Anybody watched the Miami Boat Ramp channel?

Words fail me, the dumbfuckery is outstanding!

If you're bored its worth a look.

I watch it every day, it's hilarious. As you say, total dumf**kery. Lifejackets, what are they? Also, if Mrs FZ wanted to go out on the boat wearing a thong I'd divorce her.
I do think it's educational though because you can learn a lot by watching how NOT to do something.

I cringe when I see £200k boats being ploughed in to a pier with no f**ks given.

if it wasn't so scary it would be funny

Other ones to check out by the same guy, Bronco's Guru, are 'boneheaded boaters of the week', 'boating news of the week', and 'boats vs haulover'. Funnily enough the're based in Florida where a certain ex-president of the US lives!

Yeah, those Cigarettes with 5x Mercury 450 Racings on the back are awesome. Shame they can't afford LJ's

If you were boating in 27 degree water you wouldn’t bother with a life jacket either. No one wears them in the med.

LJ'S are not difficult to wear. 27 degrees water doesn't stop you becoming unconscious when you hit the water at 50 kts

with the lack of brains some of the people in these videos must struggle to stay conscious on a day to day basis.

'He's got the Boynton wobble'. Classic stuff.

You wouldn't get away with this at a Cal Mac ferry terminal. You get one shot to reverse between two 50' refrigerated arctics, with their drivers watching your every move. No pressure.

Watch those channels all the time. As well as Haulover Inlet. Something I learnt from Guru. He was watching someone pull their boat off sand by pulling on the stern. He said, "it's better to pull the bow around."

I beach my boat often and have difficulty getting it off the beach afterwards.
Then I remembered the Guru and pulled the bow around instead, came off the beach easy.

What happens on those videos I have never seen at our boat ramps, although I don't hang around long enough to know if there was I suppose.
