I watch a few ramp channels..you 4 sure have best graphics, drone footage and editing...plus less commentary and more fails..keep it up
Said a fellow hillbilly
Thank you my friend
At least they got to the dock
@@TheBigDanShowhe just got his boat like full throttle way open when he’s not in the water on his boat so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Call me crazy but I think leaving your motor in gear, prop whirling away, and nobody at the helm is about the most reckless and brain dead thing I’ve seen in a while…along with not putting the winch and safety chain on before pulling the boat out of the water.
Hold my beer!
100%
All of the above, YIKES 😬
Yep, Dumb Yanks.
Ya WTF?
Best piece of advice I can give to people, especially couples, take a day off work in the middle of the week, go to the ramp, and practice.
He left it to her tide the boat on the trail! When he should had made sure himself!
It's easier to go to an empty parking lot and set out a couple traffic cones. Some Boat ramps you come straight down, others you come in from a right angle. So all of these need to be practiced. If you do, you look like a boss on vacation. 👍😎
Best advice I can give to them is to discuss before hand about frustration and not to get mad at each other during the process. That he is going to give instructions and she needs to follow them and not get mad.
More relationships ruined by yelling at the girlfriend/wife trying trailer the boat
Also, never go faster than you are willing to hit something.
The people randomly focusing their anger at onlookers and drones instead of loading their boat, never gets old.
In the words of Fred Sanford, you got the boat trailer in too deep….you big dummy so I’m gonna flip off the drone!! 🤣🤣 hello from the HAWKEYE state.
Dehydration due to alcohol abuse. If you want to de fuse the situation. Have your girl go over and ask," Does the old man need a nap?"
As a former boat owner, I thought I saw it all at the boat ramps. Your show proves that the show still goes on. Lol. Thanks for the laughs.
It's worse than ever, imho.
Me too over 60 years of experience boating. 😂
@@thomaslamb8337 i was born on a boat, and I am the best ever.
Them: I bought a boat
Me: did you take a boaters safety course?
Them: I bought a boat
"daddy wheres the bottle i peed in" had me rolling lol great video
I know, right!😂 Classic! 👌🏼
7:45 leaving the helmets with the boat revving in gear🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤡
I came into the comment to find this comment. Absolute legend.
I had to recycle it son. Now drink your apple juice!
3:05 lol
Boat ramps can be some good entertainment, way back in the day before mobile recording devices. We used to grab some beer and just hang out at the boat ramp laughing at folks.
Same here as kids...what fun..seen it all..lmao
I have often said exactly what you did. Cheap entertainment, get a six pack and a lawn chair and you will laugh till you piss your pmts.
Hours of good times!🤣
Me & my buddies would have lawn chairs, a cooler of beer and scorecards... "Some people" did not think it was as funny as we did. lol
@@johnstout5784 score cards! 😂👍
When people complain about you filming them, they have to understand that you have a right to do so in a public situation and you’re not rude to them. I enjoy your channel.😷👍
Thanks my friend. You’re right
First Amendment protected activity!
Sure, it is protected, and I will always fight for that right, but it would be much better if you turned all your equipment on, then swam over and actually helped people instead of pointing out their mistakes
@@johnlewis9687 how will everyone else learn? Most don’t want the help. They get real pissy when you advise them on something
@@TheBigDanShow you are probably right on that considering the circumstances, I’m different I guess, I think you could make a whole channel helping and filming - but that’s me not considering badasses and alcohol
Need to get some banners to pull behind your drone, "You're in too deep!" Or, " Back up some!" Love the channel, watching from Wyoming.
strap a loud walkie talkie to it and talk to em
The biggest problem with loading the boat on the trailer is having the trailer too deep into the water.
I don't understand why people don't understand that!
And also not enough trailer in the water
90% of trailers, if the fenders are level with the water, you're good..
A simple fact that credit card captains don't ever seem to hear..
The moving water doesn't help either
@joshjackson6133
Moving water doesn't help, which is why you shouldn't back the trailer so deep. Let the bunk boards do their job of lining and guiding the boat on the trailer.
Like someone else said. Back it in to where the top of the trailer fenders are just above or even with the water level.
Got to love the guy who dropped his boat off the trailer. Leaving it on the trailer. Unattended with heavy throttle. Creating a nice week to make. Everybody else is like difficult because he doesn’t know how to properly do things.
Keeps the slip clean😂
I almost always launched and retrieved my boat by my self. A few minutes is all I needed. If the boat and trailer weren't perfect, I still pulled out of the way for others and used a little jack to nudge the boat into place. A couple of inches out of place , no problem. Respect for others. Only had a 16' speed n ski with 85hp Mercury .
Same here nobody could ever accuse me of being a ramp hog.
If I saw what looked to be an experienced boater I'd tell him to line up after me as I'll be launched in minutes.
I loved Spider-Man’s hand signals! 😂😂. I always love it when people give me directions, especially when I’m my mirror while backing a trailer, by spinning their hand in circles like their turning the steering wheel. It’s the worst!! You can never tell what they’re trying to tell you!!
It's 5:30am in Hixson,Tn. Love Love Love your videos. There's something entertaining about boats in and out of the water. You Sir, make it even more entertaining to watch. I'm 70 years young and I have spent my fair share of time on the water. Thanks for
Sharing 👍👍💕
I am a Navy veteran and retired Army 1SG. Saw enough ocean being underway all of the time. In the Army I was a Prime Power Production Specialist (52E). Approaching retirement, with about six months remaining I was hired as a field service technician for Detroit Diesel. Repairing marinized generators, marinized propulsion units and very large land based generators. I flew all over the world working on M/Y, Water Taxi’s, fishing boats in Dutch Harbor, ge sets on the North Slope, etc. In every interaction I had with engineers on the ships/watercraft…was told to “never, ever” buy a boat. I was born and raised in S. Idaho and boating is not big here.
When told that if I am thinking about buying a boat…just take my money and flush it. I don’t see the massive appeal of them. I lived in Jax for years…stationed at Mayport and still knew zero people into boating. [?] who are these people? Are boats a status symbol? What’s up?
Maybe a Status Symbol.
But there ain’t nothing like a good day on the water with your family or friends. A lot are here for the party.
Lol he called the Deadpool spare tire cover spiderman!! 😅😅😅 love these vids never stop doing this buddy. As a trucker these weekend pirates are hilarious to me.
Deadpool would be truly offended.
As a trucker, thinking of these people driving on the highway with their boat trailers, is scary!
I'm a Deadpool fan and didnt catch that, good eye
Hey, love the video. That is a Deadpool tire cover not Spiderman btw. That was his first time loading the boat as well. How do I know all this? I'm the guy driving the jeep and that's my youngest son. I'm very proud of the ending there. LOL! I'm fairly new to boat ownership as I had two jet skis before buying this, so I do appreciate the education. I didn't even think about how far it was in the water, now I know better! 9:02
He gave the drone the bird. 🤣🤣
Seriously, at what point do you realize you’re going to keep drifting away if there’s nothing to sit on? Pull up 2-3 feet. Cmon man!
"I ain't the one driving the boat"😂😂
Some of the best fights and best memories are my husband and I putting the boat in to the water and taking it out LOL
I wish I was close to a boat ramp...I would camp out there ever day. Guess I will just come here lol
What video can I find the footage on😂🤪
A rancher told me that nothing that is said while working cattle “counts” and I think the same is true for boating.
I’ve spent my entire life in Minnesota loading and unloading boats thousands of times, if people would simply ask how to do it, save so much trouble and money.
I feel so fortunate to have a private dock with 3 slips, never really have to worry about winding up on the internet, I live on a lake though. I'm in a cove so the biggest issue for us are disrespectful bass fisherman that think it's fine to go 45 plus mph just to get to they're fishing spot, and in the process through off huge wakes that destroy people's docks and boats. The Corps of Engineers has told me to take photos of every vessel that speeds so they can write tickets. My great great grandfather was involved on the construction on this lake in the 40s, built a cabin and a dock here, there's no one left in my family to look after this place so it's up to my girlfriend and I, I'm a nice person but I'm really protective over the place
@@TheBigDanShow Lake Norfolk near Mountain Home Arkansas
we call them Bassholes
Imagine having one of the most embarrassing and frustrating moments of your life and as you're trying to figure it out, a drone swoops in for a closer view
🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not sure why but watching these relaxes me 😂😂😂
Glad you like them!
Pro Tip: for pontoons, barely get the rear of the bunks in the water. Have someone in the tow vehicle. Run the pontoon onto the bunks as far as it will go with light throttle. At that point, have the person in the tow vehicle slowly back the trailer under the pontoon while the boat driver holds light throttle until the boat meets the front stop, then stop the vehicle. This method is particularly valuable when there is choppy waters/crosswinds. Backing a pontoon trailer in too far is a recipe for comedic gold at best and property destruction at worst.
I once loaded my tri-toon on a ramp that had one side of the ramp deeper than the other making the starboard side lower than the port side. When I got it up to the winch it was straight. When my father-in-law began to drive my truck up out of the water a wake came in and caused the stern to drift towards starboard as we were pulling out. The lip of the deck drifted on top of the guide-on on the trailer right as we came up out of the water. Not long after that the boat fell off the guide-on ripping the deck up about 4''. Lesson learned the hard way but either way it was a lesson learned.
What do you mean by bunks?
@@williammurray8060 He talkin bout the beds you and your brother slept in when you was little.
@@williammurray8060😂😂😂
@@williammurray8060 the carpeted bunks on the trailer where the boat sits. They are called different things in different parts. I've heard them called skids as well.
Two pieces of advice.
Add a keel guard before you ever put it in the water.
Always have a safety chain or rope connected between the trailer and the bow eye before you pull out of the water.
This is wonderful. I love EVERYTHING about this. My new favorite...
Thanks
I'm one of those guys that gets as close to the dock as possible with trailer and then just walk boat onto trailer. Been doing it for several decades and never once had a problem. Dunno...
If it works for you. It works for me.
Well that's what the guy gets for leaving the throttle in forward, while leaving his two small children in the boat, what a DB.
@@TheBigDanShow one of the dumbest things I have ever seen someone do, if I would have been there I would've read him the riot act.
Ever taken your vehicle on a ferry? That’s exactly how they hold them against the dock for you to load or unload. Many rental places will nose their pontoon boats up to the dock and leave them idling in gear to hold them in place. With roller bunks, that’s what they used to recommend that you do until you got the strap hooked up. It was actually in the instructions.
You cannot blame the boat ramp. As Alfred Montaner (Chit Show) says, "and the panic sets in..."
I live in Florida, and my husband and I fish together for many many years I have never seen a boat ramp as busy as that one that you're showing their right now.
Great video nothing more entertaining than a boat ramp . . I have a 690 Ranger that I have a Boat2trailer hook up on takes me and driver 2 minutes to the boat . Can't to see the next circus
Welcome to the channel
Yeah buddy you missed the money shot for sure lol! Pro Tip: Always leave some of your bunk boards above water to guide the front of the boat onto the trailer. PS. That was a fantastic end to the vid if ya know what I'm saying 😎
Needed to keep the camera going a little longer tho 🙂
Wow. A lot of very unsafe boater. One full throttle and leaving. Another sit at bow of boat with legs hanging out into dock.
The way that blondie straddled the gunwale really did it for me today! can't wait for summer to return to these parts!
When I had a boat I learned that by dropping the tail gate on my truck made it so easy to see the trailer .
Definitely can help
Spiderman? That's Deadpool.
whoever taught that guy to give er full throttle to hook up the boat needs his man card revoked
Nothing better than watching people tare their toys up ! It's better than going to the movies and free.
💪💪💪
people are classic, might have to go down to the ramp at lakemead this weekend and see what kinda shenanigans go on down there...
I’d like how you zeroed in on the Seadoo Switch 😂
If you are new to boating, I recommend some practice when the launch isn’t busy. Keep the beer in the cooler until you get back safely.
Yessss.
What people fail to realise is that if they have an electric winch with remote it is worth an extra set of hands, and if there is a breeze blowing then choose a position next to a walkway on the side that the wind is blowing from and put a line from the stern over one of the walkway posts and back to yourself then you can control the stern drift.
This is why I taught my son to drive our boat when he was young. These dudes who are the only ones in their family who know how to put the boat on the trailer are not doing anyone any favors!
There is NO EXCUSE for one person to do both boat and trailer. It's the captain's responsibility to train someone to do one or the other.
Hiccups still happen. I can load & unload our 17 x8 great! But when there's people & onlookers it's so different. Maybe just a woman thing idk
Should put a speaker on the drone so you can talk to people when you fly over 😂
I may not be the smartest man, but I know how to launch and load a boat without making any mistakes or making myself look like an idiot, even of its only a few times a year. I forgot a drain plug when I was 17 and learned my lesson. Fortunately i didn't sink my boat. Maybe people need a check list. Motor off check, motor up check, tie downs check, safety chain check. Drain plug, check. E brake on truck check.
Watching these videos sure does make you ponder the wisdom of buying a used boat.
I was wondering about the no wake zone? It really only applies to some people. We always respect it.
Get out to a boat ramp during the week on a cold nasty day so you are the only boat out there. Spend as much time as you need to back in and pull out. There is honestly no excuse for some of these boaters it's embarrassing
😂... Daddy, where is that bottle I peed in? Best thing I heard so far all day 😅
🤪😂🤣
He’s so mad when he saw that drone flying against his boat that’s so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He was fuminnnnn
Watching from Orange County CA. Never had problem one launching or trailering my boat this is just hilarious. I used to watch people at the ramp all the time doing all sorts of stupid. And unfortunately, not even duct tape fixes stupid.
Had many a laugh at Dana Point ramp. If I had been smart I wouldve gotten a maritime law degree and just set up a chair and video taped the ramp with a stack of business cards.
I loved hearing that little boy say, "Daddy were is that bottle I peed in?"
Ahaahaha good times
It's called a safety chain for a reason. Guy looked like was just trying to get to much done and things got forgotten.
"safety chains are for people that dont know what they're doing"
heard it many times.
lol imagine having one of the most frustrating and expensive disasters just to have a drone buzzed in you face while you handle it. My man
@@TheBigDanShow Love it
The boat ramp was flawed by design and had to be somewhat redone after grand opening. Watching this video is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!
7:45....Ahhhh that's what that bow eye and hand winch is for, hook-up, and pull the boat on the trailer.
Yessss
The Pontoon boat with all the ropes looked like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Float
It sure did. 😂😹🤣
You can fix stupid, but it's going to hurt.
Jeep guy has enough advise for the whole world.
Yes I Do. LOL 😂
Worked at a ramp for 5 summers, nothing worse then power loaders, then leaving the motor pushing the boat as they try and crank it up at the same time.
I watched that happen at the ramp once while waiting to get off and get our trailer. Steepish 50 yard ramp triple axel trailer with tilt-able rollers at the end. Winch cable let lose half way up and the safety chain wasn’t hooked. Gave new meaning to dry docked.
Haha nice
Awesome. I love the boat ramp channels on CZcams. I also love the drone work bro.
I subbed ya 😊
I can’t get enough of this!!! My friends are getting addicted, too!! When I’m not on the water I watch Alfred at BP Miami, Credit Card Captain, etc.
Toilet ducks
@@reneap9049 Mee Toooo! 😂 I watch all of them when I’m not out on my boat! Lol 😆
Some feel it is necessary to spray a silicon type lubricant on their carpeted bunk boards to help the boat slide off easier and trust me it definitely works as seen in that video.
Back in the day it was dish soap. You’d see guys at the ramp squirt a half a bottle of it on each runner. LOL. I never saw one slide back off, but I always found it completely unnecessary to do. If you do things the right way you don’t need to lube your runners.
😂😂. I'll never twist that mistake! It took 2 years for that crap to finally wear off. 2 years of having to quick hop off the waverunner and go hook up the strap before it slides completely off the bunks 😂. I was given some terrible advice, and I learned from it.
Husband yelling at her like he didn't know she was about to pull up. He forgot to connect it, starts raging at her and then leaves the engine blasted while leaving the boat. #winner
Yupppp lol
As a Boston Whaler owner here in NJ, I cannot wrap my head around the fact that people seem to love going through the entire debacle of taking their boat to a launch, get it in the water (which lots of times fails or turns into a problem), then go and park their truck somewhere, then disembark for however long, then do the entire process in reverse of trying to get their boat back on the trailer (another stage of the game with good likelihood of failure, then driving it back home, parking it on your property, disconnecting the trailer etc.
I'm not sure what the desire is to go through that every single time you want to go out. If I had to do that every time my boat would become a permanent driveway or lawn ornament. Why go through all that nonsense & aggravation when you can keep it at a slip? There's a bajillion marinas where you just drive down & park, hop in your boat & set sail. Because at the end of the boat time you just want to park it in the slip & drive home (unless your property has a slip/dock to keep your boat on).
The last thing I want to do is come back to the dock tired, sunburned & then have to fire up my truck, back down into the water, get the boat on the trailer etc. etc. Too much aggravation & time involved & each & every time you launch/recover your boat like that increases your chances significantly of a fail or some other debacle.
💪💪💪👌👌👌
@@TheBigDanShow BTW my father retired as a detective in NJ but quickly bought a beach front condo in Orange Beach. I only got to visit him 3 times before he passed away but the Orange Beach area kicked ass. I could be wrong but I think in 1989 Orange Beach was still low key & you could get a great deal on a home/condo there but according to my friend I used to fly with in the Navy he says it's fully exploited with sky high prices - that's too bad if that is true.
MONEY. Not everyone is a millionaire.
Plus, if you rent a slip, you are stuck on one body of water.
Boat ramps and traffic round-a-bouts are some of the best free entertainment, pull up a lounge chair and cooler of beer and be prepared to be entertained for hours
Ain’t no doubt!
You’re joking, but I used to do just that. A popular boat ramp near the inlet, in Ocean City, MD, there would always be a mile long line. So waiting in line, we’d get in the back of my truck, play music, drink a beer and watch the comedy until we got in. Always had 30-45 minutes of laughs watching pissed off boaters…well, wannabe boaters. Nothing better. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Tip of the day: When the trailer fenders are just sunk . STOP
My boat calls for 2 inches of fender above water
So this is the new launch I was told about. Grew up down there and didn’t even realize it until you turned and showed the Wharf😂. Can’t wait to see my dad on here lol.
I am very late to the show, but really like the "attitude" of your show. From South LA, Rigolets Pass.
Dad was griping at the son for not getting it on the trail. But dad is the one that back the trail in to far.
Always too far!
I wasn't getting mad at all, it was his first time. I'm sure it seems like that with my arms flailing around. 😅😂
I’ve always wondered why some of the really busy boat ramps don’t have like a valet type system, you unload your boat get a ticket call when you are coming in they have your trailer ready in the water, maybe they do at places not sure
@@TheBigDanShow probably save some frustration and fights as well
I think it's because there's not a universally, or at least commonly accepted, method of launching and retrieving. Everyone thinks their way is "right", and far too many people don't give a rat's ass how long they make others wait. Almost everyone in my area drops off a driver to get the trailer, and almost no one ever parks at the dock. Works so much better than the shit show in most of these videos.
@@richardredhead well said when I go with my brother that’s how we do it one get the trailer one stays with the boat
I was thinking of a harbourmaster type to direct and help out
Good idea, would prevent a lot of Chinese fire drills.
Love that you have a drone which is original for boating channels.
Glad you like them!
I've found that busy boat ramps are the best free entertainment available today!! I swear I've seen more than a few divorces take place at these ramps! (disclaimer...I may or may not have had my share of issues at the ramps over the years!)
Simple rule at the ramp. If you can’t see the trailer it just might be to deep.
Dude on the seadoo ponoon looks new to boating and the worst thing you can do for a first boat is get a big boat thats uses a jet to control it
We love it. Had 2 jet skis previously. That was his first time. I didn't know about the trailer thing. I've learned something now 😂
@Bobonthis with a jetski its slightly different then with a bigger boat especially something like a pontoon thats already hard to control, and when you add jet power theres no slow speed turning control due to the false neutral and no rudder thats why a first time buyer shouldn't buy jet power boats as a first boat because they are more likely to crash them at slow speeds then a boat with a rudder system
@@Bobonthis also just to be far to you pontoons no matter the size or engine just in general are known to be a pain to put on a trailer, to control in the wind, professional captains have trouble with them sometimes 🤣🤣 so don't take bad press about what yall did wrong the wrong way some of us grew up with and around boats our whole lifes so we know things that salesman wouldn't tell a new boater they just sale the good never the bad.
You had one job Big Dan one job 😂 5:00
Hahaaaa
“Daddy where’s that bottle I peed in”😂
Lol
For crying out loud!! You missed the smashed door on the pickup, the hot rod boat into the dock, and the live bottom trailer dump!! You need to stay on point when filming.
@@TheBigDanShow Are those "Tuck Friendly Bikinis"? Lol
@@kenuber4014 I mean there’s so many choices where do you point the camera?
im really liking these boat ramp vids
@DJares3 these videos make me feel better about my own trailer skills
Thanks Big Dan, very enjoyable to listen to you and the funny incidents. From George, Western Cape, South Africa.
Watching from Norway and I must say that this is kinda funny. It reminds me when I was really new to caravan and caravan parks. You drive in and everybody is watching you, and to see if you mess up. But I have learned and now I have a bigger caravan with movers. So everybody watching me is like, ahh that is not fun.
By the way, why is everyone coming in at the same time, it's like rush hour.
Yeah people hang out at the islands all day and then come back just before dark
Thanks for the entertainment
That kid & his dad fighting before the drone went up. Normally I’d say dad should bring it in, but he doesn’t even know his trailers in too deep. Recipe for disaster.
Hahaha got that right
Great video bud! Tuning in from the PNW Oregon, we see a lot of boat ramp fails like this I need to start filming 😂
❤❤First of all I love watching your boat videos. Second of my husband and I had a 17-foot family boat several years ago I miss my boat. Now we go camping. I’m trying to get my husband to buy a boat again. My husband knows how to put the boat on the trailer and off.
Too funny! Keep it up!
Thank you
Love that I got a SeaDoo Switch advertisement as the guy was attempting to land his SeaDoo. The algorithim is working.
3:08 “Daddy, where’s that bottle that i peed in”

Always have to have that peecan
Oh yeah I just just heard bird dog take off can’t wait to see what he sees
I think Mr Bird Flipper has been the recipient of too many participation trophies, lol
To the guy flipping off your drone…. If you can’t stand the heat, get OUT of the kitchen!! 😂
As a seadoo switch owner, I can confidently say this boat is super freaking easy to trailer. My fiance with no prior boating experience trailered it in 30mph winds on the front of a severe thunder storm. It really aint rocket science.
Big Dan, you sir are a true blessing.
Haha thanks man
ran across this by accident and I can't stop watching. It's hilarious to see these people that just ain't got it together. I love it...
“Not judging…..just reporting”

Love boating and this is kinda why seeing people mess around get angry and shit. 😂

Seems like coming here would be a fun lunch break
Damn man..... y'all got some world class humor at y'alls ramp!!
