COBIA GETS DESTROYED - DON'T DO THIS - BOAT FAIL | ROUGH INLETS | Boats at Jupiter Inlet
Where did the captain go wrong in this boat fail?
UPDATE - I did learn after posting this video that the front cooler on this vessel is removable and not glassed in like the current model. The boat handled it quite well considering the conditions, I was impressed it got back and kept from broaching over.
Craziest day of 2021 so far. Just when I was about to give up assuming no one would leave the inlet this Cobia sent it. Angry wave after angry wave crushes the boat as it crosses the outside bar at Jupiter. This boat came very close to flipping over as it turned right in front of a breaking wave. There is a lot to learn from this clip, let me know your thoughts down below.
All kinds of boats in Jupiter, FL Palm Beach County transiting one of the most dangerous inlets in Florida. These boats can get themselves in trouble easily if they don't use the correct speed and choose the right lines at Jupiter Inlet. Some weekends there are more awesome boats going in and out of Jupiter Inlet than a boat show. Enjoy the video and don't forget to hit that like button to support the channel.

Dahhhh which way do I go!
COVID face masks on a boat in rough conditions, with no life jackets on pretty much sums up a good portion of the population.
No F s! Wow! We have rule of law on the land and people need to remember that too and respect the sea...they are not above that either!

@@maraandmaijafair2587 what?
Yeah braindead and washed.
Almost 600,000 dead and y’all key on the masks as being the problem. And you think they’re the ones brainwashed? I’ve known several people who have died from this shit, Not just old people either. And none of them were democrats. So I have yet to figure out what politics has to do with it other that one side decided not to believe it was real or decided not to believe the scientists. And only made things worse. But then, these guys wearing masks is what you key in on here? Talk about obsessed and brainwashed.
Guy should thank Cobia for making that awesome boat. He did just about everything you could do to capsize that boat 😳
Testament to the safety and design of the Boat! 0 skill and boat still saved lives that day!
That guy was so clueless. Not only not going out on that rough day, but he has no skills in controlling a boat, and then to top it all off, he’s doing it at slow idle speed. Sitting here watching it, saying give it some gas and get out of there.

It's like this is your brain and this is your brain on drugs! LOLOL
More money then brains is such an understatement. This guy should not be sailing a paper boat in a pool.
BEING RETIRED FROM THE COAST GUARD I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN SOMEONE PILOT A BOAT THAT POORLY!!!
I just love this footage.... I use it in my maritime training classes to demonstrate to students of the pitfalls of bar crossings and inlet transits... keep them coming matey!
Have you watched "Black Friday at Manasquan Inlet ?"
is that a sand bar thats making the waves break right there? i was wondering about that. being in arizona, i dont see alot of oceans anymore :) lol
Money can fill that boat with amazing electronics but it can’t fill that space between the captains ears.
Good one
As a boat owner, im yelling at my screen for him to gun it out of there. Id rather be in my well worn-beat to hell center consule that brings my passengers home alive rather than a rich pompous fool in a brand new sport Fisher too stupid to captain in safely.
@@scottypimpin4257 i hear you!!
Ever-Ready Radar
That guy isn't a captain.
This guy nailed it, did absolutely everything you should never do.
That’s what I thought- broached every wave.
Can someone explain the negatives the captain did so newbies don't do the same.
He has engines but let the boat wallow thru every wave.
I don't think he ever turned the wheel once. I'm amazed that foamy break water didn't send them right to the bottom.
he never once used the engines to correct his situation, fuchsia pussy... probably a lawyer or accountant, or an accountant lawyer
The COBIA did NOT get “destroyed”, as your title states. This is a very strong, safe and trustworthy boat. The three occupants (no qualified captain) were very lucky (they did not wear life jackets). Jupiter inlet risks demand that all occupants have life jackets. Some boat operators think it isn’t “cool” to have a life jacket.
I didn’t take “destroyed” as in the boat was destroyed. I took “destroyed” to mean the trip was destroyed, the ego’s were destroyed, Jupiter destroyed that attempt! Which it did and then they limped home lol And I totally agree that there was no qualified captain. No qualified captain would risk everyone’s lives, especially for nothing.
Go watch reruns of Clueless
Hahaha, that's hilarious.
I agree this video sucked
If they had masks on that’s good enough 😂
Glad the bilge pump was working and it was working overtime! It seems like the only time you find your bilge pump isn't working is when you need it most. That's why I installed two on separate power lines and fuses!
And since you mentioned it.. manufacturer’s have a history (recently) of not supplying enough bilge pumps or battery power to power them where it would have made much difference.
I said it before and I'll say it again, " Just because you can afford a boat doesn't mean you should own a boat." This guy is right out of the book of what not to do in rough seas, Holy shit!
If you can afford the boat you can afford lessons from a captain!
More dollars than sense (cents)!
Hey, that radar thing is turning on the hardtop, so I guess that means he knows what he's doing, right
And just because you have a friend who owns a boat doesn't mean you should trust his judgement.
how to handle "rough seas" has nothing to do with it. The point is that you dont cross bars in certain conditions period...unless its a life saving trip. the fact he was going as slow as was probably saved the boat.
When it’s 10am on a Saturday and there are no other boats at the ramp, we call that a clue.
Yep, and all 3 with masks is another. :)
@@dreed7312 That says it all right there.
LMFAO DAMN TRUE. 100% FACTS
And also when you see a big boat moving a lot
When the ship a mile out is pitching THAT is a sign to call it a day.
This guy was definitely trying to sink his boat for insurance fraud. He definitely did everything he possibly could to sink this boat while still having plausible deniability. Cobias immaculate engineering saved this boat today. This could be an ad for Cobia "it wont sink even when you want it to"
After losing hubby and son 2 years ago, I've dreamt of an altered retirement desire to aquire a 40' boat and live on the west coast waters. Then I discovered your channel. Then another. And another. Hmmm. I've decided to look for a houseboat on Lake Mead as the market price falls with the drought. Low n slow.
It's all about training and humility. There's a woman who is a regular boater on one of these channels who goes out by herself in a relatively tiny boat in some really harsh conditions. I don't know her background (IE if she took classes, or grew up boating) but the point is her experience is what matters. Most of these problem videos are 1) tourists in a rental who have literally never captained a boat before, or 2) people who spend half a million dollars (or more) on a boat and think it's indestructible. If boating is something you're interested in, you can do it!
Blue Top Legend.@@PsRohrbaugh
The machine saved all the captain’s mistakes, that’s a great boat.
Wow it's exactly what I said before I went down to your comment and yes "Cobia" is a respectable Vessel" ;)))
It looked like a few times they were trying to roll the boat over.
I was just sitting here thinking, Cobia really ought to use this footage in their advertisements. Even an idiot who apparently cannot find the throttle can't sink it.
@@bradleyland Guess what, all engines were swamped by the sea, stalled, and they were lucky to get one restarted, although it took some time cranking the hell out of it. Probably engine damage beyond repair too
Great example of what NOT to do.
This guy had no idea what he was doing. He almost lost that boat so many times, and when he's finally coming back in, he still lets waves swamp him from the rear. Unbelievable.
probably learned nothing and repeats it every time he is in the water are you not supposed to have a license ?
@@huertalapaz8359 Three engines and has no clue how to use them.
@@huertalapaz8359 license aint gonna cure this kinda stupid
The seas were angry that day my friend...like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli.
When I was a kid, I used to fish Jupiter inlet with my dad. He would tell me how dangerous that water was when the tide was going in or out. One day I saw a football end up in the water when the tide was going out. In under a minute the ball was so far out to sea you couldn't see it. That made me believe my dad.
$300,000 worth of boat... And he doesn't have a freaking clue... been rescuing guys like this since 1958... Good stuff thanks for posting
Thank you for watching
Yah but he can’t really turn around with out tight the waves are and how big
Goes to show just cause you have a 30-40 foot boat your not invisible
You must be 70+ yrs old and still rescuing people? You should start your own KZhead channel even if it’s telling stories:)
@@JesseSav-ik5bc if the captain had 1 brain cell, he would’ve been able to turn around just fine.

It's a wet deck boat. Almost none of that water ends up in the bilge.
@@erikb8877 tell that to the bilge. lol
@@erikb8877 it's a wet boat alright and yeah you can see the water pumping out hard core
@@johnnyturbo8460 🤣🤣🤣. Yeah thing was turbo pumping for sure
Where did this guy go wrong? WHEN he *thought* he could captain a boat :( If anything I'm impressed with the design/build of his boat. I can think of more than a few that would've come apart with this kind of abuse.
Question: I'm trying to understand why boats cannot control broaching. I'm thinking that when this captain decides to head back in, and turns to port, that he should do a hard turn and gun the motors briefly to return to a perpendicular orientation to the waves. Is it because propellers lose thrust when overwhelmed by white water? I know that in high-diving they introduce air into the water where the diver enters to reduce impact. Maybe these captains ARE gunning their motors but the props are just spinning in 50% air. What do you think. I have successfully fought broaching in a Catalina 22 sailboat on the coast of Maine when heading back into port, but the waves were nothing like this.
Isn’t “destroyed” a bit of an exaggeration?
Total clickbait
Technically, I agree with you. Practically, these guys were close to not coming home... too close.
"Destroyed" slang.
They definitely got destroyed.
Probably will need new underwear 🩲.j
Try and use some of that nine hundred horsepower .
He used about 9hp
@@RoughInlets A couple points...First is I don't get why this dude was even going out...seas suck, and they weren't fishing, so not sure what the motivation was. Second, that boat is 300k or more...and he doesn't know what he is doing, so I am thinking it's a rental. Probably forked out the 2500 bucks to rent it for the day so was committed to going out.
The boat performed well, that’s all I can say
@@ryeckley7267 Nice boat for sure...a gas hog, but nice nonetheless!
@@ryeckley7267 that was my take away.. captain is a moron, boat no problems...
Where in the boaters hand book does it say go perfectly out to where the waves are breaking then stop and wait for a bath ?
I"ve only been watching boats in inlets videos for about 6 months, but wow! this one is insane. as soon as I would have seen how rough things were, I wouldn't have even gotten in my boat!
Seeing the tanker in the distance rolling with the waves makes you wonder what possessed this boat owner to tempt fate like that.
Looks like a dredger to me
@@adamrsamian3964 could be, Tommy Norton is a nicd boat
That dude needs to sell the boat immediately. He’s a risk to himself and the crew. Clueless how to operate that monster. He had all the best equipment and tons of power and got pounded for no reason.
All the gear, but no idea
A lot of money in a very nice boat. Only need a competent captain!
The sea was very friendly that day.
@@snewogj throttle up into the waves, 90 degrees to the wave when returning or youre over, try it in a kayak, your getting wet. Think of a surfer with no power, he goes accross the wave and in front of it. do that in a boat or kayak and you surf until the sea gets bored of you then it flips you round and over like this idiot nearly did. Give it the beans and you get through.
He was sitting at idle most of the time...
question? does radar help coming out of the inlet?
How did you compress the video ?
You and me have two totally different definitions of destroyed
I think they meant "destroyed" in the sense of "We got destroyed last night" when discussing a wild night and equally shitty hangover. The boats don't really shatter anymore when they hit the waves. Though watching hydroplanes explode when hitting waves can be interesting. Offshore racers still do it as well. Almost get blown apart.
IDK, it was close - they nearly lost the boat and possibly a whole lot more. Water breaking over the bow, not much time between the rollers - did you see the water coming out on the way back??? Those bilge pumps were working WAY OVER TIME. If he engines were flooded or lost power, that boat would not be toast - it would be at the bottom of inlet!
@@drx1xym154 so ifs are classed as destroyed in the boating world haha, you marys make foolballers look butch haha

I was screaming turn around, turn around
Me and I retired a near coastal Masters license I held from 1983 until 2018. Back in about 1995 as I was making a turn right up for the entrance I caught a wave that literally turned a 61 ft steel hull crew boat into a surfboard that was moving faster than I I could at full throttle wave pressure locked my rudders. Missed the entrance bouy I mean by inches. Surfed that near 30 ft wave a mile into the entrance of Apra Harbor Guam over mile couldn't turn to starboard and managed to put the pressure on my hydraulic steering give me a little bit of rudder to Port and that's how I broke out of the wave into clean water inside the breakwater. Took every bit of skill and knowledge that I learned as a Coast Guard Boatswains Mate that day. That was the pilot boat, for the tug company. Had come back from about month-long vacation and for some reason the port engineer had dropped the engine from 2,225 RPM down to 1800 the vessels would not get up on plane, could only do 11 knots compared to the 16 knots it would do at the higher setting, which would have given a 1300 shaft horsepower out of those two 12v 71 twin turbocharged intercooled Detroit diesels in the engine room.
and trim up.
Have watched this several times and still in awe.....
I like catamaran hulls. 40 ft minimum. They do great in rough seas. I'm trying to figure out just how high those waves were. I would go with about 10 ft. Waves - maybe a little less but not much less?
Impressive dummy resistant engineering. Hope they sent Cobia a thank you for saving their lives.
With all of that power, this guy could have avoided most of that! THROTTLE up
IDK, he was putting the bow under the rollers. His timing was horrible at best. Lucky he did not have to swim back with this buddies ... though if he swimming is as bad as his piloting, the coast guard may have needed to recover the boat and the bodies.
When in doubt, tach it out...
At best he may have been steering, definitely had no capability of piloting that boat. If he would have used the power, it probably would have just been over sooner LOL. Good to see that they made it though and probably learned a good lesson, mabey
nope that's not how you cross a bar like that. He would have certainly turned the boat over. If you were in the cockpit in those conditions the waves would look 4 times what they are on camera and short intervals with no time to escape. The point is that he should have never left the harbor period.
Or with any brains at all, he would have avoided it.
Great Covia advertisement !! The guy on the stern waving his hand at the end is just having a post/shock reflection 😂

Take it from a ex- coast guardsman here, there’s a reason for a small craft advisory .. spent countless hours out there searching for boaters in distress..
I'm sure the crew on shift in the wheelhouse of that buoy tender in the background enjoyed the show!
Having my own boat the last few years has given me an immense amount of respect for the CG. They’re out there in all weather saving lives.
It's not just about he size of the boat...it's about experience, type of craft and local knowledge too 😉
@@alexcawthorne811 And the smarts to not go out there in such HUGE WAVES !!!
I must say - the brain power of the skipper is at the direct opposite end of the scale to the quality of that hull. What an awesome boat.
Well said!!!
Outboards are too top heavy.
28 years part time Jupiter inlet, 1985 stand up 550 jets ski and searay 22'. Not an inlet to mess with, reef left going out forms waves right into inlet. Jet ski was easy small ride tops, I was a kid 15-18 doing it. Now live and snow ski Colorado mountains. Some things never die, still alive!

Boating safety courses, consist of knowing the regulations concerning boating. They do not teach common sense.
You don't need a captain's license in Ga. I am a relatively new boater, just bought a grady white 22' last year. Needs a little work but I have enough sense to know not to do what this idiot did.
Enjoying every single moment thanks for sharing 😄☺️
Thanks for the great videos that you've posted on this channel. Knowing how dangerous this part of the water, it seems that nobody wheres a Life jacket..
Wheres??????????.....WEARS...SMH
I'm a landlubber and even I know 1) never approach a wave broadside, 2) if you're gonna go, go! and 3) you follow a wave in riding its backside, you don't try to surf down the front.
Best advice I have heard today, Captain! Damn sure better than this dude.
Wait so, don't surf with the boat? Not a new sport?

It looks like the captain was doing quit okay in the beginning, taking it slow. That was really tough waves further out. I don't have experience with these huge boats, ours is just 6 meter with 90 hp outboard. But I've been in rough waves. It takes time to learn how the boat behaves, and when it can be trusted. Learning this is done in less dangerous sea. There is also a sense of self preservation needed, understanding when it is time to turn. Keeping a margin within safety.
I am very glad that no one got hurt! As I'm not that heartless. HOWEVER, I did click the video and watched till the end expecting to see this boat get Fd up!
I live on the north shore of Oahu, where life guards go in and out of swells way bigger than this. There is a time to punch the throttle, and a time to let off. This guy could have easily made it out through those waves if he had punched it up to each wave and then as he hit it, back off enough to not launch in the air, only enough to get up through each wave. If you abort mission, and turn around in the surf, then you have to punch the throttle to get out from under the next wave that is going to roll the boat. If you keep going slow as the next wave hits you while you are going slow on a 45 degree angle, the wave is going to hit you, roll the boat and cause what is called a broch. Right before the broch happens you have to hit the throttle and head towards shore before the wave has a chance to roll you into a broch. The strakes on the hull upon punching the throttle take over and stabilize the boat in a turn. These techniques enable you to out race the given wave back towards shore. Of all places, the captain's of these boats should study these techniques and practice them.
He was very close to the point of the follow-up swell rolling this very expensive nice boat...so ridiculous!
Was about to post "explain it like I'm a Midwestern non-boater" then saw this. Great explanation!
He had more than a minute with no breaking waves where he could have easily cleared the bar but he kept on chugging his way out. Such a shame, wish I could afford a beautiful boat like that!
It was literally as if it was the guys first day ever at the helm of a boat. Sooo many mistakes in just one short trip. How does that happen in such an expensive boat? I wonder if he realizes how lucky he was.
I’m sure he was shitting bricks
More money than brains!
The boat saved his ass. Plenty of other boats would be on the bottom.
That fool got very lucky
i work in an industry where alot of these boat guys are also my clientele. The motorsport im involved in takes alot of skill and coordination. Let me say it is exceptionally rare that someone has BOTH the talent and skill to amass enough Wealth to afford these vehicles AND have the Skill and Talent it takes to operate them. They are 2 very different and completely unrelated skill sets. The chance you have both is nearly zero. The chance you have one and THINK you have the other is nearly 100%. Its some wild shit to witness.
What is the "front box"?
How much of this was operator error vs just taking the boat out in conditions beyond its capability?
Rough Inlets : "Where did the captain go wrong in this boat fail?"..... Uhhhhhh....leaving the dock?
Lol
Beer too strong.
Why wait for slack tide
I was clinching my jaw and squirming around thinking they were gonna flip at least 3 times! Great footage, thank you!!
What does "destroyed front box" mean?
Does Florida not require any training/certification before operating a boat on the ocean? Apparently not.
After more than 30 years at sea from Oregon To Alaska I always tell everyone when you cross a bar, "fight to get in don't fight to get out".
I came away impressed with that boat!
Well let's see should we go parallel to the waves or perpendicular???
Awesome boat that handled the conditions very well. Even on the way back the captain get caught sideways again! Need to learn quick out there!
Clueless boat owner. I'd say Captain but this person placed his "crew" himself and vessel in harms way. As you state glad he made it back to port.
So many oportunities to turn around too!
Just because you can afford a nice piece of kit like this doesn’t make you a captain. Years of experience and a few seamanship skills make a captain. It’s an earnt role. POWER is the only way to deal with a seaway like this. No power, no steering! Not rocket science. Talk to the locals before going out in a serious situation like this! No locals? There’s a reason for that..... it’s too frikken dangerous!!
I'm just here to read the comments from all the certified professional top-of-the-line operators telling us all how it should have been done. When it should have been as easy as, "hey there's no other boats in the inlet today" 🤔
Hope he has good insurance lol
He could have made it out pretty easy, but he was loitering in the impact zone and then turned toward a narly set. Definitely wasn't his boat - looked like some juvie taking his dad's boat
What size were those waves? Crazy how much the huge ship was moving around.
They were thinking it's the only time their wives would let them go out on the boat and tried to make it count. 😂
"Think I'll go test out my bilge today"
yes! Those pumps were working OT! quality boat too... lesser boats may not have faired as well. License revoked!
When in doubt THROTTLE out!
And with sails, if in doubt let em out.
Ever notice most of these boats dont have much fishing gear? Are they stored or are they just going out to burn fuel?
Cap'n Crunch piloting that one. Great job 👏
Was he worried about getting broadsided, waited until he had 3 or 4 Perfect Storm type waves, and then tried to turn around in the worst possible place and generally got insanely lucky this entire outing?
"Perfect Storm"? Oh not quite. I fished the North Atlantic for over 30 years.
He did try to turn right on top of the bar. Just keep on trucking and turn in calm water. But that’s what people who suffer from Mass Formation Psychosis do when they’re scared all the time.
@@ro6742 the Captain did hit portside pretty hard which was good but scary because you're right keep trucking that thing until calmer waters yikes!
@@ro6742 what the hell is mass formation psychosis.
It's a proven psychological phenomenon where realtively weak-minded, insecure 'sheeple' "follow the crowd" (which may be an astroturfed 'bot' army on social media) rather than follow their own moral compass, intuition or just plain common sense. Elon tried to rid twatter of the zillions of fake bot accounts but was 'fragged' by the anti-democratic forces embedded in the twatter/X platform and every other social media platform. Tic-Toc is a perfect example of a weaponized social media platform whose objective is to create and steer 'public opinion'.
When I passed the boat license the instructor told us a sentence that I remember every time I want to take the sea : The sea doesn’t like the audacious. Don’t joke with strenght that can destroy a city with one wave
Water always wins.
my grandfather said " always respect the river for she has no respect for you" . really applies to all nature.
I truly enjoy watching!! I just wanted to know why do they turn back after failed attempts? Does the engine somewhat fault? Or the boat just took in too much water in order to continue???
I have been surfing my entire life and it’s not always easy to read the sets. I honestly thought it looked dangerous but ok to go. Outside set waves can be sneaky.
Defiantly doesn't know what he's doing. And to let the boat get broadsided!!!
He should hire a captain!
He got broadside because he let the wave overtake his stern.
Defiantly.
@@RoughInlets He should have taken a smaller boat, and just stayed inside. Tooling around the loxahatchee, hit the sand bar or something. Why go outside except to dive or fish? Especially when it's rough! Most guys I know won't even try going outside until April.
Thank Goodness he remembered to turn his radar on or that could have gotten serious..
And glad they all had their masks on… .
😆 🤣 😂
I also like to add that the radar is totally out of proportion for this McBoat.
LOL
The masks or diapers stopped them from spraying puke all over the boat hope they had another diaper on as well.
Cobia boats extremely capable ! Saved these three ! Although it’s difficult to control on it’s side ! If you find yourself going into the ocean and you’re the only one ! You should question yourself ! They did a great job of threading the needle , but what is the motivation for fighting the small craft warning that was obviously in place when they left the protection of the Jupiter Inlet ?
Passenger(s) wait till boat is safely docked, then punch the "skipper" in the mouth for nearly drowning them.
Funny!!! LMAO
Yeah, I would not be happy.
Lol
Good thing the captain had the radar on. I’m sure that was useful at the time. 🤪
That was a demonstration of the lengths you have to go to sink a well built boat. I thought it was gone when the breaker hit it broadside.
Man this video literally made clench my cheeks, brought on a sudden onset of palpitations and chest pain. Just seemed like we was trying to rides the waves at first and not power through with those trip engines 🤷🏽♂️ boat sure proved that it does a lot of the work itself though!
Seriously David and I mean this sincerely. If watching the video gave you palpitations and chest pain, make an appointment to see your Doctor asap. I know you said that literally ..... but ?? Happy New Year from South Australia

Outstanding TROOP
I’ve gone out the Jupiter inlet like this in a 13’ 1965 Boston whaler. 25 gallon custom tank under the front seat and a 25hp motor kept it well balanced. Scary as hell, but my dad was nuts back then. We turned right at the end of the rocks to the right, came back in from the north east. I sure won’t forget that experience 😂
i believe it. i used to go out in boynton inlet steady plow with good throttle control in a 22 foot center console in 8 foot waves easy with a 150 4 stroke yamaha...the inlet fail videos are mind blowing but i swear i learn something from every googan

Impressive for sure
I reckon were it not for the fact his bilge was full he would have flopped.
Love watching this
These are always fun vids to watch. That being said, I would never dock my boat in this area.
You have to respect his effort to conserve gas. 😆
...and life jackets! 🙄
That’s funny as shit.
You know when someone's a master at something and makes it look easy? This isn't one of those times.
it's nail biting and i need a beer.
I don’t know what he’s doing. But this boat can handle those waves with ease But when he got sideways you didn’t see the motors turned all the way to throttle out. Makes me think he was so close to the inlet he was thinking about insurance job new boat maybe. Thanks for the video keep them coming🇺🇸👌
Jupiter inlet is schoolin that boy😂😂😂
The owners buddies probably said WTF, i thought you told me you knew what you were doing!
Yeah . ‘Like..bro can you give it some?’
Why is he not using the engines heading out? Or coming back in (until the very end)? I do not even think I saw the engines being turned. Qualified Captain!
Went straight into it!
Of course he used the engines or the there would be zero directional control. The boat is amazing, and could have enough buoyancy to be unsinkable, but it is not immune from being flipped, so, at the minimum, they were setting an example that could lead others to go out and die trying to do what they did.
A little physics lesson. Boats float because they weigh less than the water that it displaces. When water is white with all those air bubbles, it is less dense. If you get too many bubbles under a boat it will sink. Is it likely to happen from a single wave, probably not. If get enough water over the bow, too many bubbles under you and you are turned sideways, you are not going to have a good day.
good advisement for the boat builder
Very seaworthy boat, right there. Dude made just about every mistake he could and it didn't capsize. Gotta love a Cobia. 👍
'Oh no, a bit of slop coming... maybe more power or trim? Naaaa just turn on the radar.' That was hard to watch.
This is what happens when u have a badass boat but dont know how to use it...
Yeah, took the worst line too!
Have you ever interviewed any of these folks afterward? Love to hear their thoughts.
Took a Coast Guard class , on the second day I told the Instructor I really learned alot from the first day. Asked what I have learned...I learned that I did not want a boat...so your quitting the class...no I replied I finishing the course....I need my Certificate to remind me NOT to Buy a Boat..😂
