In your opinion, are the parents being careless as the kids deal with tough waves and bad weather while crossing Haulover Inlet?

I really like the high quality of your vids. Especially no narration or commentary. Just the sound of the inlet, waves, and boats.

That's the idea, you’re welcome

Most boats are going way to slow and have their engines trimmed down. Going out of the inlet? Tilt engines up and increase the throttle until the bow is up and the boat is partially planing. ( Unless you’re the twin girls in the Blue Top Legend who zip out of these inlets full throttle “balls to the wall”.) Coming into the inlet, keep the boat on plane and get on the seaward side of a roller wave. Use your throttle to stay on the backside. Engines trimmed up enough to keep the bow high. Don’t go over the top of the wave, or you could bury the bow and the following wave will flip you over.

You're just speculating you don't have any idea the trim settings on these engines you're just a complete idio t with a bogus opinion.

100% agree with you. Trimming of the outboard engines for planing and to suit the sea conditions is of vital importance and need to be adjusted accordingly. Once this is set up correctly, your average speed can be determined to suit the swell or wave conditions to prevent bow dipping. Trim and speed go hand in hand.

I was there yesterday. Mid morning, tide going out with a stiff breeze coming in so fairly rough and I was looking forward to seeing some action. I stood for nearly an hour and finally saw one boat going out, lol. I guess Thursdays aren't the best for viewing.

Even on little kids. Inconceivable!

It's difficult to understand why, when the sea is clearly choppy, no one has a life jacket. Children included. 😮

He knows wat he's doing

That massive battlewagon Spellbound should have throttled straight on, crazy to let himself get pushed around like that, thankfully no other boats were near.

When they turn those battlewagons into charter boats they re-engine with a small diesel that might have 1/4 of the power it was originally sold with. He was probably full throttle.

Oh damn, thanks for that info, that is truly scary within that inlet. At least a low powered trawler would have weight to help out. A low hp battlewagon is like the worst of both worlds.

Wow I rallye live the Design of the persönlicher 70 fort yacht. Pure italian style ❤❤❤

The JetSki rider was in way over his head… pun intended, lol

Yes, the parents are careless, risking their kids lives without life jackets on. I'm in Australia now, formerly from South Africa, Cape Town notorious for crazy waves and we WOULD NEVER risk our childrens lives like this. I've seen so many people flounder for jackets once the boat goes down 🤬 A boat can sink in seconds! On one of your video’s a man’s back was broken trying to exit the inlet, good luck staying above those waves with a broken back buddy. How silly, fortunately the boat survived. Having said this I LOVE your video’s but get stressed out about the children 😱😱😱😱

Sometimes when we review the footage, we're amazed to see the number of dangerous situations that happen just during a weekend. It's incredible. Thank you for watching my videos

The only small craft where competency was visible was the police boat, good speed, attention to the waves and safety. The other all just think “ I have a big boat, big engines, let’s just use all the power!!” No brain.

I think if I was to come in that inlet I'd probably just find my wave and ride it in. That's how we do it here in NC at Oregon inlet.

Several factors come into play, like the wind, speed and the current. Haulover can be quite unpredictable

​@jacobward523 It seems to me that there are a lot of people in that inlet that do not understand the danger and just barrel through oblivious to boat safety techniques. It is scary to think that anyone can just jump into a boat and go out into that inlet. The passengers lives are often at stake.

The Marlin needs to pick up the pace a little bit

speed good considering the conditions but technically too rough

MY LATE BROTHER IN LAW WAS A MERCHANT MARINE AND WAS HORRIFIED AT HOW PEOPLE OPERATED THEIR BOATS..JUST CURIOUS HOW MANY BOAT OPERATORS KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND RESPECT THE FORCE OF WATER?

I love how the guy at 12:48 doesn't even have his hand on the throttle 🤦‍♂️

The Regal driver really had no clue how to drive. 🙈

Small boats possibly

Were is the Coast Gaurd inforcing the life jackets must be worn especially at inlets like these? The Captain of the noat he is operating is responsible by maritim law. He must be sitting on his brains.

Needs to pick up the pace a lil bit.

Whitecaps means little boat STAY HOME !

The Marlin was to slow, you have to know how to play the trottle.

Wow many bad pilots today. I am often amazed how many actually not knowing how to handle a boat.

It's amazing how many 'captains' don't know how to trim...just sayin'

😂😂😂😂😂😂

my suggestion go elsewhere or stay docked.
