Default Boat ramp videos

I don't believe I've ever seen one this bad.

Cool

I don't understand. How could they be so fricking stupid? I know it's easy to be an armchair quarterback, but come on folks!!! It doesn't take a genius to prep beforehand so what we watched never happens. Prep (attach) 2 lines. One to the bow and one to the stern. Mate jumps onto the dock with the two lines. Capt shifts to neutral. Mate pulls boat into dock and then walks boat along dock to loading area. Capt cuts engine, gets off boat and gets trailer (I'm afraid to see him back up after watching him dock) Attaches bow to winch line and pulls boat up onto trailer. Really, how complicated is that? Some people shouldn't be allowed to have boats unless they can first prove they can think.

Yep! Love to watch these videos. You're right, some people just don't have a clue how to dock a boat in the wind. Funny!
