The Boat is Sinking Abandon Ship!! | Miami Boat Ramps | 79th 

The perfect comment!

Exactly what I was thinking while watching it ! They did a dang good job-

+1

What was the reason why it was taking on water?

that is so true! lol

What ship I didn't see a ship

@@daffyduck9901 the guy that help originally get the shrinking boat to the dock then jumped in the water to swim back to his boat

And some people can’t even climb onto the back of a jet ski!

It's a boat a ship is like over 200 ft long like the Navy has ships oil tankers are ships. That thing's just a boat.

@@daffyduck9901 did I not reply to you and say Boat? 🤦🏻

Yeah, much respect for them especially working well together during an emergency.

@@elcajondavid1 Yup that was some serious fast thinking by so many! Well done. HOWEVER, anybody know why it was sinking??????

good job they didnt need the vhf because its too hard to put the radio masts up

Pros? Jumped overboard almost breaking a leg then a guy almost lost a leg while sitting on the trailer when backing under the boat then almost pulled the 2nd boat out with it tied to the first. To many people freaking out far from pros.

@@Tombomb1816 The only calm one was the woman oddly enough.

... Good thing there were friends to help immediately when they got to the dock holding the boat mostly level (side to side)

@@240LTS Looked like the entire starboard transom was gone.

@@BrianProwker Good spot; I didn't notice that before.

Me too, I live in cedar key and would never more back. I lived in lake city for a while but didn’t find it peaceful

Well said

Should be noted they assisted in helping. That group did a hell of a job.

In Miami I’m surprised there wasn’t 5 PWC’s Blocking their access to the dock and ramp

Cubans. I am so proud to be one😊

Cubans 👏🏻 Great team work!!!

If this is a crisis to you then you are the whitest person in the world Have you never been in a real crisis

@@txjreyes8545 Give it a rest.

@@JB-mk4ry crazy tho 😳

@@txjreyes8545 thanks for bringing race into the discussion. Stay classy!

I can't front, race is in alot of things bruh. I never thought I would be the one to say that you tripping, but This is about saving a boat.. Now you got me feeling funny just saying that....smh

LOL, I didn't notice that. Funny shit, he's like "Oh hell noooo"

Yeah he turned around quick

That was the best part of the video!

No thats why he flagged them down while they were leaving....

I’m glad he walked off he would’ve just been in the way

They did not panic which a lot of people can't handle the stress during emergency situations and like a turtle they retreat into their shells, or in this situation people just shutdown, which they didn't.

"Well....let's see, if my calculations are correct and I've taken into consideration the balanced weight from bow to stern and 92 degrees temp., then we could go ahead and just kiss the trailer up to keel at 34 degrees....

Ok, I'll bite. That'll Be Only Another Thousand.... BOAT. Good save, though.

Why didn't the commentator point that out??? It was pretty obvious.

1:35

I noticed that too but don’t know the design of the boat.

The narrator doesn’t have a clue.

I think that's just because it's sitting so low in the water. Normally that would be above the waterline. When they pull it out you can see there is a swim platform, the water should sit slightly below that.

They forget to put the plug in is my guess

@@theresasalazar5822 well just keep the speed up and the water will go out, is that easy, I did that with my boat all the time in Florida.

That’s what I’m screaming!

I assume it's a walk thru with a swim ladder.

That's what I see too and no matter if it's a walk through or not it's lower than the water line, but to me it looks as if a portion of the transom has disappeared below water line

Looks like the walk through door was missing. Maybe it fell off and took waves in through the door and that is what started the sinking? Who knows.

@@240LTS Possibly, and the pump couldn't keep up but when they were being towed it was ok because it pushed the water back out the hole but fully caught up and refilled once it slowed down again especially with boat wake catching up to the boat and the opening just barely above water line the water rushed back in way too fast for the pump to keep up and began going down again. It was very creative to use the second boat to raise the stern though I've been boating a long time and that's the first time I've seen that, hope I never need it though. I know a lot of people who boat today don't understand that if you leave out the plug or whatever if you notice in time, you can just put the boat in gear and as you move it drains out the water and then you can put the plug back in unless, like nowadays in many cases, you have no access to the transom drain.

@@kw57rx8dr.9 Yeah, I assume something happened that got the water level up to the level of the door and at that point water was coming in though the door too fast.

Does not happen hardly

Unfortunately for every one good deed there are 25 bad deeds.

They do this every time they put the boat in the water.

This narration has been brought to you by captain obvious!

Not the first time i have heard him mis- narrate a clip. Seem he just randomly calls it as his brain sees it and never edits or retraces after realizing what the deal is. The transom was obvious and never got zoomed in on or talked about. Both of which can be done during editing. To busy with voice over narrating to bother? Or leaving for the comment section? Hard to tell.

Had similar experience, have to beach it as fast as you can and deal with a problem. Get auto bilge pump so you know right a way that taking on water. Always check plug do not trust buddy puting it in :)) have a spare too .

@@redbear1935 Yep, had the same scenario with a friend. I told him to do it and drive the boat while i went and parked the truck and trailer. Come back to dock walking and the panic had set in on him and our wives. So i told him to drive the boat around in circles as fast as he could til i got back with the trailer. He argued but then did what i said. Forward motion forced most of the water out and he luckily drove it right up on the trailer when i got there. Quick drain, plug and parked the trailer and saved the day.

@@larss592 my buddy got upset that I asked him did he put the plug right :)). He had no idea that you have to screw the bolt tide and then lock , he just locked it lose :)).

good eye! I just noticed that too!

When the boats out of the water the starboard outboard is lower. I bet they hit something and it caught the outboard and cracked the transom.

Swim door does fuck all to keep water out, its only the plug they left out....another Einstein comment

That door is designed to be open at sea though, so it didn’t start the water coming in. The boat must have been taking on water before the door opened. But once the boat got low enough in the water for the waterline to be above the bottom of the door it would have let a ton of water in. But man, they handled the situation like amazingly! Clearly handled it like pros from the time it started taking on water to the time it was pulled from the water!

That’s a Toyota Tundra…it’s a full size truck

@@jwboilermaker A tundra isn't full-sized. A Ram 3500 dually king cab with long box is Full Sized. Tundra's a small truck.

Then apparently my ram 1500 isn’t a “full sized” truck by your definition. “Small trucks” = Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado

@@jwboilermaker No, it's not full-sized. Get something bigger if you want to call it that. Tocomas, Rangers, Colorados are just cars with a bed.

It had a large portion of the back missing on the right hand side

@@georgeharrison2795 I saw that too, maybe a hatch fell out? Looked to square to be damaged...

That should be below the waterline, but the boat was sitting way too low in the water because of the water in the boat.

@@dustintunis9347 Don’t you mean ‘should be above the water line’?

They hauled out the leaking hull ; )

i think the bilege pump can overcome the bracket platform leak. I think the reason for this must be some crack on the hull.

That's what I was thinking also. The fact that they didn't power in also adds a lot of weight to that theory.

I have a similar bracket on my boat. The bracket and the hull are 2 separate compartments, with 2 separate plugs. If the bracket fills with water, it will drag the stern down. If it gets down far enough, no bilge pump will bring the stern back up unless its in the bracket.

...and I think their initial reasons were to get someone on the dock to take up the lines.

Breaking your leg jumping into shallow water isn't a solid job.

@@s0nnyburnett didn’t see anyone breaking a leg in the video perhaps I missed that 🤷‍♂️

@@s0nnyburnett who broke a leg ?

Actually, scrap my original theory. There's a lot of water coming off that pod. Nobody would be stupid enough to run control and fuel cables through the pod and transom below the water line, right? Right? OMG, i think they did. it was not an accident, it was designed by an idiot.
