BOAT SINKING?? FAMILY IN PANIC MODE AT HAULOVER INLET | BOAT ZONE

[@BoatZone]

What went wrong with the Captain here? This boat clearly took on too much water!

[@michaelm8312]

He bought a boat

[@KevinStogner-fd7tl]

He did the best thing, get on plane and let the water drain from the deck, any water below deck the bilge pump(s) would pump it out.

[@karlhoffman5290]

I feel he prob never pumped bilge out b4 embarking on the day..and that access water was enough to cause it to list. Rains a lot down there . We're just getting our boats ready now up here in crap weather land. Rockford Illinois lol

[@stuartb3609]

1:18 the woman appears to lift the aft hatch and probably noted all the water. Along with being overloaded in the bow, I wonder if the draining plug had been put in prior to launch?

[@bravejango12]

@@stuartb3609 That's an ice chest.

[@Brykk]

That scout at about the 7 minute mark just sliced through the waves. It was really graceful.

[@2bigbufords]

Beautiful boat for sure

[@cjf334]

That boat is a monster that's why

[@justaviewer111]

The guy in the blue Key West with the single 200 at the 8:44 mark was the most impressive to me. He was getting tossed up pretty good but landed nice and smooth.

[@HamburgerAmy]

im happy i'm not the only one that noticed how nice that boat....boated, i wonder if it has anything to do with that flaired hull design? either way, wow what a nice boat

[@callummassey7970]

The 'Scout' captain was the only one that knew engine trim exists. Blows my mind watching the majority hit decent swells head on with bow down.

[@toddgwinn8395]

Exactly! Trim to get the bow up and not plow in a wave. Really calling them a Capt is way to generous

[@jtpalooki7757]

Much less the bilge switch…

[@quidproquo3933]

@@jtpalooki7757the what ?

[@adamfrbs9259]

You should see the Mississippi River...1 out of 100 know what trim is or does...it's nuts, some are well into the 6 digit range $$$ boats too.

[@BOSS_DOG]

@@toddgwinn8395 This is why the coast guard makes a distinction between an operator (OUPV) and a master on the application for your license. They aren't captains until they are licensed.

[@cheesycarrotsoup]

The people surfing and the wildlife at the end of the video really highlight the importance of why keeping the ocean clean is so important.

[@dpdpdpdpdpdrtyitp]

That axopar though…what a boat

[@morri03]

Perfect demonstration of the free surface effect

[@MrRobbyc]

Key west 8:38 perfect conditions and a great captain

[@jamess3532]

Agreed!

[@ilemustonen4227]

Yes! My thoughts excactly. And a much smaller boat than the videos first hero 😂

[@colonia8]

Like a BOSS...........

[@gagelembeck]

I really like the shot of that fishing boat towards the end.

[@BoatZone]

Therapy IV It is the most filmed boat by our channel. Glad you like it

[@dannyv2335]

Yep, Therapy IV is a floating landmark and Capt Ed is a great man too.

[@stuartmacaulay962]

Just curious what are the masts on the sides of the boat used for?

[@dannyv2335]

@vibratingstring she’s just listed as a Custom Carolina. I couldn’t tell you.

[@luv2fly452]

Sweet video. Awesome drone action too. Everytime I take off from Opa Locka airport we usually fly over the inlet. I'm always looking for the boats.

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

I was waiting on the top of the NX 290 to break off. 6:00

[@BoatZone]

On a rough day, it ends up without the top. Hey, great to see you here, as always

[@AusSonic]

Every captain should know when is slack tide times are. For that inlet smaller boats should be crossed on slack tide. Knowing your tides is a must on any waterways that is effected but the moon cycle.. The captain of that boat has a lot to learn how the seas work. I've been saying this on boatzone for a while that ever boat operator must do a course on boating, know your rules and know your tides.

[@patrickwhelan5703]

"I christen thy, the Flying Wasp"! Caddyshack:)

[@TT2.7F150]

Those midnight express boats seem to do rather well

[@alastairstewart2047]

Very close to disaster, important safety lessons here about the effect of all that water on board that seriously affected stability

[@BoatZone]

He was lucky to be in a hull as reliable as the Scout

[@michalzajic8602]

All he needs to do is trim engines litle bit up same trim like for cruising and give some gas.Than it will be OK!

[@jonathonerb4578]

That guy needs boater education! Love these videos keep it up!

[@BoatZone]

I appreciate that!

[@fishingfool2644]

I watch these videos and I say to myself where are they going. Outside of the entrance is nothing but white caps.

[@nodayatthebeach]

That Key West came down nicely off the back of those waves. Didn't see much jostling around at all.

[@spurtzbum]

Axopar barreled through the waves..Midnight Express rolled on through as well..

[@jumperstartful]

Boat, a hole in the water to throw a bunch of money in. Learned that from my father’s experience.

[@MattnMathias]

At least captain made all kids wear life jackets. That’s a good sign. Also he turned around and came back in when things weren’t looking right. Seems like a good decision

[@jesse_productions]

Scout cap did a really good job trimming those engines.

[@jeremyr7147]

8:30 The Bulgarian boat handled it like a boss. БЯЛА , cyrillic stated 'byala', means white in Bulgarian

[@edverhoeven2953]

Vaak zie je bij hetzelfde soort boten dat het water als het ware wordt "opgeschept" zodat de boot volloopt en op het punt staat om te zinken. Fout in het ontwerp van deze boten.

[@hellothere4342]

That Axopar was magnificent. Cut the waves like nothing.

[@Keiky80]

Thats finish boat craftmanship for you... there are tens of different boat manufacturers here, who know how to make boats... btw why american small/mid size boats are designed like spoons, with low bow so they can scoop more water from waves?

[@hotchihuahua1546]

Knowing what salt water does to everything on a boat I would pick a calm day to go out ! The amount of time to wash everything off with fresh water and clean is time consuming !

[@BoatZone]

Well, that's part of having a boat. Even on a calm day, you can't escape getting to the dock and cleaning the boat

[@tee4222]

@vibratingstringgelcoats and paints do, though. Salt water penetrates and dramatically increases the osmotic pressure, resulting in blisters and delamination.

[@shauncorless8965]

99% are not captain, s only boat owners 😮

[@Chris_de_S]

They are renters. They dont use fenders, a dead give-away.

[@TatsByTaco]

Alot of these guys did just fine imho, just choppy waters. The ones that have no business being out in the water are just SO obvious though 😢

[@ah9638]

10 out off 10 for the drone pilots!

[@jtcash44]

I know nothing about boats but that Scout seemed to just slice through everything.

[@grass10111]

Folks out taking risks and having fun. Cool

[@KentDuFault]

A closed bow boat with a hardtop and at least dual high capacity bilge pumps is the only boat I would consider taking through there.

[@BwInNewJersey]

2:26 That Axopar can get it 😅

[@BoatZone]

hell yes

[@glenwitteman2585]

I think I need a black Axopar. On my small lake here in Oklahoma.

[@BwInNewJersey]

@@glenwitteman2585Arent they gonna think you’re ‘The Law’?

[@mbc8844]

Scout boat appears to have alot of water in the bilge. Evident when the boat rolls side to side even though the passengers are centered.

[@DavidSanchez-zq8fp]

I think that Scout was already taking on water. I wouldn’t be surprised if the plug wasn’t installed. There was enough time to clear the water off the deck before it got back to the bridge, but it was still struggling.

[@DavidSanchez-zq8fp]

@vibratingstring the boat was bow high for quite awhile as it approached the bridge. It would’ve drained. There was water in the hull.

[@tsimpson007]

That first boat almost sank. The captain appeared inexperienced and the boat was overloaded. That was evident every time someone moved and it would lean way over. He needs to take the captain course to learn how to handle that boat.

[@MikeWoolf-m3u]

The extreme lean looked less related to folks moving around and rather seemed to me evidence of a lot of water under the deck. Once he got the boat turned around, he at least kept it under control long enough for the bilge pump to do its job.

[@MikeWoolf-m3u]

[@swabby913]

A captains license does not replace experience and coaching. Merchant Mariner Credentials are only given to people who can prove years and many hrs of experience. I only point this out because, there is no "captain course". And if there is, its a scam. Nothing replaces years on a boat under the supervision of a seasoned captain.

[@richardkeeling5821]

the first boat wasn't overloaded, the weight was wrongly placed, if they were sat in the stern they would have been fine. all he had to do was turn on the bilge pumps

[@LUVUTV]

I love the waves

[@cynthia4058]

Any updates on the trash dumpers? Hopefully it is being addressed!

[@dannyv2335]

IMO that Pursuit should actually go slower with that wave height and spacing. The only thing that’ll help is bigger boat length in that situation.

[@Capt_OscarMike]

Did I see Mr. KAZOOM fly past around the 2:00 mark or so???

[@gordonreynolds4599]

What's the over/under for soft tissue injuries caused by reckless captains? 1st boat, did he find it on Craigslist?

Why is it that they manage to get the bow up after turning around but don't tale any measures at all going out

[@jamesbillington5058]

I notice other drones flying above boats. Are they yours or another party operating them?

[@justwordme]

The first boat I’m not understanding what’s going on there. Big stability issues. Then the whole rear was so buried it appeared that the entire engines were under water. It’s not like anyone was worried and trying to bailout any water. So that doesn’t appear to be the issue.

I've been running boats for over 50 years and am amazed at the lack of skill and lack of respect of the vessels of some of these so called captains.

[@sniper7492]

Amazing how fast the bow comes up when everyone moves their butts to the back of the boat. Why any captain would have people sitting in the bow going through an inlet, especially one as rough as Haulover is boeyond me.

[@duanesamuelson2256]

Silly quest why was yhe blue boat entering the channel with his outriggers deployed?

[@TheCashman007]

What fish was that !?

[@mikepallazola]

Captain? No Trim, No throttle, no life jackets = No Clue! That Scout is a super nice boat, if he was in a lesser quality boat, they may have turned out differently

[@Zerobar78.]

They took on a ton of water into the hull and I do not see anything indicating a bilge pump running, he nearly sank/capsized that boat with all that water, on top of it looking like it was near capacity with passengers.

[@jeffrose5622]

What does that boat at 7:39 cost?

[@TEAM6USA]

That's a San Lorenzo SL120. It is about us$12 million a 2021 one.

[@potsy9973]

Dear, did you see where grandpa and little Jimmy got out?

[@jsully4064]

Definitely have to keep the bow up, motor trimmed up, no trimtabs. People riding in the bow in these conditions is a no no.

[@patrickwhelan5703]

Therapy IV needs a new captain....

[@samgentile7494]

Open bow vessels (bow riders) are at far, far, far greater risk of taking on water and sinking than are closed bow vessels in surf waves. It is every vessel's Captain who has the obligation, responsibility and duty to balance the passenger load in his vessel and to operate their vessel at a safe speed for the conditions on the water. The vessel was in danger of sinking in this video because the Skipper was totally clueless about safely operating his vessel.

[@Chris_de_S]

Boats generally do not sink Sam - but they do fill with water.

[@andyman8630]

they've got all this "auto" schidt on boats, inculding gyro stabilizers - why not a very fast "auto trim/tilt" to keep a nose up attitude regardless of the waves?

[@bravoaddictAnn]

That boat has too many people on it!! The captain should've known better..

[@BoatZone]

agree ;)

[@bdr5150]

Thats the problem. These clowns who owns these boats wont do anything different next time either. Ignorance is no excuse for not knowing.

[@billschafer9668]

The Scout captain should not have had people in the bow going out of the inlet especially in following seas. It was not about to sink, just unbalanced. Following seas are tough and not easy for novices and even experienced captains.
