good stuffins.... what about taking videos and editing them by boat makers, like a video of all midnight expresses, axopars, we look for stuffing if before they buy.
I am not a boat owner, therefore I have a question. When returning, could a skipper just adjust throttles to match the wave speed and kinda "surf" in such as the one at 2:49?
Freeman is tops and the small Boston Whaler is best in it's class. I do have to admit that the Custom Craft was surprisingly good for it's size in those conditions.
If you find yourself out in 3-5ft seas in a smaller boat & can trim the motors, moving the lower unit out an inch or 2 can put the bow up just enough not to take on serious water but IDKnow if they can do this? On flat water I'd trim mine "IN" so the bow is closer to the surface & not so high but in waves you need the bow high enough to stay dry? OR get "STUFF'd"...... peace
Most of these boats are large enough and designed to take it, but some of them are more like a motorized bathtub. + there are some really unqualified "skippers" too. No PFDs, etc.
@7:50 ish.. the Sea Vee cap is spot on. The Pause, read, push is strong with this one! And ya, that Custom Craft guy's a beast. I am surprised to not see any old Grady White 25 or 28 hulls. We worked with them pretty hard in the early 2000's, and they were easy to find in Fla. I'm also impressed with what I see from the Contender hull designs coming out on these vids.
And then I see a Grady White for the first time in a while, and it just blows right through. I think that was a solid hull design, but dated, vs what the Contender seems to be able to accomplish without the foredeck.
Those older Grady-Whites were full of foam and wood core. Most of them have rotted away at this point. They are well designed but intolerant of any kind of neglect. I looked at several when I was used boat shopping. All of them had soft spots in the decks and/or transom.
its like motocross the faster you go the less deep you go in valleys unless you do not go fast enough then you hit the next ridge and few can go that fast... the bext angle is not straight on for most but to take the waves at an angle
At 4mins, the Custom Craft boat has no business going out today..... lmao, it's such a low profile boat hull that 3-5ft seas are easily enough to put her under but they went anyways.... good luck, be safe!
So you caught these 2 coming back into the Inlet & while I didn't see him take on any serious "stuffing" you know that type boat couldn't have any real fun under those conditions. This vessel really looks like it's for land-locked lakes & not for the open waters but hey, IT's his to do as he pleases. peace
I must admit that watching these boats not coping with quite low waves fills me with horror clearly they are not safe especially with open bows and all the weight mainly at the rear . Also the weekend show off is liable to come a cropper . I would imagine that lifejackets are an afterthought and a quick change in weather conditions with an overloaded boat on a sunny day could spell disaster
Yeah being zoomed in on camera the conditions look worse than they are but why would anyone in a samll boat be heading out when all you see is white caps all the way to the horizon.
I go boating now and then, not a professional, and I don't attempt those outlets when it's like that. But let's say I was stupid enough to....do I just go fast enough to keep my bow up out of the water? and go straight on to the waves? Don't let them hit me sideways....
When I would go out fishing if my life jacket was not on I was sitting on it. And if I saw offshore white caps I went home. I was just on the Great Lakes not the ocean though.
Can someone tell me what is so important in the ocean on a day like this? But like many have said before most have no clue on how to use a boat. And have no idea what to do. Or maybe it's a new thing see how much sea water you can get in the boat without it SINKING!
I see a lot of people commenting have the same thoughts I’ve had for awhile now - open bow boats aren’t the best choice except for lakes, and even then, on calm days. Just went to a major boat show recently and there were very few traditional closed bow bow - most were open, even in the larger sizes. Virtually no space below - not even an enclosed head. This may be cool for Florida I guess but for cooler climates, and on the Great Lakes, these boats just don’t make sense.
@@theoldculture216 If you’re on Michigan then you know how quickly the weather changes, especially if you’re on the west side of the lake. At least on the east side you might have time to run for cover. With an open bow, there’s not as much a margin for error. Watching these videos it’s apparent a lot of these folks with open bows either don’t take into consideration or don’t care about weather conditions.
Just read an old Playboy magazine yesterday. One of their issues with boats being featured. The name back in the day for the little cabins in the go fast boats? (The Cigarettes, Scarab, etc) They called it a "stabbin cabin!" The little berth, that obviously isn't meant to sleep on? Hahahaha!
I have a 21-ft Sea Ray, don't think I would brave it in those conditions. Thank God in Southern California, we typically don't experience this type of conditions exiting or entering into our harbors. Unless of course there is a big storm. My Sea Ray and I have been in some fairly nice swells and white caps and it handles it well but looking at some of these U-boat commanders, I'm parking my happy ass in the harbor.
2:06 to 2:22, you see the guy heading out. What's going on with engines? You can see them bouncing around. Is he shifting to reverse, hitting bottom, hitting something in the water, or something else going on?
That Formula was more than big enough for the seas, but I'm not a fan of bow riders. Should have the ability to self bail. It was rough but doable. I'd go out in it, but for most, it wouldn't be fun.
Really awesome. Nearly none of these captains are able to handle these situations. Don't they have any education to drive a boat under such conditions? They should know, that a bowrider ist no good choice in these waves, even a closed boat ist in danger.
How dare you claim almost any of these people a "Captain'... Just because you have the $$$$ to buy whatever hull tickles your fancy, DOES NOT make you competent....
I also don't understand it. They don't have fishing rods, so they're not going to fish. I don't think it's because of the cameras, this boat traffic has been like this for years. Maybe it's the adrenaline of the unexpected
Other side of the coin, the boats are in a somewhat controlled environment, nice learning opportunities. Rather learn how to mange the conditions on terms rather than being caught off guard with no experience. You don’t get experience being a fair weather sailor. One gets accused of being a “credit card” captain.
Im addicted to this channel. I'd like to know how a Wellcraft Excaliber 45 would fare when the inlet is extra rough?? That boat is LONG and ass heavy. Anyone know?
I'm sorry, the guys in that little mastercraft, taking it out into a washing machine is just plain stupid. Bury the bow and that thing and you are going down... I remember the first time I drank and drove a boat lol. Make sure your vessel assist and your insurance policy are paid in full lol
Most bowriders (and small boats in general) don't go offshore. They cruise down the beach drinking beer. Its not like a CC is any safer. Going offshore means being aware of the weather. A big squall can sink almost any boat of its handled poorly. Waves get nastier in shallow water so you don't have to be a long way out either.
Have to laugh at the channel describing these boat drivers as "captains". A captain is a trained seamen who understands waves, tides, weather, boat handling and half a hundred other skills. These are boat drivers who just happen to have enough money to buy a boat. Little if any training and little if any common sense.
Having gone through the academy to be a "Captain" and still working as a Merchant Marine since '86, it does piss me off a bit that any dick head with a 21' Bayliner can call themselves a Captain. But most end up learning the hard way.
Is anykind of formation or lisence required there for driving those boats? Did they pass anykind of examination? And .... Isn't there anykind of port authority engaged on safety ? No security speed, no livesaving aids, conditions over boat design certification, ....... I'm quite surprised :-o

They were both wearing life jackets, too. I don't think I've seen anyone in a boat wearing them.
The Custom Craft guy never took a mis-step. Excellent skills.
That’s called being lucky 🤪
But foolish.
What a thing of beauty that Contender is @ 20:56. Proper boat for the conditions and that location, I'd say. Sweet boat- well piloted.
Agreed. If they were all like that we wouldn't be here 😂
Custom craft guy knows his waves pretty well. They got wet, but had pfds

Well, if you go out in these conditions with a bowrider Tupperware boat, you deserve what's coming to ya!
A Formula is tupperware? Let's call it what it is which is a moron at the helm that thought the skill to drive it was included in the purchase price.
If my family were aboard in that kind of seas, "EVERY PERSON BOARD WOULD HAVE LIFE JACKETS ON, AND I, WOULD BE HEADED BACK TO DOCK TO CALL IT A DAY!!!
While this is rough, nothing beats cape horn, or the mouth of the columbia being known as "the graveyard of the pacific"
That little Custom Craft was handling the waves like a Boston Whaler. I was a bit surprised.
small but efficient!

@@edwardranno7119 I thought he was as well, but it was doing very well out there, bouncing up and down without stuffing.

Too much speed. And trim too down? I’m guessing as I only have driven boats on calmer lakes
Everyone should be wearing a PFD on a boat in these kinds of waves
I noticed that both people in the Custom Craft were wearing them.
@@vapoet very nice boats
Is this particular inlet like this 24/7/365? Are there others like it?
you know it’s too rough when the waves are bigger than your boat. stay home or go elsewhere to boat which conditions might be better.

Crazy how so many people take lake or bay boats offshore .
Is there some magical sheltered island beach off the coast that this people are heading too? Otherwise why go out? Also, no life jackets is just nuts.
Is there anything fun to do once you get out there or do you just bang through endless whitecaps?
That's what I kept thinking. Looks like a torture test out there as far as I could see. Good luck taking a leak.
Have these people heard of 'Trim" in these conditions, it's on your throttle control.
When I would go out fishing if my life jacket was not on I was sitting on it. And if I saw offshore white caps I went home. I was just on the Great Lakes not the ocean though.
When I get to a jetty, and conditions are like that, I turn right around and enjoy the intracoastal. LOL
Tile should read boats in rough water
Custom craft for the win and wearing life jackets.
The small Boston whalers sure handle the rough water good.
That captain is a true Legend. He mostly goes out when the weather is bad and always does it like a pro.
Why do the go out just to turn around and come back in?
With some people, winning a Darwin Award would be the pinnacle of success.
The one right after the Donzi knows how to do this properly, staying on the backside of the inbound wave.
agree

Been salmon fishing out of Oregon that makes this look like the wave pool at Waterworld.
Looks fun. Would take the Whaler. All day long.
Does anyone know what is the make of boat that starts about 9:40?
