Ultimate Powerboat Madness from Haulover in Miami to Key West
I chased the Florida Powerboat Club from Miami to Key West during their annual Key West Poker Run. I started in Miami at Haulover Inlet and raced them all the way to Key West, catching them at different spots where they stop for lunch and refueling. Unfortunately, there are no good vantage points to catch them running after they hit Key Largo and all the way down to Key West. In many places on the Overseas Highway though you can see them on the horizon, the dozens and dozens of rooster tails from the boats running at very high speed, very cool.

After watching this, I really know how little money I have....but I do have a small boat that gets me out on the water and awesome children, something money cannot buy :-). Awesome video work!!
Thanks!
I feel the same I bought my boat for what it takes to fill the tank on some of these boats
However, you do have a boat and a family to enjoy it with. That makes you very rich in life. Do you feel better now? : )
Some people spend their money in different ways.
Robert G. Bro. these people use their boats like two times per year. Stay on your boat and keep her seaworthy. Much better value my friend. Fair winds and following seas (written by a sailboater).
Billions of dollars in boats..man the silver boat with the turbine was awesome 👍
I know 6 outboards looks cool but nothing beats the rumbling of the through hull exhaust V-8, I think Sound is just as important as look & performance on one of those boats
Rich man's sports. Lol🤣. It's all good 👍. Thanks for letting us get a small sample of this lifestyle. And super thanks for the audio 👌. OMG if only my little econo box could sound like that.
Wow what great show of all these different powerboats👍😎
love the sound of those thumpin big blocks :)
The power of these boats can be felt on my JBL Flip 5 speaker connected to my smart phone...lol
I must be getting old; these powerboats don't do it for me like they did when I was 25. Now those center console fishing/speed boats...they are sweet.
You're not alone. I'm 28 and share a 18ft centre console with my brother in the UK. CC's are just a lovely, dynamic type of boat. They do it all. Going fast in a straight line on the 8 calm days of the year on a boat with no space is just pointless.
4:30 - Ooooo, pretty paint job!
and 1600 horsies on the back
That boat caught my eye too. That's the most strikingly beautiful color I've ever seen on a boat.
Yeah, iridescent cobalt blues are striking.
With travel to get there, accommodations, fuel for the tow rig and the boat and food, that’s a $15,000 weekend minimum. What a great time they must have. Good on them.
That’s not even factoring in all the alcohol that was consumed🤣
And still not a dent in the bank account lmao
@@classiccam4647 Lets not forget the Viagra and the STD meds later on. This is why I'll never hit the lottery. I know for sure that I'd be dead of VD within a year. But what a year it would be.
@@MrCarnutbill67 what’s vd? Never say never, ya might just get lucky🤷🏻♂️
That turbine boat was phenomenal.
Amazing to watch !! Couldn't imagine what it is like to be part of that club . So many amazing looking boats , looks like everyone had a great time , except the poor boat who said "Yeah , we'll have enough gas to get to the Keys ....." Also a delight to see , as the lakes up here in Northern Ontario ,are starting to freeze over !!
time for snow skiing and then sitting by a warm fire!
When I was around 21 (1986) I visited Boca Raton and met a real estate developer who was probably around 60 or so; he wore a track suit, gold chains, drove a slant-nose Porsche and had a girlfrield who appeared to be about 20. He had a diamond encrusted Rolex, beach house, etc, etc. This was a booming, booming time in South Florida. I 'm sure he is long gone now. But good lord, the impression this left on me then, a kid from Massachusetts. It was (and is) a different world there. Extremes of money and materialism and excess that are alive and well. It's like no other place on earth. It's a land of pure fantasy, with all the good and the bad together.
What a king.
Well Did you pick up on his Girlfriend ???
Awesome video. Great to see how the other half live. At the moment I’m busy saving for a canoe.
Lol I almost have enough for an inflatable kayak!
Water wings and a wading pool for this bad boy.
Great video ! The best part, the sound of raw horsepower.. Your #1.....🤩
I liked and subscribed without hesitation. This video is absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work and my goodness, the $$$ of these marvels! So much for a "no wake zone." Cheers!
OK give it up to zipzap for this one everyone! Holy shit did you go above and beyond for this one… Phenomenal production quality I have to share it with everybody I know! Fueled by testosterone. Now I get why my 20 foot Regal coming out of Fort Myers Beach isn’t as exciting 🤪
Thanks! I'm sure she's plenty fun on a weekend!
Pat I have to agree with you 100%. I spend most of my time dealing with all the planning and BS running these events, but when @zipzappower shows up...Ked and his team really get the best angles and quality content. Nice having them along to get the "behind the scenes" and best angles from various vantage points!!
They sound like the 1/4 mile race track back in the late 60s early 70s. Georgous boats
I wasn't there but I've been there now. Nice comment
@22:29, that’s $360,000 of outboards on ONE boat. Insane!!
TheTorkerman-Adam you’re actually wrong bud. 6 2019 450s are 90 grand each it’s about 500k maybe more after installation
450rs you can get for 48 thousand!! A piece!
What difference does it make? We’ll all never be able to afford that! No less 6 of them!!
@@tomseadon9965 its obviously possible to own them all, stop selling yourself short
@@Mr.Thermistor7228 I’m sorry Jeff, but I just don’t have those kinda bucks! And to be totally honest, my credit score SUCKS! Back in 96, I got ahold of a 1962 Stamas ru-a-bout. About 16’, she was a total pig! So I grabbed my circular saw, made a new shear, dug out the grinders, hulls a shell now ya follow, went to work, added a stringer system, if ya wanna call it that. Long story short, marine plywood 3/8” carpeted floor, and underneath the for deck, 42” bow towards stern, 7” gunnels for decking, used 1 inch divinicil under glass, 2 layers ounce and a half, and 1708 biax.rebuilt entire Transom, primer coat, Awlgrip, Paint, Hunter Green Imron!! Stainless Steel angle tops off transom, running lights, 12 volt battery, trickle charge unit hook up, 4 Perko pole holders, 2 10’ outriggers,I know, I know, but at this point of the game, I said SCREW IT! Let’s have fun now! Added depth fish finder,speedometer, 5 auxiliary fuse box, rigged in Tupperware container. Worked out pretty nicely too I’ll add! Built 2 storage cabinets, and BTW, ALL THE HARDWARE IS STAINLESS STEEL! Hinges,screws, outrigger clips too.except bow light, that’s plastic. (Bummer) 1,000,000 candle watt spot light, to spot the alligators in Port Saint Lucie, Florida which is where I lived at the time. Stuck a 1984 Evinrude 25 Tiller motor on the back, 31-32 MPH! Fast enough for me, boat is now 13 foot, 6” ! I situated a couple boat cushions, made a really nice seat, cut through the water like a knife! Not so sure how I managed to accomplish this, but I was really pleased with the end result. Stern light was interchangeable too, I had a short stub and a 3 footer, for the foggy nights, and just didn’t want to be seen, due to what I was catching! Kept nothing illegal, but just don’t need to be hassled on the water. Boats only flaw, I guess you might say, was hardly any Freeboard! Maybe 3-4 inches near stern. Also, 1.5” rubber RUBRAIL with TEAL insert rubber tube, and she looked beautiful! And a 400 watt power inverter for A/M F/M radio too, and for plugging in additional accessories. Bottom line is that by the time I finished her up, SHE WAS JUST ALL MINE WITH NO PAYMENTS, LIENS, BANK INVOLVEMENT, JUST FREE AND CLEAR ALL MINE! Well, I guess that’s the short story version if you wanna call it that! She gave me almost 10 great years of fun, fishing, and just cruising from Stuart inlet to Jupiter inlet on those calm summer nights!. I was 35 years at the time of starting this project, took all of 8 months, plus working full time in the Aircraft plant I was at. I look back now, and those were definitely some of my best times I’ve ever had, both using it, but building it, adding this, that, makin er my own, I had a FUCKEN BLAST! My wife was a great help too! Especially with the kids, and keeping them away from the nasty things! Paint, resin, epoxy, reducers, awl-fill, and you name it, I probably had it! I worked at the Ralph Evinrude Test center for a year, and Ribovich Marine about 2 years,before going back to Northrop Grumman, when I started the boat! I hope that you enjoyed the story as much as I did living it! God bless all us boaters, and everyone else, boat or not.🙏🐊
Love the lamborghini and turbine powered boats 👌
The real one with the money 20:07
MrGreatness funny shit man, that is hilarious gotta send to my fuel guy Mark Klein from VP Racing Fuels!!
🤣🤣 Yep!
3:40 as well
@@Tommyjet18 naw he just got the bills the guy who owns the fueling company is the true major player.
I think they all have money. Lol.
15:35 everyone’s a gangster until this guy shows up
I want to ask the owner what its like going mach 6 on the water.
@@Whargoul100 no, you wanna ask....whats it like paying for it? ;)
Reminds me of the hydrofoil races here in Seattle WA, the sound of them spooling up their jet engines (WWWHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE). ;-)
Looks like a lux miss Gieco.
@@yerher6759 Its on sales for $400k. actually less expensive than I thought
Amazing video Zip, Thank you!!!
In 1958 my grandfather bought a Chris Craft 21 cabin cruiser with twin 40 Evinrudes. We were liv’n big!
Beautiful boats, beautiful weather, beautiful women, beautiful sounds! Just beautiful 😥... haha. Nice work ZipZap.👍🤙
Thanks!
Well said!
O love your coment all is beautiful
00:29 two guys having a successful day In life lpl
Best work to date. I was glued!! Love it!! Stay wet my friends!😎🚤
Thanks!
the jet cat at 15:40 is wayyyy quieter that the big mercs. lol. Fine job ZipZap
Turbine cats are really something out of this world!
Just wow ! I'm from the uk and seeing this is amazing! .what lovely fast powerful boats 😃😀
Great job Zapper, as usual!!!
Thanks Dan!
I worked on Chrysler turbine development and really like that power for a boat. Sure love the sound of performance reciprocating internal combustion spark ignited engine's, too.
21:48 I wish my bass boat sounded like that when I crank it up!
Like you'd ever catch another bass again!
My 87 merc with no exhaust does
The bass wish different
15:35 I don't care what anybody says...THAT is badass amongst the bad. Turbine??
Yes it’s turbine powered. And if you think it’s loud outside the boat, you don’t want to know how loud it is inside the cockpit
@@swaggerjacker1482 Then its a perfect boat for married couple I say.
@@swaggerjacker1482 It looked like it was slower then the normal boats. And it probubly runs out of gasoline fast.
What’s that boat model or brand name? Thing looks like a spaceship.
Koji Takata that’s a 50’ Mystic.
This is really relaxing to watch
The grey boat with jet engines was wild ..... love the soundtrack. Not someone talking over all the engines. Thx for a great video!!
Absolutely badass! Great footage. Thank you.
Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it!
Stu Jones would approve! Awesome video
amazing content keep it coming!
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
15:50 Bond, James Bond..
My name is Boat, James Boat. HAHAHAHA
16:21, millions of dollars right there
Crazy how the power boats slice right through the water!
I loved that Speed Racer boat... SWEET.
Man.....this is just soooooooo friggin' cool..!!
Watching your videos make me feel like a peasant.. lol I own a 29ft Fountain with twin 225s .
Isn't that crazy, when a $250,000 boat doesn't even rate?
Funny to see the couple of out-board floating bathtubs (center consoles) go by lol!!
WOW!!! This was the best video!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your best video to date. Good job...
Thanks!
You know what costs more then most of these boats, those things in the little bitty bikini's. Those things will usually bleed you dry if they can!
Patriarchal society: Men are providers and women raise the family and keep the home Also patriarchal society: “WOMEN TAKE MUH MONEY”
Awesome video as always! Greetz from Holland..😁
Nice job at video taping the boats. Lots of horsepower, color, custom paint and money tied up in those boats. 6:51 gets First Place for a mixture of color and custom paint.
6 450's amazing!
0:23 the first thing I expected to see on one of those boats
That project 1080 Cigarette, the white Donzi and Totanka were some nice looking machines
This guy has the best job ever, do youtube videos, make money, and watch nice boats.. wow
21:16 Stunning Boat.
Was that Crockett and Tubbs at 5:32?? 😂 I kept waiting for the Miami Vice music. 😂
idk but that was a beautiful fountain
I watched the whole video. It’s a dream to own one of these!
Beautiful works of art
5:03 that boat sounds nasty, the two guys are wearing ear protection, that's a sign...lol
42’ fountain poker run edition. Look it up.
"He's out of fuel." Well at least he wasn't flying a plane. LOL Cool video as usual.
Guess he forgot to collect gas money from his passengers lmao
Hahahaha! Great comment
That silver boat at 16mins is crazy. Sounded likr it had a turbine motor. Really cool video✌
yes, a jet engine
OMG!! Loving this and want more!! :D Ty,Zip!! Btw, I agree with Pat in the comments,,,,PERIOD!
So no ones gonna talk about speed racer?! That boat was dope asf
I remember the old days when it was a big deal to have twin engines in your speed boat. Now you ain’t shit unless you have quads or more! It’s crazy!
That boat Spooled up is awesome. 8:58
Your most satisfying video upload yet ZZP!
thanks! it was the most satisfying to make.
The silver boat at 2:51 is beautiful.
I'm trying to figure out what boat that was at 2:51
These people have way to much money (bitter, party of one?) HA. Great video
I have a powerboat
I have an inner tube.
Very Impressive line of boats!!
Indeed
I actually had to turn down the volume for this one. 😂😂 These boats are on another level
I'm dropping phone so many times my volume doesn't really work that well I'll have to buy another Samsung
3:40 How's the flex seal holding ⁉️
THE INSIDE IS COMPLETELY DRY!
15:34 UFO's only come in one color...
ben yessin hahahaha how the fuck puts turbines in a pleasure cat and it’s a closed canopy! They better be in air conditioning in there ?
ben yessin merica
Who*
Statement marine???
hippo4g93 and ear plugs or ear muffs
That sound🤤 I thought my Baja 222 with a blown 454 and straight piped sounded good. Now I feel different.
Unaaa locuraa !!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲boats #1 Que aburrida es la náutica en España! Por diosss!!!!
Imagine going tubing on the back 🙄😂
10:06 goodbye hat
That beautiful grey turbine looked a little squirrelly in the handling department.
At 16 min that silver boat the engine in that thing sounds sick!!!!
H2O and Water💦 How can it any better than that😂👍 GG.....Zippy👍
I love the sound but my god poor sea life. The distance all that sound travels are crazy.
An obscene amount of money - love it!
Love that, "Sorry guys, we're out of gas". No thank you, I'll keep my Bertram!
What’s truly amazing tome is how many people have that kind of discretionary money to afford not only the boats that is just the starter kit like all our toys are there are upgrades to engines turbos nitros livery’s then the up keep slips at marinas or storage then has and regular maintenance I did a cursory investigation into buying a second hand boat even going that way it’s not cheap but you gotta pay to play lol god I love America what a great country we live in that this many people can indulge their passions no other country in the world amen brother
People always talk about the top 1% having so much money. That's still a few million people in the US.
No other country in the world has people that can buy speed boats. Amazing.
7:39 wow insane
Do you know what kind of boat this is??
Praise Jesus! What wonderful blessing he has given y’all!! I love all the colors the sun and water God has given us! I would have fun just sitting on my lawn chair watching y’all enjoying your beautiful toys! I praise God he has blessed you so. :)
The best show!
i must be mis-managing my $12.50 an hour.
007tallguy My $32.57 isn’t cutting it either!
Actually you have it wrong. Your wage is helping your owners. I think I saw them on one of the boats.
Sounds like youre mismanaging your hour.
My 60.50hr isnt working either 😭
Dustin Padama jesus
At 1:15 I swear that is the dude from the video of the Fountain eating it (the one with the turn down for what song).
Same thought I had!
The boat featured in the crash video was a 38’ Fountain. Looks like a winner🧐
12:35 dude, that’s the coolest boat I’ve ever seen. A freaking jet powered boat!
here is another one I filmed at Havasu, kzhead.info/sun/n5Z_ZpeDb6SDrXk/bejne.html this one is a Skater, imho, not as cool looking as the Mystic but still incredible.. particularly because the Skater owner has a matching helicopter.
Just WOW!! ..and WOW!! Thats heaven on Earth..
A place where "Give me your line" can be taken one of two ways.
It would be interesting to hear a brief interview of each boat owner that started with very little and by hard work created a successful business where he was able to purchase a boat like this.
SanFranciscoBay Some came from humble beginnings. Not old family money or luck, but hard nose to the stone work. Trying many businesses and avenues until one finally got legs.
Just go to the Florida powerboat KZhead channel they give you an actual play by play of the event.
Amazing Sound quality
this is the coolest boat shit I have watched since years!
love it.
They all running cocaine into Miami
You’d be surprised how fast a crew of guys could slap on a Black paint Job on one of these babies, and how much money you could make in 18-24 hours! That’s what I heard anyway, and this was back around 1978-1981, when I was aware of it!
Gotta love silicone and fiberglass all made from oil. 😂
I'm binge living off the zip zap wavy powerboats for the rest of the evening...
I spoke to a friend who participated in a race and it is way more sexy watching it than being in one. Imagine riding a car at full speed down a bumpy road with no suspension.
