Probable had many out takes before getting the strain just right. Also helps to have a self baling cockpit once the boat uprights.
The center console looks very sea worthy, wonder why it sunk ?
Thanks for sharing. ��

Hey sorry I didn't know. I am Facebook illiterate.

Though like other things you might be able to browse without joining.

Maybe some out takes...but this guy is GOOD! Where he is, there is usually a pretty strong current. If you have 2 people (line tender and helmsman)...and current to keep the lines in place a first shot is often possible.

Without a self bailing transom, get it upright and drag it into shallow water or slighshot it onto a sandbar....then pump out.

Sometimes because of the angle of attack the boat will assume, enough water comes out so when you slow down, the gunners are above the water so you can pump dry. The biggest issue with TTops full of water, they want to keep ruling over.

Can't say why it sank, but there are more than a couple possibilities....

I wish people could learn how to take pictures and video with the proper resolution and learn to how to keep things in frame. You don't need a Facebook acct. to view the video, but it is somewhat unwatchable.

Wow, yes!

And I just want to add: HOLD THE D**M PHONE THE RIGHT WAY when you take photos or videos which might be viewed on web pages or the nightly news.

I suspect there's a whole generation which has never held a camera. They don't know that when you're using your phone as a camera, you normally want it in "landscape" orientation, instead of "profile." (Unless, of course, you are really taking a profile picture!)

Rant over. Thanks for listening.

Humm, ok, when I tried to view it it kept prompting me to login. Sometimes there is a “not now” button, but if it was there, I missed it.

Anyway, back to the boat topic rather than Facebook.

When I went to the above link, it wanted a Facebook account for me as well. I don't have one. After a little fishing around with Google, however, I found an area of Facebook that contained this video without an account required for viewing:

Very interesting video!

If it was being done single handed with the captain driving and filming with a smartphone.....not sure it's really that bad.....it's not a youtube how to video.

It's so nothing a very busy business owner through on Facebook for general consumption.

My totally ignorant of BoatUS friend watched it immediately and seemed to get it.

Anyone interested in an assistance towing job.....after awhile the routine tows can get pretty boring...but after almost 15 years of doing it....I loved every day that was a salvage day.

Sure it wasn't nice to see a wrecked boat, but the mental gymnastics to get the boat to a marina and out of the water with minimal physical or environmental damage as quickly and cheaply as possible (safely too) was great.

Not sure I would trust that bow eye to hold up under such a heavy pull. We had a Carver that had a pretty heavy duty bow eye that broke just pulling the boat up onto a trailer. It had crevice corrosion that was not visible and broke at that point. But it did work in this case.

On more recent boats, say 2000 and newer....never had an eye break...the old cast chrome covered ones ....yes.

Gotta trust something there...certainly not a cleat.

It's also not that much of a pull to get the boat up slowly....I probably pulled 10 times harder with serious shockloading to get people off sandbars.

The eye that broke was 1/2” stainless steel. It had a hairline crevice corrosion but it was just barely inside the fiberglass so you couldn’t see it.

My mother ended up in the hospital, after having been almost killed by an eye breaking off while connected to a stretchy nylon line connected to a car trying to pull a half sunk boat further up onto shore. The whole situation was riddled with unsafe tactics. Lots of lessons learned. Even more so, because the eye was not connected to a heavy fiberglass boat, but rather a heavy 1939 Century wood boat. Wood screws can only hold so much! I guess the relevance of my comment here is that for me, personally, I would be VERY wary of ever putting any undue "shock" stresses on an eye of any boat -- especially if there were humans anywhere around the other end!
