Quad Engine Boat Accident in Biscayne Bay Center Console Boat Totally Destroyed (Black Point Marina) 

The news is reporting that the man who died as a result of the crash was test driving the boat to possibly purchasing it, the boat lost power while at high speed and that caused a loss of steering and the boat went out of control and crashed.

Gotta love the wireless controls dies while you're flying your fucked

They must have been going too fast for the situation they were in if the steering losing power led to that big of a wreck. They definitely hit something hard. Maybe the motors kept going when the controls went out, a communications bus problem perhaps? But I would think in that case the motors would throttle back as a safety? So many questions.

The fact that there is no safety built into this type of design is just nuts. To think a loss of power can do this...

Oyeeeee tremendo desbarate que locura

Something really strange happened there because the only way you can have loss of steering if you kill key power. And at that point your engine should shut off.

How do you know this yet it’s still under investigation no one else seams to know but your self

@@edwardranno7119 Same here! I'm old school I prefer traditional cable throttle and shift and hydraulic steering. I personally know two people that had a crash due to fly by wire failing. Thankfully they were minor crashes while docking and no injuries, but boats were damaged from hitting the dock

sounds like more money then sense

Sounds like a bunch of stupidity….so sad ego s get involved…

so I take it the guy is not gonna buy the boat now

@@13bigerdaveNearly bought the farm.

likely to? mate that happened like 50 yrs ago thanks to Don Aronow and his Donzis and Cigarettes (and that cockroach Ben Kramer). most of these overpowered pieces of junk just fall into the wrong hands. it's so dangerous out there Im out of boating, for my family's sake

You got that straight obviously it's all that Cuban penis extender mentality ya'll down have there. "Look-at-me look-at-me I'm so cool" .

Sorry for your loss.

My condolences to you family and friends

Sorry for your loss and condolences to all friends and family.

1800 hp worth of force. this is what happenes when you have more money than brains

doesn't matter contender Boston whaler Mako any other it's all fiberglass. Some people don't know the first thing about boating, How to navigate, speed to wave period ratio, Their attitude of entitlement, arrogance and macho manism reigns supreme. combine all those factors and this is the result.

its not money : brains ratio. its brain power : decision making. well, there is always ego : genitalia, that becomes a factor. big : small, in most cases.

​@Anthony-bz1vt Yeah and it's max rating is 1,600 hp! Over powered boats are overlooked until something like this happens unfortunately.

What happened,?

You literally don’t have any proof of either of these accusations. How about you stop speculating until you know what really happened

You said nothing wrong, as both those things could apply here, and you didn't accuse anyone, just presenting possibilities. Cheers 👍😎✌🗽

@@TOM-C. Thank you

Well said. You can pretty much guarantee that one or both situations you described are likely.

@@vladimirlopez7840 how so? Were you there? Did you see what happened? No you didn’t. So shut up until you know what went wrong. I’ve been around these boats my whole life. You hit one object in the water (dead head) at cruising speed and it will flip your boat like a feather. Stop spreading false information. You have no clue what actually happened

My new 39 contender did same thing ..we just lost power n steering multiple times on a 700k boat ..contender could careless ...2022...I understand what happened believe me

90 miles an hour with autopilot on??? ON A BOAT ??? Who/why the heck would you do that ??? Plain crazy!

​@@francoislepine4698 I have a great uncle that was friends With a guy that knew someone with A boat and he told me it was aliens 👽

That is what I was thinking or it was a jet ski

The entire port side is gone. He got hit by something

@@cjmac4408 Yeah, I don't think a jet ski could do that. More than likely another boat is involved, or like you said, something else?

@@christinecalifornia8136 Actually, the more I look at it, 14:58 it could have been a Jet Ski haulin azz! I saw the port side rear corner originally, but didn't pay attention to the motor cover, and it does appear that is where the boat/jet ski was able to slip up like there was a ramp. If hit from the side, there is no way a Jet ski could get above the boat as the front is not steep enough, and it would likely go under the boat. That, and the fact there's little damage to the boat tells me it may well have been a Jet Ski?

@@TOM-C. no other boat involved. Another boater witnessed the boat out of control going in circles very fast prior to the crash. Possibly the way it stopped was the boat laying completely over in the water at high speed and throwing people out. It was very violent.

I really want to hear thar full story, but with all that power you should have the kill switch attached to you. But we do get to comfortable

@@dive2deepocean115 recently we found ourselves in a moment that supports your warning. My hubs unhooked the kill switch from him as he repositioned, with the intention of reattaching immediately as he sat down. Somehow he lost his balance and into the drink he went. It all happened so fast, thankfully we were only going about 20. And thankfully, even tho we’d owned boats on lakes for many many years, I had taken the boat safety course when we bought this boat so I knew instantly what to do. It was surreal and happened in a blink. Certainly highlighted just how seriously we need to be every second on the water.

Keith in still hurt from my accident. I am thankful I'm still here so that's what counts

Please, don't push yourself. We will get by while you recover. Video was great, those Sea Tow guys are quite good at re-floating sunk boats.

oh, so you already know that it was equipment failure? Wow, you should go work as an FWC investigator - Are you sure Mr. GARCIA was a licensed "Captain", or, simply captain because he was at the helm?

@@Letmetrytoo One of the surviving passengers gave a statement that the steering and electronics flailed before the crash. As far as being a licensed captain this is not necessary to describe the operator as the captain. Do some research if you are able.

@@edwardranno7119 I recently replaced the fly by wire accelerator on a newer Toyota Camry. Cables are no longer used. On my boats now I still use teleflex steering and throttle cables. Good luck and stay safe.

Wouldn't we have seen marks from the other vehicle? Scrape marks, paint, abrasive damage? We don't see anything like that.

@rm4po4 It looked like there was a red splotch on the side with all of the damage. I just can't imagine what else would cause that kind of damage to a well-built boat like that. 🤷‍♂️

@@straybullitt ooh, I didn't see that, I'll take a look. Thank you.

I would think we would see a sharp impact, paint, scraped etc. I don't see anything like that. Looks like they flipped.

Driver died

The news is dead bro

If you see how people act and drive in Florida, it makes total sense. This place has something in the water lol

No other boat involved. Very high speed.

What did happen?

​@@dive2deepocean115he was running thru a channel to wide and hit a sand bar in a curve it flipped the boat , it killed the captain, owner of a Chevrolet dealership in citrus County

Never mind, I saw them at the crash site. The boat appeared to be up right though, not rolled over.
