THE WORST BOAT FAILS EVER FILMED AT HAULOVER INLET!! BOAT SINKING! | WAVY BOATS

[@e.s.5529]

it's not quantum mechanics... if it looks like the semi-final of the Hawaiian Tropic Surf competition can be conducted in the inlet ...call it. Otherwise don't go too fast don't go too slow, trim at 10% to 30%, stay off the bow going out and coming in, stay seated at all times, keep it below capacity, and put life jackets on for those that are vulnerable or children, it is not F-N complicated. G-ZUSS

Nothing says competent Captain better than your family and friends screaming in fear and pain as you ignore their cries for help.

[@rykehuss3435]

A competent captain would understand the limitations of his boat and not even go out in those conditions. Then again its Miami, you have better chance of winning the Power Ball than finding a competent pleasure boat captain there.

@@jpatt85 They are all clueless. 1. Letting people sit up front is a bad idea, they'll get thrown in the air and possibly injure themselves when they hit the deck. 2. No one is wearing a life jacket. If they get thrown int the air, hit their head then fall overboard, they could drown. 3. Going out into oncoming waves, the captains are going too fast and stuffing the boat into the waves, swamping their passengers and boat. 4. Coming back into port and you see captains 'overtaking' the wave in front of the boat. Bad idea. You can lose the ability to steer if you go through a wave that's going in the same direction as you are. They should travel about the same speed as the wave in front and only go through it once that waves breaks. When you catch up with the next wave, just repeat.

The boat had polystyrene under seats etc so it didn't sink to the bottom. We also had to wear a life jacket while leaving or returning to the beach through the surf. Great content. Good work.

i know it’s scary but sometimes you need to go faster in rougher water just get on top of the waves. it me a long time to get over the fear of going fast in rough water but once you find that speed and proper trim setting for the conditions it is so smooth

[@TehButterflyEffect]

You are correct, but most of the boats in this video are too small to do that with waves this big. The only one big enough was that 30' Norstar.

[@waynejohnstone3685]

Yeah the boats are too small. All they can really do is turn around lol. Or trim bow up and put everyone to the mid-back, and go slow. And adjust the angle of attack. Craziness.

[@TehButterflyEffect]

@@waynejohnstone3685 Trimming the bow up in rough water while going slow is the wrong thing to do. Just makes you porpoise even more. Gotta keep the trim down. Moving everyone to the back is correct though.

[@waynejohnstone3685]

@@TehButterflyEffect I meant at just above idle. Just enough to keep the bow of these bow riders up a bit. If it porpoises it’s trimmed too much. I agree with your point tho.

[@scottnunan4927]

Not really. There's a bunch of these vids with them going fast and the comments are all roasting him for trying to cripple his passengers. Definitely a couple could have used some speed but you aren't getting on plane with most boats through there on day like that. It seems the main culprit is trim and weight distribution in the front. Pretty much everyone who got in trouble stuffed the bow into a wave. As a Midwesterner the juice doesn't seem worth the squeeze. So what do you do once you get out to open water? Just drive around while sun fries you? Some of these barely even have somewhere to sit uncomfortably lol I mean I get the yacht thing....but a whaler if not fishing and deal with ramp and this? Gtfo lol

What people fail to realize is that these are not ocean waves.These are river waves from all the current flowing out of the cut, a completely different animal.

[@Justin-hz8bh]

So are you saying that the ocean waves are much worse? No attitude, just asking. 👍👍

[@mcriser]

@@Justin-hz8bh with ocean waves the energy moves and the water stands still. In a river wave, what rafters and kayakers call "standing waves" the water moves and the wave energy stays stationary. Watch the videos and the bad waves are always in the same spot, they have much steeper faces like breaking waves that surfers love. You don't see ocean boats in the surf for a reason. So ocean waves are much easier because the faces aren't so steep.

[@timjohnun4297]

Never been there but this is clearly a bar-way, where the incoming and outgoing currents dump sand at the mouth, making it shallow, causing ocean waves to stand up as they reach the sandbar. Only constant dredging can fix that

[@mikel9567]

You need to learn what you are talking about. There is no difference between "river waves" and "ocean waves". What you are referring to in a river is rapids. Rapids are formed by stationary objects in the water - hence why they don't move. Waves are formed by tidal forces and wind and current. These waves here are caused by tidal flow and the wind going opposite of the tide. Heading into the waves can cause a choppy ride if you don't know what your doing (like the idiots in this video). Going the same direction as the waves is called a following sea. It's usually smoother but if you aren't paying attention the wave can catch up to u and swamp your transom.

[@mcriser]

@@mikel9567 Well then answer me this, why are the bad waves at this cut in the exact place for every boat? Because the bottom features in the cut are causing standing waves just like in a river rapid. Watch multiple videos and the top wave is in the exact place every time. Please think before you comment, have a nice day.
