@@clarenceolsen They are just plain stupid to beat their boats up like that. If one of those operators beats the million dollar boat up one too many times the hull can crack open like an egg. This was a common problem with Aquasports. They don’t call them Aquasplits for nothing.
@@maxdugan7449 I restored a 1976 Rogers 460 Ford-powered jet boat. The hull and stringers appeared sound, so I only addressed the engine, wiring, paint, and pump.

@@maxdugan7449 Max, it only takes 3 years of this pounding before you start getting spider cracks on a thin hull. I used to work on Corvette restorations and vibration is a major problem. The chassis is all metal, but the body is a one piece thing.
Blue Top came through the inlet like the pro she is. The two previous boat captains have a lot to learn about returning through an inlet on with a strong outgoing tide which combines with a brisk east wind.
it would be helpful to point out what the two other captains did wrong so the rest of us could learn from the “a lot to learn” about what they did wrong. Can you break it down for us?
@@table4-5 I will explain what the two previous captains did wrong. First you must understand the dynamics of Haulover. The inlet is narrow, about 100 meters wide. The incoming and outgoing tides rip through there at almost 10 knots. The current slows down as ebb tide approaches. When ebb tide passes the current begins to speed up. Haulover becomes treacherous during an outgoing tide with a brisk easterly wind. Navigating the inlet with an outgoing tide requires a little finesse. When departing Haulover stay close to the north side because it has the fewest rollers/breakers. After clearing the mouth of the inlet steer to heading 65 degrees to get away from the turbulence and if you are traveling south travel on a heading 90 degrees for about a 1/4 klick then turn south. Your boat and guests do not take a beating as you will have avoided the turbulence. Returning during an outgoing tide has its challenges. The best approach to the inlet is from the north side. It is a little tamer than the center or even the south side. You must first trim your bow up and position yourself in the trough between 2 waves. Then you must work your throttle(s). Trying to power through can lead to a catastrophic consequence. The first captain had little regard for his boat and passenger who was taking a terrible beating. He had no business being out there in the first place especially with a bow rider whose bow was designed and built with reverse shear. It’s a good boat for rivers and lakes but not for the ocean. Captain 1 made the biggest mistake by not heeding the small craft warning. His second biggest mistake was attempting to navigate through the center of the inlet. He has very little situational awareness. If he did he would have observed how the north side of the inlet was a little tamer than the center. Captain 2 was having trouble with his starboard engine. His biggest mistake was not immediately turning around so he could return to his marina or boat ramp. Instead this meathead puts his boat and passengers in danger by attempting to restart the engine while his beam was to the sea. The boat could have been swamped by the large waves and rocked so severe that a passenger could have lost their balance causing a catastrophic head injury. I hope I answered your question. BTW: I come through Haulover once in a while. I have a blue 31 Bertram named Mr Lucky. Before I forget: On an incoming tide Haulover is as tame as a month old kitten.
@@joanrichards235 No, it's not Haulover, it's Boca. The stone piers are different. There is no orange triangle in Haulover, when looking out to the Atlantic. When Bluetop goes by, Wavy Boats even puts the information for Boca on screen. Learn to recognize where is being shown.
The woman in the Blue Top is the most intelligent person on any of these videos...the only person wearing a life vest. How stupid everyone else is for not wearing one.
BTL obviously has been taught how to handle a boat, probably from a young age, considering that she's quite young atm if I'm not mistaken. Hats off to whomever taught her, and to her for excelling at it. These other folks could learn a thing or two, or ten, from her. I can't understand how people have such expensive boats and yet seem to have no idea how to handle them. Do they just have so much $$ that they don't care that they tear them up, or what?
Blue Top Legend has achieved legend status already by being one of the only ones smart enough to wear a life jacket. No matter how good you are, shit can always go wrong, and especially in those conditions it is an increadibly easy step to just put on a vest for good measure. But way too many people dont do it because they dont feel like wearing one
i think the first captain did a good slow and steady considering the conditions and i was super happy to see the second captain who was solo wearing a life jacket. we love watching your vids and i tell my son they should be wearing one lol watching from edmonton alberta
How so? If he was *lighting* a cigarette, I'd agree with you, but it doesn't matter how many times a lit cigarette touches gasoline or vapor, it isn't going to ignite. It just wont. A cigarette burns at too low a temperature.
Here on Long Island 99% of pleasure boaters fail to take a Boaters Safety course. I see it's the same in Florida as well because most of these boaters are not even qualified to Captain a wooden go-cart. Blue Top always does well.
@ yeah you basically lift the engines up a bit which pivots the bow of the boat up so you’re not stuffing the bow into the water. That coupled with some general feel for the waves and common sense should give you a much better chance but as they say, the sea is an unforgiving mistress 😁
I think the first guy should have been going faster with the trim up a bit more. Kinda seem like he was being way to cautious and end up doing more damage.
Boca is usually worse than Haulover due to how shallow it is all around and outside of the inlet. The waves actually break and slam into the boats where as Haulover is more of a large swell. Both can get very nasty and require experienced captains certain times a year.
I just don’t understand how dumb many boaters are. Can’t you read a weather forecast and surf conditions reacted to the tides? Even if you got past the inlet, the sea state is absolutely crap.
too rough in my books stay parallel with the waves. make sure your bilge pump works. Clean up the inside of salt water residue.wear a life jacket. there are limits to what boat can take.
The third boat out was skippered by a moron. One engine is playing up, the boat is right in the mouth amongst the chop, near rocks and the fool is more interested in having a drink in one hand instead of actually steering and controlling his boat properly. He put his bot at risk, his passengers at risk and himself at risk. Of course, he dosen't even know what he did wrong and is the type who will never learn.
Some people should not own boats. Its too easy to buy a boat nowadays. Lots of weekend warriors who have no idea how to operate a boat correctly, and before all of the trolls start running their mouths, I was on a fireboat in Va. Beach for 13 years and I've owned boats for most of my life, I've seen my share of idiots.

Midnight Express 😢
Nothing like a big open boat, with a bow that slopes down to allow easy stuffings 😂

Boston Whaler never ceases to amaze me. Great Captain as well!!!
We're pretty hammered and one engine is acting up. Let's try Boca!

Good grl Legends, showing us how a life jacket is a smart choice in rough uncertain waters. Go Blue Top!!!
the mystery boat handles better than that over priced pos midnight express. lol
They are beautiful but that's the last million dollar boat that I would want...StuffKings

@2:00 when working on a gasoline engine always do it with a lit cigarette in your mouth, highly advisable
And if you can't see into the tank because it's too dark- a cigarette lighter is a handy tool to illuminate the tank for you.
Mystery boat looks like it might be a late 80's Center console from Campion. A Canadian boat built in Bristish Columbia, right above Washington.
BTL did very well unlike some others.
When a Midnight Express is taking spray over the bow....you KNOW its a rough day on the inlet !!!!!!!!!!!!
Mystery boat best of the video
Those bow riders with the downward bow get nailed.
i think the first captain did a good slow and steady considering the conditions and i was super happy to see the second captain who was solo wearing a life jacket. we love watching your vids and i tell my son they should be wearing one lol watching from edmonton alberta
Blue top legend is a greater captain then one and three for sure. A little wild but better.
thanks for the tips
Working on a gasoline engine in rough conditions with a lit cigarette is trying to earn a Darwin Award

Because sometimes stupidity is expensive 😂
Great to finally see the BTL!!
Some Temu Captains as usual :)
That Midnight Express is the one 🏆
bow dips too low on the MEs, slick looking boats though.
I think it's just a dingy! lol.
Blue Top Legend - "Wave Dancer". 😉👍
That see vee is a beast
1:00 Inspiration! I think I need to rent a Boston Whaler put the old Speedo on and make the Wavy Boats channel.
Yikes! That first boat.
BTL did good but will need some close-up shots to fully assess her performance.
That 27 Albury Brothers was very impressive.
that blue top legend ass... 10/10 would top
Here on Long Island 99% of pleasure boaters fail to take a Boaters Safety course. I see it's the same in Florida as well because most of these boaters are not even qualified to Captain a wooden go-cart. Blue Top always does well.
The course don't teach you actually how to operate a boat any idiot can pass the test

I'd love to see the Blue Top Legend with an old Mercury "Tower of Power" hanging off the transom...
bro on the last boat didn't even splash the beer)
First captain had twin engines and goes slowski 😂😂😂
Mystery boat ain't no stranger to going out on sea.
I was playing Blue Top Legend once up in Alaska and split my lip and knocked out a tooth on the top of the windscreen. Be careful, girl!
The mystery boat looks like an early Dusky
Request: Blue Top Legend and Red Top Legend. Both are good.
He was doing a K turn and then decided to give his passengers a thrill and leave it boardside to the waves.
BTL does it again!!!!
Blue top should get an inflatable thundercat, and send it!
0:12 There's no stuff here. He's not going fast enough to stuff the bow. That's more like a cork bobbing spoonful.
Oh classy, lovely; who doesn't yearn for the days of the 13' custom ss though? Can't really top going vertical on an overpowered skiff.
the guy in the baby blue regal should not be allowed to rent or own a boat.
Can you tell us what he did wrong? Non-boater here ... serious question. I know it looked wrong but can't say why
@@DanielMores No trim in his engines at all. Get some trim in, keep the bow up and keep some throttle in and feel your way through the waves.
@@robj3857 Thanks for the explanation. Had to google "trim" in this context but I get it, I think. 👍

Id go out in those conditions provided the captain is me, I'm alone, and I have a full tank of fuel
Observing from Vermont, USA
1:25 looks JUST like a girl from the game Leisure Suite Larry DOS game!
Advise wait till slack tide much smoother then
2:16 didn't spill a drop of his Coors Light.
Why some boaters don’t pay any attention to weather, current and tide is beyond me.
Hello BTL
BTL ftw
Blue Top Legend AKA Red Bare Bottom Legend?
Never run a boat in my life. So wouldn’t it make common sense not to go out in those waves w/barely any throttle?
yes, first cap was way too slow. get up and over
I think the first guy should have been going faster with the trim up a bit more. Kinda seem like he was being way to cautious and end up doing more damage.
Blue Top Legend. Haven't seen her with her twin sister recently.
Sister went to college.
Check the wind
My advice: Stay tied up to the dock until you learn how to judge the inlet and sea conditions.
Is Boca worse than Haulover, or does it depend on the day?
Boca is usually worse than Haulover due to how shallow it is all around and outside of the inlet. The waves actually break and slam into the boats where as Haulover is more of a large swell. Both can get very nasty and require experienced captains certain times a year.
I just don’t understand how dumb many boaters are. Can’t you read a weather forecast and surf conditions reacted to the tides? Even if you got past the inlet, the sea state is absolutely crap.
Why do people go out in such rough conditions?
first boat should never take waves to the beam... and if you are standing then have a good base.. the dude fell down almost 5 different times
Advice to the Captain, ride a bicycle.
This type of thing is the exact reason I no longer go boating. My Dad is not here and I dont trust anyone else
too rough in my books stay parallel with the waves. make sure your bilge pump works. Clean up the inside of salt water residue.wear a life jacket. there are limits to what boat can take.
and the world cat is to nice of a boat for those bozos.
trust to drown us all
That is not the legend the legend was small light and the girls knew how to fly it.
the captain with non working engine nope a chance even if the water was calm and placid.
Some people just shouldn’t attempt to operate a watercraft. Being a captain does take at least a small amount of intelligence.
Flat Top is back
Mr. U- turn. Completely incompetent, even after turning around.
3 boat. Again he should stay home. Has zero idea
Why do they do this? Are they fishing or just ... stunting?
The captain of the first boat out needs to turn in is license and go to school to be a real captain.
Some people should not be allowed to drive a boat 🚢
The third boat out was skippered by a moron.
