AR240 at Haulover on Wavy Boats. Anyone from here?

That slap!! Geez! ?

That Intrepid was amazing though!
 
That pontoon pulled a nice sub move though.
 
I cringed hard the entire time that Avalon pontoon was the focus. I love most boats, but pontoons... are they really boats? ;)
 
this is my nightly TV, I throw on one of the few channels that film the FL channels. Rough waves, awesome boats and bad drivers. I see a few yamahas going through overhaul, most eat a little water (usually have people in the bow)

that midnight express (beast) though....
 
He kept momentum and made the best of he could.

My favorite is the Red Top Legend… just goes to prove that experience and skill rule the day. Also liked grandpa with the grand daughters, made them move out of the bow and take a position behind him.

To answer the question “what did this captain do wrong” This mooseknuckle had all that meat forward when there was ample seating around the helm and in the stern, was going way too slow And the bow was way too low. That Cobia has plenty of length, hull, and power to breeze through those conditions.

So this one was a hot topic here for a bit…. I call it a tale of two 210 FSH’s, one does it wrong at 33 secs

and another does it right at 3:14

That second FSH probably has twice the amount of weight as the first. Second FSH has enough speed / power, bow high, and most of the meat centered or aft.
