For those that are confused: In= down (bringing prop *IN* toward the boat) Out = up (up and *OUT* from the boat)

I never realized how good my dad was at operating our fishing boat until I watched this video.

This really is one of the best videos on youtube re boats.

brutal and beautiful, love the shots. The cliffs around Sydney are so picturesque.

That last jump was perfect

well played sir, some good info on there for when I get a bigger boat. CHEER

Another pro tip: Lift off the throttle while going into head seas to prevent launching the bow over a wave, give some throttle out of following seas to prevent the bow digging in. Perhaps more for racing drivers but can be useful if you're caught in rough conditions or are going over shallow spots.

Good information from a good man. Thank you sir! Also great footage.

Great video and outstanding advice!

I love seeing boats in rougher sea conditions. Too many boat videos show them in less than challenging sea states. Love seeing Grady Whites at their best. I just purchased a 98 Sailfish with original Saltwater Yamaha OX66 2 strokes. The Hunt hull allows me yo fish and cruise Buzzards Bay and Rhode Island sound with confidence. I havr had the boat for 4 months and have fallen in love with it! Goes anywhere!

Finally. Talking about trim in choppy Sydney harbour rather than on US lakes and flat Florida conditions. A small ski boat can really struggle in harbour cruiser wake and 2ft wind chop.

Nice to see realistic conditions

Absolutely beautiful footage...

1:53 THANK YOU! Get Captains to use that bow they paid so much for.

The filmography... always mint!!

Nice hop at the end

I have a 20 year old 17' Angler , it's my first boat. I am going to buy a Grady next. Even with my boat this presentation helped me A LOT.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE SAID BUT BEING A CAT OWNER JUST HAMMER DOWN . THOSE GRADY WHITES ARE SO WELL BUILT. THE CAPTAIN DOES IT AGAIN GREAT STUFF

Thank you.

Insert standard captain wave launch here- I’d love to see them in a production meeting - right so we’ll film it doin some gnarly turns and then we gotta find something to jump it off? Agreed? Yep - job done

well done

my next boat gradywhite increible

"smoother" being a relative term..

Nice boat..

Self bailing is one of the truly great hull designs ever. Bilge pumps are great, but to have water flow out via gravity is far superior--far far superior. But never ever forget--no matter how fine the design--maintain your below deck fittings, sea cocks, etc. With a catastrophic failure, no pump can keep up and even self bailing can be overwhelmed if too much water is coming in. I think some people truly feel that if they "pay a lot" you "should be safe" and it simply is not true. You MUST maintain--or pay someone else--to maintain your boat, no matter how fine the design. And YOU must learn a few things--again, no matter how fine the design. I just saw today, a fine 40 footer hit by lightning--they instantly lost all power--in rough stuff. They hit their EPIRB--good, but what else should you always do? Do you know? Think about it, what happens when you lose power--what does the sea do to your hull? And what might YOU do to stabilize the boat until help arrives--any idea? Some of you know, but I see many who have no idea, and if they boat, they should.

I've got a lot to learn about rougher conditions. I don't like slamming the hull down on the water, but several times this happens on these videos. It seems to me, again - low experience - that would be dangerous or have potential to damage the boat. Mine is a 86 GW Offshore 24. Love it. Just don't like slamming it. Thoughts?

Beautiful

There are Several Great Boats & unfortunately there are many I wouldn't recommend. Grady White boats are Good Boats. Regulator' Everglades' many other. & Then there are CAPE HORN they are truly in a class of their own. 2" thick Hull. More closed cell boat foam & well if there wasn't any Cape Horn Boats I would consider Grady White

what ? didnt get the last part ? if you have a wave coming from back and push the boat side way so it leans to the side and starts to roll over. so you should not stear the boat to that direktion it leans to? is int it worse to steering to the other side where the waves is coming from? then it tipps over faster ? its like you have a slide going on with the car and if you steer to much with the slide it will do a u turn, should you not try to steer with the slide so it starts to "surf" only if you know this is gonna tipp over if i dont do anything. so here we go. waves from back starts to push boat side way to the right. and its a warning for tipp over to the right. to witch way should you steer the boat then ? to left or right ?

Anyone know the music used?

Legitamate..

GET ON PLANE AT 11 OR 12 KNOTS? SERIOUSLY?

I don't agree with all of this my first boat was a 74 18 ft Grady. Now I have a 26 outrage Whaler with twins. But what he saying digging the bow in if you hit a wave the wrong way you're really going to flip the boat or it's going to hit the waves so hard it is going to throw you out of the boat. Over the years I've had other boats and if Captain boats up to 68 foot. Respect the sea that's about the best I could make it in one sentence he doesn't tell you that

I understand trim tabs but changing engine angle explanation needs a better look. In your video you could tell by your words if we should raise and put more prop in the water. Please redo. Thanks

all very old news every body knows this stuff already
