I've been watching the Haulover videos for some time and it looks very tricky to navigate. Too slow and you repeatedly stuff. Too fast and you get big air. I've seen a lot of bowriders take on a whole lot of water and most of the boaters don't have enough sense to have everyone in the back of the boat until they get past the breakers. There is video of at least one boat sinking and another of a passenger flying overboard.

He obviously has no business driving a boat of that caliber. He didn't even back out of the throttles or stop after his passengers were all on the ground. Realistically he deserves to be paying all medical bills.

The owner is on FB and friends with a lot of folk in the offshore boating world. Dont recall his name but recall his post about buying it rather recently.

It gets funky on tide changes for sure, if the wind kicks up it is nasty but from the bridge to the ocean you have plenty of time to U turn in flat water (1000+ ft) but the current can still rip through there. The jetty is popular because it is easy to access and plenty of morons pull their u-turn right at the ocean opening

If it was deeper/wider like Port Everglades or Govt Cut then the water doesn't get as nasty.

Easy with the pitch forks and mob mentality. Sh*t happens. People makes mistakes, have poor judgement at times and / or do stupid stuff.

I don’t know this guy but that sucks. Feel very bad For all involved. I know I’ve personally looked back and thought to myself “damn that was close / lucky / could’ve ended bad...”

hope everyone makes a quick recovery. And is able to boat another day.

Not sure who built it but Bernie was selling it NJ for awhile.

39 ft and 2200 HP.............you better have some skills or maybe start with a 38 and 1/2 the HP!

Schuble got a pretty good launch leaving Port Everglades in the OSO Gladiator (1:47 mark). VIdeo is 15 years old and plenty of stupid sh!t going on (and notice not a center console in the whole video!)

The OSO Gladiator is probably THE most abused Cigarette in modern times. Gary Sanchez and I were leaving SoBe years ago, Miami Boat Show week; Gary and I in the F2-TG (that the Lucky Strikes owned x2), and Titos was driving Steve's Gladiator when it had the 496 Vortec GMC motors in it. We were following Titos up to Phils to park the boats for the night.

Leaving Government Cut, Titos and the 36' Gladiator literally...
...dropped completely out of sight about 300 feet in front of us, and then drove up the face of the wave in front of him so vertical, that I could no bullshlt, read the GMC logo plain as day across the BOW of the boat. I'll always remember Titos driving a "rented, rented, boat" that day.

It may be a 2nd place story when LS Jr and LS take Steve's new Gladiator out!

Still, in my opinion, the BEST Boating video to date! Captures “the scene” PERFECTLY.
