Rules I learned from this video... 1. Always have an anchor rigged and ready 2. Always have PFDs ready to don 3. Learn how to throw a line 4. Have the strongest cleats you can have and know how to tie off to them 5. Have Tow Boat USA policy 6. Forget all that and just buy a DGS Monster

Ad to your list; 1. Maintain your engine 2. Have a small backup outboard 3. Have a spare anchor with line ready to go not stowed below. 4. Have fenders ready to deploy, they are tougher than your leg, and far less expensive to destroy. 5 Some professional training is always good.

Amen, brother. I owned boats large and small most of my life and lived in Boca Raton. BEFORE I took friends out through Boca Inlet I instructed them on what not to do if we got into trouble. Thank God I never had a major problem but that may be because I maintained the boat and had all the "oh crap" equipment ready to use in a moment's need.

There was no mention of the number of adults and children who did drown because they didn't wear life jackets. When you see people with no life jackets who can't swim, launched from boats in big waves and fast currents like this spot, their chances of survival are minimal unless they are got to quickly. A small child would have no chance. Millions of people round the world need help keeping safe, as they don't have the awareness to do it themselves.

I have been in Eastern South Florida all my life. Born In Ft. Lauderdale grew up on Singer Island (NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY).My father bought me my is boat when I turned 13. The boat was a 15 ft. Rivera with a 50hp Mercury. Dad was not interested in fishing, however I was not permitted to take that boat anywhere until I passed the 8 week boating course. Of course the was done immediately and I was living the dream at 13. I never ran into any major problem. When I turned 16 he asked if I wanted a new boat or a car? That was a no brainier for me. I was blessed with a 20 ft. Grady White with a Mercury 150hp Black Max. By now we a huge dock with boat lift and everything 1/2 a mile from the Palm Beach inlet (Named on the charts a lake worth inlet). Yes my father was wealthy, but he wanted results after high school. So off to the military (Navy)i went. Since the Grady White I have had 6 boats since I sold the Grady in some where around 1980 , I am now 62 years old. Yes i had to pay for the last 6 boats i have owned. THE BOTTEM LINE AS I SEE IT DOWN HERE IS MANDITORY LICENSING AND AT LEAST HAVE A LICENSED BOAT CAPTIN .(COMERCIAL CAPTIN BE THE FINAL STEP IN THE LICENSING PROCESS.JUST LIKE automobile licensing. I never thought I would I would say this but it is incredibly insane down here.

I told them that ""TOY BOATS were TOWED BEHIND TOYOTAS & that if you were up under the deck of a Bayliner, you could SEE THE OUTILNE OF THE 4 FOOT NEON LAMP IN THE SHOP, probably not too good for standing on, especially if any one was over 200+ pounds in their group & another way to test the overall quality of a boat & its fixtures was to just go into the show room & grab onto the bow rail & try to pull yourself up & into the boat, IF THE RAIL CAME OFF, HAND IT TO THE SALESMAN & TELL HIM HIS PRODUCT SUCKS & ASK HIM HOW YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IN TO THE BOAT OUT ON THE WATER IF THE BOW RAIL BREAKS THAT EASY RIGHT HERE IN THE SHOW ROOM!!
