What do you think went wrong here for the Freeman? Is it the Captains fault for leaving the helm? 😳
He's missing a lower unit on one engine. For starters.
Think cupcake inherited some change from his or her side, & took the boyz out & knows jack chit about boating!
left-most engine was missing the entire lower unit. Thinking they had a worse day before that inlet entrance
Driver!
There's a loose nut behind to wheel. Joe
That lady on the stalled boat was really good, no panic just did what was needed when it was needed.
No panic. Listening. Thinking. No talking unless necessary. Wife material.
Only thing I thought I saw was bringing the trolling motor up spinning. Probably forgot to turn it off first. Didn’t seem like it hit the boat though. 😊
If you leave it running in alot of current and when the boats moving it makes it easier to lift sometimes because it takes some pressure off it
7.17 pm. That lady was not really good, first thing to do was put your life jacket on.
She probably stopped panicking after a dozen or similar situations.. practice makes perfect!
The boat may have died but she didn't. A keeper for sure.
Girl sure knew her way around that boat! She can paddle my …. Canoe……anytime.
As long as she was reaching over to keep the boat off the sea wall she was a keeper for sure!
was nice of her to bend over like that for us. Attagirl!
Well, the port engine has no lower unit so perhaps that’s the issue…
So raise the far starboard motor as well. Then you you still have two in a neutral position.
hes still got 3 more engines, thats no excuse
I was referring to why his engine was trimmed. Almost hitting the wall was just being a shit helmsman.
There’s always that … and pilot error.
All the money in the world cant buy skill and common sense captain obviously isnt very good or all the checks on the list would have been done and double checked like the riggers still up !
Kudos to the other two boats for keeping their distance and not trying to pass.
That was me in the little contender behind him…. It was crazy to watch in real time…
They did not keep their distance, they crowded 1st boat the entire time, most importantly before even entering the tight spot. They are adding another 50% stress to 1st boat. Very tricky to for other boats to then drop back when situation pops up....
I'm not addressing 1st boats difficulties at all, bad luck or bad piloting.
Contender pilot: Upon picking up the channel 1000' before, either pass or set throttle to open up distance, (500' minimum) anything but staying right behind. I realize you weren't as close until 1st boat had difficulties.
@@someotherdude you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Boynton Inlet is a challenge. So much so that some people set up cameras to make youtube videos! The entrance is a 600' dog leg so you wouldn't see the Freeman from the mouth of the inlet and once you cross that threshold you're Committed. The current is RIPPING so there is not a lot of opportunity to change directions and head out. Due to the current it is actually harder to navigate as slow speeds so all 3 of these captains did a great job considering.
I don't understand how people don't stop to help, I always help when I see boaters stranded or needing help. It's what people do.
you stop to throw them a line in that current and you could very well end up on the seawall with them.
@@streetball396agreed! Can't help others if you can't help yourself!
@@streetball396 That's a real nice girly attitude there champ, hope to have you around in an emergency! Only thing you're good for is making the boys a sandwich!
It's Florida.
@@rx7dude2006 BULL! I've been out in the little boat that I overhauled the outboard on myself. The final carb adjustment needs done on the water to get right. I was off the channel, in a lightly traveled area, with the cowling off turning a screw and looked up and boats from both directions had already deviated from their lines headed my way.
I waved them off, saluted them, put the cowling back on, and even then one was still going slow until he seen me come out of the hole onto plane in 4 seconds.
Maybe around the lefty POS cities it's like you want to believe, but no where else I've been
Coast Guard veteran here and the interesting thing that stands out is the overall lack of life vests being worn while moving through the inlet. That lady in the bikini was asking for it. It brought back memories of some pretty crazy boardings.
Uk based here. I’m just amazed out how nobody in these shots wears a lifejacket. I sail in The Solent (UK’s busiest waterway) and it’s about 90% of the boaters power and sail wear them.
Really intrigued as to why they don’t seem to be worn in US
@@PhilbyFavourites Here in the US we have a problem with this freedom of personal choice thing. It seems most people don't like being told what to do even if it means doing something smart and easy that will save your life. The Coast Guard was a hyper safety focused service so a lot of that rubbed off on me. As the old saying goes: "A person's rights end where another persons rights begin." i.e. a person has the first ammendment right to the freedom of speech but that doesn't mean he can yell "FIRE!!!" in a crowded movie theater. Some people just don't get it.
Not sure how long ago you served or if currently active, however many now wear the self inflating vests..cooler and easier to maneuver. Some definitely aren't wearing but some you might not be able to tell.
Last time I was out on a larger sailboat everyone had to wear them since they also had connections to hoist (MOB stuff) I believe those were made by mustang but it's been a few years.
I also insist that underway everyone wears a pfd (including strobe whistle and plb when offshore)
@@duanesamuelson2256 I was in '73 to '79 and for sure things have changed. You make good points. The Coasy Guard was totally all about safety so it rubbed off on me and turned me into a saftey freak. My two most active small boat stations were Grand Isle Louisiana and Astoria Oregon right on the Colombia River bar. Both very active search and rescue units.
There was this guy with his wife and two young kids heading out to the oil rigs to fish in a 16ft, 16 inch free board, ski boat when around 3 miles out they ran out of fuel. They had no radio so a passing crew boat called the emergency in to us. The guy was a block-head who seemed not to listen to anybody. They had one PFD and it had a torn bottom strap. He wanted us to tow him out to the rig so they could fish then come and get them to tow them back in. Crazy stuff. Of course we refused, gave him enough fuel to get back in, and then followed to make sure they made it.
This is typical to the old missing fishermen call then a day later the boat is found capsized and adrift with all hands missing. Sometimes bodies would be found and we would have to go out and recover them. After a week we called them "strainers" because they were so badly decomposed we had to use the litter to sieve them up.
It was an amazing job.
@@PhilbyFavourites - land of the free/home of the brave and billboard lawyers - rock on -
What irony that the boat slamming into the wall was named "Reel Impact" 😂
That's what I thought.
He definitely made a REEL IMPACT in more ways than one.
Yes! I came to the comments just to find someone else who put that together 😂
They didn't call 'er that for nothing.
Lady on the stalled boat was a badass. Super capable and calm.
with no life jacket
Major props to the lady helping out the captain
Million Dollar Boat, Dime Store Captain.
The boat towards the end had a lot of air in the steering. You can see him turning the wheel like mad before the engine finally moves...something that should be checked before splashing but I'm guilty of not checking it myself.
That was my first thought, also. If hydraulic system, needed to be bled.
I had the seals go out on mine and it went from running great to do what this guys boat was doing on one trip without warning. It was a nightmare.
“Why is this engine trimmed up” *clearly missing the lower unit* I’ll never guess 🤣🤣
Engines are devious. They hold off failing until the worst possible time. Many, many years ago I lost my engine entering a very bad day in Jupiter inlet. That day taught me to always have the anchor rigged and ready for a quick deployment.
This is true. I have had to use my kicker a couple of times.
Same here, I had to drop anchor in the middle of Singer Island Inlet. Right in the shipping lane. Luckily The sheriff towed me to the dock. I had to cut anchor rope though. That was a very easy decision for me😅.
Rough waters; SO GREAT to see everyone exercising safety with their PFD’s on. 😳
Fishing, calm, flat waters, four hours in ,raging bipolar, Florida, thunder/lightning storm, my husband did great, had to get through Boynton inlet, which was packed, scariest ride of my life, almost ran into at least 10 waverunners, couple of boats that were shocked at how rough it got😱and didn’t know exactly what to do, then we ate at the waterway Café, because just like that the storm was over😂😂, even experienced boaters come across issues, we are dealing with mother nature, Floridian here👍🏻👍🏻, I love your footage/uploads🤘✌🏻💕
5:21 what a gentleman. not leaving the helm, making sure everyone is safe on the boat, gotta keep up with all that steering that needs to be done. letting his lady keep the boat off the rocks. 😂
The Key Largo had a good looking and fast acting first mate. The Reel Impact had the perfect name.
AND she's a hottie😊
Reel Impact boat was definitely having steering issues... you can see him cracking on the wheel and motor not turning. I had that issue with my boat a month ago. Low fluid would make it pretty much unsteerable above an idle. probably a hydraulic leak somewhere.
Saw the same thing at 6:58....going hard right on the wheel and there's no deflection change from the engine.....
7:05 - When you've named your boat to perfection
When I was maybe 17, my friend and I took a 16 ft flat bottom with a 60 out through Boynton Inlet but the engine died while out in the ocean (we did not go far). We used a trolling motor to get to the south side sea wall, he hopped out and pulled the boat with a rope through the inlet while walking along the sea wall and I manned the trolling motor to help. It was like 1AM, calm and low tide once we got to the west side wall and cut a left we were good and used the trolling motor to make it back to the ramp. I will never forget that.
I thought the lady bending over on the Key Largo would got the engine going ... got me going 😂😂😂
I never noticed this vessel was having any issues.....
What vessel? @@cgriebel1
That last boat 😍
For real
Reminds me of when my dad used to pull in the garage with our bikes on the roof
🤣😅😆
2:49 they were all kind of laughing at that poor shlub
They’re real fortunate that there wasn’t any traffic at that time. Leaving the helm at a critical time like that is a disaster waiting to happen. He’ll learn from this. People make mistakes. The literal example of “live & learn”.
Credit card captain.
You reckon he'll learn from this? Maybe...
I'd say it was a fuel issue on the stalled boat or possibly a faulty ground somewhere that got rocked in the chop. It was good to see the First Mate on that boat was more than just eye candy.
Look as it passes, Looks like the lower unit on the far port engine was removed.
The lady up front was on point with trolling motor great job
"Reel Impact" hitting the sea wall. 🤣🤣🤣
Now I see why they called that boat real impact. It likes to impact the walls.
Lmfaooooo
Reel* impact
at 5:30, I don't think the boat overheated, lol, that rarely happens when you have an abundance of cold water all around you. It does happen in muddy water if the intakes get clogged, for example, or if the impeller shreds itself due to age or neglect. Likely had a fuel related issue. Now, to the lady on the boat, she did one hell of a job moving that trolling motor in and out of the water, she handled it like a boss. Just the kind of wife/girlfriend you want when you're out on a boat.
Question is why didn't the Captain take advantage of the trolling motor to get some control, even to keep the boat in the middle away from the wall. I would have attempted to drift back out the inlet to then worry with the motor to be more safe.
@@Grady252 I have the same thoughs. trolling motor didnt seem to be running
@@Grady252 does that trolling motor have enough power to pull the boat through that heavy current?
The most important thing on any vessel is a competent Captain.
Florida leads the nation in boating accidents and deaths.
Well, I'm sure that the number is higher than Montana. However, because Florida is a big boating state, it should be based on a usage metric.
7:20 that is a steering issue. You see him cranking on the wheel, but the engine doesn't move.
2:46 even in slow mo it hurts seeing that head being thrown to the side with such force. This neck was tested to it's limits and I wouldn't be surprised if he went to see an emergency room afterwards, getting some imaging done and slowly walking out with a neck brace and some serious pain medication.
Edit: After watching it again I would say he even has a slight concussion afterwards, the way he moves ...
I’m most amazed that that first boat cost a million dollars. Hell I knew boats are ridiculously expensive but that’s insane.
mostly the engines
B O A T
Break Out Another Thousand 💰
The captain of the Pathfinder, single Yamaha 225 did an excellent job.
Man that key largo is a nice boat the black trim and the tan cheeks, what a boat
The problem indeed on the Freeman is the loose nut at the wheel. These salespeople one day will understand just getting the check and boat off the property is not enough. There are lawsuits and wins for way less negligence.
Money but no brains. Rookie captain.
The last boat had an steering issue. He turned the helm 2 times with the engine not moving.
I´m impressed people take notice of what the guy at the helm does in this clip, it gives me a hard time realizing there´s a boat involved 😂
That port outboard motor was missing the entire
Lower Unit.
When I turned 16 I got to take out our 16’ fishing boat by myself. I remember being so excited to cast off the front like it’s my own mobile dock. Well I was moving between spots and decided to let er rip until I noticed my trolling motor was still in the water. Luckily it was a 90s min Kota and all that broke was a $15 prop. Since then I won’t even cast off before I triple check every single thing on the boat is secured and ready to go.
Sad to see another boater obviously struggling with a disabled boat and no one would help. That’s crazy. I always stop and render assistance. I stopped and help a guy in a small boat and towed him back to the Marina about five miles. Come to find out he owned the marina. Super nice guy, would have never expected he owned the entire marina. The dock hands saw me towing him in and they were all over him when we got there. I went to the restroom and when I came back the crew was filling my boat up for free. Always be kind and helpful.
nice! same here. always stop and help. sea or road. where is that marina?
@@hashiru86 Clearwater beach near caldesi island and lovers key.
@@garywaldrop7529 thanks man! Cldesi Island is near Clearwater but lovers key is near Cape Coral !?
I’m not sure if lovers key was the other island there. I know it was Calidesi. I was told the other island was lovers key. Not real sure on that one. Sorry for the confusion. The marina if I remember right was a 76 fuels. It’s been close to 15-20 years since I was there. There was another cool area close by but I don’t know the name of it. We went trough a small canal where boats were lined up taking turns. Once through it was a wide open space, shallow water white sand bottom and a guy selling food from a old pontoon boat. I wish I could remember what it was called. Getting ready to bought a new boat so we will be going back to the area.
I ran a 1930s 30ft wooden boat out on the UKs South and East coast and often gave assistance to others, mostly those raggy sailors who hate motor sailors??
I did lose a pair of engines due to diesel bug but was in a flotilla of 50 boats crossing from Dunkirk France to Ramsgate UK. An Auxiliary Navy boat gave me a tow in for the cost of a bottle of Brandy.
They don’t call it “Reel Impact” for nothing. 😊
The irony is funny.
Blue top legends need to return!
That free man at the beginning had it whole lower unit gone!😂
Crikey, not only life jackets but crash helmets might be an idea as well (2:40)
Going off shore dual engines, was my requirement when I was a boat owner, granted the pass that we used was not as rough as this one, for all the single engines boats makes sure your stuff works at 110%, I've seen guys let their boat sit for 5 months then crank it up and go offshore,
Love all the water scoop duck pond boats
4th guy is gonna be feeling that for a few weeks lol
Looks like Reel Impact is cranking the wheel but not turning. Air in lines or leaky system.
we think he is missing a lower unit on that port motor
Boat hits the wall several times. Name of boat: "Reel Impact"
The antenna was up, couldn’t fit under bridge! Great captain.
The lower unit is removed from the port outboard engine. Modern outboard engines have the forward-reverse gear inside of the lower unit, and the propeller is attached to the lower unit. The boat probably handles just fine until in a low speed high current scenario, but the outriggers being too high for the bridge and whatever they're tending to in the center console PLUS the missing lower unit makes the situation dicy. I'm glad the captain figured it out.
The problem with the Freeman's port engine was a lack of a lower unit. Look closely, no lower unit on that motor. The outboard on the Key Largo is a Minn Kota. Reel Impact seemed aptly named.
Two👍👍 to the hand on that key largo ! Nice work!
The Skipper of the little Maco was smiling all the way when the boat was bouncing the heck out of the guy in the Bow with the Blue Shirt
Dude operating the Freeman may have had an engine up but he still lost control of the boat. Came in too slow and the current got him.
Ya an being a cat it's got a stronger tendency to track straight. The low speed coupled with stepping away from the helm got him sideways. I've never powered a cat, but sailed one and they don't like to turn as fast. Can't imagine leaving the helm in an inlet like this in a boat like that.
No he slowed down to buy time to lower outrigger. Throttle rudder wasn't set right with 3/4 engines.
I think the fact that the whole lower unit is missing from that left engine would be a good reason to have it trimmed fully up.
Ironically that boat was named reel impact😂
6:45 It seems this boat was well named. 👌😁
They nailed it...
@@WavyBoats 😁👌
They just wanted to see the sea wall
@@GhostDrummer checking for barnacles probably. 😬
The guy in the Freeman should have just backed off the throttles enough to hold the boat straight in the current while the crew cranked the outriggers down. Problem avoided. Bet they don't forget to do that again.
The stalled vessel should’ve dropped front anchor. Dropping both could be catastrophic if the vessel got turned sideways in that current.
Not in that water. Strong current, boaters entering and exiting at unsafe speeds and you have no control over the vessel.
@@58landman I think you misread my comment.
As I hovered over the "play bar".... the part that says "most replayed"... there's a reason... what a nice angle LOL
"Reel Impact" hitting the wall. Perfect name! Steering issue, guy turning the helm and engine stuck. Maybe hydraulic steering issue.
I live on one of the Great Lakes & most of these boats aren't big enough for them much less open water. WHY do people think they can navigate such a small boat in such chop? My boss had a 65', million-dollar yacht & it would bounce as much as those little boats on a windy day. I felt like I had compressed discs afterwards.
You a Michigander?? I am! And I agree about the great lakes.
You don't know what the f*** you're talking about
Reel impact was living up to their name.
4:12 should have been your thumbnail 😂
I wouldn't go into the ocean with a single engine.
Sure am glad I never bought a Freeman 42, those boats have a lot of trouble getting in and out of inlets...
Edit: Hats off to the Key Largo crew, what a "first mate". Money doesn't buy everything, he's a lucky man.
Love those little Boston whalers.
2:50 the guy looks like a friggin rag doll 😂😂
Most people do not fully grasp the concept of value.
Pay to service your boat or do it yourself. 9 out of 10 issues can be prevented if you maintain your vessel well.
Seems the Reel Impact motor would respond to steering port, but when he cranked the wheel to starboard it didn't move past neutral.
After watching your vids, when I get a boat it’s definitely going to have that 13ft Whaler hull design! Plus they are filled with foam I believe.
The Reel Impact had some steering issues going on. He was cranking that wheel, but the motor was not moving.
Reel Impact made a real impact.
That's Dad's money right there😂😂😂
I like the boat named reel impacting really impacting the wall.
Captain must keep all on board🎉🎉
nothing like helping out your fellow boaters!
The Freeman got crossed up in the out going current, missing the lower unit on the port out board side gave him a disadvantage. Leaving the helm so close to the bridge is really dumb and the best move would've been to go back out and bring the riggers down and run through the bridge under speed. Th Fountain was having major steering issues. It looked like he was extremely low on Hynautic fluid. Good to see everybody learning under difficult circumstances. It happens to the best of us. Boating can be a humbling experience.
Inept captain, never leave your post
Reel impact made some real impact.
Isn’t it interesting how more times than not, it’s the smaller boats offering help first? Even when they are probably not able to do a dang thing but bring people aboard at least they are offering. Just a interesting thing I’ve seen first hand out boating myself.
100% already got a ring on that finger, if not, our boy is a fool. That’s one cool thing about being married to a bad ass woman, they are your partner you start to work together without having to talk much at all. You just do and support each other however needed. The bickering some couples do just kills me, there’s always some back and forth, but when it’s nonstop, fix it quickly. Great job to those two!
The woman at the boat with the engine issues is very calm and proactive. Now thats a great wife (y)
Yep, that girl on the Key Largo is definitely a keeper.
I watched a drift fishing boat {The Two Georges} go down in that inlet back in the late 70's.
The name of the boat randomly hitting the was was "Reel Impact" after all! 😂😂😂
Captain error. Cats need to be hands on steering. At low speed cats love to grab the current. Engine out made it happen twice as fast.
That dude with the Key largo.. .His Lady wow! She studied for the assignment
Appears to me there are a lot of Captains that need to learn PMCS, Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services.
That Freeman was having a bad day, starting off with 4 gear boxes and coming home with only 3
7:54 I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned how great that last Boston Whaler looks in slow motion. 😘
I know right? Bunch of weirdos! 🤣
I guess the concept of a "no wake zone" hasn't been shared with our friends from FL yet? Holy moly! What a choppy ride!
I always wonder the same thing. I boat out of the Tarpon Springs area and everything is iddle speed. I don't get those 2 inlets. What are they waiting for? I do enjoyed those videos though.😗
6:50 - If ever there was a boat appropriately named when hitting the sea wall, this is it.
"Reel Impact" = Real Impact 😂
With the steering that loose more then likely a seal leak, I always carry a bottle of steering fluid just in case, will most likely need a seal
Replaced
What an appropriate name for the boat that kept hitting the wall lol
