BOAT PASSENGERS GET CRUSHED AT HAULOVER INLET !! | Boats at Haulover Inlet
Rough day at Haulover Inlet for the passengers on the Cigarette 39 Top Gun. The captain hammered down through the inlet and sent the power boat airborne. Unfortunately he miss timed the jump and they ate a wave face first. All 3 passengers were down for several minutes with the front passenger never getting up again.

@@MusicClassicalVideos Yeah, the Lekker, the Fire & Rescue boat and the Sealine at the end made it obvious that all the others are creating their own drama. Slow to dead slow, displacement mode, really no problem. Maybe keeping the speed up like everybody says is necessary for the pure planing hulls, idk, but it seems like a high risk approach. Even when they pull it off, seems pretty brutal on boat and passengers and a great reason not to take a planing hull into real waves.

Here's a fact that might get some people a bit upset. But reality is that people who buy Cigs, AT's or Apaches have a tendency to think they are as good at driving their boats fast offshore as what the boat is theoretically capable of. If you have ever been at a powerboat meetup, those guys are the ones pointing their fingers at everyone else, talking about how their boats are the only real offshore powerboats. Sadly most of them have never received any performance driving training. They have learned by doing, and only some have actually gotten a good understanding of how to drive a boat fast in the rough stuff. You rarely see OL, Fountain, Mystic or similar owners in these situations. It is inevitably some clown in a Cig, AT or Apache who thinks their resin bucket can do anything at any time.

@@commanderrussels2612 I think Top Gun was trying to set the new Haulover inlet speed record.

[@ralphholiman7401]

I used to keep my boat at Winston Yacht Club (near Haulover) , and there is a canal that runs beside it, that gets mistaken for Haulover Inlet about once a year by someone going fast at night. Luckily, there are mostly just mangroves at the end of it and they usually only get a few broken bones when they hit them at full speed.

Welcome to Florida. Too kool for school is the order of the day and low SAT's are the way to go.

[@EvanSchurr]

Wow that Lekker at 4:50 is bizarre. Looks like a bath tub with a steering wheel, but it surfed straight in without even flinching. What a weird boat. I love it!

[@USArmyZ28]

Damn that Midnight Express was barely phased by that, those boats are beasts!!

His first time out to show the in-laws his new boat!

Kinda thinkin the driver, not Captain, driver of the first boat should be a Douche of the Year contestant...

[@danf4616]

Compressed spines, contusions, bruised ribs, etc, etc. "I can go fast because my boat's so badas..."

You are right he was def just a driver, far from captain, unless someone was saying "Qualified Captain"

Someone commented earlier. One passenger has a broken back among other injuries. The other has a dislocated ankle. Both needing surgery.

@@silversurfer427 looks like around $250k to $500k. Of course depends on year model and options, especially engines.

I love the lack of PFD’s . You can’t fix stupid but you can medicate crazy.

[@natcalverley4344]

@Mike Lyons So I guess you have never heard of inflatable vests? They can be manually inflated or auto inflate when you hit the water and are available for about $ 120 bucks from Mustang. Spin lock,and imperial just to name a few. Its pretty stupid not to have all your crew wearing them and you as a captain are responsible to ensure the safety of your passengers. They are not hot to wear as they are a nylon harness with two strips of nylon down the front about three inches wide . Now who is stupid. They can also be equipped with epirbs,light and whistle . The epirbs activate on activation of the vest. If one of your crew hits their head on the way overboard and is knocked unconscious because you as a captain are to stupid to pull the throttles back on your vessel and hammer a wave to hard and injure them they can be saved. If they are unconscious in rough seas and sink Congratulations you just killed one of your crew members. But hey that is natural selection of the stupid right ? But at least you might have a chance of recovering their bodies in a day or two when the gases from decomposition float them to the surface that is if the sharks and other marine scavengers don’t eat them first. Here is hoping you don’t have command of a vessel anytime soon.

@Mike Lyons You’ve boating incorrectly for 35 years if you don’t wear a PFD when you’re underway.

[@bigblock67camaro]

The Captain of the Lekker is who I would trust, aware of his surroundings and knows how to smoothly transition those waves. Your supposed to ride them, NOT EAT THEM!!

[@Shokkwavez]

I like the Lekker boat, it's a very Dutch design that you see here in Amsterdam a lot but I suspect the boat has some Dutch roots anyways since the name "Lekker" is Dutch. The triple X where the bow meets the keel is a reference to Amsterdam, you see it here on the city shields, street poles etc everywhere and last but not least "Damsko" is a slang name for Amsterdam most commonly used by the youth. Very cool to see it in Miami, FL.

[@TStheBaja272]

Our Baja 272 successfully navigated an area called 'The Gut' There was 5 foot waves the whole way and we drove just right so we weren't bouncing and landing hard. I love my Baja, she's a beast
