This is one of the best videos that I have ever seen on operating a motor vessel in rough seas. I worked for many years in the Gulf of Mexico Oil Patch as a USCG licensed Merchant Marine Captain, and AB Special while hauling fluids, equipment, supplies, groceries, and personnel to and from the oil platforms and I’m still on active status. Keep up the good work Gale Force Twins!

That was really REALLY good. I spent 22 years driving Uncle Sam's boats all over the world, and 24 years as a Marine Systems Safety Engineer for everything that floats, 18 feet all the way to 120K tons. Two things I might add - first is secure the boat for running in heavier seas. Loose gear can do the strangest things and will do damage. Second is patience!!! Just as you can run too slow, you can also run too fast. Just be calm, be patient, and take what you get. Again - really really good.

This is very good advice. These ladies know what they are talking about. In a big following sea you really need to be constantly on and off the throttle to maintain your pace. Where I boat on the south coast of Western Australia the swell is rarely below 2 metres. In the weather I am willing to boat in, the swell is usually 2 to 3 metres. I would prefer it to be less, but it just isn’t. My rule of thumb is to remember that boats float. The whole idea is to get there and back safely and that the sea conditions will dictate how you need to skipper the boat.

You girls teach the most important boating curriculum that no other channel teaches. TY

I live in Alaska and have been commercial fishing and piloting ships for thirty years this was a great educational video . The subject was clearly presented and you two exude confidence that speaks volumes to your time spent on the water .Great Job !

A quarter of a dollar is 25 cents but a quarter of 180 degrees (or direction of waves) is 45. Really useful, necessary and potentially life-saving information presented here. I've been watching boat-fail videos lately and I understand the mistakes people are making in rough seas now.

@kashfiqbal

This was my mistake, taking waves at 45 degrees is often feel like I lacked control of the boat as it exposed the broadside

Brilliant advice and so clearly described! Still waiting for Covid to let me take delivery of my first boat, but this information is invaluable before I set out in it. Great work ladies 👌

I was traying for long, long, long time to fully understand the drill of trimming up, down, out, in, listen to stupid youtubers stepping in their docking boats on a calm lake. Today, I bumped to you girls and now I can master my boat in any condition. You rocks! Tank you so much.

Thanks Amanda & Emily! We retired to Myrtle Beach and recently joined a well-known boat club. Off the South Carolina coast it’s fairly shallow for some 13-15 miles before the drop off to the deeper ocean and deep sea fishing. When not inshore fishing, we’ve learned there are a couple spots (holes) three miles offshore. We’re just learning how to boat and will be getting training and certified to pilot offshore. This video was very helpful as it was clearly explained and easily understandable. Again, Thanks & Fish On!

Great job! You two are great teachers! As a novice inland boater on lakes (Ohio), I don't ever get to see these conditions on my boat. It's fun to see how boaters who handle the big water take care of business intelligently and safely. Keep up the great work!

I’m a new boater: just five hours experience on a bowrider. Yesterday the local river was quite rough, and I worked almost all of this out through trial and error. Obviously you supplied additional detail and laid it out in a very logical manner. I am also a educator and allow me to say, you two are excellent teachers. Thanks!

I have ZERO experience driving boats and never owned one. Watching this video was very informative and exciting to watch how much fun it is piloting a boat when your trained and know what your doing. You have inspired me, at age 54, to go get my six pack license and start down the sea captains trail. Any pointers of any kind would be appreciated. I currently live in north east Texas so I may have to take vacation time to get this done but I’m excited about it! Thanks for the inspiration. 😊

Yeah...you two cuties pretty much nailed it. Following seas trim up and find your speed....opposite into the waves, the sea will make your bow lift so trim down and find your speed. For troughs trim asymmetrically. It's ok if your tabs/motors don't match. GREAT vid though....I raced offshore for a long time and your advice is definitely sound. It's really about speed more than anything. Sometimes slower can even be dangerous....same with going too fast

First time viewer. Loved the video, girls! I'm an old freshwater lake boater and can appreciate your great advice. The ocean is a completely different ballgame, and when you are in an open bow boat with and inboard, you really need to be careful not to bury the bow in a wave and allow all of the water to drain down into the engine compartment where it will kill your motor and leave you stranded!

I've watched your video several times. Theory combined with real life demonstration - the perfect combo! I think it's the best I have seen on this topic. Well done you two. They should show this on the various motorboat training courses, such as the RYA day skipper here in the UK. Thank you, Richie.

Thanks for the super helpful video! I’m looking to get my first boat and plan to keep it on the lake (it will only be 19 feet) but these tips are still super helpful. Keeping my wife and son from getting seasick will help ensure it’s a family activity that sticks :)

Was coming back from Anacapa at Channel Islands west coast with my son, 17mph winds and 23 gusts, seas were rough as hell, in a 20 foot bowrider I/O 5.7L waves coming from all sides following, side and front riptides. It was a washing machin spin cycle. So following in the trough was out of the question, that was my first adventure in rough seas. Learned on the spot. Best advise is be calm don't go to fast or too slow stand up have patience. I remember flying of the crests into the holes. It was a 12mile or so stretch. Rough as hell my son was freaking out and he was 22. In semi rough seas like the video the advice given in this vudeo is spot on. Really enjoy watching the twins. Thanks for the great content.

Thanks, another video I wish I had a year ago before tackling my first rough-ish seas. Left Key West and wanted to head north to Marathon but ran into waves coming towards us and a hugely uncomfortable ride within the first 5 miles. Luckily we didn't have a schedule, turned around and went up the gulf coast to Marco Island and eventually made it back south through Okeechobee a month later. Gulf was like glass that day. Thanks for the educational video.

Thank you. Finally someone teaches this topic.

Nice class ladies, the killer off course is getting ahead in an inlet, surfing then pearling the bow and the potential capsize.

Thumbs up! I've only been watching for about a week but I do have a great suggestion for your fishing videos. You guys should always give the month, the air temperature and water temperature. It's something that a lot of people leave out, but it's really the most helpful info an angler wants to hear.

Best twins on KZread hands down, so natural with the camera and such good skippers too! Love your vids! Thank you for the tutorials

I think it's important to note that every boat handles seas differently. It's important to know how your boat handles the seas and your own skills, and then don't exceed your or your boats limits. Challenge yourself to learn and get experience but don't get in over your head. Always know where your safe out is also, sometimes it's better to wait for better conditions, whether that is a change in tide or a change in weather.

I’ve been researching boating videos for a few months before making a decision on buying my own boat. I never thought I’d learn about boating skills from a couple of blonde teenage girls (I kinda expected boating authorities to be older gentlemen with deep raspy voices, extremely tanned skin and interesting accents) but here we are. This is one of the best, if not the best, videos on handling boats. Good job girls. Stay safe and give us more great videos like this one!

Great video. Lots of good information. Y'all definitely know your stuff. The only thing I do a little differently is running up sea. I have a deep V 24 ft Albemarle. I keep the bow down any time I am running up sea simply because the ride is more comfortable. I always just start tweaking the trim tabs down until the ride softens up enough. Sometimes we take a little more spray but the soft ride makes it worth it. Keep in mind, it is not an open boat so we are staying dry anyway.

Agreed, when travelling down/following seas trim tabs can't provide more bow lift than the natural running attitude of the boat at that speed. Trimming the motor redirects the thrust and can actively lift the bow. I also trim up when running across sea to keep the bow up and make the water break further back giving a drier ride.

I agree.. Trim tabs are awesome when you’re boat lists in the wind.. trim on motor is better I feel for trimming bow up or down in following or direct seas and more forgiving than trim tabs. Tabs can be slower to adjust and if you have them right for some waves, it might be wrong for others.

@charlieodom9107

Trim tabs extend the running surface, making the boat fly more level, which keeps the boat from skying on waves. Tabs should be level with the bottom of the boat and trim motors up to set bow height in the following sea situation.
