It’s not that hard, just don’t drive faster then you’re willing to hit something!

Not to be a hater but in those conditions, no wake or wind, my 9 year old can dock that

We used to own a '58 Century with a V8, but was only half the length. Beautiful boat.

Definitely, especially with a nice antique wooden boat like that.

Nice. I’d hate to try that with side wind or running tide …

If he was really really skilled, he'd back it in.

Cool. Try backing into the firestation with your 2000 gallon water tender after a day of serving crews on a brush fire in the dark and you haven't slept in 36 hours! He made it look easy, like he does it every day all day! Just beautiful precision and skill!

No wind or current? There are 12 year olds in NC OBX that could do this.

It is easy on a nice windless day on a lake, try doing it in a marina in the firth of Clyde with a force 6 and a 4ft swell

Remembering the Buick Electra Dad had me put in the garage with the 8' door as 7 yr old . I didn't think it would ever fit through. Dad in front guiding me, gave me confidence enough to try . Beautiful video all around.
