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.
@@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.
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
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?
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.
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.
@ 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 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.
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 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.
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.

@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.
BTL always does good.

Blue top legend is a greater captain then one and three for sure. A little wild but better.
That Midnight Express is the one 🏆
bow dips too low on the MEs, slick looking boats though.
Some Temu Captains as usual :)
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.

Blue Top Legend - "Wave Dancer". 😉👍
Because sometimes stupidity is expensive 😂
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. 👍

I think it's just a dingy! lol.

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.

Ya it was a rough day in Central FL to. Almost ate the jetis myself..
First captain had twin engines and goes slowski 😂😂😂
BTL does it again!!!!
Mystery boat ain't no stranger to going out on sea.
He was doing a K turn and then decided to give his passengers a thrill and leave it boardside to the waves.
The mystery boat looks like an early Dusky
Blue top should get an inflatable thundercat, and send it!
its always on of those lakes boats wit the open fordeck
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
Yeah, sell your boat😂
Our little Blue Top Legend is certainly growing up.
Why some boaters don’t pay any attention to weather, current and tide is beyond me.
Advise wait till slack tide much smoother then
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
Wouldn't trust that Capt. with a bicycle!
Id go out in those conditions provided the captain is me, I'm alone, and I have a full tank of fuel

Mystery Boat is an old Pursuit.
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 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.
My advice: Stay tied up to the dock until you learn how to judge the inlet and sea 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
Why do people go out in such rough conditions?
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.
This type of thing is the exact reason I no longer go boating. My Dad is not here and I dont trust anyone else
Advice to the Captain, ride a bicycle.
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.
and the world cat is to nice of a boat for those bozos.
Some people just shouldn’t attempt to operate a watercraft. Being a captain does take at least a small amount of intelligence.
That is not the legend the legend was small light and the girls knew how to fly it.
Calling these idiots Captains is an insult to real Captains. They are operators of the boat and bad ones at that. Sorry, but not sorry.
trust to drown us all
Mr. U- turn. Completely incompetent, even after turning around.

The captain of the first boat out needs to turn in is license and go to school to be a real captain.
the captain with non working engine nope a chance even if the water was calm and placid.
Why do they do this? Are they fishing or just ... stunting?
