Dude you are doing it way to slow. un hook it from the bow, get in, lower the transom, get in the water and start it up then just back it off and the trailer is going up to park and the next 10 people in line can have their turn
@sexycummins I agree with one add-on.. once in the water start it up add back off way you got control just in case thw boat does’nt start. almost happened to me where i drifted into another boat before it started
cool video… thanks for sharing…
I also use the DIGINAV system as a backup chartplotter…
There oughta be bleachers and they could charge admission at every public boat ramp. I’d pay good money to watch the comedy that goes on at boat ramps.
@Justin881000 some lakes aren’t deep enough so you have to back you vehicle in. not a problem in fresh water lakes though
hello?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? as long as ur car is running when the exhaust is submerged water will not go iinto the exhaust and turn off the car
Lol, this is the worst shit I’ve ever seen. First off unhook everything.The guy with the ropes should be in the boat. Back the thing down in the water hit the brakes and the boat will float off. Start the boat, float it around till the person parking the trailer gets back down there, pull up and pick them up. Now you just kept from pissing everyone off waiting on you. Now go do 12oz curls all day;)
My 25 foot cobalt has to go wat deeper in the water
@showmehowvideos -i don’t know about everything else you said but i am pretty sure your trailer would drop off the ramp before your truck does.
why dont u just hop in the boatt and when ur in deep enough he can tap the brakes you will slide in to the water start the motor and drive around till he comes back from parking the car
@showmehowvideos Has this ever actually happened? Mythbusters tried shoving everything
from potatoes to bananas in a car tailpipe, and the car still started. It just blew the potato out.
ta loco nao é mais facil colocar um dentro do barco e dar a ré do que fazer essa besteira toda ta loucooo isso que é pais de 1 mundo aqui no 3 mundo estamos na frente no quisito sabedoria em navegacao
great video, but sorry I’ve yet to see a launch where the vehicle doesn’t at least touch the water a little bit.lol dont think its gonna hurt it too bad
would not want to behind this guy at the ramp
You suck man you drive the boat off and don’t take so long, your the reason everyone is waiting please don’t ever don’t this again
I am a cool and easygoing woman naneedj.info

budget in irokee25@yahoo.es
@showmehowvideos not true my family has a 40′ rinker and that gets launched by the marina. our waverunner we launch like a boat tire little bit in water but since my grandparents dock got demolished in a storm only the waverunner is in the water. but he put the tire in the water and easily got out
@showmehowvideos ya i saw a 2wd truck almost get stuck without the boat on the trailer last weekend, but then the ramp had almost no incline so he had to pull into the water which happened to be mud not pavement.
R u gay
I BEEN LANCHING BOATS SINCE I WAS 13 AND MY LARGEST LANCH WAS 40 FOOT BOAT JUST LIKE IN THIS VIDEO AND RETRIVING TOO
How light is the boat? must be pretty light if that useless GM could trailer it!
no need to worry about getting ur back tires wet ur truck is a 4wheel drive, I’ve seen a 4wheel drive Nissan Xterra tow a 28foot 8,000pound Mako from his house to the ramp and then he pulled it out and guess what? his back wheels were in the water.. Not trying to sound like a Jackass tho
