Yeah I posted that under 32 wide body, the 32 is the same hull made wider and a tad longer, they closed up the front some to pack more air which would have made it submarine more under those circumstances, which are highly unusual yahoo driving antics.

Any new stress cracks?

[Euroski]

Is it always that rough there?

[scott reierson]

I saw that one too. I wonder if he heard "The Snap" or saw a crack over his shoulder? After he turns around he comes back in kinda on the timid side. It did take some punishment. Yikes!

...only thing good about that guy doing that crap, is that he did it alone...

LOTS of videos of these geniuses hammering through this inlet. Some look a lot worse than this. I don't get it, if this inlet is so rough, why are all these guys launching these boats through it so damn hard. Take it easy, get out of there, then hammer on down!

The sales person probably told him that it could go through anything.... great boat btw

He was doing great until the back got hung up on the wave.

A lot of Chris Craft 32 CC's lost their windshields there....

Guy who was teaching me sports car driving called it testicular occlusion--they get so big you can't see where you are going! :smiletest:

I saw that the other day. It hurts my back just watching him!!! More money than sense. ;)

I found those videos of haulover on YouTube and now I addicted. It's great viewing for those of us who live in the North.

[silverbullet02]

There are a few guys with youtube channels that must spend all day every day there videoing. I find them all strangely addicting, I can sit and watch those for way longer than I should. My wife hates when I just let it play on the tv, haha! I find it amazing how it'll throw around 50' boats like bath toys.

When the tide is going out all of the water around Miami Beach is funneling through the openings. I had a large cat and we went through there at 120+ a few years ago. But it was not rough like that. Years ago at the Miami Beach offshore races I was in a safety boat, a Center Console with twin 250's. A 46 Skater race boat broke down during the race so we towed it back through the inlet after the race. The tide was going out at that time. It took almost full throttle to tow that cat against the tide with me driving the Center Console. I was worried the line would snap. What made it worse is all the clown pleasure boats going through at the same time.

like brad said, ive been at half throttle standing still under the bridge in bakers haulover inlet. its nutz. boynton beach inlet is simular...

[flabum1017]

One thing about that inlet on outgoing tide and a breezy day.....don't try to turn around and go back in...... get out of the turbulence then turn around...........
