As a captain you gotta get your people to the back of the boat when waves like that are rolling around. When you’re in a smaller boat trim up and give it power but don’t get on plane keep the bow pointed at the sky
I'm looking to buy my first boat and I never knew that, it makes sense especially when you see the videos but these video examples are good to see a possibly life saving. I got really scared watching that first video because there were really close when the boat start "listing". I know those Boston Whalers are considered unsinkable but lives could have been lost if they had people fall out, and the girl had no life preserver on.
The word captain gets thrown around way too often. Just because you are driving a boat doesn't make you a captain. Real captains should be insulted to be lumped in with some of these dumbasses who haven't ever driven a boat more than 5 times. Just because you own/rent a boat doesn't mean that you are a legit captain.
Hi, i am not a captain, but here is my suggestion, it should become mandatory for all using the Haulover inlet to sit and watch 2 hours of these video’s befor being allowed to enter / exit the inlet , its just plain scary none of them wear bouancy aids
@@ChrisPBacon-ok7ir There should be a sign for those who don't know this is the right way to get through there. I want to buy a boat and I watch these videos but I wouldn't thought that and I could see myself making the same mistake but a simple sign would be the least you could do.
Amazing how dumb people are, Florida seems like its full of retards.... as soon as he turned around, he should have hammered down and got people to the back or at least off the bow......
@@ctom4932 Most of the whalers I grew up with to 17 ft had just a small well in the rear to access the plug to pull to let water out I used to do that when it rained to not have to bail it in a big rain.
if you look closely it's actually a smaller version of the boston whaler here, not the one that red top legend rides. it's insanity to bring this engine powered bath tub out by a person who has no idea where he is.
I wonder if he went for the up-sized bilge pump as an option, or whether he cheaped out! 1200 gallons an hour sounds Huuuuuge until you need it ... and that guy needs it!
I guess I have new appreciation for the red top! It really showcases how important technique truly is! That boat is plenty capable. Good thing he turned around.
Best entry of the day was the USCG. It makes me happy at least they know what they are doing. Right vessel for the conditions and they knew how to operate it.
I was thinking the same thing. Did the boat make most of the difference or the person operating it? Because at first I literally thought it was a joke because of how smooth and easy they went through.
Our society is overwhelmed with tragic situations that could’ve been prevented by a little thoughtfulness, consideration, courtesy, patience, discipline, selflessness, and integrity, but these are the things too many people refuse to teach or model for their kids. There is no bank of “cool points” you store up for not putting life jackets on your kids and pets.
If had been going fast enough to get the boat up on plain he could have avoided this situation. I used to own one of these smaller whalers and can tell you they are a pretty stable platform. They are also self bailing so even if you do take on water all you need to do is get it up on plane and pull the drain plug. He also should not have had anyone in the bow.
I love your channel. I have a question. I Googled Haulover Inlet and it explains why it’s so challenging. That being said how many of the boaters that you feature know ahead of time how dangerous it can actually be? Thx
I don't know if those smaller boats have any type of bilge or sump pumps, but having a passenger and dogs riding up in the bow, especially when traveling at slower speeds, is a good way to take a good amount of water into the boat when you stuff the bow. But it didn't sink, so that's a plus. As far as listing, just move passengers to the other side to counter-balance the degree of tilt.
Curved down open bow dumbest design ever. Single motor on ocean dumb idea as well. You can definitely see the difference between a seasoned captain and a noob.
These waves in this inlet remind me of what Lake Erie is like in rough seas. You get 4+ footers with not that big of a gap in between them. Probably a little more space than what you see here, but not much.
2:20 I think she's saying some about him not getting a pet cat in the future ... or something. He did the equivalent of dropping her 4-5 ft onto hard ground with no warning. He's gonna pay big time.
1st Whaler - what did he do right lol? Two dogs, passenger in the bow, too slow and near the rocks. Child does seem to have a life jacket on TG.....Good commercial for Boston Whaler!
He really did at least need some engine trip to keep the nose up. That's a LOW bow to be riding in the front of into waves like those. They were lucky it wasn't worse
In Arizona, we have a "Stupid Motorist Law". If it's storming and you drive into a water crossing and get into trouble, they'll come rescue you, but you get to pay for ALL of the response. Looks like we need something similar for boaters, at the LEAST during Small Craft Advisories or KNOWN rough water conditions.
That is an outdoor engine with a low bow. He need to maintain that bow high up. One get the trim the engine up so it push down the boat stern. Two sit the lady on the stern area so the boat weight is shift to the back. Three use that engine accelerate to kee the bow up. The blue legend Boston whaler Handel that better.
Full disclosure: I do not know much about boats, so I could be wrong, BUT a lot of the boats I see taking waves over the bow look like they belong in a lake and not the ocean.
I know enough about boats to know that you are absolutely right. With all the lakes and waterways in Florida that would be more suitable for smaller boats, some idiots chose to put their family and pets in danger.
Can’t sink that little Whaler. Even if you cut it in half. He picked one of the safest boats on the market and because of that, got home safe at the end of the day.
In the 1960s and 1970s Boston Whalers had very low sides, but were unsinkable because of the buoyancy of their thick "sandwhich" layered hull. See the older Boston Whaler boat a few minutes later in this video. This new design with a downward bow is like a submarine.
Don't even own a boat but common sense tells me life preservers are a must. Especially when you have kids in the bow of a small boat that can take on water so easily or toss them around like rag dolls in to the ocean.
I'm not a big fan of government involvement, but there should be BIG FLASHY signs on the shore telling people to get off the bow in anything less than 60' 🤷
The whaler is unsinkable. This does not mean that it can’t be swamped or capsized! Should have trimmed up, pulled plug, and planed the boat enough or at the very least gun it once or twice so that water washed out over the transom (or maybe his crew could have helped bail while moving to the back in the process?!?!?). It’s not that the little boat isn’t seaworthy, it’s the people in it who arnt. I will also say, the design of modern whalers is nothing compared to the older models. This is coming from someone who has a classic 13, classic montauk, and classic outrage all in the family 😊
Only the lucky 🍀 fact that this “captain” was wise enough to buy an “unsinkable” foam filled Whaler hull saved them. His naïveté in driving a boat 🚤 in serious conditions demonstrated the training need.
That Whaler could go through that inlet better than most boats three times the size. All that guy had to do was trim up, speed up and pull the plug that's right behind him.
List the things Dad did wrong here? 😳
Guy slowed down. Guy should have kept the throttle open on the way out. No life jackets.
Really ? Dad, should never be driving a boat , people in bow , way to slow , no pdf on him or his guest ,
Left the dock.
Pfd!😂🤣
Bought a boat

NOT a captain, but exactly what I was thinking. Seems like the proper procedure.
100 percent correct.
Dude in the Whaler is like "I'm going to test this unsinkable legend claim"
That's what I was thinking. Then I thought just cuz it won't sink doesn't mean it can't capsize.
My exact thought...... lmmfao. Ok it won't sink, those kids could though.
@@anchorsaway1062 is that really true? Will they really not sink or is that just a old saying about that brand? Or are they really made not to sink?
@@tracyaynes5230 they're foam from what remember. They can be cut in half and still float. That's the original slogan

The scarier part is letting people ride in the bow.
Wouldn't make a difference
Everyone has the “it will never happen to me” attitude until it does.
Seems like the people that have the most problems like this are going really slow
@@ChrisPBacon-ok7ir There should be a sign for those who don't know this is the right way to get through there. I want to buy a boat and I watch these videos but I wouldn't thought that and I could see myself making the same mistake but a simple sign would be the least you could do.
Unsinkable legend in the hands of the clueless.

@@bobbertee5945 I’ve often heard of it referred to as “Flori-duuuuuuh”...
He was testing just how unsinkable they are. It passed.
Many like that end up dead.
He should take lessons from the Blue Top double-flag legend!
shitty whaler need classic like the blue top
I love how the boat is taking on water;and that female doesn’t move a muscle.
typical woman
@@s0nnyburnett how quickly you overlook the gender of the one who threatened their lives 😂
@@JK-vz8oy ikr
She is taking care of the dogs... That is way more important.
She's probably terrified thinking she's about to die.
Owning a Whaler doesn't automatically make you a pro, I guess.
0:18 the moment he turns his boat into a bathtub
it's a Boston whaler pull the plug and let it drain itself out while you can still move.
The plug is in the bilge.
Whalers and most other fishing boats have deck drains, using scuppers to keep water out.
@@ctom4932 Most of the whalers I grew up with to 17 ft had just a small well in the rear to access the plug to pull to let water out I used to do that when it rained to not have to bail it in a big rain.
14.5 ft boat, 3 passengers, two dogs and a kid? what could go wrong?
2 kids.
Ah come on....dogs needed to get out and see the world....what's with people?
@@kenkayiii unfortunately they can’t pick their captain
1:55 The woman screaming is from Argentina..Her Spanish accent is unmistakable😂
Those Boston Whalers are the most incredible small boats I’ve seen on these videos 👍🏼👍🏼
This proves that the “red top legend” is indeed a legend

I see him on like every one of these videos lol
Well one thing he did right was get a whaler
Always a good choice. 👍
I wonder if he went for the up-sized bilge pump as an option, or whether he cheaped out! 1200 gallons an hour sounds Huuuuuge until you need it ... and that guy needs it!
@@drteknical6571 Dude, he didn't even have a bucket, so his family could start bailing.
The Whaler at the end didn't do much better, even though it was a lot longer.
@@Gatorwatch916 any experienced captain would know a 27 foot dauntless could crush those waves
6:54 that Fountain getting it done. 😁
Don't think the bilge pumps can keep up with that dooshing.
There are no bilge pumps on that boat.
No B.P.'s, just a drain plug.
Pull the plug self draining on small Whaler. Since everyone on the bow even easier.
@@philiph5102 that’s what I love about them. I have one and have swamped it and all you have to do is get on a plane and it will drain
The vintage Outrage Whaler is a beauty!

@@JCreole That too 👍
Bow riders unite! At the bottom.
at least get the passengers in the back during an inlet transit when driving a "scoop".

Was that Lt Dan riding on top of the Seavee?
That first Whaler needs lessons from Red Top Guy! I don't think I've seen him stuff the bow!
The sea v with the tuna tower is a rookie😪😪😪
Agreed. Usually the Sea Vee's go through with ease. That Captain looked too hesitant.
That Boston Whaler is virtually unsinkable. Saved the novice captain’s family for sure.
We have the red top legend and now the black top failure.
That old Hatteras with the yellow hull is the nicest
...and not a life vest in sight... great thinking, dad...
Seriously... 😂
The day that an "unsinkable" boat almost sank!🚤
It would not sink but they will capsize and flip and he came very close.
Only in US - boat sinking, fate unknown. Wait forget them, we got a woman rope dancing. lol
Hell yeah! 🤙
Who needs Disney World when you have Haulover Inlet lol
I like the dog in the little Boston whaler at the beginning: "Why am I in here with that two legged idiot driving?"
That Sportsman & crew at 2:53 handled those waves like champs.
It’s really easy to conquer these waves……get a big big boat 😂😂😂😂
The SeaVee did fine but I would never ride this waves sitting at the top of the tower!!!!!
I don't know if those smaller boats have any type of bilge or sump pumps, but having a passenger and dogs riding up in the bow, especially when traveling at slower speeds, is a good way to take a good amount of water into the boat when you stuff the bow.

El Teniente Dan. Jajajajaja🤣🤣
Love how smooth the coast guard made it look 👌
Curved down open bow dumbest design ever. Single motor on ocean dumb idea as well. You can definitely see the difference between a seasoned captain and a noob.
Even the poor dog knew it was a bad situation did you see his face?😢
Don’t want to injure your spine? Stand up or don’t go boating here when outgoing tide runs into onshore winds.
These waves in this inlet remind me of what Lake Erie is like in rough seas. You get 4+ footers with not that big of a gap in between them. Probably a little more space than what you see here, but not much.
I’ve seen it in cleveland area
Bought a boat. But really, no life jackets to start with.
An "unsinkable" boston whaler will still fill up with water, short out the electronics, and get flipped over by a breaking wave.
Favorite yacht? Mine: Nordhavn N64 with twin 6V92's
You got my boat!!! Wahoooo. 22 Whaler

I think she's saying some about him not getting a pet cat in the future ... or something.
He did the equivalent of dropping her 4-5 ft onto hard ground with no warning. He's gonna pay big time.
Like not getting pussy? Both of their fault, him for not controlling his woman and keeping her off the bow, her fault for not paying attention.
That Nortech was the same guy who got his kids soaked and the mom came back and yelled at him 😃
Is that really him? 😂
He got his man card pulled !!😂🤣😂
link to the video please.
The skipper in the Monterey sure was getting an earful.
@ 1:25 four years of stripper school finally comes in handy.
Does anyone use their trim tabs anymore ? 🤣🤣🤣
What did the captain do wrong? Buy that boat
Even though almost going down the woman in the first boat was smiling and having a good time... Impressively calm I'd say =D
1st mistake - he thinks he is a captain - but he seems comfortable behind the wheel while his family is getting doused and bounced. “DIP STICK”
I think you meant dip shit

Having a boat doesn’t make you a captain, dude
I would say the majority are somewhat boat drivers.
Don't call me dude, bro. ;)
I am shocked how many boaters don’t know how to come out or in an inlet
And the amount of people who donct even say a thing to passengers in the bow as the boat starts taking wave after wave. Gtf in back!
Whats with the aversion to putting pfd's on the kids at least
0:13 she tells him that they need to turn around. 0:18 you can hear her yell "Mark! Right now!"

Boston whaler : we will gonna need bigger boat
# 1 He got up this morning!!
The part I do not understand is why people would take a 10 foot boat into 15 foot seas?
It’s a 15’ boat
Those Boston Whalers have a drooping bow that seem to be designed to pickup water. That design always struggles at the inlet.
LA COLUMNA!!!🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
You gotta be kiddin me..........
it's weird, most the boats I see in Washington are inboard engines while they seem to mostly be outboard engines down there in Florida
Can’t sink that little Whaler. Even if you cut it in half. He picked one of the safest boats on the market and because of that, got home safe at the end of the day.
And he got a ton of free salty water as a bonus.
Need to trim the engine to lift front of boat some of them are trim down max front of bow inches from water lol no experience

That last boat has 600 hp. How about he trims his engine and uses some of it? Nah I’ll just cut it and bob in the swells
its full power or nothing.
How Boston Whalers ever got a licence to build boats is astonishing.
These are spoon boats, I say. They are the best way to drink all the water in the ocean. A medal for the designer. And another one for the buyer.
I was looking for a video of the axopar 22 in rough sea and this video appears 🤩
I'm not a big fan of government involvement, but there should be BIG FLASHY signs on the shore telling people to get off the bow in anything less than 60' 🤷
The whaler is unsinkable. This does not mean that it can’t be swamped or capsized! Should have trimmed up, pulled plug, and planed the boat enough or at the very least gun it once or twice so that water washed out over the transom (or maybe his crew could have helped bail while moving to the back in the process?!?!?). It’s not that the little boat isn’t seaworthy, it’s the people in it who arnt. I will also say, the design of modern whalers is nothing compared to the older models.

They are classics, check out the blue top Legend flying around in many videos.
They were never sinking, you can’t sink an unsinkable boat. He should have made the bow passenger move to the stern.
Oh well that’s a Sea Ray Boston whaler!
No shortage of half-wits in this episode.
What he did wrong was NOT tilting the outboard up enough for the nose to stay above as possible of the waves.
