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
We all start out as beginners, maybe put the phone down and give the folks some pointers.
your smart enough to spend the money you should know what your getting into...
haha take a boating class..or save the money, go sit at the boat ramp watch others do it for a while. if your so stupid you don't know your boat has a reverse,,,,,,, you definitely do not need to be driving one. you are a danger to yourself and anyone else in the water.
Nah. This is WAY better!!
@@MakingBankwthMela Dude didn't own a yacht. Acting like he dropped a ton of money on that used tiny fishing boat and that single cab 2WD truck.
i was about to say the same exact thing...we all look like an idiot when it comes to something or other....if some jackass was sitting there with a camera filming me have a hard time in public i wouldnt be too pleased
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.
Before cell phones on KZhead 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.
Just remember you said that when he crashes into you That’s no excuse
SOME common sense is required. Also ALL the information is on your smart-phone
People would rather sit their with their cameras rather than lend someone a hand. Pathetic behavior.
@@sirchristopher7684I believe it has something to do with the person taking the video prolly Don't actually know how neither...
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.
will this pull the eyelet out?
@@grantgray1759 Naw, it’ll be fine.
Well truth be told the 2 bass boats have drive on trailers. They are designed to drive onto the trailer until the bow eye makes contact with the front roller. That's the theory anyways. I have a 20 ft Bullet bass boat and my partner never gets out of the truck nor I the boat when putting it on the trailer. I run it up until I make contact with the front roller then he pulls me out while I give the boat a little gas so I don't lose contact with the front roller as he pulls me out. In their defense the wind and current looked pretty strong making drive on trailer loading more difficult for them then it should be.
Boat loading tip number 2 , your non boat owning friends cannot teach you how to drive it on ...they think they can , but don't go there ..
@@MikeSmith-nu9wt I'd say you're 99% right about that. I don't own a truck, a boat nor a trailer, but I did show my friend how to reverse with a trailer and how to get his boat out of the water and onto the trailer. In my defense, I did have an ATV that I used to pull a trailer to load firewood, and have been fishing since I was 2yo and helped my dad with his boat since I was like 7-8... my friend is now my fishing partner and we can get his boat out of the water and have the ramp free for others in less than 5 mins
Gotta say, I've never seen someone get tired of watching and jump in the water to help. Lord have mercy.
That was extremely nice of the man to help out we all need it from time to time
100% bud, we all need a bit of help sometimes when we're out of our depth. Respect from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Gee, how much easier would that have been if that big lady had gotten off the boat.....😂
Make what up? He got it, was carefull, obviously a beginner, did damn good in my opinion. Nobody does it quickly and perfectly in the beginning
I'm a 3rd generation commercial fisherman. I've spent many years on in Kentucky on Lake Barkley and Ky lakes. Man I've seen and met some interesting humans that did NOT belong on the water. Love your channel
Thank you for watching! We appreciate it! 😊
Unbelievable.
Bet they thought the same about you on your first outing. 😂
@@rodleyeriffe9149 nope, your mom's head was in my lap but I still got her done.
@@rodleyeriffe9149 nope had your mom helping me . She can't drive very well but she is a "MASTER BAITER".
This is exactly why I refuse to buy a used boat. 🤦♂️
Same!! I say that alllll the time!
That's funny, I refuse to buy new ones. But I also know how to fix them.
Within 5 seconds I knew they needed some guidance. A good way to talk him nicely mightve been. "Hey, how are yall doing? Did yall catch anything? After he responds politely say, hey the piers on the side of the launch are really good places to put your boat. It would probably be easier for your wife to get out right there too. Concrete will be rough on that fiberglass wherebits rubbing..The Cletes on the piers are to tie your boat too. If you do that you can keep your motor running if you want and then back your trailer down and put your boat on it. Yall have a real nice boat. You need some help getting it on the trailer or anything.
That poor bass boat
The best comedy show is a lawn chair and a cooler of beer and sit at a boat launch.
Truth
Especially on July 4th weekend or any long weekends.
As my mother would say, "If you have nothing good to say, then say nothing."
They need to sell their boats. They don’t need to be on the water.
Agree 100% take up golf or something
He's standing there holding the rope with a blank stare on his face....smh
No. This is how to get the insurance money. We need people like this. So I can buy a real big ass boat.
Maybe someone needs to show them how to properly unload and load their boat? Maybe he doesn't know?
Nope. You either go in a complete expert or sell your boat 🙄
Have you ever thought about creating the Paige and Kevin School of Boat Launching, Recovery, and Dock Etiquette? You’d be rich!
🤣
Those types of people wouldn't attend as they already know it all. I was waiting for the woman to get out of the truck and turn it into a submarine.
Hearing the lower unit on that Javelin hit the concrete hurt my soul. The brain wasnt braining lol
Lol!
And just just think ...they drive automobiles too😅😂....the same way
😳
"Bless their hearts"
Lol!
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.
🤣
That's a BIGGGGGGGGG WOMAN in that boat!!
Bottom of his boat looks like the surface of the ramp. I’m sure.
Lol!
Have never figured out why people put the whole trailer in the water
Get boards wet boat will pull on alot better
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.
@@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.
And the car...
@@fredv7487 You aren't going to crank a 20ft fiberglass bass boat onto the trailer. It it a good idea to wet the bunks and pull back up enough that the wheel are about 75% submerged, but you have to drive those on the trailer to the roller. You aren't going to budge those boats once that are on the bunks. Smaller fiberglass boats, you probably can. Aluminum you absolutely can.
I did better docking my grandpa's boat at 8yrs old, with him yelling at me the whole time 😂
Exactly how my dad taught me when I was a kid 😂
Never be on the ramp for more than 3 minutes..either loading or unloading 😂
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
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.
@@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
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.
You guys need to teach your wife how to drive a boat.
True the dude may have been raised in the city his whole life, but at least he's getting out there and trying. He'll learn in time. As a ole duck hunter that's use to launching in low or no light scenario's to breezing through in day light. I have to remind myself not all people have the time or experience...........patients.
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.
It’s sad to see a javelin in such a escapade….. ya don’t see many javelins these days
Prayers
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!
Some folks have no business with a boat ZERO !! they cant drive a car worth damn either!!
We used to ski off boat ramps. Sitting on the edge with a slalom ski. In-gear. Thumbs up. Go. Thumbs up. Used to ski back to the ramp as well. Honestly, I thought that's why the ramps were built.
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 KZhead videos, or get an experienced friend to help you out will go a long way to improvment.
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.
Yeah I agree, what is dumber? The guy learning to moor and load his craft or the guy on the phone with nothing better to do?
I'm not a guy, but it's okay. 🙃
@@paigeattheboatrampregardless, you’re just a leach
The idget fuckingnwothbthe boat
Yup most fun to watch boat ramps. Been a boater all my life. I quit boating 10 years ago, couldn't take other boaters at the ramp.
It's the best entertainment!
@@paigeattheboatramp facts, unless you're the unfortunate one waiting for them to get your boat out of the water, it's getting dark and they've been trying to reverse their trailer on the ramp 5 times already and it's still not straight 😩
I would have lost it waiting on that mess
I’ve fished freshwater, inshore, & offshore for 40+ years. I’ve fished boats from a 14’ wooden boat, to a triple engine, 36’ Invincible CC. I’ve never understood why some boaters insist on floating their boat onto the trailer as opposed to driving it on. Aside from normal situations like when the captain is alone, etc. Is there a particular reason for this?
Boy, Ladies...those McDonald's drive thru's sure are a modern convenience.... ain't they.....? #Sheeeeeeet
i think i’d probably watch some youtube videos before taking my boat out. years ago i watched someone with me take the boat in and out of the water. learned a lot by keeping my mouth shut and and watched without question
Before cell phones, there would have been a group of people standing at the top of the ramp yelling at him for being too stupid to own a boat!
"Paige At The Boat Ramp" should be changed to "Karen At The Boat Ramp". None of the people with boats in this video are doing anything wrong.
#1 tip for using boat ramps. Stay away from them on the weekends!
This is why i won't go near a boat ramp on the weekend
Boat Landing License or use the Boat Ramp Pilot. I think if a guy showed up with a T-Shirt reading Official Boat Landing Pilot, $3. He would make $2500 a week just standing on the dock flat footed, mouth shut, just responding to waves to 'take it from here'. I thought the first lady was going to sink the truck 45 feet out.
Talking about CLICK BAIT…. That’s 12:09 I won’t get back. I kept waiting for something crazy to happen, nope just inexperienced boaters trying to trailer their boats! But I was on the edge of my seat! 😂😂😂
I hate people who just sit on the dock or have kids swimming around my boat when it's running.
I was blessed to have a dad that showed me how to load a boat and back a trailer. Miss you dad 😢
jeese, I would hate to be in line behind that first guy. If I take more than 72 seconds to load or launch I feel bad.
He’d have more freeboard if he’d remove the anchor. 🤷♂️
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.
lol 😂 I was lucky enough to be taught and I learned people are waiting I’ve about seen fights over people taking to long 😂
That was rough.. but it is a hell of a good relationship test, if they are a couple. Patience is good when you are that green. Obviously landlubbers. Another glass is half full… they ain’t on a couch. 🛋️
Surprised if the blades on the prop are intact.
Turn the fuel on THEN crank the starter. Oops, forgot I pulled the dead man switch.
🤣
I couldn't imagine watching someone struggle and not offering to help but instead record them bcz making content was more important.
Where is the winch? It should be on the trailer already!!!! That little string he was using was a joke
Is he going to release that whale in the fresh water lake cause I'm pretty sure it won't survive 😂😂😂
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.
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.
Throws the entire line in! 😂😂😂
@@moreld1 oh yea, it was comical but they weren't laughing
@@RTILEBEINSR Oh, scary for the family, no doubt. Glad you were able to help them. I'm still chuckling though... "Throw me a line... WAIT... Tie it off first- Ah dang!
Well that was painful 😮
I think I met that guy at the ramp today. Sometimes I wonder how they make it to the lake and back home safe🤷🏼♂️
That plumper mama looks like she ain’t moving from the boat till’ the boats on the trailer back in the driveway.
😂 People that want a boat, but dont really know how to use them proper. They will learn better after a while.
Well, there's 12 mins of my life I won't get back...
People think boats operate like cars.
He may not be a smart man, but he knows what love is.
Crunch crunch crunch. 😂😂😂
all i got outta this is looks like you have to weigh 300 lbs. to launch a boat here !
Ed: So Bob, what sort of boat would you say that is? Bob: Jet. Deffinitely. Ed: Oh, I think you might be wrong on this one Bob, that Merc clearly was a prop jobbie. Bob: Nope, jet. Definitely jet. Id-jet to be precice. Ed: ....you know something Bob? Sometimes you're just a surly, mean old man. Bob: Maybe, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Omg this couple is in trouble from the bubble😅
The second vid was just somebody who hasent driven a boat much and couldnt get the straight shot onto the trailer, at least they didnt floor it into the back of the truck or try pulling it out sidewards…. Give em a break..
Just wonder what the fiberglass on the bottom looks like from bouncing on the concrete. Just Damn!
Right? 😳
You just recorded their last time boating.
Paint on the prop? no problem scuff it off, crack in the hull fill it in with toothpaste, mooring line too long chop it off, hard to dock pull the drain plug....put down my phone....lol ...no way I'm not a scuba or boating instructor...!!!! Note to novice boaters, boats don't handle like cars and if you own a boat be sure to know or be a mechanic!
Judging by the amount of boats flying by I would be fishing at night
who has a boat trailer with no side guides on it, pure ////////////
next time I want to take a nap I'll watch this video.
I aim to please! Happy napping! 🥱
Ahh glitter boats. The jets ski of the boat world. I would put money on every time he puts it in gear it’s a hole shot thinking he is on the Bassmaster Classic only 3oz down from 1st place. I think that comes in the owners manual of those aquatic menaces.
Don’t have patience for people that are “slow” learners. Practice on your own time and not at the expense of others.
bunk guides are amazing things...lol
We built that javelin bass boat in the beginning its a shame to see it on the ramp like that😮
The first and main thing is if you can’t back a trailer you have no business owning a boat. And just because your vehicle can pull your boat doesn’t mean you should be using it to pull a boat. You must be able to stop it as well.
I know us fisherman get up early, but he must have left his brain at home.
In the second one he needed to be told to approach off set from driver side not centered on trailer, the cross wind is pushing him away from his trailer side ways but no one seems to care to tell him this to save him and then time of waiting
You found an awesome ramp!
It's like Demolition Derby, but with one guy and a boat.
Been at a marina all my adult life. These guys are tame compared to some I’ve seen.
I find new ways to make it harder then it needs to be, watching them load.😀
😅
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.
Remember kids. Turn your motor OFF when loading and unloading.
I think, by leaving his wife Gertha in the boat mighta actually helped.🤗
First video I have seen of yours, thanks for posting. Why do you have #southcarolina in your description?, this isn't in SC!
Thanks for watching! This is in South Carolina. Lake Wylie is in North and South Carolina. We video from a ramp in South Carolina. 🙂
@@paigeattheboatramp I did not recognize it at first, I keep forgetting that Buster Boyd is in SC not NC. I haven't seen the bridge in any of your videos that I have watched so I didn't recognize it.
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~!
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
I do the same, but leave about 25% of the bunks out of the water.
What did he do backing up the trailer into the water??😂😂😂😂😂
Love Those Drive ON Trailers .
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.
I've had trouble when it was really windy or the flow of water was fast. We usually have three people in a boat so it's not too bad
Hmmm - let's take a 6 pack down to the ramp and watch the circus. Both these boaters were not beginners. And, they both had drive on trailers, so not sure what the real issue is here.
Is there a weight limit on that tiny boat?
big moma weighted the boat down.....lol
Winch broke? If your new it's real easy. Watch how the guy in front of you does it.
This would have drove me nuts. I would have gotten the water and taught everyone how to do that correctly.
Every damn person in front of me ever.
MAYBE THE ENGINE HAS A CHOKE OR THEY FORGOT TO PUMP THR PRIMER BALL?
