The beep beep on the bow is fitting.

Look's like A newbee - big deal.

Its not a Big Deal till he pulls into your marina and puts a 10 foot scratch into the side your boat then it becomes a "Real Big Deal".

LOL

hate to see what he has to pay for gas - heck it took him 25 gallons worth just to get out the marina dock area alone. Wonder if he got lost coming back in to refuel ? the chick was a lot help also -probably complaining she was hot every second, telling him to hurry up as well. Nice boat and sounded good, so I have to say lucky him but would wonder what it looks like currently - rash or no.

Omfg. Had to stop watching. I know everyone is a newb at one point but.........
I like the dinghy as protection!!!!
Everyone there hates that guy.

Did I hear someone in the video say it only had 1 running motor? Seems this was posted once before here.

Unless there is another Activator with that wrap then it is a 27 single. Newer step design. It was at Manhasset Bay Marina a couple years ago.

BUP 09-08-2014 08:02 PM

I thought it was a 30 Act. Also the word twins and only 1 engine working was mentioned ? I do not recall a 27 with twins. Did they make a 30 with twins never seen that either. The 30 is more rounded plus longer & wider than the 27. IMO its a 30.

That is a 30 and a single. Looked like he was battling a current and definitely having trouble. At least he didn't panic!

My Donzi could get into trouble as the blackhawk didn't turn well in reverse.

It is a 30. I know the boat (no the driver), and it was at Manhasset Bay Marina last year.
Long single engine boat, w/ no weight up in the bow does not steer well at all, and any wind will blow the bow like a sail.
He did need to goose the throttle a bit, but probably was nervous in the tighter quarters.
He really just needed a hand pushing off.

BUP 09-09-2014 01:26 PM

I hear you and I shouldn't have said what I did in my post but really was joking. The boat is nice and sounded good as well. We all had to start at the beginning at some point and things did not go smooth for any of us. Sometimes it still doesn't trying to handle these boats perfectly everytime out.

Some help from the passenger would have help him out to get rolling better. That's it and lucky him for having a 30 Activator as most of us know they do not come cheap in price either. What year is the boat and what power & drive set up ?
