The Century boat captain did just what he needed to do, bring it in as smoothly as possible. He had older people on board, I suspect the person in the lavender shirt may have back issues. He picked his way through the swells and seemed to avoid stuffing the bow or getting overrun by a following wave. I rate it, well done!

It's lower unit was geared for torque, not speed. Power tilt was an option and luckily oil injection wasn't offered so you mix gas and oil 50:1.

To my eyeball the captain of the blue Century did a pretty good job of riding the waves in, not quite as nicely as the Key West did earlier in the video but it looked like everyone kept their toes dry. The outriggers and poles on the M.E. just looked out of place on what is obviously designed as a "go-fast" center console.

The Cigarette plowed it's way right through those inlet swells on the return trip. What a beast! That little Pardo 38's design is spectacular! Great way to spend that extra $600,000 or $700,000 that's just laying around.

Love the drone footage

That century guy did awesome honestly, smooth rides for his passengers and easy ride for the boat

Such great footage for aspiring boat designers and it seems the bigger the flare the better the spray clearance, think back to mediteranean fishing boats with huge flared bows for short choppy seas.

At 5:20, the little Aquapoint with the "mystery engine" looks like a Johnson 60 or 70 horse from back in the day based on the shape and style of it. Our neighbors at my grandparents summer cottage had one on their boat.

I owned a Century 2400 w/twin 150’s, & if that capt. got them in Haulover without soaking everyone in the boat, he did an EXCELLENT job.
