I've never come through Haulover, but I am a life long boater. The decisions that people make are just staggering!!!! People in the bow of the boat? Waves like that? Wow!
i dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Kolton Major Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
My family is expierenced in boating, and didn’t even let me go on a boat until I was 6 years old. I always wore a life jacket until I was 11 or 12. I’m 15 now, and I drive a EdgeWater 188CC
That last boat looked like an older 16' Carolina Skiff. I have a 23' Carolina Skiff and wouldn't think of trying that (but I'm also a former charter captain with common sense and experience).
Thank you for paying attention to safety of riding in bow of boat . When I was ten I had a friend fall of bow and end up 47 stitches from prop.just dont risk it.
@James Braselton Drunk RU-vid translation: "Yes it is my (unintelligible) had one. 12 footer with 25hp (unintelligible) on. 12 gallon fuel tank 300 mile range" You're all welcome.
1:46 More like "Making Mammories"! Spent the money on breast implants instead of a nice boat! That's a tough call, both boats and women are money pits, though certainly making memories either way.
Thanks for the commentary. I have watched these videos for years and always wonder what’s the right way to tackle those big waves. I never noticed people on the bow. I’ll keep an eye out. Does going faster make it a better exit from the inlet. When coming in are they trying to stay just behind a wave or just in front?
My thoughts exactly! The children! People are so foolish..ever seen a youngster pulled out of the water dead?????? Think you can console those negligent parents??? Just horrific..ER RN
@@kevinsherratt7558 I’m pretty sure that’s exactly the case too. Won’t look cool enough and won’t look like they are confident boat operators if all their passengers have life jackets on.
Mystery boat getting rocked looks like a Carolina Skiff 20-21 ft DLX with a mystery Merc 115? Best place for a skiff is in the river, the bay or at the sandbar.
I don’t understand why so many of these vessel go broadside at the break of the swell. In Australia when do your maritime licence you’re taught to turn at the bottom and use the swell to your advantage. It’s the perfect recipe for flipping your vessel going broadside at the break. Is this not taught when you do your boat licence in America?
@@maxpower4747 - I don't know but based on what I've seen of them just trying to use a boat ramp, you would think driver's licences are not required either.
Am I required to have Radar? IF YOU HAVE IT YES! Radar is not required on vessels under 1600 GT (33 CFR 164.35), however, Rule 7 states that proper use shall be made of radar equipment if fitted and operational. In other words, whoever has one must use it. The Navigation Rules are not meant to discourage the use of any device, rather they expect prudent mariners to avail themselves of all available means appropriate... Should you be in a collision how would a judge/jury rule on your contention that the use of radar was impracticable (due to electrical drain, crew shortages, etc.)? Also, if a collision does occur, then there was obviously a risk of collision beforehand. Could the determination of that risk have been made sooner with the use of radar? It is difficult to answer such questions because the circumstances of each case are different. More importantly, remember that Rule 7 specifies that assumptions shall not be made on the basis of scanty information, especially scanty radar information.
I hate to get granular, but with the Scout in round 1, the win goes to the Scout and all the occupants aft of the console. The loss goes to the adults in the bow section that had probably already been warned by the captain.....
Back in the day when I operated a gas station and workshop, two of my customers bought a Hamilton jet boat and nearly killed themselves first time out over the Whakatane bar because they didn't know how to operate it properly.
@@rayss3323 Yahama style jet boats are (were?) a shallow-v (maybe improved today), so they don't cut through waves well, instead they tend to launch off waves. Mine went 62 MPH, which would be great on a calm lake (or sound), but frequently there is chop (at the least) where they are not comfortable. Even when comparing more suitable boats for chop/waves there is a give and take... My buddy has a 21' bowrider with a 225hp, his top speed is about 32, my 22' cuddy walkaround with a 200hp hits 41, but weighs 1,000 lbs less. His handles swells better than mine, but is slower, even with more power. It's a give-and-take. I'd rather have mine and go out on calmer days than plow through slower all the time. It's not "jet" that's the variable, it's the hull that is built for speed, not comfort.
The one with the broken top blowing kisses at the camera in her bikini and the dude dressed like a cowboy with a busted ass borrowed boat, that was hilarious
Has anyone counted how many times the guy says “go ahead” in each of his videos? Go ahead and take a fuses below, then go ahead and watch the rest of his videos. 🤣😂
From inland canada. Great education for a landlubber like me. They told me here I need a boat operates permit to use an electric Minn Kota trolling motor on my 12 foot angling kayak. I think its 20 lb thrust, the smallest model. My lake is one mile across and 10 feet deep. I've fished there all my life. "A competency test"....they say To get the permit I'm forced to take an all day course. Funny...I'm supposed to file a "float plan" The commentary is valued, the sea has always fascinated me. I see why rules and training should apply....but our lawgivers have no training on being "not stupid" like those boaters they claim to protect. Wreck of the Edmund Fitzergerald is famous in Canada's great lakes, check it out. I built a Spanish Galleon and a Cutty Sark, big models from Revell, about 35 years ago. Fascinating. How'd you like to cross the ocean with one of those? Thanks for the explaining, hope people learn the skills.
When riding in a boat you put your safety in the hands of the captain, not all captains are the same, some are idiots and you not being aware of this will make the boat ride something to remember.
