I'd take a 15' whaler through, but not a pontoon boat.

they'll bring you back pretty much but they all beat the hell out of you even the mega Dollar ones

[@lovejetfuel4071]

It doesn't take being a rocket scientist to understand that pontoon boats are not designed for this kind of wave action

[@Sgaming957]

And he’s not even trimming the motor the right way

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

But if you do get caught on a lake/sea/inlet or with the wind causing such large waves..... Get everyone back to behind or beside the helm position and let the bow rise up OVER the waves..... trim the engine as much as possible (but hey 90hp on a long pontoon it isn't going to affect trim very much.. and everyone puts on lifejackets... pontoons can break up...

[@Carl_McMelvin]

wtf was that dude doing. Go stand in the BACK. Not the front. 😂 🤦‍♂️

[@kevinnowak5067]

Yes instead of trim up, weight in back he goes to the front. You can see he thinks the black door skin is the reason for the water. Pontoon is going to ride low but having empty seats in the back no sense 😂

[@DH-wr7rw]

That front panel came loose letting in more water, he was trying to hold it in place.

[@thelongs5698]

I guess if you really dislike your family then a spin through Haulover on a pontoon may be for you.

[@BigmanHaus]

Pontoon: - Unavoidable stuffing - BUT would be much less if: - everyone was in the back - engine trim up - Bit more throttle

[@Alex-iy8fo]

Man, I was super impressed with the Intrepid at 8:53. So many of these boats try to go so fast thinking speed is the answer, but they did a good job being patient and going a good speed for as rough as those seas were. They did go a little slow, but it definitely got the job done without crashing the waves and hurting passengers.

[@jttech44]

For 4th of july, and other holidays, they should just station a cop at the bridge for the sole purpose of writing pontoon boat captain's tickets and sending them back to the channel.

[@jeffsim8664]

Guy with the island hopper .. open bow . Not a drop inside knows whats hes doing.. Always fun watching a pontoon trying to navigate.. guy told me once they are unsinkable. I saw one floating upside down one time. Guess the guy was right they are unsinkable.

[@mcpo_frankzupan]

The main thing is the boat fenders! The boat fenders most likely saved their lives! LOL😅

[@cakekomo]

Love the theme. Like a modern Miami Vice theme or something.

[@baloroh87]

You think those people on the pontoon were thinking "great, our sinking/drowning will also be on youtube"? 😂

[@madhatter2465]

The Intrepid Captain is knowledgeable on his boating skills.

[@johnm4461]

The pontoon stuffing is totally captain error. In rough water, the weight needs to be in the back and the engine needs to be trimmed UP to keep the front of the boat high. He had more weight up front and it appeared the engine was trimmed DOWN. While pontoons (and other lake boats) are not ideal for rough water, that particular stuffing was totally preventable.

[@robertmorris8997]

Completely ignore what looks like a sinking boat?

[@blackwolf590]

Yeah i find it strange maybe suspicious that he didn’t mention it on screen and the boat that is sinking had sunk when that idiot boater speeding through could’ve hit it and the police and boaters are all chatting and not cordoning the area so boats don’t hit it. All those people police cubans down there don’t care about safety. They don’t care about rules until someone dies and it still doesn’t affect their minds cause they keep doing it. Maybe rescuers shouldn’t help them because these idiots are putting them in danger so leave them be and majority will then see you do stupid stuff ignores the law that what will happen to you and others that you put in danger.

[@Gourockian1]

Yep, it appeared in two separate clips but no mention of it. Somebody missed the boat🤔😄

Do understand that waverunners are way, way more powerful nowadays than they were back then, so it's very easy to get yourself into trouble if you don't know what you're doing.

"Lets take my lake bow rider through the inlet" 😂

Dusky. Like buttah! Following sea, I think? And Pontoons? NFW. On the Intrepid... I guess he did OK, but he was kinda threading the needle there. I would have expected more speed, but he seemed to navigate it pretty well. That police boat was badass.

[@dochollidaymgtow]

question always is, why most captains have bow trimmed flat or down going into waves??

[@rolop847]

Because they don't know what the hell they're doing they should not be driving through that inlet unless they've had a course and they know what they're doing these people shouldn't walk and talk at the same time it might be too hard on their little brains

[@johnmartlew5897]

4:51 How close his head came to the windshield frame. Camera angle? Maybe. Any part hitting with that force would be nasty.

[@john3Lee]

It always amazes me how those multi engined outboard motors don't crack the transom clean off some of these boats ?

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

@@rolop847 There are three types of boat powerplants: Inboard Outboard Overboard.....

[@streetrodder06]

Here in Missouri at Lake of the Ozarks, the overwhelming majority of us had Tri-toons which are far and away superior to Pontoons. That 3rd/center toon makes a world of difference in keeping the boat above the waterline and handles rough water way better. Even still: won't see too many tri-toons out on the busier weekends, because the water is just too choppy. Can't even imagine taking a pontoon which is barely suitable for a pretty calm lake on most days into Haulover. That's a suicide mission if I ever seen one...

[@frankt6906]

Pontoon boats are great but in most cases underpowered for a rough day at Haulover
