    Wow, that boat did not want to upright, nice job Capt.

      It kinda surprised me being as stubborn as it was at first. I probably could have been a little closer, and the prop wash would have been a little more help.

    So the owner was a SeaTow member, I think I heard in the video. How does TowBoatUS get paid? Salvage rights? Negotiated fee?

      It doesn't mater who they're a member with, that usually just means they get the first call; Which they did.. I just heard it from a third party that there was a capsized vessel, and while I was with the vessel, and possibly preventing it from drifting on the beach, which entitles me to some reward, he was with the owner, and could have had a salvage contract already signed.. I used to work with the owner while he was a Towboat captain, so in a circumstance like that it was just easier to split the salvage reward (which is just a per foot fee, and maybe some tow time to an extended destination).

    One of the coolest things I have seen. I was in the Coast Guard for 5 years, and never saw a retreive like that!

    Do you remove the drain plugs before righting the boat, and then allow the water to drain while pulling it fast?

    • @CaptainRetriever
      @CaptainRetriever  Рік тому +3

      Typically no, we see if the boats bilge works, and if not throw a pump in it.

    Nice job. How long did it actually take to right the boat?

    • @CaptainRetriever
      @CaptainRetriever  9 місяців тому +1

      I can usually do it in 5 minutes, maybe a little longer to run some of the water out & put pumps on board.. 15-30 total..

    I don't own a boat. But was curious, do they have insurance like AAA to cover tows and recoveries like this?

    • @CaptainRetriever
      @CaptainRetriever  Рік тому +4

      This goes under your hull insurance, boat is likely totaled, so in addition to boat damage it also covers the recovery services required..

    I have heard of smaller vessels literally on the bottom and not so shallow. Owner was a good diver, removed bungs and a large police boat just slowly towed it up and it drained via bungs and was all good.

      Everything is repairable.. As long as it didn't bend a rod (because it went down running), you should be able to pickle it, and fire it right back up..

    • @DanielCarrazana
      @DanielCarrazana Рік тому +4

      The cost/time of repairs and potential future issues is not an option for the insurance company and owners time of course. They will cut him a check for the agreed upon value and move on...
      Now there may be some guy in Miami FL who buys the boat at an auction and spend 1 year redoing it to then sell it on Facebook as a clean Florida title. Then the next unexperienced new owner wonders why he has had so many issues regrets buying s used boat in Miami and gets out of boating forever.

      @@DanielCarrazana In my experience they try to get out of totaling boats unless they think it's more beneficial to them. It's all case by case, personally I kept my boat, and just rewired everything, ran for another 5 years without issue till we re-powered..

      It just has a greenish hue because the silt in from wave action, and some of the outgoing tide water from the inlet
