Watching this channel made me aware of the drain plug before I bought my boat, not to mention other boating courtesy’s!

So, my boat is a 38' sailboat with a 6' draft, so very different; but, I just never go out until I've checked the winds and the tides. It seems to me, watching these over and over that no one in these videos has a clue as to where that information can be found, or how to interpret it. And, of course, docking in my boat is ALL about slow approaches and dock line management. I think that's why I find these videos so mesmerizing. I just can't stop watching. Oh, and "dumbfounding" is exactly the right word.

As a 27 foot sailboat owner I agree completely, plus you'll note the complete lack of fenders

Good one, Jax 👍! I figured they could just launch and drill a few holes in the bottom of the boat to let all that water out.................what?! No good?

Quite a few years ago a colleague asked me to help launch his new boat, a 15" speed boat. We slipped it & as he was parking the car & trailer the boat was settling in the water as I held the bow rope. When he returned I asked if he had put the bung in "What's a bung?" he replied. "Get the trailer, get the trailer!!" There was no bung & we spent all morning searching for an open boat yard on Sunday. We did & got it launched. The 90hp Mercury made that little boat scream along, frightened the crap out of him & he sold it.

I can see why he got rid of that way over powered 15 inch (' foot not " inch) speed boat with a 90 horse Mercury! 😅

@@fastwin493 😃, got me. Even at 15 feet it nearly sank itself. The motor was so heavy that the transom was barely above the water. I think that I had it sitting on the prop when I got it wound up. He was very white. 🤑

@ericyeoman2687 yes. That motor was a very LIGHT WEIGHT Evinrude E-tec 2 stroke. If it had been one of the other 4 stroke motors... it would be significantly heavier! By the way, E-tec's can be completely submerged & recovered without ANY significant internal harm compared to all other HEAVIER / more mechanically complex 4 strokes. The Navy Seals used E-tec's specifically for that reason! A video showing them submerging their whole boat & engine was made for demonstrating that particular inherent design capability. Their motor was not any different than an average consumer product. It was not specially modified in any way... as far as that capability is concerned. Too bad BRP RUINED Evinrude /Johnson brands like OMC did, just before... THEY... went bankrupt! Now again out of business because of BRP's blunderous mismanagement & very scant marketing with little public re-education about their re-engineered / re-designed high-tech 2 stroke. Which equaled & out performed all other 4 strokes... pound for pound and horsepower for horsepower! Too bad! 🤨

Water keeps coming out of this hole at the bottom but how's it getting in the boat in the first place?? Oofah, that was hard to watch.

Einstein once said, genius has it's limits but stupidity has none. These guys should not even be boating.

I forgot the drain plug, but I realized it right away. Before I had a bilge pump , I would take it out while on a plane and it would drain..

It's a lineup of the moon, the earth and the sun. It only happens twice a year, once in late Spring and the big one is thee end of October. It all has to do with tides.

Videos are to short. Need about 10 more minutes per episode

I don’t get the anything about this situation. First, I could see on my iPad where the drain plug should have been. But… I would be shocked if asking ANYONE nearby wouldn’t have acquired the answer to water in their boat. If random stranger has no clue, they will ask someone who would likely know.

I just bought this boat, and it was built wrong, because it has a hole in the back. Who designed this stupid boat. Should I take it back to the dealer? I am confused.

You guys need a megaphone

There’s a round hole in the back. The boat takes on water and it comes back out of the same hole. What to doooo?

What happened to Wavy Boats? I notice you don't mention him anymore. Enjoy our channel and comments.

At 5:45 It's the blind leading the blind. The boat ramp is not the place to learn how to back up a trailer or launch a boat!

maybe not a place to learn how to back a trailer but absolutely a place to learn how to launch your boat. where else are you suggesting to do so?

Quite a few of these folks would fail in a CDL testing....LOL....Note to Newb's: Go to a near empty parking lot to practice backing between the lines before going to the Launch just to appear like a Monkey trying to do a Football....IMHO

This is not a King tide, that only happens twice a year. This is a flood tide. Please do some research before you call this a King Tide. Captain Keith Tight lines

I'm not ready to admit that anyone is too dumb to understand why water is coming thru a hole in the boat...but them looking at it underwater with a mask is just bizarre! Please tell me there was another crack or issue they were trying to find...

When you get your boating license and your boat, you’ll better understand what they’re trying to do. Americans don't know how to drive cars, so there’s no reason to think that would change on the water. When they come to Europe, they're panicked at the idea of parallel parking or driving in a city where not every intersection ends with a stop sign. I love Americans and I love America, but remember that the more driving aids you have, the less you’ll know how to drive. Your videos are very amusing. Sometimes you talk too fast. LOL. hugs from Belgium ^^

That is a pretty blanket statement. I am an American and I take offense to that. Would love to see you on our roads. BTW for my driving test I had to parallel park a semi. I have been to 23 different countries and I do not see any of them driving any better than others. I am wondering where you experienced American drivers. Considering I drive on a daily basis farther than your whole puny country is big, you have no room to talk.

For someone who “loves Americans” you sure are insulting and derisive. I think you love our money. As for driving, during my year and a half in Germany my friends and I were constantly amazed at how flippant many drivers seemed given how much harder it was to get a license. But here is a lesson you should hear: America is larger than the entire EU. Most of our states are larger than your country. And just as there are variations in Europe, there are in America.
