"So were low on fuel but gonna keep running both engines at full throttle..."

Never seen a man so well kitted and prepared then to run out of fuel

Can’t help myself I’ve got to say it, think about this, you left dock for your first run in an unfamiliar boat on a 150 nm trip without filling your tanks, and someone has to leave a safe harbour to come to your aid because you ran out of fuel.

also didn't bring phone chargers either? what if they ran out of fuel and had dead phones... hopefully he tested VHF radio before they left. Also a good way to suck all the crud, and biomass that was growing in that old fuel by running it low like that.

Left old unknown history of oil in motors.. At least change it out before going on 150 nm trip..

Hey man, I just delivered a 38 Tiara(sister ship) and it’s a very nice boat to run. I hate to be that guy but…. Always top off at every opportunity when moving a boat long distance. You never know what you may encounter…. Enjoy it. Great video. ✌🏼🇺🇸

I just became addicted to this channel by watching your previous video. GREAT content!!! Thanks for taking the time to document your adventures.

6 to 8 hours is the passage plan. At least you brought extra trash bags you can throw that plan into

On a good note regarding your fuel issue, you got rid of all the old fuel and now you can run some clean fresh stuff in her!!

1/3 out, 1/3 in, 1/3 reserve always. No excuse for running out of fuel!

Those old units would still be better than the navionics app at least you could see the real depth of the water

Hey man your going to find out theres a difference in total gallons of fuel and usable gallons of fuel in the tanks.

Great video! Navigation on tight channels in shallow waters is a challenge. I know the UI on Navionics is 10/10 but the navigation is 2/10 (i.e. not good enough). That chart plotter might be ancient but would've kept you on course. Making similar mistakes is how I learned!

I got the same feeling when I started the video and the lids still on the plotter ,sounder and radar............, relying on a bloody phone app, for navigation ,neeh...and not fuel up before go that distanse..................... atleast hes gaining experiense..

Great job guys. Nice to know I'm not the only paranoid captain around. I'll never forget running up the Delaware bay by myself in the middle of the remnants of a hurricane in a boat that I had basically rebuilt that was from the 70s. I actually took her all the way from launching in Michigan city Indiana up and through the grand loop basically. All the waters around Chicago river and such are nerve wrecking. I also went during the worst season of when a huge mayflies brood was in the Midwest and I would literally have to scoop shovels full of them off the boat every couple of hours. Some people wind up cutting across the middle of Florida but we actually went all the way down through the Bahamas and as close to Cuba as possible at the time. I've always wanted to get a professional captains job to transport boats from wherever up and down the east coast. But primarily south Carolina and south through Florida or more south over even to Mexico. My favorite trip is probably starting in Pensacola and following the coast down to playa del Carmen Mexico. Truly an epic beautiful trip. Maybe we will get lucky would be legit to be your right hand guy some day

Should have stared 10 knotting it when you go low on fuel. Glad you guys made it. Good boat with good power

If I had that in SC on the ICW that would be heaven, I would live on it! 😊✌️❤️🤘🇺🇲

And diesel engines don't like to run outta fuel. Can't always just squeeze a ball like gasolina 😢

those turbos are screaming because it's making torque. it's struggling because it's 90% up on plane . if you give'er a smidge more beans it''ll get up on plane and burn less fuel . and you can back off on the throttles a bit . you want horsepower on plane . torque to get you on plane . But I get it man .. first time jitters .

Good post, good advice. She was running exceptionally well, especially after sitting on the hard for 9 months. No telling how much tank algae and bio-scum is in there. An hour in and those jitters should've subsided enough to get fully up on plane, then back off a tad to keep her up. Showed up prepared, but didn't top off. No idea what it's like up there, but down here, with a captain's license, running out of fuel at sea is a quick way to get that license rescinded. I'm not criticizing, just saying. Beautiful boat, and I'd wager he never does that again.

I always bring a spare jug of fuel just so that I never need it. Its always the case.

All that prep and all those spares, yet you didn't top off with fuel or bring extra? While I have not spent much time on the water, I am fairly sure that fuel stops are a bit harder to come by compared to when on land. One would think that when in a vessel that one is not familiar with the rate of fuel consumption and familiar with the range of said vessel that fuel would be a bit more of a top priority in the mentioned spares. But it does make for a more interesting watch. LOL

That is a nice boat!

why were you not using the depth finder? (not judging asking for real if this is a common practice? it feels like that would allay some fears?

Man those diesels sounds good

Oh please do not quiet down that sweet turbo whistle! Let it be and you will love that after awhile!

very nice yacht. twin yanmars👍. I think you would get better fuel mileage is you put your boat on plane then back out of the throttle till it stays on plane. it works on my chris craft!

The boat has been sitting, it's entirely possible there's algae in the tanks, a clogged, fuel filter, etc. Etc. It's also possible that the gauges could just Read incorrectly. That boat should easily go 350 mi on a full tank

Who doesn’t carry spare fuel in a diesel boat? 🤷‍♂️🙄 Who doesn’t top off along the way when you had the opportunity? 🤷‍♂️🙄 Hereabouts, if you run out of fuel at sea, your commercial captains license gets rescinded. 🙄 Technically in your plan there should be 1/3rd of your fuel for your trip out, 1/3rd for return trip & 1/3rd in reserve for “emergency’s / unforeseen events”. What if someone along your route had a break down or emergency & you had to tow them? You wouldn’t have had enough fuel. Sailing in on one engine running on fumes is a fail. Getting friends to bring fuel to you is a fail. Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Learn your chart plotter, update its navionics card. I’ll give you a pass since it’s a new to you boat & your still learning but as captain it is your responsibility. Get spare diesel Jerry cans and stow them aboard for emergency’s to top off fuel BEFORE you run the engine dry. Priming a diesel engine at sea in an emergency isn’t an option.

As someone who grew up on lakes and loves the ocean and all things boats, I am in love with this Pursuit and I am so excited to watch what you do with it and your channel grow. I think this was an amazing investment into your content. I've gone back and watched the sea ray saga and it seems like you're doing all the right things. Very excited to follow along!

Bro rather runs out of fuel than buying fuel in jersey 😂😂😂

@2:12 and that's when I knew ... he Focked Up !

Good deal man she rides out ! Cant wait to see this boat out in the canyons

Really enjoyed coming aboard and making the run to home port. She is a beauty and anxious to see what your expectations are of this boat. OK wish you best

Did I hear you say you have a Capt. license? Or did you mean a boaters safety card.

Rinning low on fuel maybe consider reducing to hull speed and find a fuel outlet

Alright, finally, the video 📹, less go for A crazy boat ride! 🚢

She wasn't fully up on plane, that turbo whine was from all the torque. Little more throttle to get her up fully, back off just enough to keep her up, and not only does the turbo whine subside, but she probably has another 70 odd NM left. 1/3 out, 1/3 running, 1/3 back.

I made the same mistake with my new to me tiara bringing it home about 120nm after purchase. Filled up before leaving but stbd engine started getting warm so turned around after 30 mins to go back. Dealer replaced water pump & left after a few hours wait. About 2/3rds of the way back started thinking not enough fuel but the delay meant it was early evening so fuel stations were closed. Decided to chance it & made it into home harbor about 300 yds from the dock before running out of fuel. Flagged down another boat coming in who towed us the rest of the way & got off the boat about 30 mins before it started raining. Foolish but very lucky. I should have known better.

Man yall couldn't have picked a better day all the water just looks like glass!!

you bring epirbs but not a phone charger.....

Hey Ben, awesome boat man, it rocks. I laid some faux teak in my boat, recently, it really quietened down the engine noise. All the best getting her tidied up 😊

That was the Cape May to Lewes Ferry

Old sonar is better than no sonar right?

That’s crazy!! I ran out of gas on the ocean side of Delaware when I moved my 33 pacemaker from Nj

Making motor moves!!!

always top off before you go on a long trip and definitely learn your machines even if they’re old some of them are better than the new shit

Ever gone overboard in 40 degree water?

What brand are those gauges? They don’t make the original VDO gauge (I have a Tiara same year as your Pursuit dash and all) but yours look really nice. My oil pressure gauge on port side is fogged up. I used to be a parts manager at a Tiara dealer and Tiara couldn’t even get them anymore. I think in a previous video you mentioned they were original but they are not. The gauges on your boat look great. Also, if you have receipts for anything, did they have to replace any of the sending units?

North-up > course-up

So close 🤏

Cracking stuff. Love the noise it makes. Amongst the trillion armchair boaters, you could've knocked the revs down to half earlier on ? Not.sure of speed.vs.efficiency on beasts like this though. Love ot though. 👍

how much was this boat

Screwing the money end in to the pontoon is a brave move ....

Man, such an annoying and utterly unpredictable visitation of fate - running out of fuel! If only someone would design some device capable of indicating how much fuel you have, so that you could get a good idea whether you have sufficient fuel to make it to your next destination on a journey - like some sort of, oh I don't know, say a gauge showing the percentage or something like that. That guy would become a multimillionaire! Alas, such technology is always just a few years away but never seems to get any closer - like nuclear fusion.

Assuming it was 3/4 full, you had 200 gal and went 150nm. Is 1+ gal a mile good fuel economy for a boat that large? Thats a beautiful boat, up keeping that boat has to be very very expensive.

this is my nightmare. I always carry a jug of fuel just in case

Only time you go there for vacation is when you want to double your money🤑

And.....it could possibly be noted, you not knowing this boat at all, that running at the speed you ran, fuel would be rapidly used. Yep.

You mentioned going to the fuel dock and top off at the very beginning of this video and you either made a poor guess or a bad decision or in the excitement forgot to top off. Never trust the gages always top off to be sure of what you really have on board

Did you bring any Flex Seal or extra fuel?

Can you explain why you throttled up with the left stick when getting on plane?

putting the left throttle forward like that syncs the throttles so you can run both engines at the same rpm

If you had ran that thing fully up 9n plane she would have burned less fuel and you would have been able to back her off a bit and the turbos wouldn't have been screaming so loud.

Filming on the bow like it's July, No man-over-board drill, no EPIRB or Survival Cold Water Immersion Suits, NOBODY on the Bay at that time of the year. First time engines went above idle was throttling out of AC Inlet???

Remember when your navigating with a vessel like this Mass have your tank full because you never know what could happen you never run with ever think to the destiny that you were going that is a big error as a captain learn your lesson

Your not wrong Atlantic City is a dump, sorry sketchy! There was a time when it used to be ok but it is a crusty shell of it's former self!

What was the reason for not fueling up before setting off? Obviously regrettable at this point.

Low on fuel ? Slow down ! The least you could do is top off, with some new fuel in with the old. Trusting unknown fuel senders ? That stand alone Furuno gear is good stuff. Always use that depth sounder when underway, and that radar could save your life.

Only a couple hours into the trip you had a little more than half tanks.. should of known better man

Don't be a lesser human turbo whistle is God's noise. I thought you were a mechanical guy.

How can your phones be dead when you can charge them on the boat? Not topping off the fuel and not plotting open fuel docks along the way is not very smart. You brought the oil but no extra fuel cans?

Sorry. 150 miles, not once you consider pulling into any marina and filling fuel before risking be stranded at night? just no.

So you bought a boat that gets less than 1mpg at 20 kt, you need headphones to prevent deafness while running, and you think you got a great deal!

I'm not a big fan of your "free use AC/DC audio, bro, just let it roll.

Crazy irresponsible getting anywhere near running out of fuel. Especially when making a video. You’re the reason boat insurance and towing is going to be too expensive for “Regular people” soon.
