Triumph Boat Commercials, Others

After watching “You and Your Johnson” from Jeff Hemmel’s post the other day, I was reminded of the Triumph Boat commercials from a few years back. Most boat commercials are pretty terrible, but the Triumph ones stood out, as did a couple of others.

Drag Boat Crash Video

Video still from the crash.

Someone captured on film an insane drag boat crash at the 2010 Augusta Southern Nationals drag boat event over the weekend. A local news station posted the video on its website. The driver was taken to the hospital for a possible broken leg. According to this news report, he was doing about 167 mph when he lost control.

The fastest I’ve ever gone in a boat is 116 mph in a 46′ Cigarette named American Muscle a few years back, and that was a trip. Going 50 miles faster than that on a boat the size of a doormat? Insane.

The National Geographic Channel is kicking off the Expedition Great White series this Sunday at 9:00 pm eastern. Chris Fischer, who roamed the world for ESPN2′s “Offshore Adventures” show, along with Capt. Brett McBride, lead a crew on a scientific expedition to catch and tag great white sharks. From the looks of the video teasers, it looks pretty entertaining, and maybe even educational, hence the plug here.

Flash restrictions won’t let me embed this on my fly fishing blog, so here’s a great bit from Andros South guide Torrie Bevans about fly casting into the wind.

Saw this on YouTube this morning and it made me laugh, though I guess if I’m the new owner I’d cry.

VIDEO: Why You Should Wear Your Life Jackets

BoatUS sent this in an email news alert as a reminder of why you should wear your lifejackets.

WATCH THE VIDEO

From the email:

The good news is all survived. The man referenced in the video who needed CPR to be revived is now sitting up in bed and in stable condition at the hospital.

As we approach the summer boating season, I hope this incident helps us all understand the importance of life jackets. Are yours in good shape, inspected and ready to go? And are you willing to wear it more often?”

Not many boat companies have a history rich enough for a video documentary, but Chris-Craft does. Check out this nine minute video on YouTube.
