The lady skippering the Hydrasport did great. No attempts at being macho. She pays attention. Knows who to use the engines to control the boat's attitude. The Freeman cat skipper has it wired which is a lot more than I can say about so many of the beginners...... I'm a SoCal boat vet going way back to the 60's when the fastest inboard cabin cruisers, etc. made only 40 MPH. I've been at 80 MPH in a flatbottom and skied at 70 MPH. We don't have any breaking inlets here. We do have an ocean that can get very nasty. I've waterskied in the ocean plenty. What's the story on the sportsfishermen boats that have no railings forward of the cockpit? That seems unsafe. Thanks for your videos. Love 'em.
Most new ones don't have bow rails, just got to be sure of your footing and they usually have a lip you can feel with your foot. Some that have people up there underway have a small station instead of the big rails.
@@captrod13 I stand corrected. Thanks man now I know. The fore mentioned was a marina in late 70s. I lived in Jupiter in 80s. Why is Rybovich on your boat or is that the name of charter? Just curious. It’s been along time since I’ve been through Jupiter inlet. Good luck Jorge. Stay safe 🇺🇸
Those Carolina built boats are quite honestly the most beautiful sports fishermen on the planet, Jarrett Bay, Bayliss, Spencer, Scarborough et al. Classic lines, beautiful woodwork, and functional design - the high "carolina flare" bow is meant for cutting through much bigger breakers with ease.
Great to see a woman capt ! She did awesome on her way out.. picked her lane well and maintained good speed! As for "The Thing" at 6:58 I have no clue.. probably a big ship tow boat of some sort?!?!?! Nice video
I like see a variety of boats, like that tug boat looking thing that plowed through with athoritie. But also great entertainment and shows folks how scetchy inlets can be. Good work 👍
You asked wtf? Its the crew boat / survey vessel for the Hopper Dredge digging offshore brother. Crew live aboard dredge, but the boat running to and from is supplies, bosses and survey bottom for dredge. I used to captain that boat few years back. Good money
I made it to the end. I really liked the Jarrett Bay convertible. I think she is stunning, and she sliced her way through the inlet. I must admit, I am partial to sport fisherman boats as I have a fishing jones. I think those ladies did ok, I think they could've used a little more throttle and trimmed the engines in to pick the bow up some more. I really like those Freeman power catamarans, well, all power catamarans. They really are a soft riding boat. You could see how the air cushion affects the ride quality when the boat is coming toward you and you see spray coming out from inbetween the hulls. I like the content, keep it up.
Favorite part: Well, love the boats, love the water, love the "Salt Life" Life Style. (Back in the day we were called Waterbillies). So there isn't much that I dislike.
@@RoughInlets Mine was pretty light and fast, but it was only a 17.5ft boat with 150 merc. Earl Bentz left them and started making Triton. I had a 2009 20x2 Triton and it was much heavier with 225 Proxs. It was fast too.
I like the video quality and appreciate hearing the real sounds, nice to havevthe boat desctiptions too but would also like to know approx value for some.☺🤙
@@RoughInlets yes. I live within 15 miles of their factory but there were no white caps unless I missed them. Regardless, JB is the quintessential epitome of perfection in sport fishers hands down.
I do believe you are correct, either way, the Carolina built boats show exactly how "not rough" Florida inlets are - those Wanchese built boats are, quite literally, made for crossing the bar in the most dangerous inlets on the east coast.
The girl in the Hydrasport took about as good a line as possible headed out, you think she's been through there a few times? I'd do a lot more fishing if I could be assured of catching that "mermaid" walking around the cockpit LOL
Your video was labeled women verse the Jupiter inlet??? Total clickbait! And if you don't know what kind of tugboat that was, then you're not from Florida.
My answer would have been a work boat, tounge in cheek but still. What kind of work takes some more looking. She’s built to take it obviously. Going to take more than some choppy inlet to stop her going . : )
