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.
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
@@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. Taking the boat to full power to a never intended top speed; the grandson who was riding in the back noticed the hull flexing under his feet with cracks in the hull becoming visible as the "lay-up" was separating. PS I do not pound my 2005 Baja 20, and the hull seems to be intact...
@@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.
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
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?
Who's the young lady in the "Blue Top Legends" boat? She actually knows how to ready the wind, water, & waves by adjusting the power/direction to safely move forward. Her boat isn't that big but smaller boats must be more alert. Tough waters to be dealing with
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.
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.
@ 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 😁
A good cat can handle sitting beam on in small surf all day. That's how I sold my last one. When the new owner realised where we were sitting me at midships sitting on gunwale watching the waves. He got worried, I said it won't hurt this boat. He said just get us out of here and I will buy it. I said the amount I wanted, he said just get us out of here and I will buy it. Lol If that guy new what he was doing he would have done a u turn to port on his good motor.
Midnight Express' seemed to be build specifically for stuffing the bow in SFLA inlets. It is pretty sad when you spend $1.5 million on a big 40'+ center console and you take on more water than a teenage girl in a 17' Boston Whaler.

Blue Top! Rock Star!
THATS WHY SHE IS BLUE TOP LEGAND!
Boston whaler and a thong...what a combo!
Midnight Express 😢
Nothing like a big open boat, with a bow that slopes down to allow easy stuffings 😂
Anyone who buys one is a tool. I have laughed at that design for years.
Boston Whaler never ceases to amaze me. Great Captain as well!!!
The Boston Whaler is the best! Even at that size, outperforms the bigger boats! Great captain, awesome boat!
sorry but Bosten Whalers are overrated overpriced foam filled hulls!!
She is FEARLES, and a champ !
Why was I hoping she’d go flying out of the boat? But yes, she made it look easy.
They don’t do it as much anymore since she almost put the bow80° straight up almost got them hurt. Either they are busy or dad said no more jat
BLue Top Legend - mad skills navigating through Haulover!

Blue Top always makes it look like it was nothing.
Good grl Legends, showing us how a life jacket is a smart choice in rough uncertain waters. Go Blue Top!!!
That's because she drives it like she's riding a PWC.
What was she doing out there, though?

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

BTL did good but will need some close-up shots to fully assess her performance.
Blue top legend is a greater captain then one and three for sure. A little wild but better.
BTL always does good.

The course don't teach you actually how to operate a boat any idiot can pass the test
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!
Our little Blue Top Legend is certainly growing up.
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy 32750 approved ! that was good info & see =Wavy Boats
I'd love to see the Blue Top Legend with an old Mercury "Tower of Power" hanging off the transom...
thanks for the tips
Lovin the SeaVee
That Midnight Express is the one 🏆
bow dips too low on the MEs, slick looking boats though.
Yikes! That first boat.
KEEP THE BOW UP
BTL is still the Best
that blue top legend ass... 10/10 would top
When a Midnight Express is taking spray over the bow....you KNOW its a rough day on the inlet !!!!!!!!!!!!
Those bow riders with the downward bow get nailed.

@@franksmith4730 Can we test your declaration on you? No? Thought not.
Some Temu Captains as usual :)
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. 👍

Because sometimes stupidity is expensive 😂
@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.
Blue top should get an inflatable thundercat, and send it!
bro on the last boat didn't even splash the beer)
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.
BTL does it again!!!!
first boat: dual consoles are tricky, he was straight pimp. rocked it. Those waves were mean.
First captain had twin engines and goes slowski 😂😂😂
Request: Blue Top Legend and Red Top Legend. Both are good.
Ya it was a rough day in Central FL to. Almost ate the jetis myself..
1:24 I've seen her on this channel before, she's a great captain. (notice she's come equipped for the conditions)
Dude needed to get on the throttle

0:56 that guy has no clue what he’s doing!
its always on of those lakes boats wit the open fordeck
He was doing a K turn and then decided to give his passengers a thrill and leave it boardside to the waves.
Blue Top Legend, Red Top Legend, Black Top Legend. All are whalers. Tells you all you need to know.
Should have called this issue dirty bottom boats
I wonder if any Worldcat-shaped boats have capsized. Looks like a derivative of the very able Hickman SeaSled. Darn engines.
That dude with the cat is an absolute beginner or is an absolute fool.
Why do some boaters think, when seeing the turbulent sea, that this looks like a good day to go boating?
Wouldn't trust that Capt. with a bicycle!

Hello BTL
Thats not a boat , thats a bathtub
Mystery Boat is an old Pursuit.
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
Legend in her own mind.🤦
1:25 looks JUST like a girl from the game Leisure Suite Larry DOS game!
Why some boaters don’t pay any attention to weather, current and tide is beyond me.
All of these glass boats with kickers are crap! Back in the day, a Chris Sea Skiff or a Pacemaker or Egg could easily get in and out of Haulover!
