Anyone watch the Chit Show on YouTube of bots docking and hitting the docks? Here’s a Yamaha that made a nice ding in it todsy

I watch this channel all the time and I can’t figure out why people come into the dock so unprepared with ropes and a game plan. If you watch till the end he zooms in on the damage of the boat.

Just saw that one tonight.

That will buff out.... NOT!

That's bummer, like the first parking lot door ding on a new car.

 

[ShlepRock]

Haha just saw that one too.. OMG what was he thinking?

I am not the greatest by any means, but the best advise that I live by is goes as slow as your willing to hit something. I've hit things, but never anything more than scuff because I always make sure I am going as slow as possible.

Yeah, that one was bad. Lesson learned all around:
Scenario 1: A little too much booze. Point proven on how that is a bad idea.
Scenario 2: Newbie Captain. Slow done, take your time, learn your boat.

Been watching these in the morning now cause I can’t stand the news, it’s crazy how many shitty boaters there are out there.?

Personally I think the guy filming this is an A$$hole

You should watch the past week or so. He filmed the recovery of a sunken boat with twin 300s. Then worked with a mechanic to salvage the engines to the surprise of the owner. He's not all bad

I personally find these videos entertaining (and a bit enlightening). I get why some people wouldn't like it being filmed. Nothing worse than commentary on an already stressful situation. But there is obviously a market for it on YouTube, mostly likely all boaters, whom have all been there before.

Yeah, I stopped watching because I'm not a fan of the dude. I much prefer our boy bronco's guru on the Miami Boat Ramps channel.

Haulover Boats channel is a decent one also.

Yeah making fun of and laughing at people while posting images of them online w/o their permission is not my style.

They are at a public boat launch, no permission needed to post online, legally speaking. Miami Boat Ramps is a much better channel, but they too take jabs.

I watch all of those channels. LOL!I like Alfred's energy. The sunk boat, and him helping get it back up and running was cool.

Don't follow QualifiedCaptain then.
