Here in Florida, we carry good old-fashioned kitty litter to deal with slippery boat ramps. It is non-toxic even works on moon-tides, the lowest tide of the year.
Trailer rolled off Boca ramp one time. Buddy goes, I'll jump in and lift it while you gas it. I'm like heck no, you could get pinned. Naw, the tires have air in em and he jumps in and lifts the trailer.. 4 guys on the bumper and a tow strap to another truck on the dry, got out.
What type of cat litter? The type? Buy used terms to clay. It gets really slippery when it's wet and mushy. I was thinking maybe sand even would work. It would grind the algae off. Also maybe just a thought just a theory
@@NaruSanavaiThat is absolutely not true. Yes it doesn’t matter how much power if you have no traction but that is the key to four wheels… more traction. He needs more weight and to use his 4x4 properly.
I remember those days as a kid, but we had a Ford Torino, with a 351 Cleveland, and we would have to stand on the back bumper to get traction, the ramps back in the day were smooth concrete, there was always green slime, slippery as hell 😂
Almost sunk my 88 stepside chevy. It was smooth concrete with slime on it and the tide eventually came up and as soon as tha water touched those rear tires they were steadily spinning, couldn't catch traction and my truck just kept going in
4wheel drive and weighted rear end... Throwing some rail road ties in the bed of the truck and letting 10-15lbs of air out of the tires would solve the issue
This is why having a non electric emergency brake is essential in a truck! Set the e brake about half way and it’ll act like lockers and prevent wheel spin. You’ll crawl right up that slick hill!
There is a true art to this that has seemingly been lost to time.....I remember back in the 70s when more men had station wagons than trucks and to pull a boat out of a ramp like this they had a tow hitch on the FRONT of the vehicle
@@ianhurley6910I have seen it once in modern times, the man had a steep and narrow driveway with a couple of switchbacks on it, he had a front mounted tow bar so he could see what he was doing... But in the example given in the 70s it probably has more to do with weight distribution and possibly getting the drive wheels up out of the slippery stuff a little bit further.
Got one. 3/4 ton chev. 2 wheel drive. With a skirted flatbed. Hook the trailer to the front and never have issues at the ramp. Of course. I also have a decent size winch.
Those power strokes are super front heavy. They pull like a beast. like all the smart people are saying. Needing a little more weight on that rear end.
@@kevinfilbin7688 front diff more than likely isn't limited slip like the rear, so only 1 tire can lay down power, rear has nothing to keep the power planted to have 3 tires with good grip vs just the 1 up front
@smooth_ops2942 when you only get so much traction because your tires are wet and spinning u gotta do what u gotta do all he needed to do was have 2 or 3 or 4 people jump in the bed of the truck
I'm honestly not sure 4l would help. Should get a liquid tote and put in bed and load it full before pulling boat out then can dump it back out. Add 2.5k of wieght to help tires grip
Yeah like... use the tools the truck has available. First step, 2wd. If that doesn't work, 4wd hi. If that doesn't work, 4Lo. If that doesn't work, engage your locker. If that doesn't work, air down your tires. If that doesn't work, _then_ you ask someone to pull you out or start putting weight in the back of the truck. There's zero chance that truck couldn't pull that boat out in 4Low with the rear locker engaged with lower tire pressure. Unless it had a failing transmission or something catastrophic. This is a driver who doesn't know how his truck.
As a commercial fisherman for years I’ve pulled boats out that been loaded with 10,000 pound of fish before 4low has always worked. On ramps that make this one look like a beautiful Bahama beach I might add.
I saw an old boy having trouble getting his boat out with a little 4x4 90s ranger. He showed me a pretty neat trick for a little extra traction. The guy backed down a little ways further till about a quarter of his bed was under water then got out and stuck a couple of beach towels in the base of his tailgate. Next time he gunned it to pull out he had about 50 or 60 gallons of water weight over the rear axle and drove right out.
This is why I keep a small 3 gallon bucket of sand in the bed when I take a boat out. A small handful in front of the drive wheels and a tiny trailing drizzle of sand for a couple feet helps when the ramp is too slick.
Saw a man struggling with his boat like this once, was him his wife and 3 little kids, he had no help. Hooked my truck up to his and we pulled it out together.
My pops never owned 4wd trucks, so when we would pull the boat out and it was slippery, we would all get out of the boat and climb in the back of the pickup, in rare occasions when that wasn't quite enough traction, air down the rear tires a bit. I never remember having to use the boats engines to get us out of the ramp.
This is why people that own large trailer boats sometimes opt to buy a larger old tractor, or borrow one just for the ramp job. Many boat shops own tractors for the same reason.
Put some sand in the back of the truck. Spread sand out over the launch ramp. You'll have some weight over the back tires and you'll have sand for traction. It worked in the snow and ice
Yes. You are right. He should of saved his money and bought himself a brain. So because the guy failed at getting boat out, he just burned up the water pumps in 2 outboards, costing more money. Yes, I do have a boat along with an adequate rig to pull it. He could of had everyone there jump in the bed and walked right up. He could of asked someone for a pull with a strap. He could of chose a better day to pull it when the sunshine was out allowing the ramp to be dry. All of which are more valid reasons not to burn up two outboard engines…. Just sayn
My dad had a 1973 Pontiac Bonneville when I was a little kid. He'd haul his boat to the lake all the time with it and I can't tell you how many times he had to help somebody pull their boat out of the water with it. Most pickups just don't have enough frame weight in the back to go up the steeper boat ramps.
I own a twin/cntr con and would notice if the prop wasn't working by 1/2 the horsepower 8 got. I also guarantee that boat couldn't get in plane, dragging the propless engine through the water. Wasted gas and time...😂 this was a home run. Thank you CCC.
I had a 2000 Nissan frontier 4x4 and a 26 ft sea ox with twin mercruiser I/O’s. Never ever had a problem. Never had to use the engines. Just pulled it right out never even slipped a tire.
As a Floridian, lucky for me I have a Freightliner Renegade Rv to haul my boat. When In situations like this I just turn on the ATC. If I’m in situations like this I would’ve carried some cat litter for this truck.
Always carry natural unscented cat litter when going to the boat launch. One of my local ramps gets coated with mud and seaweed after every high tide as it's a tidal saltwater bay ramp. I pressure wash it once a month to help the other guys out who launch there. Always carry some kind of coarse material for traction though.
Lol it’s user error I pull a 35 donzi out of there often with the same truck. Nothing wrong with that boat ramp at all… other than idiots like you not knowing how to use your equipment
In January of 07 I was on a trip to ten thousand islands with my 93 Ford 2wd and a 1986 barrette 4 cylinder inboard , with a alpha one outdrive ( yeah I was balsy with that inboard ) loaded up at 10:45 pm , spun the tires till a little after 2am , finally got it out ..the next day I bought a new 07 chevy 4x4 1/2 ton ...that boats many boats gone , but I still got that chevy truck ..
It's not so much about power, it's about weight. A lot people dont realize how important it is to have your boat balance on the trailer with larger boats.
I can attest! The new F250s with the 6.7PS have mountains of power, but not enough ass to plant it when pulling a heavy trailer in slippery or muddy conditions.
@@WorBluxyeah, exactly. There’s very little difference these days. Used to be the one tons had a boxed frame and bigger coolers, etc., now they all have all that. literally the only difference is just stiffer spring package in the rear and usually a bigger rear diff if it’s a diesel model so the computer can give it full torque in first. Gassers are identical except the extra leaf spring for higher payload rating.
Get a Big chain. Hook it SECURLY to the Hitch on both ends. Leave plenty of room and CAREFULLY pull the boat up with the truck up on "dry land". Block the tires on the trailer, then re-hitch directly.
@quackhead7492 Yes... absolutely ! Started doing it at Camp Grayling(Military Camp - Public launch) Grayling Michigan in 1970s. 1963 wooden "Holiday" model Chris Craft. Still have the boat. Wins awards for most original. The launch was so shallow one needed to back the truck WAY to far out in the lake to get the boat to "float off the bunks". Chauk the trailer wheels, un Hitch, hook 15-20 feet of chain to truck and trailer Hitch. Tighten the chain by moving the truck forward till snug. Un Chauk the trailer and carefully let gravity pull the trailer back (maybe push a little) and reverse truck, until the boat floated off. Do in reverse order upon extraction. Works perfect and safe.... way safer than what you just saw. What can go wrong? Seriously. The trailer will follow the tight chain. Assuming you know HOW to hook up a chain.
3/4 and 1 ton trucks always have their tires inflated to at-least 60psi all the way up to 80psi. A boat that size won’t compress the suspension or put enough weight down on the rear tires to prevent it from slipping. A half ton truck typically has tires inflated to 35-45psi that also have softer sidewalls which will drastically help with traction as the tire is “softer” and flexes which will grip a lot easier than a fully inflated 3/4 ton 60-80psi inflated tire. Even a dually truck would do this whether it’s a Ford, GM or Ram truck. Not that hard of a concept to comprehend.
Put the truck in 4 low it would walk that boat right out of the water, 4 low is a crawler 4x4 and all 4 wheels work together without any limited slip like in 2 wheel or 4 high.
Thats because the bed of the truck should be full of cynder blocks or firewood and it will pull it right out. The problem is he has more weight up front than the back. So therefore its gonna spin.
Doubtful, I’ve seen them get stuck on wet grass, it’s not the truck it’s the surface, and someone not knowing to use 4L in this situation. Not sure why everyone says shit like this when the ford has twice the torque and hp as a gmc or Chevy, including the durajunk.

Its not a super duty issue… its an operator issue. I would try to explain this to my wife all the time…. F350 powerstroke, if she was pulling the boat/trailer out she would stab the throttle out of fear of rolling into the water, and if it was in 2wd which i would always leave it in, she would just spin out and id have to gtfo out of the boat, go lock the hubs, tell her to turn the 4wd on and carry on…. But if i did it, 2wd slowly roll on the power and it would ease right out with no slipping…. Like I said its an operator issue (i could not teach her because she would not listen because any time i tried to teach it was demeaning… im being curt because im not joking around, not because im trying be demeaning. Rant over
I hear you my friend. I have the same issue. Not allowed to say a damn thing, if you do, your lecturing. Same on the farm. If it's my 💡 idea, it's wrong. If it's the other help, it's a good idea. Leaving them lay in their own shit sounds reasonable to me. There. Now I am over my rant 🙃. 😊
I have never had any trouble at all on boat ramps slipping, 9,000 lb truck in a 6,000 lb boat. Also if you power wash the ramp on low tide it helps a lot.
Saw a guy launching a huge pontoon on a steep ass ramp with a 2wd truck, the only reason he made it out is the boat slid off the trailer from how steep the ramp was.

Or… hear me out… put it in 4L. Lot quicker and you ain’t gotta get out the truck..
You’re not in the dunes dip ish you don’t need a wider profile on your tire you have the same footprint on concrete. Go do some research
@ThatSweeperGuy oh I agree that is true but there is some debate if it has 4x4 but then again it's a vacuum hub ford so it's likely broken
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to see that comment
Bro he wasn't using his four wheel drive properly. Those things will go anywhere.
Not with an 8000# truck, and certainly not with a trailer. Even with chains very deep snow or mud will get you stuck.
That driver is in a world of Super Doody.
People don’t realize they need to have the motors running and being able to unhook it fast
Crappy ramp design, this seems to be the norm for Florida ramps.
The thing is that boat is too big for the truck and the ramp
They build them like that to discourage the yankees
@@christianmiracle6054 no chance it's too big for the truck. Not enough tongue weight and poor driving.
Lol it’s user error I pull a 35 donzi out of there often with the same truck. Nothing wrong with that boat ramp at all… other than idiots like you not knowing how to use your equipment
@ken terry
That's a big ass boat !
No, it is not!
In January of 07 I was on a trip to ten thousand islands with my 93 Ford 2wd and a 1986 barrette 4 cylinder inboard , with a alpha one outdrive ( yeah I was balsy with that inboard ) loaded up at 10:45 pm , spun the tires till a little after 2am , finally got it out ..the next day I bought a new 07 chevy 4x4 1/2 ton ...that boats many boats gone , but I still got that chevy truck ..
The real hero here is that hitch pin!
It's not so much about power, it's about weight. A lot people dont realize how important it is to have your boat balance on the trailer with larger boats.
I can attest! The new F250s with the 6.7PS have mountains of power, but not enough ass to plant it when pulling a heavy trailer in slippery or muddy conditions.
I've never thought of someone using the outboard. Smart
Gotta love Florida! 🤣. A completely different world
You are so right on that.
Just lock it in 4 Low..good to go
He needs a ford velociraptor v8 gen 2 f150 for the job
A lot of ramps in Australia have Ancor points at the top of the ramp. So if you have a winch you should never have any dramas getting out.
Time for new impellers in both those outboards.
In Tennessee we call them propellers! Impellers... Sheesh
@@tenncutt Why would you call the impeller a propeller? That’s a Tennessee thing? They call two different components the same thing?
@@tenncuttYep they're impellers that's why we call them props!
Should've got the F350
I don’t think a bigger truck gives you better skill or traction
To tow him or just in general?
@@Jacob__ryall And the 350 really isn't much of a bigger truck... 500 pounds or so. Just a stiffer suspension and a bit heavier frame.
@@WorBluxyeah, exactly. There’s very little difference these days. Used to be the one tons had a boxed frame and bigger coolers, etc., now they all have all that. literally the only difference is just stiffer spring package in the rear and usually a bigger rear diff if it’s a diesel model so the computer can give it full torque in first. Gassers are identical except the extra leaf spring for higher payload rating.
I like my dually.
The moment you find out why everyone was giggling when you said you didn’t need four wheel drive
they need to design some traction pads that come out during rainy days
Get a Big chain. Hook it SECURLY to the Hitch on both ends. Leave plenty of room and CAREFULLY pull the boat up with the truck up on "dry land". Block the tires on the trailer, then re-hitch directly.
No just no!!!!
@quackhead7492 Yes... absolutely !
Started doing it at Camp Grayling(Military Camp - Public launch) Grayling Michigan in 1970s.
1963 wooden "Holiday" model Chris Craft. Still have the boat. Wins awards for most original.
The launch was so shallow one needed to back the truck WAY to far out in the lake to get the boat to "float off the bunks".
Chauk the trailer wheels, un Hitch, hook 15-20 feet of chain to truck and trailer Hitch. Tighten the chain by moving the truck forward till snug.
Un Chauk the trailer and carefully let gravity pull the trailer back (maybe push a little) and reverse truck, until the boat floated off.
Do in reverse order upon extraction.
Works perfect and safe.... way safer than what you just saw.
What can go wrong? Seriously.
The trailer will follow the tight chain. Assuming you know HOW to hook up a chain.
@@experimentmagnet still nope
@@quackhead7492 🐔😄😉😊😊
@@experimentmagnet it's still a hard no
That's what 4L is for, my homie....
4 low requires traction. If you're sliding while stopped, you're gonna be fucked when you apply power
3/4 and 1 ton trucks always have their tires inflated to at-least 60psi all the way up to 80psi. A boat that size won’t compress the suspension or put enough weight down on the rear tires to prevent it from slipping. A half ton truck typically has tires inflated to 35-45psi that also have softer sidewalls which will drastically help with traction as the tire is “softer” and flexes which will grip a lot easier than a fully inflated 3/4 ton 60-80psi inflated tire. Even a dually truck would do this whether it’s a Ford, GM or Ram truck. Not that hard of a concept to comprehend.
Tire socks work magic here.
Put the truck in 4 low it would walk that boat right out of the water, 4 low is a crawler 4x4 and all 4 wheels work together without any limited slip like in 2 wheel or 4 high.
Try again justin
Yeah that's not how that works at all
@@repobud1 what do you know, you only have a half ton 🤭
@@repobud1 I pulled a loaded tanker tractor trailer with my 3/4 ton in 4 low on gravel, to pull start it because his starter went out.
@@just-incase3483 gravel is completely different than concrete and water. Probably could have pulled the loader in 2nd L
Pro tip, roll your windows down when you’re on the boat ramp. If your truck takes a shit you’ll be wet, not dead.
It takes a real man to get better tires 😊
It will blow peoples minds to just hold the brake and thottle at the same time
Air down tires for more traction.
Or just get a couple guys to stand in the bed
He is in a 4x4… 10ft ain’t gunna hurt it. Didn’t need to do all that…
False information son
@@GODSWORD11 You're just spewing garbage aren't you.
@@GODSWORD11it literally says Fx4 on the side of the truck.. it’s definitely a 4x4
@@7kzone you’re wrong
@@GODSWORD11 he’s not kid
Thats because the bed of the truck should be full of cynder blocks or firewood and it will pull it right out. The problem is he has more weight up front than the back. So therefore its gonna spin.
A gmc or Chevy would of pulled that boat right on out the first time.. 😂😂😂😂
Doubtful, I’ve seen them get stuck on wet grass, it’s not the truck it’s the surface, and someone not knowing to use 4L in this situation. Not sure why everyone says shit like this when the ford has twice the torque and hp as a gmc or Chevy, including the durajunk.
@@anything-goes6941 your obviously a ford guy 😂😂😂😂
SOME PEOPLE JUST SHOULDN'T OWN BOATS
Why? What did they do wrong goofball
The guy at the end BROOM BROOM😂

Its not a super duty issue… its an operator issue.
I would try to explain this to my wife all the time…. F350 powerstroke, if she was pulling the boat/trailer out she would stab the throttle out of fear of rolling into the water, and if it was in 2wd which i would always leave it in, she would just spin out and id have to gtfo out of the boat, go lock the hubs, tell her to turn the 4wd on and carry on…. But if i did it, 2wd slowly roll on the power and it would ease right out with no slipping…. Like I said its an operator issue (i could not teach her because she would not listen because any time i tried to teach it was demeaning… im being curt because im not joking around, not because im trying be demeaning. Rant over
I hear you my friend. I have the same issue. Not allowed to say a damn thing, if you do, your lecturing. Same on the farm. If it's my 💡 idea, it's wrong. If it's the other help, it's a good idea. Leaving them lay in their own shit sounds reasonable to me. There. Now I am over my rant 🙃. 😊
She sounds like an ex wife..😂😅❤
I have never had any trouble at all on boat ramps slipping, 9,000 lb truck in a 6,000 lb boat. Also if you power wash the ramp on low tide it helps a lot.
Saw a guy launching a huge pontoon on a steep ass ramp with a 2wd truck, the only reason he made it out is the boat slid off the trailer from how steep the ramp was.
The dude with the camera is gunna get his ass knocked out one of these days your already pissed off when shit is not going good add a Monday morning quarterback to the mix people start going to jail
Pssshhh if you're this bad at trailering a boat and are too proud to ask for help, expect to have some observers on a public boat launch.
Moral of the story; Don't buy a Ford
That looks like a excellent reason for a dually...
