This incident happened a few hours ago at Haulover Inlet. Unfortunately, the captain lost the boat in the waters of Haulover Inlet. What do you think could have happened?
I have no idea but the pump ain't removing the water for whatever the reasons? Worse is that this boat will never be the same even if they tow it in & dry her out. The damage salt-water does when it gets into even the best protected places is still one that will cause the next owners a problem, forEVER..... that's a tough thing about boats. peace
@@timtreeborgsonjen1533 > if that were true they would have known before they got out too far? Plugs are put in from the inside & they'd have put it in & pumped out the water. Either way, water came in & the pump didn't keep up so it sank. Bad no matter why it happened but I'd love to hear the truth?
The level of incompetence demonstrated by everyone involved was remarkable. It is not possible to hide incompetence in boat operation or in boat assistance.
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY should have been called right away especially when that tri Powered "Double ??" i think he had enough power to tow him into the shallows. Faster response time more part on that DOUBLE Yacht with tri power could have pulled him in
I really like the guy standing in a sinking boat, holding a pfd in his hands: "I'll put it on when my feet get wet." The other guy is hanging out in the cockpit, waiting for the boat to roll and trap him.
It wasnt going anywhere. There was 4 rescue personnel before it even went over, plus 2 smooth brains on jet ski's and the charter boat... well they couldn't be bothered.. they were fine and where the boat was when the anchor finally caught was kicking out into calm water. That's an easy swim without a pdf.. and on the down side of all, that easily could have been his entire business that he lost because a jetski couldn't hold on (questionable) and a charter boat said "ahh it's going to sink why bother" The dude who threw the anchor was screaming for help, not picked up in this vid be he did comment on another said he was begging for the jersey guy to help tow in but... he also said first thought was throw anchor, which I agree dead motors in a strong current you can't steer best you can do is anchor, sadly, the anchor caught after the motors were sunk which is usually 75% of the cost. Hopefully he had insurance or soaked the motors and cleaned the salt water out then... oh damn I'm watching them drag the boat back, it's missing a motor. Thats a cool 20k gone.. f diving in that tide to float a motor. Atleast he didn't cap himself once he knew it was a lost cause. Depending on circumstances I totally wouldn't blame him
He was actually talking to the coast guard and completely sober. He sent a DSC Distress call and had his MMSI properly programmed into the radio so when the coast guard couldn’t hail him on 16 they called the cell number on file.
A good swimmer can do a lot better without a life jacket on but if you're going to be a drift for a while your life jacket is necessary the children and most people need to wear them or at least have them handy where you can get them quickly and everybody knows where they are at but stress children must wear them some Skippers will put the kids in the bow of the boat and wash them overboard going through the inlet
It's a credit to these videos showing us what types of boats react to different circumstances, having no transom barrier to rear waves ingress is one of the worst designs for a boat that size
@@PORSCHE_COUNTRY. the 1st boat had twin 200 optis. those are 520 lbs each . transom design isnt going to do squat if the bilge is out and the drainplug isnt in, or you have an issue with a modified livewell. you should see the modified pumps some of these geniuses put in that can easily overwhelm its own bilge!
In many cases an open transom can save a boat from sinking. For example - I was on a 21 foot center console with an open transom when it took a rogue wave over the gunwale. The boat was half full of water. The owner was at the console - put it in gear and hit the throttle - 90 percent of the water went out over the transom. In a closed transom boat - we would have capsized on the next wave. If you forget the plug - or have any kind of major leak - a closed transom will not save you.
Open transom plus waves crashing from the stern flooded the boat. Saw this happen recently to a boat at my dock. It was tied up when a storm rolled in. Took water through an open transom and got so heavy in the back it just went under water. Bilge pump couldn't keep up.
LOOK CLOSELY...THE ENTER BACK SECTION TO THE ENGINES, TRANSOM APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF...you can see the exposed foam and fiberglass where the vessels frame use to be....
It should have a deck drain. My boat could take waves over the stern all day and the water could no way get down into the bilge. In fact, the bilge pump never runs. Not only that, I saw no bilge pump running. That boat is filling from the bilge/bottom up. No plug in the hull is my guess, but I have never heard of an "Ocean-Master", so who knows?
agree, this boat by design has a lower transom, there was nothing ripped off the back. just one really good wave was able to get over that lower transom . This is the main reasonnwhy I will never own a boat with a lower transom.
@@JoseVazquez-lj1ir exacly it. open transom are not bueno i had a boat with open transom like that never again it had so much water coming in from the back all the time
The first vessel could hand off a line with a good size shackle through the eye then couple it to the anchor-line,The tie his line across the stern come ahead the shackle will ride down the anchor line reaching the anchor lifting it then towing ahead it will lift the anchor and he can cone ahead slow to remove water.Ive retrieved 4 vessels this way by the way it looks like they ran it out of fuel
It doesn’t have it. Some brands have minimal in the stringers. Boston Whaler, Everglades, Edgewater and Key West are completely foam filled and won’t sink this way.
My guess is they either forgot the plug (I've done it too) or ran out of gas in the worst possible place for that specific boat design with a low transom. They then dropped the anchor, which would have helped, except they were in the worst possible place because of that low transom. With it anchored they were bow into that strong current, forcing the bow up, while their transom is forced lower and facing into standing waves over topping that transom and sinking the boat.
@@nephewbob7264 I started Good Seamaritan Rescue in 1958 with a 13-foot Boston Whaler in Long Island sound... We NOW use personal watercraft... When I tell you it can be done under certain circumstances it can be done... The wind and Tide was taking the boat out anyway all he had to do was drag it around the corner and Beach it on the sand... But thanks for asking 👍👍👍
@@nephewbob7264 How do you think one man with a paddle can move a boat 10 times its size? The weight of a boat is not of importance, it's the resistance.
in Australia and the state I live in, its part of the safety checks before you put the boat into the water. Also the boat with 4 motors most likely could have towed them out but clearly too busy recording it. and prop's to all the jetski guys sticking around incase they were needed.
Gear Locker Door was left open. Can see it swinging back and forth. Would think this would be a self draining cockpit but likely flooded the interior of the hull and that was about the end of it.
The way you italicized and bolded the "unfortunate" and "regret" almost makes me think you were in in the sinking of a rotten boat or something haha. Like you knew it was "not an accident"
Amazing, soon as the cops got there the boat decides to sink like a rock. Like it wanted to make a scene at the last minute 🤣. those guys are lucky that didn't happen further out at sea.
A couple observations: They did not panic. Skipper got the PFDs out in plenty of time (it would have been better if the Skipper actually put it on and secured it). Intentional or not, having the anchor set before leaving the boat means no one can claim salvage. While posting comments, remember this poor guy just lost a very expensive boat and it could have ended much worse.
They were calm af. I'm the guy sitting on the rocks in the beginning of the video. They knew something was going wrong. Went to address it, engines wouldn't crank, he threw the anchor in a terrible spot, but he did it far enough in that if it caught, they would have been safe. It didn't catch until closer to the mouth on the right side near the beach where it's shallow. The poor guy was pleading with the jet ski to help in anyway because he knew they were going to sink. Had the boat with the tower come in 2 minutes earlier they would have saved this from happening
if you can afford an expensive boat, you're probably not a "poor guy" and are free game for lols from armchair captains. lol. imagine watching this just to watch boats go splosh splosh through the waves, you'd have to be on the same spectrum as the fellows obsessed with trains. i skip through until something goes under water.
@@dissimulii You sound like a salty teenager who has never had anything nice. People like you end up being the biggest cry babies because of your own jealousy.
@@dissimulii Know your boats? Looked worn out to me with old freek'n engines. Some people love sport fishing so much they risk all. If that happened near the Gulf stram they would found their skeletons in Gallway Bay. Glad they made it.
Not sure how this happened but one thing I do is always check my bilge for leaks and the smell of gas. I check when I start my boat and the engine is at neutral and I check again after I leave the channel when the engine is running at regular speed.
So when these boats sink here by Haulover, and they actually go down, to the bottom, what happens to them? Do they sit on the bottom, forever, becoming structure for the underwater critters? Or do diving crews go down and somehow salvage them, somehow bring them back up? Or.....?
In this scenario some dumbass in a blue Towboat hooks a line on it, parbuckles it upright and gets the water pumped out and floating again. (That’s me, I’m the dumbass in the blue Towboat at 12:30)
@@4exgold thanks man, the 900hp makes jobs like this a lot easier. I can usually flip them by just getting a line on the trailer eye and pulling hard. On a smaller boat with twin 200-300’s you usually have to throw a second line on the stern to help roll it over.
They did help. One guy carried one of the boaters to the police boat and I think the other grabbed some of their stuff because I saw them handing something onto the boat after they got on. Helped a lot more than "I can totally pull this boat with one hand" guy.
Paddleboarders can do something and do very often save people who get in trouble in the water. I used to dispatch on the coast, and surfers and paddle boarders don't get the credit they deserve for the number of people they haul out of the water.

Well definitely not just by hanging onto the strap. Did the guy not figure it out the first 3 times that he wasn't going to be able to just hang on and pull the boat like Superman?
Correct Alfred. We had an 18ft all wood racing sail called the Leakin' Lena. The slats had to soak up to close the gaps so it sank to the gunnels every year when we put it in. It was a real bear to tow in a lake with no current. Bye the way love your videos.
Easily could've towed it to the beach , and waited till it empty out find the hole or problem with leaks and fix them up , ask people nicely to help push it back to the water😊
@@TheCactusjack1agree. I would have not dropped anchor, or at least only let out so much line to "park" it on a stationary wave. Anyway, the first order of business should be to don a life vest to make rescuing you an easier and less time constrained task.
I know nothing about boats, but could the captain have turned the boat around to waves were coming to front of boat instead of back of boat until mechanical issue fixed or towed?
Small boats should come with emergency inflatable bags in the cabin to provide buoyancy. Maybe something similar externally at the stern to prevent the engines from going full under.
I have a CC with a similar open transom. He likely lost power, they dropped anchor from the bow which allowed waves over the stern. Perhaps they should have dropped anchor from the stern so the bow would take the waves or not drop the anchor. The positive of the open transom is that I can stuff the bow or take waves over the stern but as long as I have power, i kick up the bow and all the water rushes out the stern in seconds.
Older boat with I’ll bet already waterlogged wooden stringers and transom and finally the weight with extra water in any under deck voids overcame the buoyancy. You could see what looked like chips and cracks on the keel and bottom that probably contributed to a totally waterlogged hull.
@seansean9675 The white boat with the tower didn't have to be yelled at. The white boat immediately came to help when they realized what was wrong. The blue boat is a charter and went past 2 minutes after all this started and saw the white boat and jet skiers helping. There is also nothing the blue boat could have done anyway.
The Skis were more helpful then the clueless cop who couldn't handle waves, almost ran over the anchor line then had zero control of the situation when he had swimmers at his engines. What the hell was he looking for in his cooler another beer? That is the most pathetic part.
@seansean9675I’m literally in this video sitting on the rocks. I have the exact moment the seavee turned and came to help on camera. The blue boat couldn’t have helped if he wanted to other than calling it in due to the location and proximity to waves/rocks. Nobody is going to wreck their own boat to help someone who is already safe.
@@4exgold I'm talking about when two descend on a helpless boat at once, both trying their hardest to get the gig. I assume that, once they are hooked up, you pay whether you need them or not. I do give them kudos for helping, they're just too aggressive about it when competing..
@crypto1701 OK i see what u mean. It's probably still cheaper in the long run if you get the boat towed back to safety rather than the hassle of it potentially getting more damaged or even sinking.
Round 1 was scored a 10-8 round for Haulover. Haulover landed a few shots and then nearly submitted the boat with a Stockton Triangle Choke. The round ended before herb dean could call stoppage. Boat took a lot of damage.
My guess is leak or drain plug missing, there is water reaching floor level already at the beginning, salt water shorting the battery or something and engines shuts off. Back heavy due to water combined with low transom at the worst moment, or maybe it was at the best moment instead off sinking way off shore...

@@TheCactusjack1agree. I would have not dropped anchor, or at least only let out so much line to "park" it on a stationary wave. Anyway, the first order of business should be to don a life vest to make rescuing you an easier and less time constrained task.
Why did it take the water Po-po so long to arrive??
I know nothing about boats, but could the captain have turned the boat around to waves were coming to front of boat instead of back of boat until mechanical issue fixed or towed?
They should invest in some decent PFD’s
Looks like classic…”I thought YOU put the plug in”
upturned boat being towed had a prop missing..my quest is water got in thru the prop shaft housing...
The drain plug was not installed ?
Lost or no drain plug
Anchor sealed they fate
Thanks for sharing this for awareness. I’ve heard stories about other bodies of water with this phenomenon in Arkansas and Mississippi.
Why does the water look green? Used to be a pretty blue.
Small boats should come with emergency inflatable bags in the cabin to provide buoyancy. Maybe something similar externally at the stern to prevent the engines from going full under.
Gosh, this sucks. What a bummer for these people. Really wish we had some follow up on all these boats and what happened?
Looked like that capsized boat was a twin out drive but only one drive was visible while it was being towed.
what vanquished Vanquish?
Frage: wie tief ist denn die Fahrspur im "haulover"? 🤔
More water on the inside than there was outside ?
why did yall not get on the sea doo to get yall too shore
Newer boats have way to many inlet and outlet holes below waterline could have been any number of those for the live well or whatever
I have a CC with a similar open transom. He likely lost power, they dropped anchor from the bow which allowed waves over the stern. Perhaps they should have dropped anchor from the stern so the bow would take the waves or not drop the anchor. The positive of the open transom is that I can stuff the bow or take waves over the stern but as long as I have power, i kick up the bow and all the water rushes out the stern in seconds.
Drainplug?
I'm a pretty big fan of closed transoms.
I want to know how that last boat sank...... looked expensive
Drain plugs and bilge pumps can do some crazy stuff 😅
The dudes laying flamboyantly(no pun intended) on the board watching was funny af
Looks pretty clearly like the motors are in REVERSE, right?
I was out there today and In person it looks way more scary
The bow on that last one is shaped very much like the ww1 dreadnought battleships
Older boat with I’ll bet already waterlogged wooden stringers and transom and finally the weight with extra water in any under deck voids overcame the buoyancy. You could see what looked like chips and cracks on the keel and bottom that probably contributed to a totally waterlogged hull.
open transom into a seaway. never understood that design
Supposed to have a self bailing deck, but if hatches aren't secured, water gets down into the hull and it's tough to recover without engine power
its safer since it self bails. you dont want a cutout transom in big seas... no way to get the water out.
It looks like someone forgot to put the drain plug in on that gray and red Vanquish !
Does that hull not have any internal buoyancy?
I'm thinking his transom plug either broke/popped out, or he forgot to put it in. (Don't) ask me how I know.
It's now an official Virginia class submarine
If you have an open transom make sure your deck is sealed and bilge pumps in great shape.
You need a Brain cell for that.
Another prime example of how jet skis and jet ski operators are absolutely worthless.
That was pretty pathetic i have to agree
@seansean9675 The white boat with the tower didn't have to be yelled at. The white boat immediately came to help when they realized what was wrong. The blue boat is a charter and went past 2 minutes after all this started and saw the white boat and jet skiers helping. There is also nothing the blue boat could have done anyway.
It is nice the jet skis at least try to help, but it is worthless, because the are underpowered to haul a boat.
The Skis were more helpful then the clueless cop who couldn't handle waves, almost ran over the anchor line then had zero control of the situation when he had swimmers at his engines. What the hell was he looking for in his cooler another beer? That is the most pathetic part.
@seansean9675I’m literally in this video sitting on the rocks. I have the exact moment the seavee turned and came to help on camera. The blue boat couldn’t have helped if he wanted to other than calling it in due to the location and proximity to waves/rocks. Nobody is going to wreck their own boat to help someone who is already safe.
Where are the predatory tow boats on the first one?
predatory? that seems a bit harsh when no other boats want to (or are unable to) help tow it back.
@@4exgold I'm talking about when two descend on a helpless boat at once, both trying their hardest to get the gig. I assume that, once they are hooked up, you pay whether you need them or not. I do give them kudos for helping, they're just too aggressive about it when competing..
@crypto1701 OK i see what u mean. It's probably still cheaper in the long run if you get the boat towed back to safety rather than the hassle of it potentially getting more damaged or even sinking.
@@4exgold I agree.. I'm just used to seeing them get there a whole lot quicker than that.
I wouldn't have anchored it in that situation. I think that greatly attributed to the boat sinking.
Incompetence just reached new heights in that first clip..
Dude lost power and got swamped, his anchor sealed his fate.
Yes, was thinking the same. Better to have keet anchor ⚓ up, float out with current and get a tow. Cheaper than what went down.
Don’t drop anchor,let wave runner guy turn you into head sea at least buys you time..
Round 1 was scored a 10-8 round for Haulover. Haulover landed a few shots and then nearly submitted the boat with a Stockton Triangle Choke. The round ended before herb dean could call stoppage. Boat took a lot of damage.
how many drones ya'll got lol - 3 surrounding it lol 7:44
WAIT. FOR. IT.
Plug wasn't put on?
Should have gotten on the radio to SeaTow immediately instead of trying to tow with the Jet ski.
Blown out transom?
What made you think that? I thought it was { No Drain Plug }
After looking at the video after so many minutes, why didn’t they start pulling the boat in from the beginning 🤷🏾♂️
Some of these mistakes are too funny, but others are downright terrifying!
My guess is leak or drain plug missing, there is water reaching floor level already at the beginning, salt water shorting the battery or something and engines shuts off. Back heavy due to water combined with low transom at the worst moment, or maybe it was at the best moment instead off sinking way off shore...
Prolly jet skis should have cleats?
What a great place to put your boat in when you can’t make the payments anymore, and its on video😂
