    Well done on your side. Sadly, things are not always in our control. You are as always the consummate professional. I love Florida weather, 2 hurricanes and a torrential down pour in just over a two week period. TowBoat US will pay for itself in a bad day on the water. Well done Capt. Ken

    Would love for you to do a video on Salvage vs tow. Even interview the owner of your TowBoatUS. Logistics and legal definitions so people don’t get screwed. I know TowboatUS wouldn’t do that, but others might. What was wrong with this boat? I might have missed. Obviously engines (fuel issue)….What ended poorly? Looks like it was a perfect tow

      The boat partially sunk at the dock and my other captain refloated it. As for what went wrong... What joolz said 😂

    Is it better to tow with the outboards down on the towed vessel?

    • @CaptKenO
      @CaptKenO  22 дні тому

      100%. If the outboards are up the boat swings all over the place

    Along @ 9;45 or so that's quite a thunder head building over the city... low -n- behold it started to dump a few mins later.
    I guess that's par for the course & now I know why Dr's always keep me waiting in the office? Because they backed up
    all the appointments while they were out salvaging their boats? peace Captain

    Apart from the weather, dunno how you consider that a poor ending, you did everything but wind the winch on the trailer, a lesser Captain would have just tied the to the dock and left...skills 🤙🤙

    so are you billing him $250/hr to sit there and wait for him? That's typically the hourly rate for tow services

    • @CaptKenO
      @CaptKenO  22 дні тому

      Nope. It was a covered service, so $0 out of pocket, and if we were billing him, it would be more than $250 plus his own fault for not being there when we agreed to meet

      @@CaptKenO I had a sea tow membership and they said if I didn't have the membership they would charge me like $200 an hour to tow me back to the dock and that starts from the time I call them to the time they get me back to the dock.

    15:15 lol that doctor really is clueless. You asked him to detach the yellow lines off the front and he just walked in circles looking lost like Joe Biden on stage, then goes and tries to hide in that side window.

      Since 99% of the jobs we do I am anyway, I'd rather that than have the customer claim something happened on the tow that didn't
