Two words.. Boat Rollers lol Glad you guys can laugh at yourselves. We have all been there done that at some time on the water. So while I sit here at the judging the inadequacies of our pommy mates, I secretly thank the universe that my own failings at boat ramps were never recorded :D
@zaq4267 Many thanks for your comments, just what I need today. This was 9 years ago, and only got to see it a couple of years ago. I'm 'the old man' and my racing mates helped take it, and took the vid. Well helped, hindered more like lol. If you fancy a read of my exploits, there is a link to my website on the homepage, and a link to boating. Thanks again, you've made my day.
@EroticCheesecake Looks like it doesn't it LOL. Chap who took the vid told me there was one there, and as it was only 4 miles or so from my mooring, and quiet seemed just the job. Thing is, it's been little used, and neglected for years. Ok for us to use with the tractor though. My friend now leases it, along with the bank and a mooring for his boat.. If you click the link to my website on the homepage, then boating, or photos, there's loads of us with boats out on there. Lovely spot.
Malc, I,ve got a mate from your neck of the woods and he's a funny fucker, there must be something in the water up there, I saw the second one first but this is even funnier, good work mate.
@ultrasonic101 Thanks - yes we do have our share of 'comedians' around here lol. This was 9 years ago, only got to see it a couple of years ago when had it transferred to DVD. Still see them occasionally, in fact saw both of them a couple of days ago. Graham still giggles the same. Had to split it into 3 parts. Link to my website is on my homepage, and you can read my boating tales if you like.
Trailer way to small for boat and you should not have disconnected trailer from van. You should of reverse it back into the water a little more. Anyhow you live and learn.
after watching these, i can just laugh every time i read the you tube comment "all you americans are bloody idiots, blimey blimey blimey" yeah ok. b/c you're not?
Normans are tough boats, built to take 70hp outboards. I know of one with a 6 cylinder Chrysler held on one side of the transom, with the outdrive bolted to the other.
Trouble was it wan't my van, plus having doors at the back we had to move the boat back on the trailer. It was made to tow with a car, or pickup, which I used to tow it the 100 odd miles home. Also my 'friend' drove too fast on rough roads.
Axle trailers of that type actually become part of the boat, and are very common with small speed boat types. Any larger and yes the trailer has to be larger than the boat.
trailer is way too small for that boat, and the way you have it strapped. wow. you wouldnt have made it too far on the road in Canada without being pulled over by the police.

That thing that looks like a sign is actually the tail of the devil. He drowned there trying to get his boat launched.

At 3:07 you can see the face of an African mask in the grass to the right of his leg. Maybe the ramp is possessed.

I see no motor and only about half of a trailer that needed to be backed up a bit more so the boat is in the water.

ur soposed to keep the trailer on the van and back it up in the water ... in nj the trailer must be covaring the entire boat ...

Trailer was actually the perfect size for that boat. I towed it home and it towed perfectly. I've told cars on trailers for 1000s of miles.
Trouble with the launch is I took my micky taking racing mates with me LOL.
