Gladiator accident in Biscayne Bay
 

OK, I started the post, I can kill it if it goes the way of the first one.. :crazy:

Now, anyone have any idea what / where this happened?? Just the facts please, there has been no coverage in the papers that I have seen.

so about this weather babe...

Yeah... anyone have any nude pics of this one?.......:D .... uh... oh yeah..... THIS ISN'T RELATED........ :D

Damn if we had a new chick like her around I may actually want to watch :D:D

OK, my mistake.. Now, back to the question at hand...

Looks like she gives good sweather.

In checking accidents in general in Biscayne Bay there have been several in the last couple years. I have not boated there. That thread was a circus glad it was deleted.

OK, so there was no accident last week??

Miami Story










:D :drool:

:crazy:

In between all the other bull****, some facts did emerge in the other thread. I thought this was some definitive info:

Does anyone have the video ? How does a 36 Foot Gladiator flip on Biscayne Bay ? For the most part the waves there are close together and max 4 footers. Unless he was on the outside and caught some swells I would think that boat should have been able to handle such conditions... Speed and driver error ?

36' ff

Douuhh.. Sorry.. I corrected it... So GLH, you have a 42 Tiger right ? In a bay situation, waves close together does it ever feel like you are going to lose control ? Is it something that just happens all of a sudden with no warning ? Never been on a boat that big but my Power Play 25 never feels unpredictable on the bay no matter what the bay has to offer. Albeit, when it's really rought I'll try to keep it at a safe speed. I'm just curious.

No kidding! What's up with our stations, do we have any chicks - weather or anchor - that are hot? :mad:

She is smokin!:crazy:

You can always watch www.nakednews.com
They're pretty hot!


:D :D :D

Thanks Baja. :cool:

It was funny, I posted the facts to the accident 3-4 times and still people were asking for the facts afterward. I guess they didn't want the truth, only juicy rumors.

Nice sweater puppets.

BD and PR,

Thanks for the info. I have to agree with FF, how the heck does one do that in the bay? It was windy, but not that rough last week. I run the bay all the time, dont see how it can be done, but apparently it can. The video ought to be interesting watching...

I wonder, was this the one I saw leaving Lipship minus drives today...

You did tease us about video however and never replied as far as I heard. What up with the vid deal? I also heard while we're at it that you were on a 46 skater for the air and sea show? As glh would say " Humor us with specifics". :)

On a side note he can also be heard occasionally muttering " Give me another heineken, old man.":rolleyes: NK

I would imagine there was more than just going WOT in a straight line here but this is only speculation on my part.

As for Biscayne Bay I ran that a lot back in the late 80's and early 90's when we had a place on the east coast of FL and have never gotten spanked even when it was nasty and that was with a Fountain 29'. A lot more people have more experience then me on that body of water, the roughest part has always been to me just south of Miami for about 5 miles.

When we ran in February this year with the new rig there was no problems at all and one time was with another 30 rigs for a PR.

My very humble opinion is that most of these people spanked with steps get it within the first few hours of operations, even if they are accomplished boaters with other designs... The Gladiator, that tree climbing Fountain, the ballet dancing Fountain 38 on Winni last year in NH and unfortunately the Top Gun in Myrtle Beach or something close by. Take guys I know like pokedherun/tgts, Mr. Abraham, OSG, spitfire and cigarette1 just to name a few they run their boats like raped apes and and are having nothing but good times to thankfully share with us.

Again my very humble opinion, if and when I get a stepped Cigarette I will handle EXTREMELY carefully in the first 20-30 hours and always keep the lessons learned by others in the back of my mind.

Running in BBay in Feb. It's all good!

Occasionally old man. Nahh I say that more often than occasionally, a good use of that word would be;

You fry your engines occasionally. :eek:

Thanks GLH... Your Tiger kicks a$$ .. (Just in case I had not mentioned it in the past....) That's a reasonable explaination. I know it took me about that long to be able to "get used to and run" my boat the way it's meant to be run. I have been on small fast rigs before but 25 is the biggest I have run over 80. As my budget grows (hopefully it will continue to do so), I am looking to step up to a bigger rig. I'll keep that "break in" period in mind....

Thanks again...

Don't forget these two....We've been known to jam the throttles every once in awhile. Just ask OTIS311 :D. We ran with the "Big Dawgs" to Monty's to ya know! :D :D. Good times :cool:

LS JR.

I meant people with stepped rigs JR.
Another in BBay.

That's what I figured...Our time will come, :D :cool: :D

Hey GL
 

My very humble opinion is that most of these people spanked with steps get it within the first few hours of operations, even if they are accomplished boaters with other designs...

I have to agree with you with you GL step bottoms will spank you hard if you are not using your head. I know the boat that rolled It was a 102 mph gladiator Driving By a guy who thinks he knows it all. $hit happens .
He is lucky to be alive & no one was hurt bad.


RICK (OSG)

Thanks Rick, now go fishing like you do every freakn day in your life and we'll go back to work like all us poor slobs do!!! :D:D:D

Re: GL

I'll tell you Rick if I can catch a beast like that I might break my 40 year non fishing streak!

Thanks. ;)


No problemo, guys.

sorry
 

sorry for going off the topic today guys



PS that fish was 616 lbs

Re: sorry
 

Almost as heavy as that sweather meat in Post #2.

616#...change your name to One Sick Fisherman!

What do you do with a big Marlin like that... can you cut it up and have a huge fish fry?.... I can't imagine trying to mount something like that... where and how would you hang it?............:eek:

Hey Reed, quite hijacking threads man! :p

Now back to the topic. That little sweater filler sure has a nice pooper.
