BOAT RAGE IN THE CANAL! The Point Pleasant Canal Madness Begins | Memorial Day Weekend
BOAT RAGE IN THE CANAL! Memorial Day Weekend in the Point Pleasant Canal - Jersey Rapids madness
If you are familiar with this area and boating, you probably know how nasty the canal can get on the weekends. Between the ripping tide and heavy boat traffic, there will be madness.
This boat probably needed a litttttle more speed!
I hope you enjoy the video! Please like, comment, and subscribe for more.

with all the outboard issues I have over the years, I cannot imagine maintaining 4 outboards on one boat lol
Little chance of all four having an issue
@@michaelmaas5544 you still would always be fixing one of them
@@fullnelson3028 they’re more dependable than you think
@@michaelmaas5544 apparently you need all 4 running in a no wake zone.
Ive seen more rage when i walked into our house with dirty shoes on
Truth 😂
The last boat in this video with the Dog on the bow was the best .
I don't even enjoy going on a boat but I could watch them all day! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching, Ron!
@Shore Boats you know this area. Is this a no wake zone like the Miami River. Cause I find this insanely dangerous allowing boat to create these manufactured wakes caused by speed. Common sense is if every boat did idle these dangers wouldn't be present. The moment 1 asshole hauls ass now every other person going through it has to do the same to avoid being sank
I ran that canal several times a week. The weekend small boats were a pain. I would use my horn to signal what side I was going to overtake on. 99% had no clue. I would come up on the loud speaker and tell them to get out of the way.
I thought no passing was allowed in that canal.
that's worldwide.most weekend boaters have no clue why there's a horn button on their boat.
@@MrChopsticktech Thanks for the comment. There are no wake signs, but NO no passing signs. No wake in the canal is a joke anyway. My boat required 3-5 kts on the rudders. If the tide was running 5kts that means I was going 10kts just to maintain some control. Those Bertrams have what they call high speed rudders (small). A Captain’s first obligation is to maintain control of his boat.
Well atleast nobody destroyed a bridge!😂
Doing a handstand in such dangerous choppy water could result to neck injury from one hard water hit I would think
My friend owns a condo right on the canal. I would love to be sitting in his yard with a drink watching the action right now!!
Free entertainment!
Good Morning Fellow Boating Enthusiasts, Friends, And Supporters Of The World Famous Shore Boating Channel: Thank you gentlemen for answering my request for some Point Pleasant Cannal Action. You video clearly captures the ever changing water and vessel traffic conditions in real time. Your video clearly denotes the attitudes of vessels how they can handle some of these rough water conditions minius the human load factor. Didn't see too much inforcement by the NJSP. I guess they met their monthly quota for written infractions as well as their harassment criteria. Guys another wonderful Action packed video that in my eyes didn't disappoint. God Bless + my best to you and your families. TMP from N.J. 🙏 😊😊😊. factor
Shore Boats regularly shows canal videos.
Thanks as always, Thomas!
Great video! Thank you for emphasizing what a great place this is not! It seems that every boater here needs to take a class in what "NO-WAKE" really means. It just goes to show once again that just because you can afford to buy it doesn't mean that you're smart enough to operate it!
Bathtub boating ...fun to watch .
Where was the rage?
Thats what I wondered too
Raging water :)
How is it that so many boaters decide to traverse this body of water, all at the same time ?
Can only imagine the maintenance required for the seawalls.
funny story about that if you go read the history of the canal the original ones they put in started to erode almost immediately
That H2O is still cold! LOL
Wow!!! A STEIGER CRAFT(?) at the end maybe? 😉
Those people all moved to Florida!
Will it float with the dopes?
Point pleasant canal is always a zoo...somebody’s gonna get chopped up in the prop
I remember when the NJ State Marine Police actually ENFORCED the “No Wake Zone” in the canal. Even better, that’s there headquarters that appears in some of these videos right next to the bridge. 100% of these outrageous waves are boat generated and not caused by tides or currents as proven by how calm the canal is when no boats are present.
It seems like this canal is always choppy or is it poor captain skills?
Holy shit. Is the circus in town or what
It’s impossible to go slow against the tide
The canal should be closed and sealed off. Building it was the biggest environmental mistake. It created a massive intrusion of salt water into north Barnegat bay that was originally all fresh water. This was the largest factor in the bay's deterioration.
Humans have put pleasure ahead of our planet and now it's too late to tip the scales back. It seems that what is left to their children matters not as well. No surprise, and eventually, it WILL effect the wealthy.
Enjoy yourselves and be careful so you dont end up in the drink!Educate yourselves about what type of boat and size to use in the Canal.
Point Pleasant, SC
It never ceases to amaze me how many stupid people there are in the world including boaters!!! All these boats & I did not see 1 person with a life vest on!!! I lived in jersey & know the point pleasant canal & it can get ferocious at times & you can fall in & drown in a matter of seconds!!!
I guess you could say... He had a Raging Boater.
as a non american,i always wondered why you all bag on NJ .i get it now.
The 5 ABSOLUTE rules for traversing the Point Canal from a Master Captain: 1) ONLY go thru the canal during slack tide. The window is an hour before or after dead high or low tide. 2) Trim your engines up if possible. 3) NO PASSENGERS forward of midship either in bow seating or foredeck. ESPECIALLY children. 4) DO NOT PASS vessel ahead of you 5) KEEP to the RIGHT side of the canal.
This “MASTER CAPTAIN” is questionable at best. The most important thing and one this captain didn’t say was put life jackets on the kids and the adults that you expect will go overboard to save any children that go overboard. If you are a captain you will be in the defense table in court and you will be asked why you didn’t do this and if you had, that child would still be here so captain don’t give us any “yes but” crap.
@@johnturner2175It says 'for traversing the canal'. I'm not a boater, but l thought the life-jacket rules were mandatory for all bodies of water.
So I can only surmise that this is the first time you watched this particular channel. I point this out because 99.9% of weekend boaters on this channel don’t even put on life jackets, in fact when a boat does get into trouble you can witness the people looking for them they were never even told about the location of the jackets. I know to a lot of people I seem to be a hard ass and I don’t mean that. I’m 73 and when I was 12 is the first time in my life that I came very close to losing my life. I wasn’t on a boat I was swimming after a boat see I beached my boat and went to my friends house, by the time I got back my boat had drifted away from the beach. I thought I won’t have a problem swimming out to it. The one thing I didn’t consider was the wind see I felt know matter how hard I swam I couldn’t reach it. I would get so tired I had to float on my back before I could start again, I looked around for help but there wasn’t any. By the time I got to the boat it was 1/2 3/4 of a mile from shore. When I did catch it all I could do was huge the outboard motor for what seemed like an hour. If you go on a boat with kids they are dependent on you so don’t wait to get into trouble anticipate it and enjoy the water but you better respect it.@@MrChopsticktech
Pretty good advice, but you forgot life jackets for all, and mandatory for kids.
supposed to be slow speed no wake as far as I knew. No need to pass other boats.
Must be some tide that rushes through there.......the idiots with more boat than they can handle probably doesn't help, haha.
I 'd be moving if I had to pass thru that canal all the time!!!...........
That’s why I payed 2 times as much to keep my boat at hoffmans in Brielle when they had a slip available so i didn’t have to deal with that nightmare
There’s no place like home.
Lol yup
I was all in until the drump flag,I'm out😂
🤡
Nothing pleasant about that canal..
The canal was much worse back in the 70's.
it makes for some great video!!
I like to boat but that place is a bit to wild for me..
I see your point!🤣
Unbelievable.
Probably a "NO WAKE" zone. So, of course, everyone travels at a MAX wake speed. It's the "As long as nobody gets hurt" mentality.
They say some people should not have children. I say some people should not have power boats. Former USCG.
I can see why you wouldn't be thrilled getting passed by a bigger boat in a no wake zone.
Should be posted as " no more wake zone " it's always choppy there
@@walterdavis4808 I think the closest thing to reality is that it's a minimum speed zone.
@@ATStone probably ,. As a kid going fishing with my grandfather it was expected to almost get swamped . In the canal. He had a little aquasport that barely got off an idle on a good day .
@@ATStone are you near point pleasant ? I keep a boat in toms river . Spent summers in bay head
@@walterdavis4808 No, in Milwaukee on Lake Michigan.
WHAT IS THE BOT AT 6:04
HCB maybe?
It must be a US thing to pick up life west when the situation already has started.
It's called the TITANIC syndrome.
Where's the boat rage ? We are just seeing boats going though a rough canal ,,,,,Where's the madness ? 😡
Well they shouldn't have such cheap little boats. You can't play with the big boys in a converted urinal.
Can’t do no wake in the canal. Boats need to keep their speed up. Especially the boats that need water over the rudders. Most of these people should just stay in the bay. Can’t even control their little boats zig zagging in front of large boats that can’t slow down. Too many inexperienced boaters thinking they are in the right
They don’t think at all. ❤
They don't enforce the no wake rule. The police and coast guard know you can't go that slow. You just can't go flying thru faster than everyone else. That they will ticket
Agreed. Thats some confused water.. and boaters…..
THE PROBLEM IS THERE A BUNCH OF DISRESPECTFUL DUMB ASS PEOPLE THAT DONT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE A BOAT. AND DEFINITELY DONT KNOW WHAT RESPECT IS.
You can absolutely maintain control or steering just by forward motion and without those ridiculous wakes as proven by what little power is required in docking a boat. Outboards and IOs have absolutely no excuse because their propeller thrust is steerable and I’ve even taken single screw inboards that actually have a rudder through with strong tidal currents with little wake as long as making way against the currant. Outgoing is even better because it’s a free ride that you can just run faster than the currant to maintain control and still not make a wake.
Naked handstands would be better.
I have to say, all of my life i was never an a$$hole.
It’s so nice to see all of those Trump signs and flags in NJ. Has NJ finally had enough of the demonrats?
People who fly political flags (either side) generally have zero personality. Their politics become their identity. Its weird and sad.
The Benny’s still ruin the state…..
@@rileypup5959 only in NJ are those people called Benny’s. I now live in Florida and started calling the visitors Benny’s but a couple of friends told me that phrase is only a NJ phrase. Do you remember? I think it was in Bayhead on route 35 people used to keep a sign out on the curb that said Benny’s go home? I loved that. 😂 😂
It's a two mile stretch of water, hardly an indicator of how many Trump fans in NJ.
@@MrChopsticktech that may be a two mile stretch however I know that he is supported by the residents of Howell, Freehold and south Jersey. The Dems are running scared.
Yet another reason to hate NJ
