Ok we have all seen funny stuff at a boat launching ramp.
I was in AR years ago and watch a guy pulling his boat out fully trimmed down. Sparks all the way up the ramp. We were all saying. STOP. He waved and said y’all had any luck today...

Just got back from fishing on White River and guide was telling us about a truck/trailer that went in river last year. Owner was in boat, had his friend get truck. He was running boat up on trailer, still had his motor down and friend pulled forward. Boat started coming off, then backed up truck with motor still down and damaged motor/prop. Then slid boat/trailer and truck into river https://fb.watch/4WOJJFWcbk/

Buddy and I had just finished up a day of fishing and had just loaded the boat up on the trailer. We were talking with another friend and this station wagon pulled up with a jet ski IN the back of the car. The guys in the station wagon got out, removed the straps keeping the ski in the car, tied a rope to the ski and the bumper of the car and backed up to the ramp. One guy stood by as the driver jumped in the car, pulled it forward about 100', then put it in reverse and stood on the gas pedal backing down to the water. Just as he got close to the water, he slammed on the brakes and the ski came flying out the car. The guy on the ramp untied the rope, the driver parked the car, and they both got on the ski and took off.

I almost lost a truck in a 1/2 ass ramp 25 years ago. Got it out, but everything in the bed floated out into the river. Too close.

I was fishing Logan Martin with a friend one afternoon launching at Riverside. I was inside paying for the launch and picking up a few items and he decided to go ahead and launch the aluminum boat himself. He forgot he had installed some slick strips on the trailer runners the trip before when he unhooked the crank strap and started down the concrete ramp. He also decided to hit the brakes as he started backing down and launched the boat onto the concrete at the top of the ramp. The ramp was at enough angle that the boat did make it to the water. He pulled into a parking spot like nothing had ever happened and we went fishing. Can't stop laughing while typing and recalling this story. He still hears about this on a regular basis.

I had an unscheduled bath a couple years ago. Once you know you're going, just concentrate on the landing. Did this once also. Had a new to me boat going out for the first time. Launch and tied up to pier. Rope was old and snapped in two, boat was blowing away from pier. Took a quick swim before boat got too far away.

Toyota Sequoia pulling a SeaRay 270 Sundancer w/ Twin 4.3’s (7500lbs dry and she had 100gal fuel and 40gal of fresh water in the tanks) on a short skinny gravel covered concrete ramp behind Old Lakeside Marina with a 90deg turn at the top of the ramp 40ft from the water’s edge. As soon as the rear of the trailer got on the downhill slope of the ramp the trailer started dragging the Sequoia sideways down the ramp at Mach7. Helluva ride. New boat, new truck, pregnant wife, 2 dogs. and forty-eleven witnesses. 1000 wonders that sequoia stopped before she hit the water. THEN I had to swim for the f’n Sea Ray because nobody was on it and I had already unhooked it from the trailer winch. I just wanted to line it up straight on the ramp so wife could back me in drama free....yeah right.

It’s fun to watch the looks I sometimes get when launching my boat with the Ulterra. I tap the brakes as the trailer gets down in the water and let the boat slide back usually past the dock ends before remotely deploying the trolling motor. I steer the boat away from the launch traffic, hit the spot lock and go park the truck all without leaving my seat in the cab. I think folks are sometimes disappointed when they don’t get to see me bailout to dive in and catch the boat drifting away. The Ulterra is the best thing in the world for solo boat launch.

I used to eat lunch at Howtons Camp. I ALWAYS got a window seat so I could watch the idiots launch. My favorite was a husband/wife duo. Husband got in boat and told wife to back it in....she had never backed a truck/boat before. He was screaming directions, and she was yelling back...in tears. Somebody finally went over and backed the truck for her. Pretty sure they got a divorce over it....
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I once watched a grown man unhook a trailer from his truck and push the boat and trailer in the water. He then rehooked the trailer to the boat and pulled the trailer out of the water. This was at Fishermans Resort just below Wheeler Dam. Backing a trailer ought to be a requirement before receiving a drivers license.

My parents had a 1973 Buick Riviera, that was doo doo brown. Dad had a trailer hitch installed and bought a bass boat. Dad had an uncle visiting and took him fishing. Uncle Tommy backed dad and the boat down the ramp and got too deep with the car and flooded the car. The car had electric windows and he could not get the windows down to get out. Dad said uncle Tommy was jumping around like a cat as the car filled with water. The car wound up about half submerged and uncle Tommy survived. I would of loved to have a video of the event. David

Ask FurFlyin about that! I may have my people mixed up, but someone I know did that and had the breaker flipped. One thing you can’t do with the remote is to power on the Ulterra. If you forget to turn it on during your prelaunch it could get a little embarrassing.

I don't know boat ramp funny's,,, but this kid is riding the trailer standing at the bow strap as dude backs the trailer into the water,,,, he was supposed to hook the strap crank it tight and ride the boat and trailer to the parking lot,,,
As the trailer hits a pot hole the kid slips as the trailer is backed into the water... when the dude pulls up as people are screaming at him to stop.. he's pulled up far enough and the kid is no where in sight... he became trapped under the trailer,,,, we just knew that kid was being crushed....
Praise the grace of God he was small enough to have gotten under the trailer , after a moment his head popped out from the under the back of the trailer shouting he was okay and actually had a smile on his face ,,, His dad thanked us for shouting loud enough to hear us as we all walked up to the parking lot,,, said he couldn't imagine what would have happened if he didn't hear us or just him and his boy alone there.
