About sobriety while docking, outboards, or the fact that there was no triple axle trailer involved?

Sobriety of course [emoji4] he may still be able to dock better than me w a good buzz but my skills have increased drastically. Sometimes I even impress myself.

Someday I will have the roadrunner / fox's "challenge."

I didn't see the end of it when I initially watched it! Didn't even realize it was about sober boating!! Lol!

I launched my 29 at Katherines all the time by myself. I had that shiznit down to a science

I launched one time next to three guys launching a jet ski. All three were wet up to their arm pits. I didn't touch water and had it in and the trailer out while they were still fuckin' around. I said to them "Damn, at least two of you should be dry....." They didn't like it too much....haha I always took pride in getting in/out quickly at the launch ramps....

Wife has been learning backing down. She REALLY wants to learn. And I like that she wants to participate, but I can do it much quicker with me doing it all. As long as she wants to continue to try, I will let her.

I would love wife to learn. Little brother has been trying and doing ok but he's not always with us. Mom and dad are usually w me but dad drinks to much and mom usually helps w the baby or watches he boat for me[emoji4] maybe this season I can get the wife to try

That would be awesome!! I honestly love docking boats, it's always a good challenge and it changes with the wind current etc. I think its fun.

This is docking a boat like a boss. Even if he does have thrusters, this is mad skills.

Understand that. Most of the time we have our pups with us, so Robin stays back with them when we are tied up. I back the truck down and they jump out of the boat and into their air conditioned world in the Crew Cab.

Just keep your patience while she trys... no punching or throwing rice bowls if shit goes funky

Chopperman · Dec 22, 2015

I've seen another video like that where a guy side ties his 40-50 footer with just a few feet fore and aft to spare, but with no bow or stern thrusters. It was very impressive. Just walked it in. The capt of a sportfisher I used to work on was pretty damn good as well, we didn't have thrusters either.

Lol! [emoji23] nothing but encouragement. I'm afraid if I lose my temper she'll never want to try again.

When I was teaching my ex gf how to back the trailer in I got some little walkie talkies. It helped immensely. That way you aren't yelling up the ramp like a fool.

That's what my friend and his wife do. It works very well.

I told my wife we aren't buying a boat if she wont learn to launch and retrieve it. She was good after 5-6 times doing it.

Long Range boat I fish on, 94', no thrusters. Skippers back it in after spinning it in it's own length never get close to the slip on either side.:thumbsup

Roadrunner is easy (even the inside with a boat bow tied off the end of the dock). Fox's is even easier, just backwards.

What are thrusters?

Go watch he video again. You will see prop wash on the side of the boat (up by bow and stern). Thrusters allow you to move to the sides without using forward or reverse on the engines.

Gotcha I was wondering how he "crab walked" it like that. I was thinking current but that makes more sense
