How does one get a Promo code, I love your videos, the content and the message. I work from home in BC Canada and plan to move to move to Florida in the future and your videos have really helped me with that decision. I turn to life by the bow everyday as line of happiness for myself and I would like to buy some of your merchandise for myself and my family.
A little helpful advice for you my friend, apply grease to your coupler and hitch ball.
Wow 3.75 Gas be great to travel back in time and get that again.

Its been 2 years and still the only video I can find on You tube about this subject for a large boat. Thanks for doing this. I hope you can add to it with a video on trailering long distance with a 40ft boat as well one day.
Man, that is a big girl Clay…. and a ton of solid tips. A whole lot of boaters will profit from watching this video a few times… whether big boats or small… most of these tips apply. Really well done… thanks!
Appreciate the kind words Lance and of course thanks for watching
Good stuff!! I appreciate the consideration at the ramp. My wife and I have it down to an art. Once It’s my turn it takes less than a minute and a half to get her launched. Yanking it out takes about two minutes. These people that deflate their toys, pack up their crap on the ramp get me fuming. So thank you for the time dedicated to courtesy.
Exactly!! People that pull up with nothing ready to launch/trailer their boat, taking up a slip for 20+ minutes are rude.
It’s a common courtesy to our fellow boaters to have your rig ready when you get to the ramp.👍🏻
I NOW NEED AN ICE MAKER, WHAT A GREAT IDEA
Agreed! They’re very convenient to have!
YOUR WIFE IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE AN ORGANIZED AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL GUY LIKE YOU, MOST GUYS AREN'T EITHER OF
Appreciate you Lee!
FOR THOSE THAT GET SEA SICKNESS WHEN ON A BOAT, THIS PROBABLY DOESN'T SUIT ME, BUT I LIKE WATCHING YOU GUYS FISH
Thanks so much!
Good to see that someone else is as " particular" as I am when it comes to the boat. My boat is as clean as my house, maybe cleaner. Some people's boats cost times what they paid for their house. For me , it's a matter of pride and your going to get max dollars out of your rig if you ever decide to sell. Good tips for beginners!
This guy is a damn American legend. The courtesy to other boaters at the dock is such a nice thing to do. I wish everyone pulled over on the side of the road and prepped their boat like him. Also, he handles an 8 ton, 40 foot boat like it’s a dam Toyota Corolla in an empty Walmart parking lot. Don’t be fooled everyone, he has WAY more skill than 98% of humans on earth. This guy is not average lol..
As a young adult, thanks for showing what hard work provides and Inspires you to keep growing. Been following for awhile and always look forward to the great videos. Thank you for the great content week in and out!
Of course Phillip glad you’re enjoying our videos!
It's nice seeing an owner taking such good care of their boat. I Captain owner/operator boats for the last 30 years, 80' to 120' range, they could give a shit less. I usually only do relocation's or run the boats when they have a full cruise schedule. I get to the boats at least 3 day's ahead of time and do nothing but cleaning....
Msster chef takes goid care. Of boat yaghts any size girkfrin with master chef in bed room
Just boat my first boat and this is by far my favorite boat video i’ve found on youtube. Very good information, i’ve watched it twice already
Congratulations! I appreciate you following along.
Amazing!! Great vid and thank you 🙏. I have a 18 ft for lake use and looking to do some lake hoping this year.
😄I just saw your video. Thank you for sharing this important information reference what it takes to get the boat ready. All we see is the fishing part and the boat in the ocean having fun. But the preparedness takes time, like you say fueling, buying snacks and loading the boat, buying bait and so on. It is just that is exhausting. However the payoff is great when you see your family or friends in total enjoyment. Thank you so much for the info.
Thanks for the kind comment! The reward outweighs the work that goes into boating. It’s where we find our enjoyment. Wish you all the best!
Thank you very much Clay for sharing this awesome information!! The way you pass out this info along with the editing is phenomenal.
Of all the nice things in this video, i can really tip my hat and respect having your own ice maker. Lots of helpful information in this video, keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching.
Awesome Video Thanks For Sharing!! 🌴
God she’s gorgeous. I love how spotless she’s kept. Always appreciate the boating tips/tricks videos.
Glad you enjoyed it Tom thanks so much
Great video. Good advice.
Thanks so much!
Great information. Been fishing/trailering for years now and I actually learned a few good tips. Great job
Glad to hear it thanks for watching
You guys are very to the point and always informational Great videos great content love watching you guys keep it up live that good life
Man, you definitely know what you're doing. Keep up the good work
I’m a future boater, and this video is excellent. Solid teaching brother.
After watching tons of videos from Miami Boat Ramps....you are clearly in the very upper tier of being able to handle your gear. Well done!
That is the best compliment! Thank you so much!
I appreciate the tips. Especially cool because I just got a 37' center console a couple days ago and launched it today for the first time in Big Pine Key. Watching your videos actually inspired the purchase of the boat, various equipment, and the month-long vacation I'm currently on. I even sported an Avail shirt today! You're influencing lives for the better! Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge!
I want a boat but man how do people have the money

I'm on my second center console and both did not come with a trailer. Delivered to my marina and rack stored...that said I always thought about a trailer purchase but remember when I did trailer my boat what a pain it was! However a trailer gives you options for traveling to different ports without running far distances. Great rig! Best of luck!
removing all items protects against theft too, Nice new GMC !! Great video - lots of good points people tend to forget about.
I always love the 'this is how you do it,' vids. Of course this one was missing the star of the show, STEPHANIE!
Trailering is the easy part for me. New to boating and so much to learn
The more you do it, the easier it gets. Congratulations on the new boat. Thanks for following along on our channel.
Wow!!! Fantastic video!! Lots of great info, thoughts, and insights! Thanks Clay!!
Thank you Craig!
Beautiful boat and property 😍
Been towing for 40 yrs and learned something here tonight on the hooks. I always put mine the other way.
Towed everywhere 27’ formula.. never had a problem but I’m going to change how I do it.. Great video as always
Keep them coming.
Glad to hear Greg! Thanks for watching
Gregg just because this video shows the hooks one way does not mean it's the best. Obviously you have proven that. Personally I've placed them both ways and despite towing for decades, never had a problem. Although the trailer in this video is different then the one my Contender is on, mine also has a cable with smaller hook in the event of a runaway trailer when the cable is pulled by vehicle, the trailer brakes are activated.
Excellent video. For some one who has been boating for year. I still have learned something. Thanks for making this video.
Glad to hear so William appreciate you watching!
Love the video - informative. I remember the fear of the ramp - this dock the ramp falls off at the concrete edge at low tide - dont use this one for a boat of x size - all the stories made it nerve racking. Then you add in a monster like this! Boy was it quiet for unloading. Such a scary time on a busy weekend! DOES A GASOLINE STATION LIMIT you - if you wanted to fill up 500 gallons? Think how many cars that would be!
As someone who's never been on a boat before, I just got my first. A 23' pro line cuddy cabin. I plan to fish the Mississippi/Alabama coast and go offshore, mostly alone. So thank you for the solid tips!
Now... if anyone in Mississippi Don't mind teaching me how to maneuver this thing, that would be amazing! Lol, I really don't want to be "that guy" at the ramp... lol
Find an empty parking lot and set up some cones that would mimic a ramp area. now just practice maneuvering your boat. Practice, Practice, Practice
Best small cabin crusrr shallw warr draft
That was pretty awesome view of you docking that big ass boat! Experience
Great video. Beautiful boat
All I got out of this video is 3.75 for a gallon of gas… jk lol
great video with lots of info for all boat owners. I want to commend you on your speaking cadence. Very easy to understand and listen to.
That some talent right there from start to end!
What an amazing video! Enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for sharing those ideas with us and thank you for your time too. Hi from Turkey 🇹🇷
Wow, all the way from turkey! That is amazing! Thank you so much for watching!
@@LifeByTheBow love your videos ❤️
Lot of people who have these boats seldom take wind into account, as both a sailor and power boat owner never forget tides and wind-age when docking they can be of great assistance or hindrance. Consider this when launching and retrieving like this fellow did.
Thanks so much!
Nice job Clay in each aspect of that video 👊
Thanks Richard!
Definitely awesome video very informative Didn't realize how much work you had to go through just to put the boat on the water
A lot of work but all worth it for us and our viewers’
Nice video clay! My 1900V thanks you too.
gr8 video; thx so much! Scotty
That was helpful information. Thank you very much. Can't wait for the next video 👍🇦🇺
Welcome!
Thanks for the upload . Great tips 👌
thanks, I just bought a 32 tidewater, my last boat was a sportsman 282, so this goog stuff you post.
Thanks Greg!
Thank you so much. Great tips man!
Thanks so much for watching!
I just subscribed. You are so right. I have a 24 foot pontoon boat in northern California. It takes me a day to prepare for a camping trip. Being a truck driver helps when driving. I plan on starting a channel on CZcams, we'll see what happens. Thanks for this tutorial, it'll help a lot of people!

Great video! I totally agree with the cart for loading. It is a pain in the neck making a bunch of trips with gear. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching Donald!
Nice filming Stephanie!! 🤘 🤘 🤘
Didn't know the bit about trim halfway up to save some stress. Nice tip!!😁
Nice job on this video Clay, I appreciate all your instruction on this topic... Recently bought a 23ft Sportsman and am preparing to head down(trailering) to the Keys in February
Congrats on the new boat and safe travels down appreciate you watching
RAYMOND+ EXPENSIVE ON GAS?
Don't know sorts msn centers consel cabin cruse like proline or bith
Great video man. I love watching you both control that massive boat!
Appreciate that, lots of years of practice I guess. 😂 Glad that you enjoyed.
Many channels profess to know “how to” and don’t deliver. You and your channel are extremely detailed and understandable for viewers who have never done the things you are explaining.
I also appreciate that you wear a mic so you are clearly heard throughout the video. One question I have, because I don’t know anything about this subject is that you mentioned cruising to the Bahamas. Are you able to do that in your boat from where you live? If you haven’t already, perhaps a video on that and the preparedness needed for a trip like that?
Thank You!
Big fan of your you tube Channel and American boat. All the way from Mauritius island !!! keep it up!!!
What a great bunch of info!
As superficial as this video sounds it covers a lot of important details that most people aren’t even aware of. Great video! 💪
Thank you for watching.
After I watched your first video I noticed how long your front guide bunks are. My 30 Intrepid would never load straight on its own the first time. Turns out Rocket trailers is based here in Fort Myers!! I went and got 8 foot front guide bunks and replaced my 4 foot guide bunks. Game changer!!
Always nice problem solving 💪🏼
Always fun and educational watching your content!
Glad to hear it Marcus thanks so much
That’s pretty impressive and intimidating at the same time.
I don't have a boat clay but have been on a few boats in my life time, but I can always appreciate, your knowledge of all things boats and water and fish, sure do wish I could of met you and Stephanie when I was younger, great video, til next time bye 🌴🦜🐬👍🙏❤️😎
Thanks for watching Ruth appreciate the kind words!
You gotta do what you gotta do, life is life, $1000 is $1000, you know what’s ya doin.
THAT BOAT IS SICKKK
Thank you!
This dude rocks, because he has a great attitude!
Thanks Gary appreciate you!
Outstanding video. Wish more people would watch this.
Thanks Ron the more likes and comments the video gets the wider the reach it’ll have!
Noticed your electric over hydraulic brake system, had that installed on my 21' Scarab so my 1968 Mercury Monterey doesn't go for a swim!
That would really be so unfortunate. It would be a bad day.
Doing it with style 👍
Amazing ! In Italy gas price is 6.76 EUR/ gallon (7.29 dollar/gallon) ! It's insane!after watching your video I am no longer afraid to launch my 5 meter boat 🤣
I like how you have a sick set up but still think of others (getting set up before you get to the ramp).
Love the video
What a great training video. Hopefully this gets a lot of hits and a lot of people learn how to properly load and unload a boat and strap it down. Great safety tips, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Hector and of course the kind words
You bet !!! Keep up the good work and I’m sure I will run into you on the Sandbar in Islamorada.
We picked up a gorilla cart from Lowe’s for about $100 on sale. Thing is awesome and has lasted us many years. Used to load the boat as well as have taken it fully loaded out to the pier as well. All of the grate openings are awesome for quickly strapping gear down with bungee cords. I haven’t been able to find anything else that works as good as this garden cart does. Love the videos!
Great minds think alike! Thank you so much for the support!
Your the man bro , I learned so much off this video
Thanks Michael! Happy to help.
Thank you so much Clay for sharing this detailed information. This is very educational and I learned a lot. Have a pleasant sailing every time you go out there.
Very welcome!
Good info. The safety chain hook orientation gives me doubts. Should the hitch come off the the ball, those chains are there to prevent loss of the trailer. The orientation of the hook should be in a position for that eventuality.
Lots of great info here...
Dude that was like art how you pivot that boat man. I love maneuvers like that.
Appreciate it!
Don't have a boat, but this was a wealth of knowledge presented really well.
Fantastic video.
Lots of info here, nice job on keeping it real, it's always a lot of prep to get out. That dock was awesome. Beautiful boat, beautiful home. I'm not a fan of docking alone, you made it look easy. 👍
Appreciate you watching James and thanks for the kind words
that was a great service to (future) boat owners! thanks
Very welcome Patrick appreciate you watching!
Great and helpful video. You make it look easy brother.
Glad you thought so Will. Appreciate you watching.
Great info for any new boat owners.
Thanks appreciate you watching!
Great video, thanks for the education.
Great tips and well put together video... Might be redundant or obvious, but don't forget 4WD for the boat ramp! Too many guys sliding their trailer AND truck in after they forget to put it in 4WD.
Clay, Good video. It really show cases how much planning it takes to have an uneventful day on the boat. I totally agree with the ice maker, such a great convenience. I do wonder sometimes if it may be cheaper to buy ice. Ice machines are expensive and use a lot of water and electricity. But the convenience is worth it. My add to your video is something that is so important, check lists! I have different ones based on what I am going to do that day. A checklist for diving, fishing or just boating. They are printed and in the garage and I can tell you that sometimes as I review them it reminds me to put something else on the boat that I had forgotten.
Great input! Since we use ice so much we make our money back for its energy and water consumption. Something to think about is buy one and keep it turned off until you’re ready to use it.
Glad I ran into you at the boat ramp. Tight lines, good stuff.
It was great meeting you Reuel!
big boat to be trailering but youre very well organised and have got it down pat
Well done!
Beautiful boat
Appreciate that, thank you. Thanks for watching the videos.
Nice boat and nice skills
great video, enjoyed it!
Wish the gas prices were what they were when you made this video. You have to wait for those long boat trips for a while. Subcribed. Thanks for your awesome videos.
Absolutely amazing video. Thanks a again
Appreciate you thanks for watching
Your boat is the nice one I ever know Capt Clay
Appreciate that My friend
Great video as always. I just want to add one comment... especially in South Florida you must be careful with a boat and trailer of that size at the ramp. Many ramps drop off.. ends and drops deep especially at low tide. You can get stuck easily and I have seen where that cause caused trucks to end up sunk. The get stuck then slip and slide then sometimes end up in the water.
Great video, clearly you know your boat prep and handling. Thanks for sharing.
Great video my dude. Dope boat and thanks for the info!
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed it!
Damprid buckets work really well
Oh yeah, thanks for watching!
Great material
A great way to judge when it is floating. Just before you start to back in the water, put a couple of feet of slack in the strap. That will accomplish two things, 1) you will see it move just a bit when it is floating, 2) the slack will prevent boat from lifting the trailer and rear of the track, thus preventing you from being the topic of a CZcams ramp video and a very embarrassing call to your insurance company. Thank you for the video!
