Midnight Express LOST Against Haulover Inlet | BOAT ZONE

Many of you asked for this video... here you go. This is a fine selection of the best clips filmed since 2018. We already published Deep Impact boats and Coast Guard boats. Which boat should be next? Boston Whaler vs Haulover - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHuupKCpiKqne7s

I'm not a boat captain or nothing, but I would really loved to know what is the proper protocol in the rough conditions to avoid stuffing the boat? Because some of the people are going at speed and it looks like they are trimmed up, but they are still stuffing the boat.

[@Toasty70CS]

Really shows you the bow design flaw when in big seas on those midnight express. Go fast boat for calm days...

[@mikearlington6748]

Agreed. The bow's freeboard is too shallow given the dimensions of the rest of the boat

These midnight express' look great but the downward slope of the bow along with little to no bow flare makes these things one giant water scoop. Lot's of other boats/designs i'd rather have in open water

In order to have a sleeker look, manufacturers leave the bow height too low. You can see exactly how dangerous it is ESPECIALLY ON OPEN BOW BOATS

[@potatokitty]

And they thicken the bow too, making wave cutting a nightmare.

[@travisfite6725]

I have no clue how you popped up in my suggestions but I'm glad you did. We just moved to the coast and are discussing getting a boat. Thanks to your videos, I'll make sure I don't wind up in the fail section of our local video Grapher(if we have one)

[@BoatZone]

Welcome Travis.

[@douglasbunn166]

Your phone tracks you

[@captjohn1124]

The problem is these boats have no bow flare, which results in very little lift at the bow. This is done intentionally to keep the bow down, but in rough conditions it makes stuffing the bow easy if the operator is inexperienced.

[@SethHollingshead]

Agreed. Idk alot about boats but I do know most those boats are not made for that style of water. And it shows how many stupid ppl are out there. It makes me nervous haha.

[@johnnyv1982]

I'm convinced that Midnight Express is giving their new owners special training in how to handle inlets like Haulover. First half of last year it seems like there were at least two Midnights every video trying to prove they were the worlds fastest submarine. This year not nearly as many, or so it seems to me anyway!

Retailers Make Very Little Selling Gas Generally, the markup (or “margin”) on a gallon of gas is about15 cents per gallon(gross profit before expenses). Factoring in expenses, which include rent, utilities, freight, labor and credit card fees, a retailer is left with about 2 cents per gallon in profit. I'm posting this for all the entrepreneurs out there that think they're going to get rich selling fuel.

I don't want to make light of this 'sport', or whatever it is, but if I had a boat and I was zipping in and out of this chop, YOU would be wearing a vest. Sorry, but it's just dumb to tempt fate like that. It's not a point of being bounced around a lot. It seems like people are sitting or standing kind of comfortably here. But the fact is, they're burning calories just to keep from spilling their Pepsi's.

[@AlienMetals]

I think the current trend of most boats 45' and under going with outboards has an adverse effect on ride. Notice how many boats coming thru the inlet have their props loose contact with the water and over rev. I/O's had their lower units lower in the water as well as distributing their engine wait towards the bow. I think the outboards are unable to get the proper bite in the water which negatively affects trim angle. Just a thought not based on science.

[@BoatZone]

"I think the outboards are unable to get the proper bite in the water which negatively affects trim angle." I think it's interesting...

Honestly if they would slow down about three mph and keep them in the water I think the motors would bite just fine.
