Ultimate Powerboat Madness from Haulover in Miami to Key West 

What a king.

Well Did you pick up on his Girlfriend ???

Thanks!

I feel the same I bought my boat for what it takes to fill the tank on some of these boats

However, you do have a boat and a family to enjoy it with. That makes you very rich in life. Do you feel better now? : )

Some people spend their money in different ways.

Robert G. Bro. these people use their boats like two times per year. Stay on your boat and keep her seaworthy. Much better value my friend. Fair winds and following seas (written by a sailboater).

That’s not even factoring in all the alcohol that was consumed🤣

And still not a dent in the bank account lmao

@@classiccam4647 Lets not forget the Viagra and the STD meds later on. This is why I'll never hit the lottery. I know for sure that I'd be dead of VD within a year. But what a year it would be.

@@MrCarnutbill67 what’s vd? Never say never, ya might just get lucky🤷🏻‍♂️

You're not alone. I'm 28 and share a 18ft centre console with my brother in the UK. CC's are just a lovely, dynamic type of boat. They do it all. Going fast in a straight line on the 8 calm days of the year on a boat with no space is just pointless.

and 1600 horsies on the back

That boat caught my eye too. That's the most strikingly beautiful color I've ever seen on a boat.

Yeah, iridescent cobalt blues are striking.

Thanks!

Well said!

O love your coment all is beautiful

Thanks! I'm sure she's plenty fun on a weekend!

Pat I have to agree with you 100%. I spend most of my time dealing with all the planning and BS running these events, but when @zipzappower shows up...Ked and his team really get the best angles and quality content. Nice having them along to get the "behind the scenes" and best angles from various vantage points!!

I want to ask the owner what its like going mach 6 on the water.

@@Whargoul100 no, you wanna ask....whats it like paying for it? ;)

Reminds me of the hydrofoil races here in Seattle WA, the sound of them spooling up their jet engines (WWWHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE). ;-)

Looks like a lux miss Gieco.

@@yerher6759 Its on sales for $400k. actually less expensive than I thought

I wasn't there but I've been there now. Nice comment

Lol I almost have enough for an inflatable kayak!

Water wings and a wading pool for this bad boy.

time for snow skiing and then sitting by a warm fire!

It's a club rule, I believe.

TheTorkerman-Adam you’re actually wrong bud. 6 2019 450s are 90 grand each it’s about 500k maybe more after installation

450rs you can get for 48 thousand!! A piece!

What difference does it make? We’ll all never be able to afford that! No less 6 of them!!

@@tomseadon9965 its obviously possible to own them all, stop selling yourself short

@@Mr.Thermistor7228 I’m sorry Jeff, but I just don’t have those kinda bucks! And to be totally honest, my credit score SUCKS! Back in 96, I got ahold of a 1962 Stamas ru-a-bout. About 16’, she was a total pig! So I grabbed my circular saw, made a new shear, dug out the grinders, hulls a shell now ya follow, went to work, added a stringer system, if ya wanna call it that. Long story short, marine plywood 3/8” carpeted floor, and underneath the for deck, 42” bow towards stern, 7” gunnels for decking, used 1 inch divinicil under glass, 2 layers ounce and a half, and 1708 biax.rebuilt entire Transom, primer coat, Awlgrip, Paint, Hunter Green Imron!! Stainless Steel angle tops off transom, running lights, 12 volt battery, trickle charge unit hook up, 4 Perko pole holders, 2 10’ outriggers,I know, I know, but at this point of the game, I said SCREW IT! Let’s have fun now! Added depth fish finder,speedometer, 5 auxiliary fuse box, rigged in Tupperware container. Worked out pretty nicely too I’ll add! Built 2 storage cabinets, and BTW, ALL THE HARDWARE IS STAINLESS STEEL! Hinges,screws, outrigger clips too.except bow light, that’s plastic. (Bummer) 1,000,000 candle watt spot light, to spot the alligators in Port Saint Lucie, Florida which is where I lived at the time. Stuck a 1984 Evinrude 25 Tiller motor on the back, 31-32 MPH! Fast enough for me, boat is now 13 foot, 6” ! I situated a couple boat cushions, made a really nice seat, cut through the water like a knife! Not so sure how I managed to accomplish this, but I was really pleased with the end result. Stern light was interchangeable too, I had a short stub and a 3 footer, for the foggy nights, and just didn’t want to be seen, due to what I was catching! Kept nothing illegal, but just don’t need to be hassled on the water. Boats only flaw, I guess you might say, was hardly any Freeboard! Maybe 3-4 inches near stern. Also, 1.5” rubber RUBRAIL with TEAL insert rubber tube, and she looked beautiful! And a 400 watt power inverter for A/M F/M radio too, and for plugging in additional accessories. Bottom line is that by the time I finished her up, SHE WAS JUST ALL MINE WITH NO PAYMENTS, LIENS, BANK INVOLVEMENT, JUST FREE AND CLEAR ALL MINE! Well, I guess that’s the short story version if you wanna call it that! She gave me almost 10 great years of fun, fishing, and just cruising from Stuart inlet to Jupiter inlet on those calm summer nights!. I was 35 years at the time of starting this project, took all of 8 months, plus working full time in the Aircraft plant I was at. I look back now, and those were definitely some of my best times I’ve ever had, both using it, but building it, adding this, that, makin er my own, I had a FUCKEN BLAST! My wife was a great help too! Especially with the kids, and keeping them away from the nasty things! Paint, resin, epoxy, reducers, awl-fill, and you name it, I probably had it! I worked at the Ralph Evinrude Test center for a year, and Ribovich Marine about 2 years,before going back to Northrop Grumman, when I started the boat! I hope that you enjoyed the story as much as I did living it! God bless all us boaters, and everyone else, boat or not.🙏🐊

MrGreatness funny shit man, that is hilarious gotta send to my fuel guy Mark Klein from VP Racing Fuels!!

🤣🤣 Yep!

3:40 as well

@@Tommyjet18 naw he just got the bills the guy who owns the fueling company is the true major player.

I think they all have money. Lol.

My name is Boat, James Boat. HAHAHAHA

Like you'd ever catch another bass again!

My 87 merc with no exhaust does

The bass wish different

Patriarchal society: Men are providers and women raise the family and keep the home Also patriarchal society: “WOMEN TAKE MUH MONEY”

Yes it’s turbine powered. And if you think it’s loud outside the boat, you don’t want to know how loud it is inside the cockpit

@@swaggerjacker1482 Then its a perfect boat for married couple I say.

@@swaggerjacker1482 It looked like it was slower then the normal boats. And it probubly runs out of gasoline fast.

What’s that boat model or brand name? Thing looks like a spaceship.

Koji Takata that’s a 50’ Mystic.

I'm dropping phone so many times my volume doesn't really work that well I'll have to buy another Samsung

Guess he forgot to collect gas money from his passengers lmao

Hahahaha! Great comment

here is another one I filmed at Havasu, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l2F63K8rMzA.html this one is a Skater, imho, not as cool looking as the Mystic but still incredible.. particularly because the Skater owner has a matching helicopter.

42’ fountain poker run edition. Look it up.

I'm trying to figure out what boat that was at 2:51

yes, a jet engine

Isn't that crazy, when a $250,000 boat doesn't even rate?

Thanks ZipZapPower for the shout-out! We had a record 270 registered teams on a five day event Wed to Monday, and will have some great vids coming out soon on our RU-vid channel Florida Powerboat Club. Looks like you got some nice stuff..the natural audio sounds great on the "big power" boats.

You're welcome, always a great event and getting bigger! and even as a spectator it is sensory overload, takes me a couple days to recover!

ben yessin hahahaha how the fuck puts turbines in a pleasure cat and it’s a closed canopy! They better be in air conditioning in there ?

ben yessin merica

Who*

Statement marine???

hippo4g93 and ear plugs or ear muffs

People always talk about the top 1% having so much money. That's still a few million people in the US.

No other country in the world has people that can buy speed boats. Amazing.

THE INSIDE IS COMPLETELY DRY!

SanFranciscoBay Some came from humble beginnings. Not old family money or luck, but hard nose to the stone work. Trying many businesses and avenues until one finally got legs.

Just go to the Florida powerboat RU-vid channel they give you an actual play by play of the event.

007tallguy My $32.57 isn’t cutting it either!

Actually you have it wrong. Your wage is helping your owners. I think I saw them on one of the boats.

Sounds like youre mismanaging your hour.

My 60.50hr isnt working either 😭

Dustin Padama jesus

It sure has changed a LOT in 50 yrs. Lol.

idk but that was a beautiful fountain

They look weird

They've kinda taken over in recent years due to less maintenance, etc. But there is nothing like an inboard outboard, imo.

I have a powerboat

I have an inner tube.

Thanks!

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it!

Same thought I had!

The boat featured in the crash video was a 38’ Fountain. Looks like a winner🧐

The wife and I were having lunch at the Holiday Isle when they were running time trials out of there. It was awesome.

Do you know what kind of boat this is??

Hilarious! 🤦‍♂️

You stoopid if you think otherwise

Kingpins fo-sure ... 🤔

Chat

I’d be very surprised if at least a few boats left totally empty.

You’d be surprised how fast a crew of guys could slap on a Black paint Job on one of these babies, and how much money you could make in 18-24 hours! That’s what I heard anyway, and this was back around 1978-1981, when I was aware of it!

Cigarette Top Gun for me or Outerlimits Super Cat

Thanks!
