People learn at the docks all the time but this is not the video to learn from. Not as crazy as most Chit Show videos but definitely many teachable moments in this one. Comment below how this boat ramp situation could have been done better.
My name is Alfred Montaner host of the Chit Show at BlackPoint marina.
I’m coast guard active and that boat was coast guard Auxiliary. They are volunteers and use their own boats to help with patrols. They work for free and we help with fuel. Usually they are retirees.
Not all of us are retired
Both my Grandfather and Grandmother, were BOTH Captains in USCG!! I love everything they stand for. I would like to thank each and every member of the United States Coast for their service. Most people don't have a clue what the USCG does. When they are protecting us, they will kill, When they are watching out for our well being, they save our lives. Can't say enough. All the drugs they seize. Way to go!!
Non-Coast Guard boats are sometimes used. I am a former Coastie and a Family that we helped twice, gave my Base a 14' Boston Whaler with a 40-HP Johnson and we used it to help and educate fellow boaters.
@@rangerbill9536Coast Guards do the same work all around the world providing boat, sea, lake and river rescues. The don't do drug dealing apprehesions, thats a police domain. The Coast Guard organisation arn't the law nor policemen. They provide a rescue service which has mostly a volunteer membership.
My Pop and I would sit at the boat ramp all the time just to get a great laugh and spend some time together!! Damn I miss you Pop Pop !!! Great memories!!!
"I kinda want to help but I can't...I'm workin" 🤣🤣🤣
This is the best when it comes to marine activity. I am a boat owner banned for 20 years. But when your boat outweighs the vehicle you're launching it with, you may have problems. Great videos thank you.
That was perseverance and glorious victory to a guy like me. For goodness sake I've backed into my garage door because I didn't give it enough time to open. My life is a chit show.
The dude's fishing license will expire before he gets the boat launched!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Alfred. That is the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. Usually, a group of retired USCG or Navy guys that do boating inspections for recreational boats on the weekend. Up here in Boca they set up at our boat ramp. Of course with COVID they haven't been around much. They are given a gas allowance and they help out boaters. It's a small outreach program across the nation to recreational boaters. They also put on boating safety classes for new and more experienced boaters. Good group with a lot of knowledge. They have no Law Enforcement authority. That group is likely connected to Station Miami Beach.
hats off to the play by play commentator, one of the funniest comedy videos, keep up these funny videos.....
I went to a metal junk yard, bought a 8' long pipe, and bought a 2nd coupler. Had a welder weld it all together so that I ended up with about an 9' extension to my original trailer. I could still drive all around my town, but when it came to launching I just back up, get most of trailer in the water and see the boat float, then tap my brakes. the boast gently glides off LONG before my tires get near the salt water. I look like Cool Joe. (of course I have a long line tied to my bow and the back of my pickup so the boat doesn't get away. Slick as all heck.
Clever
That is Coast Guard Auxiliary, they are all volunteers that use their own personal boats. They go around & educate boaters on boating safety and requirements
I was just about to say the same. The Auxiliary Coasties all use their own vessels.
Yes, but what about the guy on the front drinking a cold one? If they can do that I need to get involved. 🍺
@@skibum415 he wasn't driving so all good;)
@@jugaloking69dope58 oh I could see he wasn't drinking. My point was that's my type of Coast Guard Auxiliary! Go out, help some folks, hang out with some likely decent people, AND you get to drink! I'll bet it's tax deductible too.🛥 🇺🇸🍻😁🚤
@@skibum415 Since they are volunteers, the real Coast Guard looks the other way sometimes. I used to be an old Coast Guardsman myself.
Well at least we have the boat master telling us everything during the video.
Is that what he is? I thought he was just a jackass that wonders why the world is full of idiots as he sits on his hands and don't give the guy a little advice
@@Dozer-nb8co yup that's what he is. Probably doesn't even have a boat but is quick to tell someone how to boat. LMAO
...he delights in other people's hardships...sad...
This guy doesn't stop talking no matter what he's doing
LOL... You talk like worried about them .... "BUT then wait for the GREAT SHOT! "I kinda want to help??? You ain't right man!... I love it!
We need to learn more about this! Fred was just shaking his head and swam away!
Start the motor put into reverse
I was just going say the same thing and then I saw your comment. That’s the way I offload my inboard. Lower the prop just enough to submerge it and let the motor do the work. When I load the boat, I run it up the trailer right up to the bow stop, snitch it up and safety chain it. I may not have all the details on this episode tho.
Dude trying to push the Motor down I'm betting that the lock is in the lock position!!! LOL people are BRILLIANT!!!
I love the "blup blup, blup, blup" sound"
You must've really enjoyed this one cause he did it twice a minute for 23 minutes
Mr. 5:00 guy, your supposed to go back fast and brake so it creates momentum and the boat slides from the bunks. You need to unhook the front winch and have a rope tied to the boat and a loop on the winch area with 5-10 ft. of slack.
Tie off the stern to that dock. Drive away.
OMG! Thank goodness they were successful! I was holding my breath!!!
We want to see Alfred's boat!
You can't, he lost it on a launch fail. That's why he sits around all day and cheers for other's to fail.
It's a rib ☺️
Your play by play was priceless. I was dying ... thnx
Tie the back of the boat to the end of the dock .& drive forward slowly. 🤔😃😎
Yea the dock owner won't say a word. You could just throw your anchor out and gun it
Ramp Rookies! Someone might mention that it's good practice to disconnect the brake lights on the trailer prior to immersing them.
No one injured. Nothing cought fire. No thing damage. No deaths. Looks good to me. 🤣
Looks nice out there. Careful of the coming storm!!
You nailed it...the bow was still stuck to the trailer. Just hit the brakes at the last point.
This dudes man card has been REVOKED!
Dude I just subscribed and you’re funny as all hell ! You’re right on too !
The sea pro was an auxiliary division of the coast guard. Love your videos btw. You crack me up 🤣
The next chit show will be these guy’s getting the boat back on the trailer! Or not?
It really is an educational channel you provide for everyone
Never a dull moment at the chit show
Glad that nice fella came over & showed them guys how to unstick the boat!
its hurting my brain watching those guys
Imagine the issues they'll have once they actually get it in the water!
When everything starts going wrong that early in the day, you need to just pull the boat back out and go home. The last thing they want to to is go out to open water. Lol
Go home and sell the boat.
True!
The way some ppl. Dock off is funny !!!!🤭😂🤣
there was a safety latch on the motors you kick them up high enough they lock up lol, then you have to kick them back way up to unlock them lol, buncha n00bs :D
Hey Alfredo, a couple of observations...you're right about proper trailer adjustment, before they get to the ramp..lol. I did notice a tri-axle trailer and I don't think that boat warrants it. If the trailer is too long and the boat's bow is stuck up against a very forward winch stanchion (as it appears to be in this case) good luck getting it off. Also, can you make a suggestion to the ramp authorities to cut grooves into the concrete of those ramps? How slippery are they? I saw a 3500 Diesel pickup having issues pulling a 24 footer out, at low tide! I'm afraid of pulling my 29ner out with my 1500 gasser, as I do at other local ramps. When I'm not boating or working on the boat, my wife and I visit various boat ramps, just for the "Chit Show!!!", we have a great time. 🚤
Groved ramps blows my mind that they are not ct all have groves unless it's a very flat shallow launch
Jus let a good bit of air out ur rear tires 😂🤘🏻helps in mud and snow. Ppl are a fuggin riot..cheers from Charlotte NC
The ramps at Black Point are public ramps and when the ramps and docks were made, it went to the lowest bidder who in turn used Poured Concrete for the ramps and the docks themselves. Really bad from a boating stand point. No cleats are used on the Docks, but sawed-off telephone poles to secure the lines. :(
You should soak down the Runners on the trailer with a hose before he gets on the road to allow them to become slippery. Then loosen up the winch cable about a foot then reverse down the ramp and touch the brakes. Then put the trailer in the water and it should come off a lot easier after disconnecting the winch cable of course
Great advice!
the eye loop on the front of the boat is hooked on the roller.
Who in the heck winches their boat up, just drive it up right to the bumper stop reach down hook your cable into the eye about three turns cinches it down. Jump down get in the truck and pulled the boat out, I was doing this shit at 14 years old, Trained my wife to back the trailer in straight I would drive it up latch it down and she would drive The boat out of the water. A lot of people like watching boat ramp bumper boats, you can spot the ones that are getting nervous approaching the docks. Maneuvering a boat is just a skill just like driving a car you get better with practice, to these people with more boat than brains seek out someone to train you.
@@micknielsen7102 I personally like winching boats on. Other guys like to power on but thats not my cup of tea. But it doesn't take much extra time. I prefer to dock against the current (current or wind pushing you away from the dock) Then when you goto put the boat on the trailer you just toss the stern line over a dock post, grab the bow line and walk up to the trailer and pull the boat on using the stern line to get the back of the boat lined up horizontally when coming forward. Once you hit the bunks you just hook the winch and 30 seconds later you are ready to drive off to the wash station. I learned on pontoon crank up trailers before they had load guides where if you drove on you either scraped the pontoons if you had the trailer partly up or the boat would float off the trailer before you were able to crank it up.
Heck that would ruin a good video!
Love watchin from New Zealand
This boat is a mafias dream. Man all those fish wells. . 🤣
I’m sitting in the living room watching on tv. My wife is doing something in the back and she hears me laughing and ask what are you watching. It’s your commentary. Lol
]p
The commentary is priceless. Great work.
Alfred Montaner the man at the ramp with little faith 😂 i come for the oh boi and stay for the oh boi
lol i leaned the hard way with those ramps , tried getting some water for my bait bucket and slid right into the water and couldn't get up lol
I cant imagine that crew getting that boat back on the trailer. Especially if its low tide when they get back. I wonder if they even know what tides are. Haha
It looked like a simple hand crank on the trailer.. and there about to operate a boat 😬😬😳😳🤣🤣
Doug loveyour channel this is like Elsinore California people can't drive boats when they get them it's hilarious.
Rusted clamp lol Fred shows up I’m rolling
I think your idea of just backing quicker and hitting the brakes would had popped it off the trailer much easier, if not pull it out and try another day.
That was the Coast Guard Auxiliary. They assist the regular Coast Guard in their own personal water crafts.
Actually they were people impersonating the coast guard looking for free drugs. I do it all the time
By the way The chit show is really cool enjoy it a lot wish I was down there it’s freezing up here.! LOL
Those Coasties were probably auxiliaries. A lot of times they will use their own boats to do patrol and SAR work under the direction of the local Coast Guard station crew. My dad did this out of Cedar Key and Yankee town Florida with his 21' center console.
I've had that happen before. I just back up and slam on the brakes.
Exactly! WTF!? That's how I have my wife pop me off everytime. Little jab of the brakes and my boat starts to slide and fire up the engines and off I go. Tires of the truck don't even go near the water.
it was dude at the end that saved the day! They should buy him a beer!
@@carolinewells4355 Yes, any Brand !
about 20 years ago I ended up at the dock before my passengers, was low tide and it didnt want to float off, so I tied the boat to the dock and backed up and tapped the brakes , the boat kept going , ripped a 10 inch steel Deck cleat off the dock and then I had the longest swim of my life and the life jackets were all in the Boat, , Now I think a better idea for this problem is to carry a larger drop receiver and swap it in the parking lot to lower the front of the boat.......
That's a good idea about the receiver. Could also get a custom receiver that was longer, again, as you suggest, for temporary use at the ramp.
The Coast Guard has an auxiliary division that rides in a civilian boat. At least that's what they do here out of Manasquan inlet NJ. They perform safety checks on the water and they used to stop by marinas and yatch clubs and do checks there as well.
Alfred, you got it right, two people, one in the vehicle one in the boat, no problems
It's like watching the three stooges with that boat
When the hooking eye goes forward past the top bow roller and the back of the boat lifts when floated you have to lift the eye over the roller with all the weight on the bow. When he pulled forward it relieved some of that pressure.
K Ok
Don’t give everything away… 🙄
Not the Bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop😂
I don't even own a boat but look forward to watching these videos. Thanks.
Is there some kind of rule at this marina , from using reverse engines to power off the trailor. The boat launch I use , does not have this kind of traffic. I am usually by myself with one friend who stays in the boat. Before launch, I've learned to start the motors when depths allows to warm them up before cast off. If push back by hand, does not work, bump the reverse engines and power off the trailor. Always works well for me.
Some ramps don't allow that way......
Coast Guard Auxillary. Seriously, how did you not know that?
Love it.
Welcome back bro Hi from Nashville
Sell the boat and take up bird watching
There’s no way I’d get on a boat with these guys
Heard that. Sit around at the dock all day filming and laughing at people that could use your help. Instead hoping they lose their car. What a miserable existence
That BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP is fn hilarious
The spare tire was gripping the boat. Lmao
This is why I am cautious when looking at buying used boat the previous owner could be a tool
@@voterfraudisreals8612 I said nothing about them backing it up. I made a valid comment for purchasing used boat.
OMG put the damn thing in reverse!! That was painful
@ Shawn Wood Gilligan could of done better.
No you wouldn’t because the anchor was caught on the trailer so it needed to be lifted you can’t rip it off the trailer!! This happens often on larger boats with pulpits or winless anchors on the bow. If the ramp is too steep or not steep enough the anchor gets caught on the trailer wench post! So it needed to be lifted which is exactly what they finally did!!
enough on the wait for it!!!!
Tie the rear cleat to dock while truck is on dry land. Unhook all straps and bow cable. Move truck slightly up with tender on bow rope. Gently pull up truck til bow floats. Pull back on Bow rope and tie to dock. Happy day!
Why the hell doesn’t he get in and drive it off. He’s as green as a October cabbage 🥬
HELLO.
I just got home to find my husband watching this “episode”…… I’m astounded that no one, including you, (because you thought you had a “perfect storm” opportunity)……jumped in to give these guys a hand. In Australia that boat would have been launched long ago….because plenty of other boaters would have lent a hand right at the start. If you see someone in trouble lend a hand……what is wrong with people.
I watched an episode of some doofis trying for 30mins and turn down an offer to help. Sadly, most ppl would tell u to bug off and myofb. The guy said he wanted to learn himself. He never got the boat in the water.😂he jus left.priceless. but I agree about helping ur neighbor. But I heard someone say u can't fix stupid.
My thought exactly 💯 . They'd rather watch someone fail ( they'll even give false advise ) because to them its funny .
In the US, especially since Trump, we have become increasingly selfish.
@@susiepittman601 since Trump? How in the world do you find a way to bring politics into this video? You have extreme issues that you should talk to a psychiatric specialist about. But since you wanted to bring in politics, how is that vote for Biden working out for the country? Carter is just glad that he lived long enough to see that there was another president to ruin the country more than he did. got to love the inflation, high gas prices and shortages everywhere.
Us here in Texas would have helped immediately!!!! That's how we are!!!!🥰🥰🥰
they were lucky its high water and that part of the ramp is not that slippery
Wait to the time of return. It will be somewhere near or right after low tide.
chit happens to almost everyone sometime when boating. just the way it is with all the variables (trailer, boat, tow vehicle, ramp, conditions, etc)
rollers on the trailer
With that size boat they are a must!
Sloppy boaters down there. Engines always trimmed up too high, ladders dragging in the water
Damn dog you know how to burn some hours. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
3 stooges there! The nice suv gets a saltwater bath! They need to find another hobby!
Hey Alfred, you ever see tourists walk around the dock and fall in , not paying attention ? Happens up here in AK in Homer and Seward all the time 😂
😂😂😂
Amazing the blue boat with the nice paint has more power then 70 yacht if you seen how much it coast to run one hour it turns you gut but man its awsome that hour ride
I cant wait to see him put it back on
Coast Guard was undercover,lol
That was the Auxiliary (civilians who aren’t paid, carry no weapons, and have no arrest powers). Not the real US Coast Guard, which is one of the US military branches.
Dude, lower the outboards and put it in reverse!! Just don't expect to get it back on trailer without a whole lot of power!!
I don't think we have to worry about this guy ever attempting to put it back on the trailer without renting a crane
lower the outboards and put it in reverse Best way to suck the wife's car into the drink
@@jazldazl9193 That's for sure !
I want to see the kayak disaster you mentioned!😮😂
Love the commentary. LOL
Can you imagine what it's going to be when they try to load the boat back up???
We won't have to worry about that. It's parked on a reef as we speak
HE SHOULD SELL THE BOAT AND TAKE UP BOWLING! HE NEEDS AN “E Z LOADER” TRAILER WITH ROLLERS, YOU DRIVE OFF AND DRIVE ON IT. HE DIDN’T WANT TO SPEND A FEW MORE DOLLARS FOR A BETTER TRAILER. HIS “FLOAT ON” TRAILER NEEDS TO BE SUBMERGED TO LAUNCH AND RETRIEVE. I STILL THINK HE NEEDS TO TAKE UP BOWLING.
Alfred, the coast guard boat you saw going by, is a civilian boat privately owned and operated. Those folks are a group of civilian people volunteering to go on the water and assist the US Coast Guard. They are called Coast Guard Auxilaries.
3m teflon spray from any big box store will help wit a boat stuck to the trailer pads. It works! I could tell a story but it takes to long. But it's funny as hell!
I can't believe I watched it for 23 minutes. Thought something was gonna happen. Can't say you falsely advertised as it was a true shit show but damn. You were hurting for videos to upload that day weren't you. Ever think of offering little advice. I imagine you were born with the knowledge. Got to start somewhere. Atleast he isn't filming some poor guy crossing his fingers that he loses his car and posting it online. Ill have a beer with the inexperienced boat launcher over you any day
✊
Watching them isn't as painful as having to listen to you prattle on.
If you and I thought the same thing I wonder how many more viewers agreed with us? I feel these vids would be 110% better if he was muted.
You guys don't have to watch these videos hahaha morons
You can turn the sound off you know?
And yet here you are...
The blue boat at the beginning was an Apache! as for the guys trying to get that boat of the trailer, it was painful! Boat was floating, it appeared that the boat hook got stuck on the winch... (my guess).. really novices getting that boat off the trailer.. also noticed that the trailer had NO rollers on the bow, just some sort of bar.. not sure about that idea! Another great Chit Show Alfred!
Your commentary is epic 😂👍
They backed in too far. The stern was floating too high and hung the bow eye on the trailer.
Next time he'll call you
I am guessing these guys just bought the boat and this is the first time trying to launch it, and they are clueless.
Rock n Roll Trailers from opa-locka built an awesome trailer for me. My boat sit's low and real easy off and on.
Wow, it never ends
You just waisted 23min of my life bro. As you were hoping for that car sink into the water I was hoping for you to slip up and your camera to go "bloop bloop bloop"
Thank you i needed that laugh
Finally, a f ing review I can get behind!! You took the words right out of my mouth brother. I owe you a beer!
