Those air and marine operations guys have the coolest boat by a long shot.

[@mordy704]

It's pretty impressive that despite some pretty bad weather there was maybe one or two bow stuffs. Just goes to show when you have the right training you make it look easy

[@OutnBacker]

That's because 1) you don't see a gang of drunk munkies up in the bow and 2) those RIBs don't dive like traditional solid hulls because they have the pontoon topsides that deflect water and serve to slow the drop. Almost impossible to capsize, too.

[@wickedcabinboy]

Things you never see these guys doing: failing to wear life jackets, allowing anyone to ride in the bow of the boat, pussyfooting around while entering or leaving the inlet, and best of all, stuffing the bow. In addition all passengers are either seated or standing firmly braced near the center line of the boat, abreast of or behind the operator. Amazing what you can learn from the pros.

[@cee5050]

Great video. I am surprised at how few of them are really set up for night operations. I expected them to all have FLIR , Night Vision equipment and major spot lights setups. Does that mean they only operate in daylight?

[@professormoptop]

Oh they operate at night! Don’t be fooled

[@BoatZone]

Thanks for watching!

[@dannyhoward3437]

Yes, only in day conditions. You’ll be safe running those square grouper at night. Trust me, amigo.

[@conorsmyth9963]

You don't need that equipment to run at night. If operating at night it's actually better to have 0 lights on (aside from navigation lights) so your eyes adjust to the darkness. As soon as you turn on a spotlight it ruins your night vision. Only time we'd turn on a spotlight is if we're searching for something along the shore or in the water. FLIR is helpful for searching in the dark but it doesn't do any good for navigating as it's too narrow of a view.

[@cee5050]

@@conorsmyth9963 Thank you for the response. (The only one which makes sense) Yes I understand that, but I would have thought that there would be plenty of occasions when that equipment would help. For example FLIR in SAR circumstances. In law enforcement to collect evidence or maybe just to pick up a small target. Also in night rescue when "on scene" to be able to flood the area with light. These are just some circumstances where I think it would improve the effectiveness of the Police Force/ Coast Guard etc.

[@Lb-bj6st]

Amazing what trimming the gene properly and throttle adjustments can do the prevent a boat from nosing straight in a big wave.

[@timpeter5913]

I live in Washington State where there are a lot of boats. I occasionally see two outboards on a boat, but I don't think I have ever seen more than that unless it was a small trolling motor. Why is it that in Florida so many of the boats have four and sometimes more big outboards?
