  That happened to me and my father at Alsdorf Park in pompano Beach Florida when I was a little kid. The solution is to take the winch cable from the trailer and loop it under the back end of the trailer and connect it up to the eye of the boat. Make sure the boat is tied off securely to the dock so it can't move. Then start tightening up the cable with the winch. As the cable gets tighter it will lift up the trailer enough to clear the edge and the wheels get back onto the ramp. Been there done that!

  He may not remember other launches he does but he'll definitely look back and remember this one for sure.. Making memories, good and bad

  Run the trailer winch strap down and under a cross beam and up to the D-loop, then start cranking it up.

  There is nothing worse than fucking up at a boat ramp and  having people holler at you with their idea on how to remedy the problem instead of helping! Then to make it worse they record it and post it on YouTube! Glad you were there Big Dan!

  When i launch I dont worry about other boaters and start rushing myself. I take my time and I do it safe. When you rush accidents or something bad could happen. I am the same way with my rv. I also tell other boaters and rv’ers to take their time and not to rush because of me. We all have expensive equipment and safety is always first. We all need to be patient with one another. Take your time and complete your task safely everyone. Don’t make people feel like they need to rush because you’re in a hurry and dont let people make you feel that you need to rush. They’ll get over it.

  He's a better guy than me, I woulda cussed everyone out, dropped it in 4wd low and pulled the axle out. Nice job keeping cool and getting it out!

  Big Dan needs to hire himself out on a per hour basis on these boat ramps.

  Rotator is what the big semi tow truck is called with Crane on it.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awvj13QeVmY&amp;t=797">13:17</a> the guy in the water is a rockstar. I’d be throwing stuff, swearing, cussing, etc… he’s being chill with such a high stress situation for sure.

  One of my 3 fears at the boat launch. <br>#1 full send vehicle and all in the water.<br>#2 boat slides off trailer mid launch.<br>#3 trailer drops of the edge of the ramp.
