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 😂

Pontoon boats should be heavily fined in that location by the US Coast Guard. Pontoon boats are for placid lakes; they are NOT designed for ANY wave action, and should be ILLEGAL in open water.

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...

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.

[@richardkeeling5821]

he was going too slow, getting caught up between each set and subsequently was wallowing about, a few knots faster and he would have cruised through

The Intrepid with twin 250's. Just wallowing in the waves. When going with the waves, get on the back of a wave and stay there. He kept falling back, allowing the wave behind to catch him. It seems like most of the people in Haulover either have boats so big that it doesn't matter, or they have no clue.

[@lucym9369]

No way! Pontoon boats are for calmer waters like lakes and rivers or if the ocean is very calm.😮

[@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...

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.

[@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.
