Vintage footage of MIAMI IN THE 80’s 🚤💨

[@Sutcliffe371]

Fast boats, fast cars, fast women and mullets, the 80s were the best of times

[@jcjc9155]

Meh a little rose tented glasses. I dont recall any off the car lot 200 mph cars that everyday drivers could afford back then or any time. Other 3 things are acurate

[@GiordanDiodato]

don't forget the cocaine, threats of nuclear annihilation, and a President that thought that ketchup was a vegetable.

[@dr.woozie7500]

mullets were always ugly sorry

[@xxxxxx4288]

and cocaine :)

[@xSwaii]

Don’t forget the angel dust

[@balncobra]

Offshore racing has never been the same since. Just a whole different vibe back then….legends.

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

Yeah for sure!! Totally loving it and having the time of their lives doing it!

[@97VobraOwner]

Don Johnson, Chuck Norris, Curt Russel, Miami Offshore racing... like a damn dream. Man how fricking badass could it get??? Great video man.

[@BeardMan01]

Damn, I miss the 80's and 90's. Truly the best decades our country has ever seen. We definitely went backwards.

[@michaelgarner6789]

How fucking badass was this to watch in the day! Man how time has changed.....Look at the Miami skyline back then.

[@PyrosPelagics]

wow, good days. miss those days, love the atmospheres, the clothes, the glamour, the music movies and vehicles/boats. imagine havine so much money and giving opportunities to so many people to where your insurance wont let you do anything just to keep you safe and secure lol

[@PETER-rj4he]

These were so beautiful times...😎

[@Blakeblakeblakeblake]

you can feel the coke and freedom flowing in this video, wish i was born back then

[@livintheislandlife7561]

That was the luxury of the 80s

[@jimmyevery2938]

That's a cool video man.... I live near New Orleans and I remember as a kid my Dad bringing me to Al Copeland's showroom where he had some of his boats.... Really cool to see this. Thanks for the video. Keep it up!!

[@cajunwarrior47]

When i was a kid i use to love going to nola and passing by his show room and seeing all his cool toys also

[@tonychavez2083]

Ahhh.. these are the days I remember.

[@kevinchapman334]

They need to bring this back, I was born in 86, just missed it

[@208miuwu]

When Racing was Racing.

[@jeffh5886]

Wow, 🤯👀 Chuck Norris, Don Johnson and Curt Russell...dayumm. that's crazy. I forgot Popeyes actually used the Popeye image back in the day. Thanks for the nostalgia.

[@thesoutheastprincess]

I like what the guy said in the beginning “I want to be rich but humble”

[@southbound141]

I still enjoy watching offshore powerboat racing

[@zman0894]

I wish they’d bring my back boat racing

[@sambuvca22]

Always a pleasure to hear Art Eckmans voice

[@jasonups5386]

Good ole days in Miami

[@500_niko]

We need more footage like this!!!! 🔥🔥🫡

[@karaDee2363]

Thanks for posting the video! It brings back lots of memories of the offshore racing I used to love.

[@tonyaction5284]

Memories!’🥲 Of only I could re-live these days.🙏🏼😔

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

AWESOME video, thanks for putting it up!! This, along with the old Mod-Vp days of the early 80's through probably the early 90's are absolutely some of THE BEST boat racing ever!! **I'd you have any of the Mod-Vp racing, with the Laser 380 and LTV models, the Hydrostream boats, the amazing STV and mirage tunnel boat's and of course the Talon and Eliminator tunnels that would be super AMAZING to be able to watch too!!! Thank you again Brother!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@TTTR1GGER]

Great throwback video Sorry the 80s were the best,reminds me of my 1989 Chaparral Villian wearing my Oakley Blades,every Sunday on the Tennesse river! Thanks for the memories

[@Lionty01]

Alvin Copeland Chuck Norris Don Johnson and the best powerboats from the 80's. It was simply too much to handle that I had to subscribe to your channel. Salud from Montreal Canada✊🏿

[@boatvibes]

Welcome to the channel 😎🤙🏼

[@theGovnr1]

This was actually the 1990 OPT Miami offshore Grand Prix

[@shawnmalcolm8857]

Definitely down for more videos like this!

[@stewartarmstrong7567]

Ohh yeah that brought back some great memories of the Pacific 1000 in Australia my brother and I used to follow as kids. Good stuff man. 💪😊🤙. 🚤🌊.

[@smooth_ops2942]

They had 3 helicopters flying within a 200ft circle... Wild days these were.

[@jorgeleal7330]

Was there that day great race

[@corey5505]

Called pure freedoms before gov regulation controlled the world

[@perpetualmotion357]

Nam pilots

[@kennethmcglashan3333]

It's amazing the advancement of technology . These high performance race boats were doing a hundred and two miles per hour which is nothing with todays boats.

[@wildliferanch3665]

Back when the Hollywood stars had a pair lol.

[@Donker_Dank]

I love Vice City

[@comatosofico]

“I want to be rich but humble” says the man with purple ray-ban lenses on a yacht in Miami

[@oraclejmt]

1:38 Peter North 🤣

[@alexa8826]

You, just like me, were born in the wrong era! Love your content brother, keep ‘em coming!! 👍🚤💨

[@mxstylie312]

wow amazing video

[@luisfont6468]

Those were the days!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@vicbittertoo]

fck yeah, more 80s stuff for sure :):):)

[@jeffbryner5355]

Now across the world you too can sit in Popeyes long ass lines for that spicy chicken sandwich and mediocre fries lol

[@livintheislandlife7561]

Im gonna send you a video of racing back in 1997 here in the Bahamas

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

You wouldn't happen to have any Mod-Vp racing would you!?! That is the absolute best class for the every day boaters that just put their mind's and hard work into it! **It did get a little bit more about who had the biggest pockets towards the end I guess but it sure seemed like anyone could be competitive with some hard work and dedication without having to be a millionaire for the most part!

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

**And thank you, I'd love to see that Bahamas race too for sure!!

[@livintheislandlife7561]

@@BabyCharlotteschannel do you have an IG? And are you on FB?

[@dougdayboll4424]

Ahh memories of days gone by

[@jcjc9155]

Did your dad use to compete in these big races back then? Best i know is he sells boats now? Apologies im not a long time follower. So i dont know much if you have said anything in other videos.

[@juanaraujo4451]

Bro where the hell did you find this!!!

[@theGovnr1]

Its from the channel named Offshore Vintage, at least that's where I have seen it before

[@jimmybandzz]

Wait is the same Popeyes like fast food chain Popeyes?

[@fazriseal1871]

1:51 salute

[@63melvyn]

Missing your videos my friend …what you been up to ?

[@cosmic687]

love kurt

[@MontrealNorth]

Good God

[@truzup330]

You can't make this movie up, a fully star studded caste playing themselves no stuntmen or doubles big brother back in the day ✌😆👍

[@good2know606]

Where is Reggie Fountain?

[@theGovnr1]

Reggie didn't start becoming famous until a couple of years after this

[@frankbartoszak7637]

In the 80s miami was dodge city dope dealers crooked cops and guns everywhere, i know, I lived it ,some of the real life stories of miami was to strange even for miami vice

[@chakkachewy8905]

Who’s dinner was that, Popeyes and Diet Coke?

[@chakkachewy8905]

Florida used to be really cool now it’s just over priced buildings that take away the true beauty.

[@nated9075]

Was Popeyes built on coke money? 🤔

[@JeanCeron-zs2go]

My god that's how don Johnson clean up all that money 😂😂😂😂

[@harbek2000]

Too bad they didn't interview Popeyes workers and dig into how many 'toys' they owned. You would have seen the difference between management and employee. Guarantee the owner's toy's were also tax write offs... which to qualify would make his toy's available to all employees - since they were bought for company use.

[@queenslander954]

Don Johnson talked about this boat on letterman , Trump had asked to sponsor the boat so Johnson said yes & got ‘Trump’ plastered on the sides , but of course Trump stiffed him on the payment , Johnson was bleeding & scraped it off.

[@MauofMiami]

That's not correct
