For years I rode a motorcycle to see the county side near and far. Now it's a Seadoo. It's opened up a whole new world of places to go. I am fortunate to live in an area that has so much water to explore. Come along with me as we learn about PWC and the places they can take you. Welcome to the YUKON BOB channel.
I Hit A Rock My Season Is Over
It was supposed to be a three day trip that turned into only 4 hours on the water. I was on beautiful Lake Temagami 5 hours north of home when I hit a rock and tore out a huge strip from my hull. I think that this years videos have come to an end.

It all wen’t wrong. Sometimes even with planning things can go in a different direction. What was supposed to be a two day camping trip turned into a long one day drive. Still managed to get a ride in on Parry Sound.

Sorry to see this. Hate to sound like a smart ass but those buoys are there for a reason. Luckily that looks like a pretty easy fix.
$3 to 7 million are not cottages. They are Lake homes. I grew up with cottages, simple, small, function, in most cases self constructed. I like your channel, however you cannot truly explore a Lake by just going fast like riders on a chopper. Not unlike tourists driving on a highway, only stopping for gas and food. I get it that your channel is about riding not unlike motorcycles. BTW the richest lake is Lake Joseph.
if it makes you feel better...my wife hit an oyster bed on a 22 wake pro and did almost 3k worth of damage. so I feel your pain! but that's what insurance is for!
Yes I have insurance so let’s see how all this plays out. Would not hurt my feelings to see it written off. Not likely though.
Ive had a similar situation happen to me but the rock punctured my ride plate emptying all of my coolant and putting the machine into limp mode and unrideable. I was in the middle of no where. The water was emptying when your engine was running and the bailer tubes were siphoning the water out - luckily you had a slow leak for the system to do its job. Also amazing you had a second rider. While your seadoo is being repaired can make a video on what to do in these unfortunate emergency situations Glad youre safe and got back ok. Its only money at the end of the day.
If you are going through insurance, might be a good idea to take the video down until that's all sorted. The more the insurance company knows about the specifics of how this occurred, you might cause more of a hassle for yourself. You were operating outside of the channel marker... just my 2 cents. Best of luck
"I was looking in a different direction, didn't see it..." despite the fact that there's a red and green marker right there!!! and what if that rock had been a canoe, paddleboard, or air mattress with kids on it.. do us all a favour and stay off the water, and if you drive your YUKONBOB SUV the same way, stay off the roads as well.. my suggestion would be to take down your YT video so the rest of us much more responsible boaters don't come to realize what a d.u.m.b.a.s.s. you really are..
It is possible to buy just the hull and swap everything over. Either way, it's an insurance claim now. On another note, there were channel markers at that location. Never ignore those .
Sorry that happened, thanks for sticking with us filming during that ordeal. Hoping for the best
@@LifeWithKernelLee Hey I appreciate that comment. Somehow makes me feel a little better.
@@bobsudeyko4088 just know we appreciate you
BOB: Any of us could have done that... Especially when you are out for that long... Ironically at the beginning of the video I was thinking a good light moutanin bike helmet might be good if you ever "get thrown...." As the saying goes "shit happens." At least you are out there enjoying nature UNLIKE so much of us...
Wonder if Seadoo will ever make a stornger "skid-plate" type of model... That seems way too soft to me...
Part of the "price of exploring..." 💪...
This was 100% preventable. Did not follow basic navigation barriers.
Get a life TROLL !
IDEA💡: Some kind of front extrnsion that "flags" when i hits ground ⁉ So you at least get a few extra seconds of advance notice on rocks, etc.❗
WOW ! What a great video Sir ! So well done and FUN 💪❤
WOW ! in 1980 I lived right below Shirley Heights on Galleon Beach road for 2 months... This video is quite nostalgic for me... I could see the roof of where I stayed... I was given free rent because I had caught a famous elusive ! burglar that had been terrorizing the then-club... I got a good look at his face one night and was able to ID him to the police... He use to escape by running up the hill to the very place where you are eating in this video ! Amazing... I feel like a dinosaur now 😊
BOB you have the nicest tee shirts I have ever seen... WHERE do oyu get those ???? Thx..
Amazon. Rash guard shirts.
Product is called Bassdash
@@bobsudeyko4088 👍🙏
@@bobsudeyko4088 👍🙏
Sorry about the situation but nobody got hurt and looks like it can be fixed. Good luck moving forward with it. Nice to hear the positive comments concerning the repair facility.
Hi Bob: Any recommedations for when we do St. Barts.. Event been yet... Spent 2 months on Antigua 45 years ago :)... Curious who you dove with to ?
Hey great vid can you tell me your nav system? Is it subscription based?
@@robertfleming5949 Navionics. Yes it is subscription based. I like it.
I feel your pain Bob! Good on you though to have posted this in such detail, I look forward to more on the repair process and eventually your return to the waterways. When I first moved my boat to Georgian Bay I soon met a veteran boater of those waters who said something to me that has stuck: "there are two types of boaters, those that *have* hit bottom, and those that *will* hit bottom". If you boat long enough I believe those words are very true. As others have pointed out the most unfortunate part of this is the green marker was there to steer you clear of that hazard, c'est la vie, we all make mistakes for sure, on the bright side, you will be WAY more dialed in about markers and upstream/downstream the next time you are in hazardous waters like those again. Once you *have* hit bottom you NEVER want to do it again. Don't ask me how I know that LOL!
Its really hard when I look back at that video to figure out how I hit that rock. It was well marked. I spot those things in the ewater all the time but I just was not looking in the right direction. Sometimes with all the filming I have too many things going on at once. Camera was not recording though on impact.
@@bobsudeyko4088 You are a true adventuerer-- -as the man worte -- anyone who does "enough of this" will have those experiences... It was highly instructive for us... Thank you for sharing 🙏
@Just as well you didnt have your drone up at the time of impact. You may have forgotten about and it also went west, adding to your pain. bobsudeyko4088
They should be able to remove the bad spot and fiberglass it back strong then they need to look ip how to repair “gel coat” If it were mine I would have them fiber glass the spots then gel coat the area repaired then once the gel coat fully cures I would have them sand the entire running surface and apply a product called Super Slick 2000. Also highly recommend you start carrying a roll of gorilla tape on your rides so you can tape over any dings like that in the future. Also as others have stated there are suction hoses in the rear of the ski that works when the jet pump is on and it wicks out any water that gets in hull as you are riding to a certain amount of course. That’s why it was not as much water when you checked on water but as soon as you docked it and loaded it in trailer it was pouring out the water that leaked in then. Have them Super Slick it for sure.
You could open the drain plugs at the rear and run it that way Bob.
Ouch!
What a crock of shit union fucked it all up for everybody and govt fucked it all up 2. Strike fucked it all up 2. What a shame and pity loved that place.
Could happen to any of us. Glad it was near the end of the season. Looking forward to see the insurance process. Keep the videos coming.
Oh man what bad luck. Glad to hear you are ok and was able to get back under your own power. I think if can be fixed quickly and get back out on the water. Keep us posted.
Easily fixable. Repaired hundreds just like this.
That’s good to hear. Since the outer hull is CM-Tech what steps would you take to repair this?
@@iananderson7569 I would grind away all the delaminated materials to get back to solid laminates. Make sure the edges are tapered to allow for the new layers of fiberglass to lap over the original materials. Build it up with layers of fiberglass so you can grind and shape it without the need for fillers. when shaped apply 4 coats of black gelcoat and sand it down to a smooth surface and feather the edges that can be painted since the new hulls are coated with acrylic and need to be painted instead of polished gelcoat. You will probably have to go down to 600 grit prior to paint.
Would it necessary to remove the engine and apply glass on the inside to give strength to the two side hulls. Could there be hair line cracks that could only be seen when the motor is out. In your opinion would the repair be as strong as the original.
@@bobsudeyko4088generally if you grind the damages back far enough to allow the new layers of glass to layup over sound existing layers and build it up enough so there is no fillers required it will be plenty strong unless you hit something again
Sorry to hear this
Sendings loves from Sudbury
Sorry to hear about this Bob ! Hope you fix this up and back on the water soon ! This also reminds me to stay in between the markers !
So sorry to hear Bob, enjoy your videos very much. You handled it much better then i did, i know this effects you very much. Best thing is you have insurance, possibly it may be totaled out.. but the new seadoos come out on Monday, maybe something be a upgrade and happier with also!
Curious will insurance cover this ?
@@MayooN not sure how Canadian Insurance rules work, but to me in the US if you have collision coverage it would be covered.
Thanks Bob I will try and follow up this process through to its conclusion so we can all see what happens.
HI Bob - sorry to hear - it's Kashe boat works you went to, they do very good work. They used to do all the work for the OPP marine units. It's in good hands.
Thanks for the info!
So sorry to hear Bob, I would be surprised if thats not repairable. The guy looking at it didnt seem too knowledgeable, hopefully his father is. Looking forward to a followup video. This is every seadoo rider`s nightmare Hoping you're back out again soon
A few years ago before I got a Seadoo, our local hardware store was advertising heavy duty tape you can put on surfaces under water and it wont come off. So when I got a ski, could I find this tape, nope.😅
That sucks BOB, but remember the jet pump has venturi actuated evacuators that constantly removes water from the hull. If it is fiberglass it is easily repaired, if it is Rim Metton...not so much, but there is always a way.
Wow good to know !
Could have happened to any of us. I’m sure you’ll come back in no time. We’ll be waiting right here
So sad. But you did answer a big question that has most seadoo users wondering, "just how effective the twin ventura tubes are at evacuating water in a leak situation", when in motion of course. That was impressive to see the flooded bilge down to the original trickle after you travelled some distance. The outer layer is not plastic according to your boat repairer said. The outer layer is a gelcoat over the fiberglass hull. Did you edit out the moment you hit the rock because of the foriegn language you suddenly spoke in. #*!!^ The upside is, you could replace it with the new 2025 Seadoo line up coming out next week.😊
Camera was not recording at the precise moment of impact and yes there would have been some choice words used.
I know enough about fiberglass and boats. That is very fixable . Leave the insurance company out of it and pay for it to be fixed . Buy a both a manual and electric bilge pump . So simple and cheap for both .
Were you in the channel when you hit that rock ? Does the machine not come with a built in automatic bilge pump ? They should have both power pump and manual pump . Now you showed you were just out of the channel . Stay in the marked channels
YB, several have posted thoughts about Insurance not covering this type of damage or incident, citing Operator Error etc....Could this claim be a problem.??... please document, as a boater, this to me is a accident that could happen to anyone and I have always been an advocate and made sure I have my boat all perils .
You could say every accident is non insurable. What the insurer is really saying, everybody should stay in bed 24/7😂
Tough luck Bob,sometimes that transition from what looks like lots of water to rocks just under the surface comes pretty quick.Seen the buoys right there.Can be fixed but could be $$$. Good luck like your vids.
Sorry to see. Were you in the lead? The front rider was standing and looking earlier when you was trailing him. Did he see it and rode clear?
@@leem9429 he did go by it but was out of sight when I hit it. Totally my fault. Not his job to point out every rock to me.
Good thing you can buy new hull and transfer everything in new hull
If not I will call you
You got to watch that lake bud I know it very well I live 25 mins away from that lake and fish it lots be very careful on there
I hear you. A momentary lack of attention has cost me.
@bobsudeyko4088 I have been there to . I Find ya need to stay between the markes or go slow. I fish the Montreal River in Latchferd lots and it can be rocky in there to
So sorry for the accident Bob, these things happen. From the look of it, that is repairable but needs some good workmanship. Best of luck and keep us updated. Regards from Malta.
@@anvella I will try and follow this through to show what happens
Your insurance will it cover it and if it's not repairable your insurance will get you a brand new one
Wow Bob, sorry that happened hey get a bilge pump Sea-Doo has a nice bilge pump installed I'm having that installed in my Sea-Doo this fall parts and labor will probably run you $400, $450 for bilge pump. Keep us posted please
@@paulpuglia8480 will try and follow this through.
@@bobsudeyko4088Disagree, the Seadoo bilge will annoy most people, as it is constantly whirring away even without water. Best bilge is one with a built in electronic sensor to detect water. Like Rule Bilge pumps.
@@paulpuglia8480 will try and follow this through to a conclusion
Should of hit the rock a few more times to make sure it's written off I wouldn't want that fixed Didn't you hit a rock on that same Lake last year?
You have a good memory. Last year I just slid onto it at idle speed. This was different.
@@bobsudeyko4088 sorry that happened I would definitely push insurance to have it written off Good luck
