The smuggling drugs thing in the 80's made these boats get faster.. just like in the 20's with whiskey and prohibition did with cars .. now we have NASCAR and the NHRA ..
That yellow Lamborghini boat can do 186 MPH top speed. That's nucking futs. I've done about 75 on a supercharged jetski and it was scary. Cant imagine these rockets
After 80 it’s no longer fun, especially if you are sitting in back seats as it feels like it’s ripping your hair from scalp Went 135-140 in back of a nortech and faster in a skeeter (didn’t have gauges for passenger in skeeter) and did it on a lake so things came real fast
Simon Vuille Ya ever done 150mph on land? That's fun... But boats always feel like they're doing double what they are because water isn't smooth. I can only imagine the rush.
SkuzzyJ I went on one of these in Miami for a couple hours, cruising at around 90 MPH in rough water. Feels like you are about to pass out or simply get ejected and killed at any moment. Pretty badass, but extremely intense.
Boat: bust out another thousand. Two best days of boat ownership, the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Jokes aside the best days are spent on the water. Nothing quite like it.
I LOVED Larry! He was one of the good guys to me back in the day. We could talk about the most obscure stuff and always had fun! RIP my brother..................
@@thedandy6765 Some better, some not. Bad beer is served in every country around the world. But as a whole, American beer has improved tremendously in the past 30 years and has won plenty of international awards. You said that there is no good beer in America, that's simply not true.
For truly insane speeds you switch from a traditional piston engine with a Stern drive unit like a Mercury #6 or 8 and you go turbine with a direct drive prop shaft.
Beautiful machines. I live in the heart of the ,"Go Fast," boating culture, and it is turning into a bunch of guys who have a lot more money and boat ,than they have boating skills. Which has actually made it dangerous for everyone involved. The Cats and center console boats are becoming more popular, but I'll stick to my Ciggerette Deep Vee 42' Marauder . I just wish I had time to enjoy it.
I remember back in the day I would spend the night fishing on the beach and all night you would hear the massive inboard engines cruising all night yet running no lights. The drug running was insane.
At 7:50, theres an all black boat next to an all white boat. Both look so damn good. Couple of my favorite looking boats in the vid. I do like bright stuff like red, yellow, even neon green, but I hate the ridiculous decals and retro looking paint jobs on most of them. That black and that white look so clean tho.
I was on a charter in Miami and he had a center console with three E-Tec motors on it. I am not sure how fast we were going, I imagine 60-70 mph. For some reason, going 60 mph on the water feels much faster than land. I could not even fathom doing a hundred mph more with the Lambo Raging Bull at 160 mph. That is insane.
Couldn't agree more owning a boat is a huge pain in the ass in my opinion! But because I have some family and friends that own them I spend most of my boating experience enjoying them and not dealing with all of the issues that come with them.
Water attracts all kinds of people. rich or poor. But only the super rich will go faster then the rest. Money is power. Power makes a boat go fast. Simple concept. I would be right there with them if I had a few millions to spare.
I may have had a hand in starting this whole thing. Back in ca 1980 I was working for Cougar Marine, the guys who tamed the cat -- more or less. Some guy bought a used Unlimited that we turned into an open cockpit with outboards; 4 420 hp special built Mercury's... They wanted a wing for the back, just like the F1 cars of the day, don't think they tested it in a wind tunnel... So I built a full width by 3 foot S glass/epoxy NACA wing for them, never found out if it worked. I'm not even sure what "working" meant. It ate 100 gal/hr and didn't carry enough fuel to get to Bimini. But it was pretty cool.
center console boats are specifically designed for fishing not partying. the design let's you move around the boat unobstructed while you fight the fish and maximizes deck space.
How can they get their boats out the bays when theyre packed? Do they lift them out or something? Or are those some temporary places to store the boats?
Anyone else watch this and think of better ways to spend their time and money while simultaneously think "If I had a boat..." and build a craft they would want?
The smuggling drugs thing in the 80's made these boats get faster.. just like in the 20's with whiskey and prohibition did with cars .. now we have NASCAR and the NHRA ..
Long before the 80's young man.
I don't think that's what made these boats go faster. People have been racing speedboats for a while
well, seeing as the 100mph speedboat was WAY back in the 30s i think it goes a bit father back than that
ROBERT CASTILLO so... what I conclude is that ILLEGAL STUFF IS GREAT
Smuggling during Prohibition also included the use of boats modified with aircraft engines to move rum from the Caribbean.
100mph on the water is absolutely insane
That yellow Lamborghini boat can do 186 MPH top speed. That's nucking futs. I've done about 75 on a supercharged jetski and it was scary. Cant imagine these rockets
Michael Matthews Some boats can reach 350 mph but it gets dangerous at that speed, boat flipping is quite common when you go that speed.
I race hydroplanes and we go like 135 while sitting on a 2 in thick piece of ply wood
After 80 it’s no longer fun, especially if you are sitting in back seats as it feels like it’s ripping your hair from scalp

Cameraman is having a his time
i know which shots you mean. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm sure he saved a lot of private footage for himself ;)
7:25
he lived another day
Yewwww
Anybody else disappointed that Larry didn’t slap him?
"Whatsamatta for you"
That Lambo boat is really quick and fun but for how long, I guess you get tired of going 150mph in a straight line quite quickly...
Simon Vuille

Only a man with experience would say such a thing. Agreed though.
Simon Vuille Where else can one be bored, stressed, uncomfortable, deaf, and unable to see your date for so much money simultaneously?
I've been playing in this game or a long time, I still love it... headed out again today to get "bored"!
Boat: bust out another thousand. Two best days of boat ownership, the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Jokes aside the best days are spent on the water. Nothing quite like it.
One thing I don't get is... you pull up in your multi-thousand dollar boat (or million) and party with... a $20 bottle of rum?
thats all you can afford when you own a million dollar boat ;)
I just get cheap liquor and put it in a fancy glass
$20 rum for $20 hookers
They won’t give you alcohol on finance, that’s how you separate the pretenders
How about who cares like are you all of the sudden too good for $20 rum just because you have an insane boat?
I'm glad they're using MPH instead of knots.
anything for the plebs
1xtra299 I am a temporarily displaced millionaire thank you very much. JOBS!
John Smith KPH or nothing
Kilometers are less convenient a unit for high speed, as they are a bit small. Maybe if the video was about bicycles.
John Smith OOOHHHH SICK Buuuurn bro! I bet you rubbed one out after nailing that one
I love this Video,its one of the last video's too feature Larry Goldman who we lost this year, R.I.P. Larry Goldman you will be Greatly Missed
Just two words: Vice City
Miami Vice
Cocainum
Ay mrslav
This is some Grand Theft Auto Vice City type of shit.
how? you just said that because it was filmed in Miami.🤦🏾♂️
sad nigga hours You tried sounding smart, but nothing in GTA VC was filmed. It was made on a computer. It's a video game.
Валерия Карреон I was talking ab the video smart ass.
Its almost as if GTA Vice City was entirely based off of Miami 80's culture hmmmmmm
get ready to race hurricane Irma
Todd Brethauer Oh god
Funny thing is the water speed record stands at 318mph set in 1978 by a homemade boat
I LOVED Larry! He was one of the good guys to me back in the day. We could talk about the most obscure stuff and always had fun! RIP my brother..................
whats his company name
Hell yeah! This is the kind of content that brought me to the Motherboard channel a few years ago. I love it
I just love hearing the sounds of the engines at high speed. I don't like hearing music overpower the sound of the engines.
I miss Miami Florida. I have a lot of good memories from there. The need for speed will always exceed. Rock on Miami.
Youd think with that money they would buy better beer
I think he just said the first thing on his mind, ofc they'd have better beer
@@philspaghet there isnt really good beer in america tho come to the netherlands and drink beer here you will be like wtf america has pisswater
Furious Deer I’ve had great beers in Belgium and the Netherlands, but the US has fantastic beers. Far more creative too.
@@kevmehl maybe more crrative but not better than dutch german or belgian beer or ale
@@thedandy6765 Some better, some not. Bad beer is served in every country around the world. But as a whole, American beer has improved tremendously in the past 30 years and has won plenty of international awards. You said that there is no good beer in America, that's simply not true.

"everyone wants to be on a boat" yeah... cuz the city is literally sinking
adyagiler You mean the sea level is rising. Get your shit together.
you are correct, thank you for pointing that out.
SECONDQUEST
6 of one, half a dozen of the other...
water level rise or erosion, same end result.
adyagiler lol
No it's LITERALLY not sinking. Stop using that word when you don't mean it.
im very impressed that they knew to call them "go fasts"
I got a Donzi myself, but one thing I've learned over the decades..
Break
Out
Another
Thousand
Donzi is a classic
I wish this episode was longer. Very entertaining.
0:22 how the f are they getting their boats out of here 😂
I bet that old man seen a lot of keys
Key bumps for days. Bet all those boat keys have white tips
chilling on the beach on easter and im buried in snow and freezing cold ......i love you miami!!!
i hope that guy wore his sunscreen
And condoms
@@wickedreelz5028 😂
Great video man. Envious you got to drive that bad ass machine
Center console boats were made for fishing. So you can walk around the whole boat to track the line.
Thanks for that.
Beautiful machines. I live in the heart of the ,"Go Fast," boating culture, and it is turning into a bunch of guys who have a lot more money and boat ,than they have boating skills. Which has actually made it dangerous for everyone involved.

Can’t wait to buy one
When they run out of fuel by the end of day, and you keep on sailing for a few weeks. xD
I remember back in the day I would spend the night fishing on the beach and all night you would hear the massive inboard engines cruising all night yet running no lights. The drug running was insane.
Awesome seen, I won't be looking at the boats in the Chicago shore the same anymore

GTA Vice City is the best!
my father has one of these boats but lives in Michigan off lake michigan and man is it beautiful
Should have played the Miami Vice theme to your opening :)
I can't get the Miami vice theme song out of my head!

The temperatures and water mixed with the money, the Vegas of boating
So trippy seing them go to haulover park. Used to go their all the time
0:22 Are these boats completely boxed in? How would you even pull out of the harbor?
Kenworth W900 and a trailer that uses hydraulics to haul it down the road at almost 90° on one side.
@@2azz539 wow thats crazy
@@23shipoopi23 Its the only way they can tow the boats, if it was down flat itd be too wide for thee road
That is a boat show. Docks are there temporarily.
EXCELLENT BIT.
Wow. That is siiiiiiick!!! Where's the electric boat?
Boats are awesome...when your friend has one. Otherwise they are way too much of a headache.
Couldn't agree more owning a boat is a huge pain in the ass in my opinion! But because I have some family and friends that own them I spend most of my boating experience enjoying them and not dealing with all of the issues that come with them.
@anonymous wtf lol?!?! so your an assuming moron?
Yeah but I'll bet you can't ollie it
RIP Jose Fernandez
Hope these boats are ok. Irma hammering Miami now.
All I need is my 16ft skiff ❤️
I think I saw captain stabbin with one of these!
You had me at "Miami" !
Bad ass boats , love it...
RIP Larry Goldman
I never thought id hear 165 mph being the fastest boat in their facility. Even west coast boat makers have boats going over 180
4:08 i have those same socks
30 years in the future? half the city below sea line.....
Siri good thing thay have boats
Water attracts all kinds of people. rich or poor.
But only the super rich will go faster then the rest.
Money is power. Power makes a boat go fast.
Simple concept.
I would be right there with them if I had a few millions to spare.
It doesn't take millions to go fast. It does take millions to go fast, look cool, and pay for hookers all in the same day.
I like how they chose an overcast day for the Canadian to go out on the water. Pretty sure he'd have burned up like a vampire, if they didn't.
Awesome videos
Motherboard is like the less leftist Vice. Very cool. Keep it up
it's still left wing. but it doesn't do much politics.
You do realize that Motherboard is owned by Vice, right?
Jusonn99 ha ha fuck
Vice is leftist... Full of idiotic leftists.

@5:27 hey motherboard when did you guys have access to midnight express?
I would like to know what happened to the powerboat that was used in the filming of Thunder in paradise?
Amazing
The oiltank, in Germany we say "Trockensumpfschmierung" that sounds beautiful i think
RIP Larry Goldman, you were a good guy and did a lot for the offshore game!
The music playback is dope
OMG LOL are those Twin Turbo Chevrolet LS engines with lambo covers ???
Damn piston engines... Turbines for life!!
will Miami become the new Venice?
Most likely, but imagine a futuristic version, beautiful!!! P.s I live in miami :)
Oh boy, Miami becoming more of a tourist place?
Yeah, I can't wait for tourists to use my home city as a playground more often.
you mean it will sink into the sea? well.. with global warming...
It's That Weird Person Over There Bro, Miami hasn't really ever stopped growing it's tourist industry. DEAL WITH IT. Or leave.
SECONDQUEST agreed 100% Miami is so beautiful nothing like it

This will be the next theme of fast and furious.
Happiest day is buying a boat,
2nd happiest day is selling it.
That hasn't changed...
It will change once you're buying and selling planes
Miami looks like the place to be !
Nor-Tech has the fastest center consul.
Those look like the speeders from that scene in star wars episode 2, when he’s chasing after Obi-wan on that assassin droid.
All of that" is Drug money. 😈👺😈
Just want to say that is very respectful to take your shoes off before stepping in one of these works of art.
First guy needs a pair of 1550s or 1750s. Then he'd be in the high 160s
Everyone doesn't want a boat, it's better to have a friend with a boat. Owning one yourself is a fucking nightmare.
How can they get their boats out the bays when theyre packed? Do they lift them out or something? Or are those some temporary places to store the boats?
Rest In Peace Leary gone but never forgotten
115 hp johnson Hydrosport 19' Bass boat can run 60+ mph. $3500."Get some."
Thanks bud. It is real. Hydro sport kevlar hull they made a great Bass boat now only big water boats.
This has also had an effect on jetskies as they are now approaching 130mph.
3:01 yea he looks like a bad azz in that awesome boat! LOL!
0:22 how the F do they get those big boats out of there??!!
Anyone else watch this and think of better ways to spend their time and money while simultaneously think "If I had a boat..." and build a craft they would want?
That dude's face and hair looks windswept.
Yeah, he looks like he’s doing 140 mph standing still
Throwback to the fake Marina and land docked yachts at the 2022 Miami Grand Prix.
Razor ,,spot on son 👌🏼Now addsee the Barnet
Rest in Peace Larry Goldman
Awsome vid
That voice crack @ 1:37 😍🤣
Cue the Miami Vice tunes!
:22 how do those boats facing each other get out to do boat stuff
Offshore racing, DrUg sMUggLinG, and sandbar partying......lol
Anywhere else in the US, center consoles are used for their intended purpose of deep sea fishing. Miami will be Miami though
Because Florida?
