@@MusicClassicalVideos Yeah, the Lekker, the Fire & Rescue boat and the Sealine at the end made it obvious that all the others are creating their own drama. Slow to dead slow, displacement mode, really no problem. Maybe keeping the speed up like everybody says is necessary for the pure planing hulls, idk, but it seems like a high risk approach. Even when they pull it off, seems pretty brutal on boat and passengers and a great reason not to take a planing hull into real waves.

My mother was never the same after my drunk father took her into waves like this at open throttle. Back then they called her injury “a slipped disc”. No one is as important than a passenger, no one!

Here's a fact that might get some people a bit upset. But reality is that people who buy Cigs, AT's or Apaches have a tendency to think they are as good at driving their boats fast offshore as what the boat is theoretically capable of. If you have ever been at a powerboat meetup, those guys are the ones pointing their fingers at everyone else, talking about how their boats are the only real offshore powerboats. Sadly most of them have never received any performance driving training. They have learned by doing, and only some have actually gotten a good understanding of how to drive a boat fast in the rough stuff. You rarely see OL, Fountain, Mystic or similar owners in these situations. It is inevitably some clown in a Cig, AT or Apache who thinks their resin bucket can do anything at any time.

Exactly - the Dutch know the sea and respect it much like the British and their RIB development (originally for the RNLI rescue craft) teaches the prime rule - safety first . It takes knowledge of the sea and years of maritime experience to know what you're doing. Except in America of course where you can just buy a bigger, more expensive boat and paint it a bright colour and be invincible. Many of these people are incredibly dumb....no PFD's and can't even control boats.

It's the ohh my gadd @.23 for me🤣🤣🤣🤣

The design works with the right captain on the Lekker boat!

The Captain of the Lekker is who I would trust, aware of his surroundings and knows how to smoothly transition those waves. Your supposed to ride them, NOT EAT THEM!!

Friend: “Hey Bob, you know those medical bills from the boat accident are still coming...” Bob: “WE WERE IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS!!!!!”

Open boat design at 9:44-handled waves really well w inboard motor. Id say the performance was impressive. Especially for a smaller boat.

That lekker looked good and stable. Looks to be a modern take on a classic lifeboat design.

The second one she was like nope!! Take me home NOW! Lol

I need a "Midnight Express", they be like "Haulover...take a seat!".

Less yacht's, more carnage! ;)

Holy Cow! I've just come across these videos! I'm hooked!

Captain looks down as if “did I even have passengers on this boat?” 😂

love the way the Lekker handles following seas. From what I could see fantastic hull under water (I'm a little old fashioned about boats)

Checkout the new Americas Cup 2021 sailing boats with a similar keel design. Lekker hull will be very efficient and, modern.

great video - yes more yachts would be super - thanks

The first dude was hauling ass no wonder he messed everyone up 😂😂 everyone else cruising through the waves

I love the lack of PFD’s . You can’t fix stupid but you can medicate crazy.

@Mike Lyons So I guess you have never heard of inflatable vests? They can be manually inflated or auto inflate when you hit the water and are available for about $ 120 bucks from Mustang. Spin lock,and imperial just to name a few. Its pretty stupid not to have all your crew wearing them and you as a captain are responsible to ensure the safety of your passengers. They are not hot to wear as they are a nylon harness with two strips of nylon down the front about three inches wide . Now who is stupid. They can also be equipped with epirbs,light and whistle . The epirbs activate on activation of the vest. If one of your crew hits their head on the way overboard and is knocked unconscious because you as a captain are to stupid to pull the throttles back on your vessel and hammer a wave to hard and injure them they can be saved. If they are unconscious in rough seas and sink Congratulations you just killed one of your crew members. But hey that is natural selection of the stupid right ? But at least you might have a chance of recovering their bodies in a day or two when the gases from decomposition float them to the surface that is if the sharks and other marine scavengers don’t eat them first. Here is hoping you don’t have command of a vessel anytime soon.

@Mike Lyons You’ve boating incorrectly for 35 years if you don’t wear a PFD when you’re underway.

Midnight Express is a beast, love it

Seperates the Captain from the tools in the tool box😂

Love it! Thank you.

The guy in the Lekker knows how it's done. I've fished the St Lucie, Jupiter and Stuart inlet for 35 years. Those are three of the worst inlets in Florida. You get on the back of the wave and follow it in, If it peters out you power up and get on the back of the next one. If none to grab you are through the inlet. Thinking you can just power through in boat under 30 feet you are wrong. You will probably make it through but you are going to injure passengers. Surfing the wave in invites stuffing the pointy end then the following wave turns you sideways and flips you over.

I own a Lekker. Great boat. Handles brilliantly and nothing better for parties. That captain sells them out of Miami.

What better demo of those boats is there than a Haulover run????

Great video great to see big yachts going against the waves

That first boat always makes me laugh. 😆

5:25 is a funky but obviously functional design. Skipper knew exactly what he was doing there! Kinda' reminds me of a double ended skiff my grandpa had in Maine. Tended his lobster traps with it. It had an outboard mounted in a box about where the console is here if you can picture that.

The midnight express smooth af, the curvature is very smart

I like the look of the Lekker and the skipper seems to know what he’s doing; makes a change.

Wow looks like fun a nice relaxing day on the boat.
