Boynton boat ramp in Florida has plenty of boat traffic coming in and out. Today while filming we catch a first time boater backing up a brand new boat. This video is very informative and is extremely funny. Its always good to go out with a friend who may have experience before going boating. My name is Alfred Montaner Host of the Chit Show in Miami.
Boat crashes and boat fails are all to common in the Miami boat ramps but I didnt expect Boynton to be this bad. The only thing that compares to this Chit Show is when googans go out of Haulover Inlet when its a wavy boats day.
0:00- Intro
Can’t believe this chit show lasted 28 minutes 🤩
Best one yet !
And no boat in the water . That's the best part
Bro getting your boat lined up does no good if your vehicle isn't in line with the trailer. As soon as you start backwards you're off line
Can you imagine the new Chit Show level reached if this guy tried this on a holiday or a weekend? Holy crap, Bro.
That boat is scared, after this it is going to need a lifetime of councelling.
Drove straight back to the dealer like, "you sold me a bent trailer!"
Thats what I was thinking when he was kicking the tires or whatever he was doing when on the phone. lol, calling the boat dealer, "Yo, man this trailer is junk"
🤣🤣🤣
The longer the trailer the easier it is to back up!
Maybe you could use it as a teaching moment instead of just ridicule ? Like, "Whichever direction the BOTTOM of the steering wheel goes, the trailer will go." "Slow is PRO." "Don't use the mirrors."
@@stevejette2329 Someone offered him help and he gaffed them off. At that point, there's nothing to do but point and laugh.
That car now has more miles in reverse than forward.
Yeah the tires are wore out from doing donuts!
You know what on second thought! That might have been a setup//clickbait. There was a pilot that does or used to frequent air shows in an older tail dragger. The announcer would announce that there is a drunk in an airplane or something to that nature. This guy would take off and the stuff he would do made you think he was drunk. He'd come with an inches of crashing pull it off all the time and of course as it turned out he was a very talented pilot! For all we know this guy in the Jeep in the boat could have been a professional truck driver. He came so close to making it so many times and then messed it up you wonder! A couple of times when he was at a tight 90° angle he stopped just short of causing damage. A couple of times he got really close to the docks but stopped just in time and corrected. Maybe old Alfred needed a little stimulus for his site.
Lmao
😂
Three years from now the boat will be for sale with one hour run time for winterizing the engine and flushing it out and the trailer will need new tires.
NEVER. IN. MY. LIFE... Have I EVER seen someone that CLUELESS about backing up a trailer!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂
Because its fake . Hes a salesman and they did a interview with him and that boat .
I would have told him that it’s not his fault. The dealer accidentally installed two sets of left tires.
He had to know what he was doing. Backing a trailer in a full circle is no first time maneuver, 😂 lol😂
😂😂
This needs to viewed at double speed with a Benny Hill soundtrack! 🤣😂🤣
lol thats all I could think of was Benny Hill ! boy I miss him
🤣
I'd take SHERRY ALFIE TRADING signal over other trading analysts, she's verified on google, the loses I was recording before her impact was becoming alarming, Alfie's signals remain top choice for me.
If this guy can't even back a boat into the water, he has no business being out on a boat in the water!!
Totally lol
This guy is an example as to why we should practice in a large parking lot before we even attempt to start backing up any trailer!
That just he did...
K-mart went broke just so we can have a place for trash dumping, over night drunk drivers, RC planes, cars, go carts, teen drivers and people who cannot back a trailer.
I applaud that driver. He committed to practicing and himself - in an empty parking lot and ramp. The only person he actually disturbed was Alfred Montaner lol🤣
I mean at least he didn't do it on a busy weekend. And look, we all have been there learning. I agree though at least do some practice runs in an open parking lot. Still...better than holding everyone up on a weekend.
He’s over steering , you only need to turn the steering wheel a quarter of the way and the slower you go the easier kt is to control the trailer
I was slow to learn, but not that slow lol. He definitely needed someone to help him. My hubby taught me. His directions were excellent and I backed our boat in on the second try. Now I’m an expert by myself. Someone with experience helps so much when learning. First, I practiced at home. That is key. One of the best 4th of Julys we had was sitting on the dock watching inexperienced boaters try to get their boat on trailer after the fireworks display. My hubby assisted probably 25 people who had no clue. It does take practice and some people learn faster than others. Great video!
Can you imagine big hat dude putting the boat back on the trailer? 😂 Guarantee he will float the trailer and then try to physically manhandle the boat onto the trailer.
Takes me back 35 years, the first time I had to back the boat in myself, 8-lane dock with a 2-hour line. I was terrified, but the ranger directing traffic saw the terror in my eyes gave me a couple of tips, calmed my nerves, and I dropped it right in. I was so proud of myself. God bless that kind ranger. I’m a widow now. Boating days long since passed. Thank you for the sweet memories, and a serious laugh.
That has to be your partner. No one is that stupid.
@@KZ-ly1mj right…. Lol! Not quite. I will agree though, that guy’s a special kind of dumb.
All of those years backing the manure spreader into the feed lot with a farmall M have come in handy when backing my boat on a ramp.
This is a guy who will loose his car in the water...lmaooooo
@@flamingtitan4696 Probably already has by now! 😂
Plot twist: dude is just wanting to be on the chit show and messing with Alfred😂
Doubtful
I don't think he knew about the Chit Show until he got home, the boats for sale.
No one could be that stupid
When he got out and kicked the tires and was acting like he was lining it up, yeah this was staged. Doubt by Alfred, but definitely staged.
Cmon man. Did you see that hat. No way it was staged. Lol
It's hilarious that states require people to have a motorcycle endorsement, yet every state don't require ANY endorsements for trailers, or RVs etc...The logic behind this literally makes no sense to me. I hold a CDL A commercial driver's license. It took me 3 week of study, practice, 3 different tests required by the DOT just to get my CDL A permit
It is possible this guy doesn't even have a driver's license 😅 .
It's possibe he'll never se your reply because the original comment was from a year ago! SMH! @@GreyGhost120
@-_.._._--_.-.-_-_-_-...-.- omg thank yourself so much for this. ✌️. 🐐
Dude I died with laughter when he did a 360 in reverse. He had to be trolling you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can only imagine he was on the phone with the boat dealer and blaming the trailer wont go straight. 🤣
LOL thats what I was thinking, ... Dude, there is something wrong with these tires, they don't run straight.
I was thinking the same thing. I can imagine being a salesman and get the phone call of a customer saying that you sold me a defective trader.
I have to believe the camera guy paid this guy to do that, because nobody can be that bad.
Lmao..I was thinking that
100pc
Yes they can. Hang at any public dock and enjoy the show.
They are practicing just like at the airport its a training time at the launch
I have seen this before. Anybody who puts their boat in the water with any regularity will see somebody like this every once in a while.
This is why practice in a parking lot is necessary. I took my wife to an abandoned mall parking lot to practice towing and backing up a trailer. Her confidence went up big time and she understood the process by spending time behind the wheel.
He could spend years practicing, if he can't figure out by himself how a trailer work and if he refuses help, then he will never manage to back up a trailer.
Omg I stumbled across your channel and I’m hooked 😂 you’re so funny. This is solid gold content right there. I’m surprised this entire time he hasn’t hit that pickup truck ❤
Legend says he's still at the ramp to this day
😂😂😂😂
Only he left 🤔
someone tell me where this is please, I want to go buy his boat in a couple of years, it will never have been in the water!!!!
Lmao
I say he drove directly to the boat dealer to trade down to a smaller model.
When I bought my first boat eons ago, I went to a factory parking lot on a weekend and backed that rig up over and over until I knew I wouldn't embarrass myself at the ramp
I just practiced on gta by stealing pickups With trailers. Translated to real life perfectly, except the stealing part lol. Was even able to practice really hard stuff, like backing down a long windy drive way
@Bob Richardson- 👍I did something similar eons ago too. Daddy made me practice and practice until I got it right. I used to love when I would pull up in truck to put my boat in the water alone all by my little 5’1” petite girlie girl self and shock every body watching. All they could say was “dang she did that”. 😂 I have a 39ft Carver and it stays in the water at the marina so I haven’t had to worry about ramp launching for a long time. That guy did the right thing by giving up and trying again on another day…hopefully with some help.🙏😂
Hell yea I did same thing.
I learned a similar way but I mastered it while working at a marina with a fleet of small skiffs we used as passenger ferries. I had to load and unload the ferries every day by myself mostly. I could back the trailer down the ramp, avoiding people standing in the way, their gear in the way on the ramp etc... I would back it down, hop out the truck and onto the boat, have the boat in its designated slip and back in the truck within a couple minutes and repeat until all the skiffs were in the water and ready to shuttle people across the sound to the lighthouse. People were amazed sometimes and just stood there and watched me. That was a fun job... especially running a flat bottom skiff across a choppy sound with a boat load of big chested women.👀🤤
@@FinznFowl82 - 👍That’s pretty fantastic. Good times, fun memories. I could have watched you do that all day. It never bores me. 🤩👍💝
I can’t believe it took me so long to find you! Let the Chit show commence! Time to binge! 😂💩
Bro I LOST IT at 13:25!!! It looked like he was blaming the trailer for not aligning!! HAHAHA
I can't stop laughing! He kicked his tires like it was the cars fault! 😂🤣😂🤣
...while also on the phone complaining angrily to his wife how he believes that he was sold a bad trailer with the boat because it isnt working the right way like its suppose to when used in reverse...lol!
Lmao that's what I said. I was like it's not the tires fault buddy lol it's user error
Think he was in the phone complaining about the tricky axles
I get the vibe that he's on drugs.
I was crying laughing at that part
BEST chit show EVER! Scenario: “I’’m here to return this dang trailer! It’s defective. Something is bad wrong with it. It refused to launch and I demand my money back!!”
LOL
I almost believe that was a setup by Chit Show. Comedy gold. Love it bro. You have a goldmine.
This video never gets old.
At least the guy was smart enough to come and practice when the ramp wasn't too busy.
Shoulda gone to a big empty parking lot
As a female who has a boat I don't know how to back up I always ask for someone to do it for me
No he wasn't! He had every intention of launching that boat. I wish he had! I don't think he'd ever gotten it out of the water though. He has more patience than anybody I ever saw. When he was finally done though he headed for the highway. He didn't put his back straps back on. Hope the boat stays on the trailer! The guys got to be smart or something. Between the Jeep and the boat is probably looking at 150 200 grand. Sure can't back up though. I'd have had that thing back there in about 2 minutes and givein him 5 cents change. He's probably a dentist! Has to take his time doing stuff! He needs to find somebody to teach him how to back up. He was so close at times. Yet so far away! Towards the end he seemed to be getting it with less corrections. But nope went back to his old way. Got to say though he had the circles down he did those pretty good. He was also able to do a pretty nice 90°. Those can get scary and expensive! Oops big crease in the back of the jeep. If he can't handle the Jeep and the trailer how he could be expected to handle the boat on the water. On a side note, the only way I can watch this long video was to mute the volume. Too much chatter! Gives me a headache! Otherwise the video was pretty decent
@@nerysjohnson4819 we all have to know our limitations! I'll bet you with some instruction you'd have it down. Not as hard as you think! Line it up in the beginning. Survey the area you're going to be backing into. I always found it easier to use one mirror and make small corrections. Some people say put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel and turn it in the direction that you want the trailer to go. I never had to use that trick cuz I had a lot of experience moving around equipment. But it might work for those that don't.
@@lightningstrikestwice6302 thanks for the advice. Hopefully the dock will be empty and I can try it. It can be so stressful seeing everyone launch so quickly.
This is the ramp in Boynton Beach Florida, I use it multiple times a week. I’m here to tell anyone that doesn’t know this already to PUT YOUR HAND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STEERING WHEEL at the 6oclock position when backing up a trailer. Literally just swing your hand to whatever way you want the trailer to go. I used to sell boats and have taught many people using this method. Don’t overcorrect, let the trailer move before adjusting the wheel. If you have the truck/trailer straight and lined up to the water, you should never really need to swing the wheel past the 3oclock or 9oclock position while backing up, so try to position the truck/trailer as straight as you can so it’s mostly just a straight shot backwards to the water. Not always possible but still keep your hand planted at that 6oclock position. Good luck and happy boating!
Steer the trailer, not the car
Great advice, I used to work at a pool supply store that sold hot tubs and we had a "70 Ford F250 and a 32' flatbed trailer that used to be a camper trailer to pick the hot tubs up at the manufacturer, the manager used to drive the first couple times then had me take over, I practiced a few times in the parking lot then backed into the truck dock slot between Kenworths and Peterbilts, It was white knuckling at first but went perfect, The key to it is not to over steer and follow the arch of the trailer turn
Thank you , for the help , not everyone’s a pro . And I’d add why laugh at newcomers , we all are new at something
Tia
@@jd2plus2 ‘Cause he was too friggin proud to accept help. Made himself a laughingstock.
Best show I've seen yet!! 😂 Help is a thank you away. Good thing he is there alone, can't wait to see him retrieve it later lol
You’re reactions got me dying 😂
Backing up correctly is a blend of experience and confidence. This guy has confidence but not experience. I've been there with a trailer when I first got my camper. Best thing this guy (and anyone new to backing up a trailer) is find an empty school parking lot on a weekend, set up some cones or whatever and practice/practice/practice until you get the experience. Also know your limits and when to ask/accept help!
A bit of brain would also help. If the boat is turning the wrong way, he need to realise he can't continue angling his car in the same direction unless he want the boat at 90 degrees. It takes training to do this smoothly. But even without training, a brain would help informing when he need to angle the car in the other direction. Especially since he had a huge space there and didn't need to do it perfectly.
Guarantee he got stuck at low tide on a sandbar 😆
Been there done that
Honestly, all he had to do was line up straight , put his vehicle (which 100% is not rated to tow that package by the way) in neutral, take his hands off the wheel and let gravity do the rest. The boat will pull you down straight.
The classic “lightly touch things and inspect stuff so people think I know what I’m doing at least a little bit” is cracking me up 🤣
And he was talking to no one on that cell phone
Exactly Total buffoonery Pride can sometimes be hilarious
😂 And he checks the prop but not the nut😅😅😅😅
I’m Cajun from south central Louisiana. I live on the bayou & there is 3 boat ramps within a mile & 5 more within 4 miles of my home. I have 2 boats & a jet ski so I’m at the ramps often & I’ll tell you commercial fisherman are the fastest in & out and most courteous. Most bass fisherman are quick & courteous at the ramps. We have a lot of Couyons (Cajun French slang for Dumba$$) with race boats/speed boats that love to block the ramps & even the gas pumps at the stations near the landings. Just yesterday, I pulled up to the gas pump, race boat guy was already at a pump. I filled my truck, pulled out the way & went into the store. The station owner is an old HS friend, I talked with him for a good 20 minutes, when I walked out, the race boat guy is still at the pump & he’s walking around trying to strike up conversations about his boat. Seeking admirations about his boat while blocking everyone out. They usually don’t prep before, they pull up to the ramp, then unstrap, put in plug, all while taking their time & praying that someone walks up & admires their boat so he can brag about his boat! I rather deal with a newby then the Couyons!!
This is the very definition of a Chit Show. God bless him if he does get it in the water. He'll never get it out!
You know you’ve made it in life when you get an entire episode of the chit show dedicated to you! 😂
Indeed a true privilege to share with friends and family recorded for posterity.
A day that will live in infamy 😂
@@rickjames8317 Well said

@@rickjames8317 I thought you passed on bro! Big fan!
I was laughing so hard, that guy had to have been trolling you!!! Thank you for the laughs
It was clearly intentional
@@jolkraeremeark6949 yes, sad of Alfred to “stage” this one. Plenty of Real content out there.
I think he was trolling Alfred too! I was sold until the guy got out and started kicking the tires and over accenting the phone call!! LOL
@@brianhoops6620 Yeah, the dude "somehow" backed a perfect circle. Pretty obvious!
it was staged for the camera guy, no way anyone that appears that incompetent at the boat ramp could have driven miles through city traffic without incident, this was a clown act for the camera
I can't believe I sat here and watched this whole video but it was so worth it 😂😂😂😂
I recon this guy just wanted to practice reversing on the ramp, and all the fenders were to protect his pride and joy just in case he really fk’d up 🤣 I’ve always had trailers and boats since I got my driving license at 17, some 53 years ago, and I can remember practicing reversing my trailer on some wasteland close to home. I set up some cones and practiced aiming at them until I could park the trailer straight between them. Took me ages, but once learned you never forget, and now I can put a trailer wherever I want to with confidence. Hell get it, sooner or later. The boat ramp is a gift that keeps on giving - entertainment wise, these videos are hilarious - Thank you for the laughs ❤️🇷🇴
I'm gonna go with the dude totally knew you where there and played an epic chit show prank on you Alfred 🤣 the acting with the phone gave it away
Alfred was in on it
Yeah that definitely seemed like acting
The fact that he stopped right before hitting the dock a couple times is a good clue, but yeah getting out and kicking the trailer tires was a lot of Hollywood
@@phonglo97 100%
This guy must be the offspring of his Aunt and Uncle…or this was staged?
I once watched a Family Guy episode when Peter tried to launch a boat on the ramp. I honestly thought the cartoon was over exaggerating launching a boat. This guy is definitely a real life “Peter”
That's what I think about when ever I launch my boat
My grandpa told me “back the trailer not the truck” but I think the best advice is keep one hand on the bottom center of the wheel. Move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go.
This is amazing. You made my day. My face hurts from laughing.
"Either you have no friends, or (in the background) you're an asshole, and then you have no friends. " Greatest quote!
I kept saying, “STOP. TURNING. THE. WHEEL!” That was hilarious!
My boyfriend was doing the same thing
🤣This dude is a LEGEND🤣 The best troll move EVER
It’s commendable that he won’t give up💡
I agree. Lol
As a truck driver who backs into 7-10 different loading docks a day, some very small and tough angles, watching this guy try to back into a dock makes me feel like a genius!
After watching this guy back u I can't tell which way is right or left!😂
I've seen some truckers that'll make even good drivers look like bad newbs. The best was when I was driving delivery in college : I watched a truck pull into a back lot that I would have considered crowded with the cars already there and figured it was a staff lot ... somehow that trucker did what in the 4 wheel world would have been a 3 point turn in space that most would have had trouble doing on 4 wheels and possibly in less time. Didn't lose a beat. Too bad that was before cell phones =(
It's freaking painful isn't it.....
You are. It takes time to make what you do "easy" I'm laughing and praying at this one. The only reason he's alive is because it obviously isn't Saturday.
The longer the wheelbase the easier it is too.
I’ve spent a lot of time around boats and boat ramps. I have NEVER, EVER seen that level of FAIL when it comes to maneuvering a trailer! 🤣🤣🤣
this is just wow man, just wooow.
That’s because it’s staged. Tell me how he did a perfect full circle in reverse which is 100 times harder to do than simply backing it down ramp? And dude checking the prop and kicking the tires while over dramatizing a clearly fake phone call. This is so obviously set up
@@mikep8861 indeed
Best part is it's not even a small trailer
Well, how many staged videos have you seen ?
You know he’s on that phone complaining about the trailer to someone. “This thing is all over the place. There’s something wrong with it. It must need and alignment or something “. Lol😂😂😂😂
That was just EMBARRASSING 🙈 THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO TODAY. BLESSINGS, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️
I wonder how much more dangerous he is when he gets in the water😐
That's the all time record of launch attempts I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Unbelievable.
The best on this video is the funny bandolero hat he was wearing…🤣🤣😂😂
For a new boater, it's probably best to put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel and move it in the direction you want the trailer to go.
Honestly, he could probably just get it somewhat straight on the ramp and put it in neutral and let the boat pull him straight down. It will naturally straighten, especially a boat this heavy.
Thats what i do when i had to pull a trailer for work
Thank you for capturing this moment! My son and I are crying, the 20 minutes of laughing hurts at this point.
Wife - How was the boating this morning? Husband- It rides great on the trailer!
The 1st time i backed up a trailor i looked like this for a few minutes, then i just made sure i was straight and went straight back!😂
I was thinking that you were pranking us man!!! I have anxiety now!! Lol
If this guy has this much trouble backing a trailer can you imagine the Chit show with him operating the boat in the water! Talk about Captain Chaos!!! 😂😂
Ya think, he'll have Children?
tell that guy to go to Haulover when tides are changing!
Steve King his boat & trailer will be haulover the place?
Problem is people like this are dangerous!
If he woulda got that boat in the water imagine the trouble he woulda been in trying to get it out!!!
First time boater AND Trailer…er… 😂 I love the walk around trying to find a reason that the trailer is the problem, checking the tire pressure 🤣
I've diffused more than one potential boat ramp divorce by offering some friendly trailer backing advice, or being real nice and offering to back it in for them 😂 Edit: thought i was gonna die laughing when he got out and started kicking tires like it was the trailer's fault 😂
12:55 "yep definitely these stup!d tires that are messing me up"😂
Ok when the guy started kicking the trailer tires, it confirmed this was a set up video. Well done 👏
Bro literally had it a few times and thought "nope. I'll turn the wheel some more. No way it's that easy"🤣🤣🤣 He wants to learn by himself lmao. Dude is insane, making the same mistake over and over and over
At 6:30 he stops,..looks in the mirror, says "I see the ramp, but where's my boat?? 😂😂
You paid this dude to star in the chit show didn't you,all this time he would've been in the water by accident...lol
Alfred did you pay this guy to deliver this epic footage?!?🤣
Yup because he did a full circle backing up.
I was thinking the samething...this is to comical to be real. If this isnt a setup then that was really scary to watch...holy shit
The FULL circle backup🤣🤣🤣..reading these comments.. I can vividly re-see the video play by play🤣
He had too.
Looks staged to me.
I can imagine him talking to his buddies later on about this day. "Yeah bro I backed my boat in one shot, everyone was amazed. You just gotta know what you're doing."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep I stabbed that bad boy in first time. No problem my man. 🤣
Legend has it that this man is still doing circles in the parking lot!!!
Man’s got a left handed trailer that’s why it steers the wrong way ❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those of us who grew up on the river/lake/ocean forget how this can be difficult for new boat owners. Ive helped many who looked like they were about to blow a gasket trying to back one. Best advice is slow down and think about which way you need to turn then move a little.
Not really, I didn't do the best job my 1st time, but nothing like this. They key, was watching a lot of video on how to.
Never turn the wheel all the way to lock when backing up a trailer. This guy must have done it 50 times.
There's no excuse for this. Whoever gave that man a drivers license should be arrested.
@@newsnowbc1934 Yup some people are in-capable of doing what should be an easy task. My first time backing up a boat took me maybe 2 minutes max to get it aligned with the dock and down the ramp. The guy in a vid is over confident, Backing up a boat isn't hard its just small movements and predicting where it will go and correcting prior to it moving.
I saw someone say to put your hand at 6 o'clock on the steering wheel and then look back and turn your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go. Makes sense.
This is one of the best Chit shows ever, so entertaining to watch! But I also love that this new guy picked a quiet day at the ramp to go and try to figure it out.
He picked a slow day because it was a staged video, which couldn't be done on a weekend.
Problem is that he went to the RAMP instead of an open space somewhere.
@@stevejette2329 Can't stage the video anywhere else but a boat ramp...that's why !
@@meauxjeaux431 doubt it was staged
It is spelled *shit
Tractor trailer driver here & how I teach the new guys to back up is to place your hand on the bottom of the wheel & move the wheel in the direction that you want the trailer to go . Good luck 👍
Man I feel for this guy! That’s 20 mins of his life he’ll never get back. This guy did a FULL circle. 🤣💀
OMG! When I was new I wasn’t anywhere that bad. Loved the hand gestures while on the phone and checking the tires like they were causing it to go side to side..Tip for newbies, steer from the bottom of the steering wheel when back. Go right by turn the bottom to the right. Go left by turning the bottom of the wheel to the left. Small movements unless you want a tight turn.
I am a newbie I have the direction down but tend to oversteer
@@gregsadventures3872 oversteer is easy to do, but also easily corrected 👍👍
Never done it before it and I can do it it’s not that hard
You hear yourself right? ITS STAGED
@@gregsadventures3872 dang didram
I died when he did the full 360 degree reverse circle. 😂🤣😂 Forget the damn boat, this guy needs to go to an empty parking lot and learn how to drive his trailer before anything else .... and THEN take on the boat ramp WITH A FRIEND. Holy hell. God help him and anyone near him if he pulls into a gas station to fuel up with that rig. 🙄🙏
Legend has it this man is still trying to put his boat in the water
When i bought a boat, i did something similar. Went to a ramp that was fairly empty and just practiced for a solid hour. I had no intention of going on the water just wanted to get comfortable with it. And that practice helped a ton!
My first lesson was "Do the opposite of your instinct" and that simple lesson alone has made towing in reverse manageable for me.
I was always told “steer towards the problem” and that made something click for me.
😆 I remember my first time at the boat ramp. I think it took me about 7 min. to get it in the water and I was so embarrassed. This dude is just ridiculous. 😅🤣😂
Videos like this make me seem like a badass... been backing up trailers since 16, never realized people were that bad at driving with trailers
I've always said it's a fascinating subculture full of tension and high emotion at the boat ramp. Tense vibe even when you the only boat!
Jim , you are soooo right !!!
I took my 11 year old daughter to the alpha beta parking lot at 6 a.m. to practice backing our boat up. After 2 times she said she felt ready, l got on board and she did it perfect. One time at extreme low tide, she picked up 12 different boats. It was a day we all had to help each other. I've always been proud of her. Mike
That’s awesome!
Supergirl!
A few pointers would have helped him out a lot
You know, if dude just accepted some help those guys they could've taught him about turning the wheel the opposite way and just use SMALL turns of correction. Dude would've learned it in a couple trys.
@@jarvey1962 He refused any help from another Captain halfway through the video. :(
Best half hour's entertainment for ages.!!!! 😎🤭
This was worth every second
Rumor has it he’s still backing up to this day. When I thought my teenage daughter to backup our boat trailer we went to an open parking lot and practiced a lot slowly until she got it. I know it’s super stressful but this guy looked like he really didn’t have any idea or practice at all. But to anyone who’s not done it - it IS a lot harder than it looks.
It is a lot harder than it looks and people just need to be more patient with new boaters, been there, done that. At most ramps I have seen plenty of people willing to help.
Never done it before and I can do it it’s not that hard
@@cooperrobt12 you don't wait to get to the boat ramp to learn how to do it
@@shawnbradley3874 duh
Someone offered to help him, and he refused the help.
There's no way that's for real. That has to be a paid actor. Not enough action at this ramp so Alfred had to supplement with this guy! Just kidding, but that was PAINFUL to watch. This guy gives a whole new meaning to the word "overcorrect."
Narcissism is a powerful thing. 😁
I was thinking the exact same thing. Had to check the comments before I echoed your comment basically word for word.
Yeah I thought the same thing especially when he came out on the phone kicking the tires lol and I swear at one point he looked right at the camera and smiled
Yup!
Same thoughts
He really called someone to tell him the damn trailer had a steering system of its own. hahaha
That was absolutely incredible.
That’s a beautiful boat, crazy to think someone with zero experience on the water buys a nice fishing boat. He probably holds a spinning rod upside down. 🤣
Man I fucking HATE seeing that. Saw this older woman doing that years ago. Wlcoildnt believe what I was seeing.
Money doesn’t buy skills 🤷🏻♂️
And beautiful car! J'aime le white GRAND CHEROKEE !
Chit Show "Wait for it Award of the the Year" goes to this poor soul! LMAO
He was taking so long in the beginning because he was hoping that the ramp would clear out so nobody would see how bad he was! 😂😂
The fact he made a full circle infront of the ramp I’ll give him brownie points for that 😂
Man, I'm seriously questioning this guy's ability to drive in the first place. He's not even driving forward in a manner that would suggest he's planning ahead. I don't own a boat, never driven with a trailer, but I've seen enough to know that you don't take the damn thing straight to the lake. You pull it into an empty parking lot of sufficient size, set up cones or something, and practice until you have an understanding of what the hell you're doing. I'm losing my mind watching this guy.
We've been a family of folks boating and have seen everything. Forgot the plug, like this can't back the trailer, all sorts of fails at the boat ramp always.
INDEED- NO CLUE
I think he's on the whacky baccy.
I had my husband ride my Harley to an empty lot and I practiced. It didn’t take me long that way to feel confident to get out on the road and do more practice. I have also driven boats and backed the trailers down the ramp-it’s more difficult without the boat on. I’ve been in the boat waiting for our turn at the ramp and driven the boat onto the trailer. Now I’m driving a F350 crew cab pulling a 25’ horse trailer. I did it for awhile with a camper and extended hitch and have had to back them up around corners to get into camping places sometimes. It’s fun and challenging. My truck driver daughter n law said I “drive my mirrors” more than most do. Lol.
My rule of thumb when I boated was when your cockeyed at the ramp , to pull ahead twice as far as you think you need to straighten out. It always worked like a charm. Another trick is to hold the steering wheel at the bottom while backing and turn the wheel to the direction you need the trailer to turn.
Absolutely amazing 😂
His tow vehicle said it all as soon as he showed up😂
I stumbled upon this channel and I watched this in awe. Being Dutch I have no idea about how driving licenses are given to people in the US of A, but here in the Netherlands you have to have a license for your car but also a license to tow a trailer of that size. You have to take lessons at a driving school to be able to do this.
It’s the same here in the USA, but it depends on the size and weight of the trailer.
It appears, if you have a pulse you can get a drivers license, that's all you need a pulse.
As a Dutch person I can confirm this
Yeah because the government is so great at making sure we all know what we're doing.😂
Most trailers you can tow with a "regular" drivers license, if you get above 11.8 Metric Tons of combined weight you'll need a different license.
That reverse 360 was friggin epic. I thought he was gonna glide it into position and punk you but nope he gave up. And no way he was practicing w a brand new boat bc you practice w an empty trailer so you can see/understand steering. That was entertaining
Didn't even take the straps off 😂
Rumor is he is at the next boat ramp down the road still trying to launch his boat to this day. Lol
