I thought you were joking when you said to cut the mast down, but they did!

Tow captain looks like a fun job if you're good at it, and completely miserable if you suck or can't suffer fools.

One more derelict boat remove. Sure hope it was restored and not scraped. For the boat has a heavy laid up solid fiber glass hull and worth restoring. Jim Rodgers

There must be an obvious sandbar that is hard to see or the capt does not pay attention nor look at charters or navigation gear. Jim Rodgers

I'm sure your job has its bad days like any job but it seems like being a tow boat captain is a pretty good job.

Thanks!!!

....mmm he was wearing a out of date n worn out - cheap Life vest ... he also had his Dingy strapped to the sail boat

Surely that boat is a complete write off

BW took a beautiful platform and ruined it, IMHO.

That was just an odd tow overall...

Great job captain

Pilings strapped to the side of the sailboat. Sawzalling a mast off onto your boat. Yikes 😢😢😢

amazed it was not sitting on the bottom

almost scratched my boat, more appropriately titled

Another great video Cap'n. Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!

Only beer can allow things like this to happen. Fortunately, it also prevents the partiers from being injured. Sadly, it does nothing to help people nearby or innocent mangrove swamps, or blameless and innocents boats. Tragedy.

Great job as always Capt Ken. Can't wait to get back to Florida. It's to cold up here. Jan 2nd oh yeah. Lol

-Never seen that before. -Well, it is a Bayliner. :)

I like watching the way you problem solve and watching the different ways you rig in these salvage videos. Stay safe, sir

they must have been using the back side of the saw blade sailors????

Poor Sweat Pea! When I worked on a farm I'd get sooo bored running the tractor up and down the field.

Nicely done👍

I'm uneducated on this, but why isn't he closer to the boat? Seems like it would blow more sand.

It looks like blue water in fron of the bow. Other than running gear and prop issues I'm supprised he didn't wash out from the bow.

As soon as you arrived I thought “comealongs from the poles to the stern corners to get the gunnels above the water and start pumping”. Next thing I know you’re digging out the gear.🤗 Obvious to me this wasn’t your first rodeo. Well done Skipper.👍

By the way I've been in the boat and yacht building industry for over 30 years at different places from intrepid to Hatteras

Add a yard I worked at in fort Lauderdale which I will not name, we put together high-end Viking yachts that were shipped to us in a package. Even if I had the money I wouldn't buy a Viking

no, it's still locked.

Standing in line with the tow line!

Anti climax thanks for shit

Isn't fuel more buoyant than water?

How much does something like this cost?

I love them zuki's, wish u would give us some more info it's so quiet,!

4 gilfs a pontoon boat and beer what could go wrong ????

I'm surprised you guys don't use a kinetic rope like we use in off roading. It stretches allowing you to get a running start and use that inertia to pull the boat without yanking on it. Yes, in this case, you were intentionally pulling softly, but even with this, it softens the pull. But if you had a boat you couldn't pull off, the inertia would help. If you want to know more, watch Matt's Off Road recovery, when he is pulling cars from sand.

Hope you have a unaground and Merry Christmas.

I you could mount a quick release to the stern line you wouldn't have to cut the line. The equalizing could be done with the bow line. You did a very good job , being alone.

No buoy Markers?

I grew up in Sarasota and spent a lot of time fishin there. There's no end to the idiots getting themselves in trouble on boats. I've seen a couple vehicles sunk at the 10th St ramp and all kinds of drama there. I moved away in the end of 08 and I've visited a couple times since. There are more idiots than ever.

nice job captain

Bill is awesome commentary, thank you for leaving that part in. Good stuff

4’ draft.Wow.

Washing out the props should have been set up closer to the transom. The transmission, engine mounts could be damaged when the props impact the bottom in reverse.

Always know your draft n the depth of water come on people

props come out a lot easier if you put the engines in neutral and pull the stern sideways. that way they rotate & walk in the direction you're pulling rather than act like anchor flukes. Something that size would be more likely to come out with the engines in neutral and pulling the bow sideways toward the channel. have as much weight as is possible moved to one side of the boat or the other, which will slightly lift one prop. It will usually pivot on one prop or the other

Never been ale to get a boat out like that i always grag the front hook and it pulls it around and out.

I can’t believe you can dig up the beach like that with your prop wash and not be fined for it

Don’t you just screw up the props and rudders?
