Re: Check this out!!!!!!!!!!!
 

MJ, I hope we are talkin about the same video. On the one I saw, his motor didn't swamp when his boat sat on it's *** as the bow went up and into a steep, breaking wave.

As I recall, the motor did stall, for some unknown reason?, and that's what really got him into trouble by lettin him get on the wrong side of the breakers in the first place.

Awesome action video. I gotta turn Extreme James onto that link. It will remind him of the time he was bangin stripers in the surf of an offshore bar from a tin boat in the wake of Hurricane Floyd. He flipped the boat, and then swam it to shore because he didn't want to lose his boat. He'll get a kick out of that link for sure. ;D

well the video, here is a boat on the wrong side of the breakers.
But the motor was dead when they started showing it to you.
It is a Yamaha. he was trying to start it and got hit by 3 waves.
After the 2nd wave he had gotten it to start and basically jumped that last wave!!

Yeah ... that's the one. :D

That's how we do it on Lake Erie! *Nice clip MJ. *The guy on the bow may need a new prop! *Bill Mc ;D

I was fishin' on the south end of Pawley's Island years ago....V-bow w/flat bottom wooden boat comes cruisin' out the creek and toward the incoming breakers...I expected him to stop short, but he kept the throttle open on the little tiller handle....first wave stood him up and laid him all the way back over, bow over stern...only time I've ever seen that...luckily he was in shallow water and was able to walk it out.... ::)

They don't make em much dumber than that guy on the front. Talk about an idiot. The guy driving acted like it was any other day on the water. Very ho hum about it. You could tell that the front guy wasn't looking forward to that last wave. Hangin on like a champ! Incredible that no one died.

I dunno about that BR. Aside from whatever happenned that got them into that mess in the first place, I think they did well. The operator kept his cool, and they positioned their weight to keep the boat from capsizing. Frankly, if it was a company boat, I might have just ditched it and swam away.

If I was the passenger I would have been swimming. I can't imagine how much that body slam hurt . . . the guy probably lost all his teeth.
