Know someone from Chicago who used to fly down to South Beach, Miami on Thursday nights and run Cigarette Boats all weekend and then fly back Sunday night. He said they were $25,000-$35,000 weekends! While he can no longer do it today, he sure has LIVED!!! Oh, he also has tried harder, worked harder, worked smarter and has been willing to risk more than most. There is a “cost” for everything. Keep up the quality work.
Didn’t sink it, just soaked every person and all their belongings really good. You’d think any boat costing 1.3M would have some really GREAT scuppers. That water will drain right out. They didn’t really expect to stay dry now, did they?
4 and 5 engines becoming the norm it seems down there. Soooo much money on display. I really need to reevaluate my friends who only have two engines. Time to step it up.
LOL, where have your priorities been man. I suppose you put your kids through college so they are not swamped in student loan debt, did NOT give your house back to the bank in the 08 crash, and don’t have massive credit card debt. I just do not understand you two-engine types.

Thank you! Thank you very much. Grew up on 1876 SW 17th terrace and as much as I love Miami and Haulover I also enjoy South Florida eye candy so throwing in 10 seconds worth of it is appreciated. Nothing overly blatant or sexist and WTH I'm guessing she bought her own bathing suit. That 10 seconds of viewing pleasure could really increase your subs. We are just simple folk.
One of your vids just happened to be in my feed the other day I said why not one vid and was hooked straight subscribed been here everyday love it 💯 cause hey even the down time on the up 💯🔥
I like the seasick iridescent "green in the gills" skiff that after the 3rd stuffin SLOOOWED way down, all that power hanging on the transom might be better suited for a snorkle and conning tower.
Some of them boats at the end of the vid really wanted to be submarines just like all the people aboard them wanted to be dry. Once again good job. Thanks
Greenie did a cool stuff. That was not just a little bit of water splashed aboard. It was definitely enough to get their attention. I bet that was a high point of their day. Not often do those big center consoles play like a jet ski and Bayliner Jazz.
You probably had this question more then once, but how much current is there? Like how many knots? I never see any regular sailboat or motor yacht. Are they not able to enter the harbor due to the strong current?
PressTube Smart boaters read the tide charts and time their entry and exit around them. The idiots you see failing are doing so at exactly the worst times, at full flood or ebb. Either side of slack tide is best, but they have no experience and get the shit beat out of them.
I understand why the center consoles are so popular now, being more practical, reliable, more roomy and just as fast...but IMO they'll never look as cool as the cigarette type boats.
I've watched so many of these videos and two things stand out. Everyone has more engine than boat and NO one knows how to work the throttle. Oh and they have never seen a lifejacket let alone worn one.
Not all planning hulls are created equal otherwise why would Mfg. bother to boast of hull design There are planning hulls that just won’t stand out of the water like others. Even the slightest alteration to the chine can sometimes serve to increase speed without adding more power.@@thebigmacd
@@RC-wb7od for a given hull, power and prop are the limiting factors to speed. It still has nothing to do with "hull speed", which doesn't apply to planing hulls and even with displacement hulls is not actually a maximum speed that can't be overcome with power. My point stands.
What does "stuffing" mean? Also, I see many boats with what looks a roll of foam tied onto the back of the boat - what is that? And what is it used for? Thanks....
I have a great name for you next video "Happy Thanksgiving - What "Stuffing" is all about". And put together all the boats you have caught stuffing the bow like that 43' Midnight Express. That was a great catch especially in slow mo!
If only it were a yellowfin... They'd have been able to hit that exactly the same and not stuffed the bow. Watch the yellowfins when you see them in these videos. That specific hull shape, the flare.. WAY more reserve buoyancy than most of the other clown shoe sized center consoles.
This channel has another video called Big Mistake in a Choppy Day. At 1:47, there's a black Yellowfin cutting through the waves like butter. Yellowfins have by far the best hull design for rough seas.
You have excellent footage. Your captions. angles and the slow mo's are a thrill and the ASS breaks are spectacular lol. Also the resolution is fantastic visually on a 65 & 75 LED is breath taking seeing some of these rigs. Take it further and capture some closeups of captains on the Yachts and the CC... unless thats an legal issue?
Fulcrum Fulcrum so by your logic if you own a grand piano that automatically makes you a concert pianist? Just because you are an expert at one thing in life that does not translate in to every other aspect of life.
These Midnight Express's constantly keep stuffing their bows in these videos. Lowsy design with a very low front, all it is good for is looking pretty at the marina.
I love these videos! My boat just cracked the block and now I watch this channel! #Mainer with 4000 plus hours driving boats, since I was 5 years old. I hate the captain title. I think it is lame. No offense to the boating community.
The current does exist. Depends on the tidal stream...Springs Neaps, ebb or flood. You can see the rate is about 5 knots, either direction, if you spend too much time watching all of these vids (like me). Then if the wind is strong enough and blowing against the flow, you get even bigger waves.
Nice camera work. As far as that 43' M.E. spearing a wave, not to surprising. You can tell the hull was designed for speed. I've never been to keen on their lines, especially the way the bow swoops down. I would bet in rough water taking one over the front isn't exactly a rare event.
I wonder what those hole beneath the bow is for. And i love that black cat with high bow just swallow the waves. Seems like its more stable than a sports cat with low bow
You FL boys with mandatory quads or even quints? Come on now, 2 max and you're still pushing it for channel creeping and nearshore shenanigans. BTW that Freeman killed it.
As far as sinking, if you ever had a wall of water come over the bow of your boat you would swear that you were going to sink. From the look of haul over inlet it looks like a lot of water goes in and out with the tides. If you have ever hit a hydraulic with your boat there is almost no way of avoiding water over the bow. The 1.3 million dollar boat I do not know about.
Being an outboard guy sure like them outboard cat speed boats. Them Nor-Techs just don't do anything for me personally. I want to fish or haul ass. And to fish I want a Freeman.
With that kind of investment I wouldn’t subject my boat to a beating , I am sure it’s doing structural damage on the inside of the hull you can’t see !

I could sit and watch these boats go out all day. Its mesmerizing.
And the sound of the water is like being back in the womb.😂

You know, I've been watching your vids for a while now, and always wonder, "do they just think the trim & tilt button is just for trailering? " LoL 😂
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Back in my day sonny, we had one 30 hp out board and liked it. Mercury announces 12 cylinder 600's with two speed gear box. 😲
Wow, little trim goes a long way...haha damn . That blue Nor Tech, absolutely insane..No other boat wears that blue better.. absolutely gorgeous
EPIC STUFF!
I remember the days when having 3 outboard engines was impressive.
My eyes get a bit watery when I see two 250s up in New England, ya get none of this stuff in my parts. All fishing boats.
@Sam Jones Can't out run the radio though!!
and now you have 5 and 2,000 hp!
@@AndrexT I’ve seen 6 and 2400hp. It’s only a matter of time before someone puts 6 of the 600hp v12s on surely?
That double cheeked Donzi was pretty nice. Very smooth finish and no barnacle damage......
One of your vids just happened to be in my feed the other day I said why not one vid and was hooked straight subscribed been here everyday love it 💯 cause hey even the down time on the up 💯🔥
that wasnt even close to sinking lol. looks like a good way to end the poker run if u ask me
So this is how rich boy's play. If you all ever need a friend. I'm here for you. I can dig this.
I am with you on that!!!
3:28... the moment he wants a bigger boat haha
Awesome camera work! Love the silver boat near the start, and the lime green boat near the end.

I don’t know,but I think it must be three or four knots,at least
up to 7 knots that I have witnessed it can send you backwards if you are idling through
It's hilarious when people admit they have no idea but then throw out a number anyway... lol
Just 🤷🏻♂️ why's it so rough.
You never think "I wonder if I see my Professor in one of these boats", now do you.
Your professor can’t afford one
Yeah you never wonder if it's your plumber either. What's your point?
Great shots of beautiful boats! The slow-mo Freeman, wooow. Excellent work! Thanks!
10:22 is how I want to challenge Haulover.
Indeed! One does take the risk of spilling one's gin & tonic though...
I understand why the center consoles are so popular now, being more practical, reliable, more roomy and just as fast...but IMO they'll never look as cool as the cigarette type boats.

I've watched so many of these videos and two things stand out. Everyone has more engine than boat and NO one knows how to work the throttle. Oh and they have never seen a lifejacket let alone worn one.
@William thanks for being here 👍🏻
Every boat has a max hull speed so for some it's all for looks or for a dealer $
@@RC-wb7od "hull speed" is not a maximum speed. Plus, planing hulls don't have a hull speed when on a plane. Power and prop are the limiting factors.

Bloody hell I’ve watched quite a few of these videos over the last few days and think it’s the first time I’ve seen that at all.
What does "stuffing" mean? Also, I see many boats with what looks a roll of foam tied onto the back of the boat - what is that? And what is it used for? Thanks....
I dunno what's better the awesome boats or laughing at all the hater comments.
Midnight Express WHO'S THE U-BOAT COMMANDER.
Nice line from risky business when he takes the submerged 928 to the dealer to be fixed
I see no one in these boats wearing life jackets: pretty dumb of boat owners to take that risk for self and passengers.
No but plenty of beer.
Another thing I've noticed is the first thing they do after a stuffing is kill throttle! Aaa wrong answer! And still no trimming it!!
Here in Australia it's illegal to go through any entrance without wearing lifejackets. Big Fines and this video shows why.
You guys in Australia aren’t allowed to do much period.
Why did somebody drown ? This isn't Australia mate.
perhaps,you meant “
Full of People”?,andI didn’t see anything close to sinking. I saw a magnificent boat performing well in her native habitat
Thats not performing well. It's a shitty hull design.
Those are some amazing boats 👍👍
Those Freeman's are a work of art 🤙
2:10 jigglejigglejigglejigglejigglejigglejiggle
Thanks for including some jiggles in your vids
I love that green one. It's all fun and games until you're takin on a ton of water. Ha ha. He cooled his jets, didn't he.
I have a great name for you next video "Happy Thanksgiving - What "Stuffing" is all about". And put together all the boats you have caught stuffing the bow like that 43' Midnight Express. That was a great catch especially in slow mo!
Which boat has the smoothest hull? I like the twin-hull with a high bow, some of those long hulls nose dive too much.
Another great video!
Now that my friends was entertainment very nice video 😎👍👍
Thanks

@@Herb...StateChamps just because someone drives a boat one time, it does not make them a captain.
In the repair business, we say the timing is Advanced but the drivers retarded...
It’s amazing that all the boats that submarine are Bayliner boats named midnight express. These are Bay boats and have no business being in the ocean.
Bro, stop. You're making yourself look foolish.
These Midnight Express's constantly keep stuffing their bows in these videos. Lowsy design with a very low front, all it is good for is looking pretty at the marina.
some of your best work, great vid
Good boat hull testing information. Guys drinking beer on freeman! Just another day. Awesome
Damn alot of money worth of boats in 1 video!!!! I would love to just go for a ride in one of these!
Wow what a wonderful lifestyle they live in,,
The Skater`s and small MTI`s handle the rough stuff better than the big OL haha
Thank you for the gratuitous shot at 2:14.
Beautiful shots today
Thank you!
perfect example of how to drive to suit conditions and of how to take advantage of the hull design was the FJ propeller design boat..
That ruined a few cell phones LOL

15:44 Great sinking. I think you mean How to Submarine a boat full of people.
2:10 here's a moon to your dreams of seeing a sinking boat
I think it should be "10 people on board" not "in" board. Sorry for the correction, however I am kind of a grammar nut. Great content!
ty, done
Aboard
Did you notice the "e" is left out in people on the thumbnail?
2:10 Very Nice the boats were kinda cool too 😁
Please tell us the make and model of these boats, some of these are stunningly beautiful.....thanks
You can check other videos with this info. Thx
Love it !
2:14 amazing camera work, that looked so good
Would have been cool to see the Navy’s old hydrofoil tear that up at 50knots.
Bad ass Freeman !
My Bullet bass boat is unlimited horsepower, it has a 225 XS with sportmaster lower unit, 85mph GPS I wonder if it could handle a 400R on the back! 😏

Whoa outstanding video!!! Beach looking real Good!!! What a day :o)
7 people on a bow rider ..not clever its bound to be a submarine.
WOW, folks wearing PFD .................what a concept!
I thought to idea of getting a bigger and bigger boat was to stay drier and drier.
What is the all silver v hull at 1:45 super smooth .they showed it again at 5:45. ?
akane742 I think it's a Cigarette. Beautiful boat
Can somebody explain to me which boat ALMOST SUNK!!??? Do you mean the grean one that splashed his crew a little?
Great vid, what camera do you use,thanks for sharing
Panasonic cx350
That was definitely the biggest stuff I’ve seen a larger boat do I’ll bet there were some drawers that needed changing on that boat for sure
Same here🤭
That one guy looked like he was beeotching the pilot out
I wonder how much longer the Midnight Express would've lasted before turning into a submarine ?
Reggie would not approve of that fountain idling out
As far as sinking, if you ever had a wall of water come over the bow of your boat you would swear that you were going to sink.

Why would someone choose to go out in the water with all those white caps?

With that kind of investment I wouldn’t subject my boat to a beating , I am sure it’s doing structural damage on the inside of the hull you can’t see !
Man... that's what I was thinking Chihuahua. Coming down flat between the waves has got to do some damage.
5 outboards??? Must be compensating for something tiny.
I'm sold on the lime green boat! But it would have to be electric blue and black!
Gotta love a Nor-tech
QUESTION...Should your trim tabs be all the way in the UP position or DOWN and why? Thx
