the guy bailing with this hands cracks me up.....I can't stop laughing.
 
Not a bad boat there. It should have sunk! The power head stayed dry and running as the operator plowed the flooded bow under water over and over.

my thoughts:

Too many people aboard!

No life jackets being worn.

I did not see a bilge pump come on.

looks like they lost a seat or two out of the bow.

Lots of help around that Inlet.

If they just stopped plowing water into the boat and let the boat drain out they could have been on their way back in to safety.

This can be picked apart all day long.
 
If you look closely when the boat is hooked up being towed you can see the bilge pump working, problem is it took a lot of water for I am sure a little pump to move that much. I am betting by the time they made it to the ramp it was dry.
 
Yep. Looked like 8 adults there. Betting the placard says maximum 8 people so hey, why not? Problem was way too much weight up front and a captain that was in over his head, literally. I saw this earlier today and thought the same thing. If he hadn't have panicked and they moved further back he probably could have made it back in. But from what I saw didn't look like enough life jackets for everyone either. Hopefully he learned a lesson here and won't make that mistake again

Which is why if they had just stopped for a few minutes they could have been on their way.
 
I have seen that inlet eat up Berties to vikings.. yes this was stupid on the captains part but its a youtube money maker
 
sadly a few boats just went by like it was nothing,,
 
Okay a couple of things come to mind.
Yes Black lives do matter!
Look at all the Trump supporters standing by to lend a hand. Clearly we are not all racists!

Is anyone wondering if the owner/operator isn't a product of the Boating Bubble? Looks like a brand spanking new ride, I bet Trump's $600 a week bonus is paying the first several payments anyway, look for it on Craig's list when the checks stop rolling in, Wait... Too much:oops::rolleyes:

Great Video

That is such a great channel. Watch it all the time. Haulover is a mess with inexperienced boaters but nonetheless they persist. I love to see the boats I could have(should I win the lottery) and certainly learn from others mistakes.
