp we never saw anyone in trouble. Maybe boaters were just more skilled in the late sixties!!

The ones that have problems landing their boat is they back their trailer too far into the water. Your trailer should never be so far that it floats and your vehicle should definitely never be in the water!

[@Steve-yr5vi]

That was a great save, as a boat owner I'd like to know how it happened. Nobody sets out to put the back half of their truck in the water. Not only am I a boat owner I am also a parent, I can say nearly every "what was I thinking" event in my life came when I was dealing with something having to do with my kids. When I take my boat to the ramp I either make sure my kids are on the dock where I can see them or in the boat where I can see them, tell them to stay put, so far it's worked out. Given the age of that truck I suggest they go ahead and have the axle, brake calipers rebuilt, chances are water got in.

How do steel and/or aluminum trailers float. My trailer for my little 16ft Lowe doesn’t float and the ones I see on here are much larger.

[@robwagner8337]

Tires and wood bunks provide quite a bit of floatation. However, Mostly it is from putting the trailer in the water too far.

[@budm9982]

Great save! About the trailers floating at the ramp. Am I missing something? I've loaded my lighter boat than these at numerous different ramp angles for the past 20 years. Most of them Mississippi river ramps which are steeper than most. Unless the water is high, then its launching in the parking lots which is of course very low angle. What I don't get is the depth that these people on Miami Boat Ramps back their trailers to. Is it really necessary to get the trailer so deep that the boat floats all the way to the bow winch? Its that depth that is floating the trailers. Tires full of air float when fully submerged. Can't the boats be driven up on the bunks or rollers which positions the boat more precisely and keeps the trailer from floating? Maybe the motor has to be used a little to power the boat onto the last foot or two of trailer but that is a normal, isn't it? Power the boat on and/or use the winch to pull it on the last bit?

[@BillyBobBiden]

This country definitely needs more people

[@BrewskyTCG]

I signed in just to ask (because I have never owned or unloaded/load a boat or jet ski), do they make extended trailers so you do not have to go deep into the ramp where it is harder to get your tires to grip?

[@NBSV1]

You don’t really have to go that deep with a regular trailer. If you’re launching you normally don’t want to go in so far the boat is completely floating. Same with pulling it out. The boat should be on the trailer at least a little.

[@peterpringle4164]

Ok granted I haven't launched a boat since the eighties, but whatever happen to winching your boat up on your trailer. I remember our boat had a E Z trailer and you only had to back it up to the rims on tires.

[@waynewong3880]

Most boat trailers these days are the bunk type, thus winching will be difficult. Boats are larger and heavier now than the old days. Roller type trailers are easier to winch but are dangerous…come to a sudden stop on the freeway and the boat will fly over the winch and onto the tow vehicle. Or the boat can just roll off if the tie downs break and the winch fails to hold.

[@sportscarclinic]

@@waynewong3880 If you tow a trailer, roller or bunk, and don't know enough to anchor the back of the boat with tie-downs, or you tow with just the winch attached, you're an idiot, regardless of what type of trailer you're towing.

[@john98889]

Does anyone know the name of the boat that was struggling to get on the trailer?

[@mikeingeorgia1]

I wonder if the floating trailer is made of aluminum? That would make it lightweight and good for pulling but then too light for having 4 tires full of air when it’s in the water.

[@Russ-nf9tv]

It's funny that few people have ever seen someone with experience backing a trailer. People always yell at me because I slip the trailer under the boat just a few inches from the dock. Guess what? I have a mirror, and I can see my fender and the dock too!

Remember ski boats can only reverse in one direction. They pull to the left. That’s why that Mastercraft was backing up off the trailer, he wasn’t drifting.

[@gideonmuse5664]

Did anyone else see the challenger pulling the small trailer. At 8:40

[@rcl3514]

2 things come to mind. If your trailer floats, dont drop it in so far and let the boat weight anchor it if you need to. Also, why does every one with twin or trips on the back, use the wheel to steer in reverse? If the boat is set up properly, you can vary the thrust or direction of the engines, while moving backwards to keep you straight or move in a certain direction. Both of the Towboat US capts did it trying to get the bow of the boats pointed where they wanted. They both turned the engines instead of backing down on 1 engine.
