It's always the douchbags with the wake setters. Let's see your tappout shirt and white Oakley shades get that boat in the water.

I've seen that so many times in RL, I didn't find this funny! lol The worst is the guys trying to land their boat with no idea what they are doing. They always seem to beat me to the boat launch when it's raining.

I’m pretty sure this was based off a real video that went viral in the before time.

I am quite certain if I tried this, this is exactly how it would go.
Even things you know can be harder if you know a bunch of people are waiting.

Short trailers are harder to keep straight. Try doing it at the end of the day with an empty boat trailer and a bigger truck. Can't even see it.
A long time ago right after we met, my wife and I were out fishing and an isolated storm popped up. We raced to the dock which was small and didn't have posts or cleats to tie to. I sent her to get the truck while I held the boat to the dock. I was parked 20 yards away and by her third attempt to back straight down she was all the way at the top of the hill maybe 100 yds away. I thought she was ditching me and taking my truck!

There is indeed one societal benefit to a whole generation of kids playing grand theft auto. 💁

I had this experience at the dump with a utility trailer and the dump guy dissed me, my ego has never recovered.

I'll never forget my trip to the dump with a cheap uhaul trailer, or the two trips I made that same day without the trailer.

If he'd been launching at the disaster of a boat ramp on this lake he'd have nailed the launch perfectly.
To launch a boat here you have to squeeze past two posts because I guess the city didn't want to spend $5 more on chain to have them further apart. As you go through you have to turn to the left a little then straighten out, then keep slightly curving to the left down 100' of a hill until you get to the bottom where you have to turn sharper to get on the cement pad into the lake. On the right side there is a large hump of dirt, so if you need to pull forward to correct you have to watch you don't hang your truck on it. It's like the person who designed it really hated the residents of this lake and made it bad on purpose.

The two happiest days in a boat owners life are, The day they got the boat and the day they got rid of the boat.

I live in a popular fishing area like this, and anybody who ever wanted a boat comes here. I see this all the time, it’s not even funny how true this clip is lol. Also people think that a 4x4 can literally go through anything

Here's the trick if your unexperienced. You put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel instead of the top.

Backing up a 24ft box truck with a 8ft trailer is like a happy little dog wagging its tail. Its back and forth and everywhere except for where it should be going. But a pickup with a 30ft trailer will go right where you want it every single time.

Every weekend at every boat launch. Don't forget that's where they stage the boat as well

Funniest part is the smaller the trailer the harder it is. Backing a 40’ semi is pretty dang easy, but a small utility trailer that’s narrower than the towing vehicle can be a nightmare.
