Pontoon boats are for the lakes and rivers, ok sometimes you can use them on the Gulf when it's calm, But in the Atlantic especially if the waves are over 6 inches lol, that's a big no no.

Damn, that Sun Tracker did great! Should have left the front gate open just in case though, so it won't get blown in and damaged. Can't really sink a pontoon boat. I have a 2022 Sun Tracker Fishing Barge 22ft with the 150hp four stroke Mercury. It's my 3rd boat and by far my favorite boat. Build quality is fantastic and rock solid. Best warranty on the market too. It'll do 33mph on GPS with 4 people, fishing gear, full tank, and powered automatic bimini top all the way up.

Amazing v hulls made for cutting through ocean waves. And that good captain seals the deal. Some great throttle inputs and bow control

So I love how some of these boats cut through the waves, like butter.

The drone video really shows how rough it can be so much better than the shore video

I love the water level filming. Drone shots are cool once in awhile, but you get more for the feeling of the water turbulence and the struggle at water level.

The first clue to turn back (other than the waves breaking into the boat) should’ve been the drone watching you try and make it.

That pontoon boat did better than I figured it would!

Oh man! That Invicible is amazing! Honorable mention to the Scout! YESSS Keep up the great work with the drone shots! I'm all about the Pershings when it comes to the yachts!

Love the drone shots! Definitely adds a different perspective viewpoint.

Yes keep drone videos coming. I just can't get over how beautiful the water is.

I like the way the boaters don't have their life vest on. This gives the life vest a chance to float free in an event of an accident, instead of being affected by the weight of a body in it. It's so much easier for a life vest to stay buoyant, if some person is not in it. Thank these lovers of life vests for allowing the life vest to have a chance to float freely without restrictions.

I’d take my family out on that boat. Just not out THERE!!

Super perfect footage! So crisp and clean. Yes more drone footage please ❣️

They aren’t meant for heavy water, but, the water can’t get trapped and those boats can’t get swamped. So they really aren’t too bad off. Those low bow bow riders have no business in rough water, however. They are easily swamped

New subscriber. Some of these boats are beautiful, although there are a few that struggle getting in and out if the inlet. I’d be scared in a small boat. Further, of course I like the drone shots and would like to see more.

Pontoon boats are pretty much unsinkable, the pontoons are sealed, but still definitely not intended for the rough waves of the ocean.

Yes more drone shots please from both angles, going into Haulover Inlet and coming out. I have a 2011 Bayliner 285 and I plan on driving down to Miami one summer and braving Haulover so your videos are a valuable teaching guide for a new boater like myself.

Awesome drone shots, really improves an already good channel. Watching from the UK, ex 7.8m Ribcraft owner......sadly gone.

I like the Drone shots. I would have liked to see the drone shot when that little Whaler went straight up in the air the really rough day. You might want to be behind the boat or the back side to see the people if the boat jumps vertically. The close up could be very entertaining as long as nobody gets hurt. Thanks for the videos. They are mesmerizing to me sometimes and I can’t stop watching them. I love boating.

Drone footage really shows the tense moments well. That USCG boat pilot was awesome.

Actually, for a pontoon boat with such small diameter tubes I thought the vessel was doing pretty well considering the conditions!

Pontoon boats are basically unsinkable. They're horrible at navigating big waves, but they'll pop back up like an inflatable, even if you completely dunk them. I'd rather be on that pontoon boat than the Yamaha. At least with the pontoon, I can hold on for dear life and hope that someone comes to rescue me as I stay high and dry (once the waves settle).

Love this guys. Def want more drone shots. Gives a more submersive experience.

Just love the drone shots it's wonderful I watch all the time thank you for having a wonderful channel

The Wellcraft captain nailed it !

Drone footage is okay . However, I wouldn’t feel the same if I were the subject of the drone shot.

I metal detect at the Haulover inlet and South of it. I see these boats coming through all the time it's awesome. I'm probably have seen you filming on the south side of the inlet. Keep up the great work.

Lovin the drone shots! Yes, MORE!

Yes, the drone footage is interesting... but I sense a privacy invasion. I don't think I would like a drone flying in my face as I was transiting the inlet. But I am from Ohio and we for sure have nothing like that inlet to deal with. I can't believe the number of open bow small boats that take on that wave action. They are brave souls to be sure. I would never subject my wife or my kids to that danger. No sir. I prefer my family stay in the boat and without water up to their knees.

It’s not hard at all. I fly through it on my 19’ rinker during storms. You need good throttle control and surf the peak of every wave. I’ve never stuffed the bow yet i’ve zigged zagged my way through. I’ve never been featured, at least not to my knowing. But I know a couple guys have cheered me on for keeping the bow up. Rather get the prop out of the water than the bow under the water!!!!😂

Both the pontoon and the Yam 252SD are perfect for showing up on this channel. So we can all feel superior, call them funny names, and talk about our expertise on lake boats. Heck Even Yamaha's own ad page for the SD only shows it on a lake! Damn I feel good now!!

Impressed with that little welcraft. took it like a champ for a small single motor boat!

🤣 The pontoon boat seemed to be doing just about as well as the other boats. Some of them were getting tossed around pretty hard. It really comes down to knowing your boat's limits and working within that.

Actually surprised how well the pontoon does compared to all of the Tahoes.

Yep, pontoon boats, and the smaller open bow boats with shallow draft and down-turned noses, are for lakes. The really deep-V, flared hulls like the Scout seem optimal for Haulover, though I suspect they are a pain in other ways (low visibility ahead, which might be a challenge while docking)

A big HELL YES on the drone usage. It’s great. 👍

That Princess yacht went through there like butter!

Poor choice taking pontoon out but must say was masterfully piloted!

I really like that Scout because it can really take those big waves well because of the high front end, however perhaps not as good for maximum visibility because of that.
