Boating Basics; How to Launch and Retrieve Your Boat [Inboard Boat]

Some of the boating basics like launching and retrieving your boat can be very daunting as a new boat owner. In this video, I walk you through prepping your boat to be launched, launching your boat, docking your boat, driving your boat, and finally, getting the boat back on the trailer (known as retrieving your boat or trailering your boat). I want to help you learn boating basics to help you enjoy your time on the water!! Your time spent around the dock is just a small part of your day, but it can be one of the most stressful. With these boating basics, it should increase your confidence in your boat driving skills.

    There are a number of videos out there discussing docking wake boats, but with your camera angles such as watching from a drone with an in picture video of what you are doing with the controls, I have found yours to be the most helpful. I also love details you provide without making the videos excessively long. I have searched quite a bit and have never found a video discussing how to approach complicated tasks such as docking when dealing with wind/current. I would love to see a video about how you approach various environments when the wind/current doesn’t allow for you to do the textbook technique. An example I am currently struggling with is going down a relatively narrow channel and then having to turn 90 degrees starboard when the wind hitting you directly from starboard to port. The boat just doesn’t want to turn very well in the room I have available. I have considered making a 270 degree turn (turning to port initially) so that I can use the prop wash in reverse to help get the boat around in the tight channel. I would love to see a video dealing with these sorts of problems.

    Thanks for the input. I appreciate your feedback. I can’t promise anything, but I’ll see what I can do. One problem I fall into is trying to film in bad weather. It becomes difficult to get done shots in excessive wind, etc. Have a great day.

    Great video! One memory I have I’ll never forget was picking up my buddys boat at end of day at lake havasu. There was literally a huge crowd watching everyone cheering and booing the boaters retrieving their boats. And of course I got the lane against a wall in the dark. We nailed it he drove on smoothly and I backed trailer down steep ramp. (There was like 8 lanes) but man launching and retrieving was stressful as a rookie back then! Lol.

    Great video! One note to check your local laws and ramp rules about power loading. In some states (like NH), it's illegal at most public ramps also can just be risky if you have a gravel or rock ramp

    Hey - Thanks for commenting. The orange guide is called a boat buddy latch. They are an option on Mastercraft boat trailers. Pretty slick, you can drive the boat up on the trailer and the latch will click into place when you are in the proper place on the trailer. Here is an Amazon affiliate link (see disclosure in my video description) for a similar latch system: amzn.to/3BmXyen

    Slow is def smooth, even to this day I have hard time to load a boat because I think I can do it fast but then it suddenly steers in wrong direction;) Curious to see how this boat wake compares to my boat, I am still accustomed to Super Sport Nautique. Would be good if you can review other boat wakes that you ride. I think there are a lot of people in used inboard market.

My boat is actually and older Nautique. The prop spins the opposite way, so many of the driving techniques are opposite, I needed a different boat to make this video and they were kind enough to lend me theirs.
