!!!!! This is Hillsborough River in Tampa Florida yes it is Gator infested waters no there is not a scuba diver holding the boat under!!!! RC boats have A tendency to dive underwater we call it submarining. But the boat will normally pop up one second later or two seconds later if it stays underwater obviously there's an issue. When it went under water it happened right in front of a gator and the gator must have thought it was a turtle or something and snatched it and then swam off with it did a complete circle and released it somewhere underwater off the end of the dock because it was traveling forward when it came up out of the water you can see the bubble lines leading up to wear it pops out again. After doing some research I found out this is a territorial ACTIVITY. apparently during mating season they hunt one area and they will consecutively hunt the exact same spot they will do circles claiming the area so it makes sense why the boat almost ended up right back where it took off. The gator realized it wasn't food and released IT.
You're a brave man..i fall up the stairs like 4 times a day..i can literally walk across a floor and trip over my own freaking feet..so me on a pier period by gator infested waters would be like a buffet dinner bell...because at some point my less then gracious ass is falling into that water... :)
Would have been crazy if the gator decided to mess with you back and let it go and followed it up to you and waited for you to retrieve it and try to grab you ... That would have sucked ... Also I'm surprised the r.c. was still running g after being under water that long
fishtremble2002 Michigan here✋🏼 too! and I agree with about retrieving the boat. When he reached down to grab it, which was to slow I thought for sure the vlog was going to end differently!
Hell, a couple years ago one was pulled from the Perkiomen Creek after it snatched a Canadian goose. This is PA, too far north, so had to be someone releasing a pet.
Excellent video bro!! We have been living in Marco Island, Florida for a few years now but took early retirement and moved back to our hometown in Illinois last November. Saw plenty of Gators, huge snapping turtles and poisonous snakes to last me a lifetime lol. We can now go out on nature walks and not worry about being eaten or poisoned!! Will miss the warm winters tho!!
Unbelievable. I had to search to see if something like this happened I certainly didn't expect that you would get the boat back. That's an amazing piece of footage.
Ha ha That was awesome man! I'm in northern florida myself on the Nature coast, we see some big gators out here, they will gobble up some stuff huh....lol
Sorry I’m a noob when it come to rc boat. What kind of boat is that and how much it goes for it? I’m planing to move to Florida and will love to have a nice RC boat. Which one do you guys recommend
I don't know why I sounded like Seinfeld I'll have to look into that. Yes some of us UA-camrs are still active and communicate with people that comment 😂
Wow, that was amazing! A gator grabbed your boat, took it under swam over to the dock to show you, swam around for awhile, then swam back to the exact same spot where he snatched it and released it totally unharmed, not a mark on it! Incredible! Maybe should have waited till April 1 to post this one, lol!
+Lord FlyQuad I'm telling you I have never in my life seen anything like it all I saw was the boat stickers zigzagging through the water than legs and a tail. This is their mating season so they're very territorial right now my guess like I said is that's probably his bedding ground where he hunts and fishes
Drone Worship - Dude, I have this thing where I'm always a skeptic .... it even pisses off my family because I'm always saying, "Yeahhhhh,..... Riiiiiigghhhtttt". I'd be much more likely to believe this if there wasn't that one cut between the boat going under and the appearance of the gator near the dock. I'm no expert on video (or anything else!), but it seems the video cuts but the audio doesn't. if it was one continuous clip, I'd be more likely to believe it. Do you have the raw clip from start to finish, uncut? Either way, you rock, dude... you either had a one in a million experience, or you're a hell of a video editor!!!
Lord FlyQuad the only I zoomed-in on the boat underwater was so that you could see the boat under the water lol. it's going to be harder to see it with the original cut you'll see what I'm talking. make sure your screen brightness is all the way up
OK DW.... I finally received my FT011, and since I recently purchased an FT012, I have seen I can use both boats with one of the transmitters, as it binds to each one individually. So no need to waste 6 extra batteries. So got a back up transmitter now.NOTE: Both boats have the Newer Upgraded ESC though.
This vid was worth watching twice man. Gator takes your RC boat and spits it back out... Only to reactivate it and run it back to you.. Wow.. Unheard of.. Thanks for sharing. DW.
That is CRAZY! I would not step in that water...lucky you got that boat back.... How cool would it have been if you had a camera on the boat! he probably thought it was a duck or something diving under water and snatched it ...he was probably like what the hells this thing!
The gator didn't pull it off the surface the boat dived and it just happened to Dive Right In Front of an alligator that was waiting to catch dinner it was snatched underwater and then dragged around and then I'm assuming he figured it was a turtle or something and let it go
First look at an oldie but goodie. You would think the boat would have some scars, but the gator may have been small. He also didn’t have a stomach for plastic
Thanks for answering my question about, will a gator attack rc boat. We have a neighborhood pond with a gator. I pull the boats out when he slides in the water.
@@IFixShet "MOIS FAMILY TECH" On UA-cam had his Vector SR48 Bit Hard by one! video title is "AFTERMATH OF ALLIGATOR ATTACK" His SR48 has TEETH MARKS in it❗
@@IFixShet Ya btw You should check out the Volantex Vector SR65 I think it's going to be my next boat was going for the FT011 but I like the build quality of the SR65 & it has "Automatic" Self Righting so no power is needed to self right & no dogbone in the driveline to fool with. Thanks for your great boat vids Really Enjoy❗Be Safe😷
You're insane if you think a scuba diver is going into the Hillsborough River with an average of 12 ft and 10 foot Gators in Nature's Classroom.... people that think this stuff is fake is absolutely silly to me I'll tell you what just to rub the wound worse for you this video Revenue has made me $700 deal with it b****! 😂😂😂
Dudeee, that gator went completely unnoticed back to where it first snatched the boat-ish. You could've lost a hand if it unintentionally let it go and was following it! O.o
I think if it was a gator that grabbed the boat, it never moved from that spot, and what u saw swimming was something/another gator(?) u scared away, but not the one with the boat. That just seems weird that it would take the boat away, and THEN go release it BACK in the spot it caught it from. Unless u could actually see for sure that what swan by actually did have ur boat. I could see something, but sure couldn’t tell if it was a boat/boat in mouth.
Well seeing as I was there and I know what I saw I'm going to go ahead and say that what you have written here isn't quite accurate. I could clearly see through the water the big issue here is that the GoPro on my head was only recording at 1080p at 30 frames per second so obviously trying to zoom in and show you something underwater in this environment is almost impossible but I did my best. Also this behavior is not abnormal for turtles when they get grabbed by alligator the gator will swim with them for a minute realize it's not food and then release it. Officer stevanus of the Temple Terrace Police Department who is our water officer explained that normally during breeding season alligators become territorial and they will grab ducks and other things off the surface but they swim in a giant Circle that they consider their hunting ground. The boat was released at almost the exact same spot it went down because that's where the gator waits for food. Trust me there's no scuba diver sitting there underwater with 10 and 12 foot Gators holding my boat down for this video to be made lol
Man I’m checking out this video again and I can’t believe you grabbed the boat out of the water with your hand lol, the gator was setting you for a rip-off!
DW... you obviously shot that rascal into his mouth. I watched the long vid of it. All I can figure by seeing it a 2nd time. Good Steering, Dude!!! You plannned this with that gator, dude.
!!!!! This is Hillsborough River in Tampa Florida yes it is Gator infested waters no there is not a scuba diver holding the boat under!!!!

Hey man. Did you get the GoPro footage back from the boat?
@@MrBoDiggety nope go pro never made it back
I live just across the 56th st bridge from here.. the gators down this part are pretty shy unless they've been fed..

Come On Pop Up Lmao 💯
@@IFixShet so you had alot of fun :D, worth it

“Let’s see if he releases it”
I know nothing about gators but when you reached for the boat i almost shit myself right there and then.
Rght wldnt catch me near the waters edge
Same
Good way to lose your hand.

Right!
he was trying to lure you in, using the boat as bait lmao
Big brain gator
Him: *Points at the alligator*
Me: *Cant see it*
Also me: "I'm blind as f*ck"
😂 😂 😂
I feel ya im blind as shit also
Plot twist: It's an RC alligator.
😂 😂 😂
After all that and the guy still have balls to reach his hand into the water to retrieve his boat. 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Trust me I lack common sense
Lmao 🤦 at least your honest. I was just watching that movie Crawl and then i get this recommended to me haha. Stay safe man!
damm, after seeing the gator grap his RC, i was thinking no way this guy gonna drive it back the retrive it right :V
*Slowly at that lol*
I have Steve Irwin blood in me
Would have been crazy if the gator decided to mess with you back and let it go and followed it up to you and waited for you to retrieve it and try to grab you ... That would have sucked ... Also I'm surprised the r.c. was still running g after being under water that long
I was thinking the same thing idk if I would've had the balls to grab it lmao
don't worry, he's off looking for a turtle. lol
Well it is an rc vehicle meant to get water inside it and drive in water
When I was little I was driving my RC car around and a big black snake chased it and wrapped around it for a sec then took off in the woods

😂 😂 😂
Dude: This boat amuses me
Gator:
2:15 just imagine a gator jumps out of nowhere and bites him
Yeah bro that would have been so crazy that would have definitely made the video
Ummm if that happened he'd be dead. If he died then their would be no video.
Can't argue with that logic
@@IFixShet hahaha

"did you see that? A gater got it" literally reaches in shortly after to pick it up with the gator still around.
Yep I will never forget that ominous feeling of it anxiety that rolled over me the moment I reached down to pick it up
Dude! crazy.
glad the gator didn't like the test of plastic. lol
Unbelievable. I had to search to see if something like this happened I certainly didn't expect that you would get the boat back. That's an amazing piece of footage.
It was definitely an interesting day to say the least
this is why we carry cameras .that doesnt happen everyday or anyday.your the man that was awesome!
scott Stephens exactly!
super awesome video no way Gator took your RC boat wow keep up the good work my brother you're amazing at least your RC boat did not get damaged
That was the best laugh I have had in a long time!!!!!
First video I watch!.. just subb’d after seeing you on Beneks stream!
Hell yeah you just earned yourself a sub
I cant believe you got it back!!
C Ray Tech me either!
The alligator waiting for you to go get it.
Damn! Such a cool thing to catch on camera! Seriously those gators got skills to snatch that thing in such a stealthy way. Wow. Just wow.
Ha ha That was awesome man! I'm in northern florida myself on the Nature coast, we see some big gators out here, they will gobble up some stuff huh....lol
That’s crazy bro. It’s even better you got it on camera.
Last video of the day, this is all i needed to see today.
😂 😂 😂
The gator be like 'I had a remote for this thing here somewhere' 😂
awesome, once in a lifetime video.👍

RcHobbies BK this is the Ft 12, the boat you really want is the Ft 11 by Feilun. Brushless 4S speed boat very fast for about $100
I love how he goes in with his bare hands to grab the boat after seeing that gator lol
Lmao 😂 this came in my recommended I can’t believe it came back dude
Yes apparently this video has picked up some kind of algorithm after 3 years weirdly enough
Works for me dude! That was hilarious lol
I would say All Things Considered it went pretty smoothly at the time it happened
@@IFixShet reply to me.
You can see it for a split second when you first notice the gator carrying the off. Welcome to Florida
Gators also despise drones and will actively try to take them down if they get too close
This is crazy!!!! Omg ,bro you got it back 1😃😃😃😃
hope ya bought a lottery ticket later that day !! thumbs up from Lake George, NY ;-)

That’s one tough little boat , didn’t expect it to survive 😅😅😅.
I didn't expect to get it back either

Great boat there sir.

*boat gets eaten by alligator*
wow great footage
Everybody gangsta till the gater snatches the boat:

He was giving you a grande tour of his new crib
well that's a first for me seeing something like that , So cool DW >>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
