  • BOAT PASSENGERS GET CRUSHED AT HAULOVER INLET !! | Boats at Haulover Inlet
    Rough day at Haulover Inlet for the passengers on the Cigarette 39 Top Gun. The captain hammered down through the inlet and sent the power boat airborne. Unfortunately he miss timed the jump and they ate a wave face first. All 3 passengers were down for several minutes with the front passenger never getting up again.

      @@MusicClassicalVideos Yeah, the Lekker, the Fire & Rescue boat and the Sealine at the end made it obvious that all the others are creating their own drama. Slow to dead slow, displacement mode, really no problem. Maybe keeping the speed up like everybody says is necessary for the pure planing hulls, idk, but it seems like a high risk approach. Even when they pull it off, seems pretty brutal on boat and passengers and a great reason not to take a planing hull into real waves.

      Here's a fact that might get some people a bit upset. But reality is that people who buy Cigs, AT's or Apaches have a tendency to think they are as good at driving their boats fast offshore as what the boat is theoretically capable of. If you have ever been at a powerboat meetup, those guys are the ones pointing their fingers at everyone else, talking about how their boats are the only real offshore powerboats. Sadly most of them have never received any performance driving training. They have learned by doing, and only some have actually gotten a good understanding of how to drive a boat fast in the rough stuff. You rarely see OL, Fountain, Mystic or similar owners in these situations. It is inevitably some clown in a Cig, AT or Apache who thinks their resin bucket can do anything at any time.

      Exactly - the Dutch know the sea and respect it much like the British and their RIB development (originally for the RNLI rescue craft) teaches the prime rule - safety first . It takes knowledge of the sea and years of maritime experience to know what you're doing. Except in America of course where you can just buy a bigger, more expensive boat and paint it a bright colour and be invincible. Many of these people are incredibly dumb....no PFD's and can't even control boats.

The one has a more pronounced vertical side but the wide beam and deep sea hull is strikingly similar.Went fishing with Dad & Uncle when I was about 10 years old setting off about 05:00 and going out to sea for what seemed ages.

      @@japan1001ify When I lived in the states, we did not. I only know of Alabama where an actual license is a must. Some states require you to do a 90 minute safety course, but that does not enable you to safely run a powerboat, and it does not teach you about the traffic laws of the water. You are basically shown a video and then fill out a multiple choice thing.
      But here in Denmark we have something very similar to what you have in Germany. They do obviously have the various classes of international requirements for captains of larger vessels etc.Piloting a boat over 15 meters requires you to have the same license as we do here in Europe for instance.

Nothing comes close. The owner has a custom made top, a 15ft long welded aluminum frame top with a dipped canvas sun cover lashed on. We put 40ft canoe hulls, ama's and equipment up there, and stow the rest of the gear under the deck, and escort the Molokai channel races. That boat is magic.
