In this episode of Adventures with Purpose, we head to the Columbia River dividing Oregon and Washington to recover a research vessel boat sunk 25' underwater.
Crazy... RIGHT?
So how did the family boat sink?
A big storm came up suddenly 2 years earlier, huge waves, and bam, the boat was gone.
Never everybody on board survived... 😢
Now the GOOD NEWS!
Now that we've succeeded in pulling the sunken boat out of the river, floating it back to the boat ramp, the boat is finders keepers!
THAT RIGHT...
We get to keep the boat!
What's our next underwater treasure hunting adventure going to find?

Aye
So what did u guys do with the boat?
@@noobyfx t
I did something similar. My sons boat sank. The skies were cloudy with a sustained wind of about 4mph. I didn’t have a wet suit or other proper gear. But as dusk was setting in really quickly with a storm on the horizon, I used my big toe to hook the antenna and pull the boat up from the depths of our above ground pool. It was an RC Boat that was bought at Walmart.
🤣😂
The hero we need but don't deserve.
Well done scuba Steve!
Not all heros wear capes
😆😆
He was so excited, to tell story, about how boat sunk. That’s passion!
I just cant help it! I get excited by solving mysteries.
I am so into this, i drag the river all the time when i am fishing, i caught 15 anchors, 4 fishing rods, electric trolling motor, over 100lbs of fishing sinkers and other stuff but you guys have taken this recycling thing to a whole other level. Those motors look great i just bought a new 9.9, what size are those motors, they must be worth a fortune?
Kudos guys! I am a retired veteran who is into boats and hope to get to be your friends. God bless you all. Great job done.
Fourth video I’ve watched of yours in 2 days. Wife thinks I’m doing taxes down in the basement office. I just ran across your channel yesterday. I’m a new subscriber for sure, and love the vids! Can’t wait for the next
Lol I’ve watched about 15 of them in three /four days while resting in bed!! It’s my summer break!!!
Lol, same here. I'm on day 3 straight
Honey, the damn IRS makes it so complicated...
🤣
Your funny dude ..... now its 2 years later you still a fan??? I know I am .....
This is quite a mini adventure here! You don't see something like this every day! Salvaged from the bottom. Thanks for taking us with you!
Anyone in aw that they did all that and pulled it out with a caddy on 22s?
😂🤣
Same
That poor Escalade is so over-weight towing that boat.
GM LS Power!!!!!
@Patrick D doesnt mean it's meant for it....
LOL When you pulled that boat out with a SUV I was dyin!
Boat was heavy still had alot of sand and water in it at that point. We took it up the boat ramp to empty some more water.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose I'd have got a more appropriate vehicle to tow the trailer with, maybe a diesel powered 3/4 or 1 ton pickup.
@@dundonrl We work with what we have... but if you are offering one up, I can certainly get you a delivery address. 😉
@@dundonrl yeah while we're backseat drivers talking pointless hypotheticals they should have just got a military chinook to just hoist it home, personally i wouldn't even bother with a trailer.
Meh awd 6.2l it will do it doesn't mean it should but it will lol
It doesn't get any better than that. Impressive !
We used to make lift bags out of waterbed mattresses. They worked great!
I once pulled a 1981 Chevrolet Chevette out of a river. I saw it at a boat ramp and contacted the owner. He said it had been in there for two days. I could have it if I pulled it out and gave him the boat trailer it was attached to. It was easy to pull it out and I had it running the same day. I drove it home. I kept the ugly little guy three years and it never gave me a day of trouble. I did not even bother to change the manual transmission gear grease until the following weekend and it did fine. I pulled out the carpet, headliner, and threw out the back seat. I drove it like that for the rest of my ownership of it. When I tried trading it in I could not sign the document that asked if it was flooded. But I got my use of it.
The dude was using a chevy chevette to launch or retrieve a boat?!!! Hard to believe that it ended up where it did, lol.
Dave Micolichek he said he had it running the same day, AND THEN drove it home..... it’s a chevette, completely possible.....
This is the best show ever, especially the episode with you and your daughter and that suitcase. we have watched it several times and laughed every time, thank you.
I was in that gorge at the beginning of October. The friend I was visiting showed me a boat at Rooster Rock. The fact that it's this boat...Blows my mind.
That's awesome!
Makes ya wonder: how much stuff is still out there (and elsewhere) and just totally silted over?
You have no idea....
Thousands of aluminum boats on the bottoms of rivers.
oversoul Stuff down there from 3 - 4 hundred years ago. Like GOLD
lewis and clarke traveled that river!!!
Lots of stuff,most of which the owners hope are never found.
"Theres a million ways to do something this is the way we chose to do it...."
I like that answer. Shuts the other person up real quick😂 I'm definitely putting that one in my book. Great recovery and video!
I'm a construction electrician, the guys I work with say "There's the right way, the wrong way, and Smith's way.
And my favorite, "if i'd agreed with you, we'd both be wrong"!
I think what you and your partners are doing is a GOD sent task.
Seeing what you are doing, brings hope back to HUMANITY !!! God bless.
That’s amazing how he gave y’all the boat and all he asked in return was for y’all to give him a shout out so more people could see and spread the positivity
Scariest part of the entire recovery for me was watching you guys retrieving the boat at the launch cold, dark and wet with the wife’s Escalade! 😂
Poor wife fell in the river 3 minutes before we pulled it out with her Escalade. She's a trooper for sure putting up with my antics and being involved for most of them.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose boat that size needs a f450 or f550 that caddy's tranny wont hold up long doin that to it.
@@peterbiltxr379
They certainly need a bigger Truck lol
pm H NO kidding, boat too heavy for that; plus was it only 2wd?
Good job there wasn't a soccer game on or they'd have had to hook the Accord to the trailer :)
This was so much fun mr L, it's so sad someone died when it went down.
Hell of a job guys! That was AWESOME! Man, that was fun to watch!
Thanks Buddy... Most committed I've ever been to a video yet.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose It paid off, great video man, epic recovery!
I salvaged a 30' 1967 Colombia sailboat. At high tide I could swim through the hole in it's side. I patched it with plywood and pumped out the water so my friend "Go" John could tow it to the dry dock. Thanks John!
Fantastic Job Everyone👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Again for Helping to Save Our World 🌎 ♥️🙏🏼
That is perfect for what you do , and it was sunk in fresh water . The engines are both salvageable and the hull looks fine .
As you think. It would need more then an engine. It’s likely more then the boat brand new!!!
@@gibco25-offical56 well, the manual for my boat has instructions on how to recover the engine after sinking, if the engines held up and didnt corrode you might be able to salvage them
Loved the hard work and the boat actually out of the water. what a job. thanks.
Hey Jared:
That was enjoyable to watch. You should have that guy be part of AWP. And you can have extra expertise for recoveries.
U guys are so awesome! I hope u keep the boat! I think I'd come in handy!
I'm amazed at how quick the rivers are silting up! For a relatively medium flowing wide river there must be an enormous soil load. I wonder how much is agriculture or mining related?
The Columbia is a huge river, with extremely powerful currents.
Great video, fun and informative, well done!
YAMAHA V4 2-Stroke sounds so Good !!!
Class guys, fantastic efforts and thanks for the footage my friend's 🇬🇧❤️👍😀
You should really think about checking the Columbia river and the snake river on the Washington side. I used to live in the tri-cities and wouldn't be surprised at anything you would find. Love watching your videos!
I just found your channel and loved this!!! It's currently 8 am and gf doesn't wanna get up and I showed her this. She got up. 😂 You got my like and sub. Have a great Sunday. See you next time. 🧡
That's awesome... appreciate the support from both of you.
That's was an awesome story. Really enjoyed watching the process.
It was a fun, long project for sure!
This was seriously great to watch - I really loved it
I just saw ur live about Gary being in a horrible accident. I am so terribly sorry and I hope that he's makes a quick recovery. I'm sorry for the loss of Kelly too. There was no place to leave a comment, but I wanted to apologise to u for anyone that was being an asshole and questioning this to b a hoax of any kind. Some ppl r so disrespectful, it's disgusting. Who would make this up, ever?! I love ur channel ❤️ happy father's day to all of the amazing dad's out there!!!!! B safe everyone!
That was a clean little boat. Congrats
First time viewing this channel. Been living in Oregon since I was 12 years old, which has meant decades of outdoors experience hiking, hunting, wilderness packing, and of course lots of time involved with the countless lakes, ponds, rivers, small streams and a lot of offshore fishing for salmon, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and excellent catches while crabbing.
Prior to past and fairly recent injuries eliminating all of my recreational activities, I enjoyed looking for underwater treasures too. I once had a handful of favored spots for making annual hauls of fishing tackle that would be freed from big wads of monofilament and underwater snags that kept expensive trips to tackle stores minimized. I was wondering if these searches for boats buried in silt included applying salvage tags prior to bringing them to the surface and cleaning them up.
Seeing the vacuum used to clear away what seems like an extreme amount of sand and silt for the amount of time the boat was there has me thinking about the so-called "mailbox" technique created and mastered by the crew in Florida that recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in sunken treasure from the sunken Spanish galleon Atocha. Using engine power to displace the covering layer of fine silt with the large bore diameter and boat engine is supposedly a minutes long mission rather than hours of work with a smaller diameter vacuum hose. Anyhow, if anyone from the channel reads this I'm really glad you guys are doing what you do, glad to see it going well, and as I will continue to watch and follow I'll be sure and spread the word of your adventures and community service with plenty of other people.
O, three ilove the brand best neopreen dive suites on the planet👍👍👍
Jared and Team, you are amazing. I've been watching many of your vids. Thank you for what you do.
Recovering/solving missing persons. God bless. What I have seen in many vids is that the government employees don't seem to want to do their jobs. It's very frustrating to see as a tax payer. They have the best equipment and they don't seem to have a heart to do what they are paid to do. You and team are trying to help with your incredible service and humanitarian efforts. Many times government gets butt hurt because you and team know what you are doing and they are not efficient.
That’s my crawdad trap. Let me know where’s it’s at so I can come pick it up.
Imagine how much easier this would be with your latest lift bags.
That's insane how quick that boat was almost swallowed up by the bottom
Cool vid! Nice boat! That sign: "Do not call about submerged boat" seemed hilarious ;) Or did you guys put it up? :)
You'd think they'd have a river barge specifically designed to find and recover sunken boats like this.
That would make sense wouldn't it?
And that is the reason why they don't do it.
They recovery so many things under different circumstances it would mean owning more than one recovery watercraft. That would inhibit them as they go around the United States to perform searches and recoveries.
No idea why this was on my suggested videos, but awesome! Must be an amazing feeling seeing it come up out of the water!
Glad we were recommended to you! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the rest of our videos😁👍 Lots of fun and definitely feels rewarding for sure.
I'd be trying to save them engines the second they hit air. I'm a OMC certified boat mechanic and them engines dont come cheap.
Right on! I'm an automotive mechanic, and I've rebuilt a few outboards. I'd be flushing them with fresh water the SECOND they came out of the water!! Yeah, I'd be focused on the engines too...
@@scottmichael3745 unless these engines are 4 stroke, likely not the leaf plates have to be pulled. Turning engine over without pulling leaf plates pops the crankshaft seals resulting in having to pull power head. Once engine is exposed to air you have about 30 minutes to avoid serious rust by rinsing, drying and soaking in oil. I ran a marina and delt with a least 1 submerged engine a week and if I couldn't get to it immediately I left it submerged in our test tank til I could get to it.
I was wondering why they wouldn't have pulled the engines off immediately but I didn't realize they'd start rusting that fast, I'm guessing they wouldn't have been able to get them ashore and washed down that quickly.
@@barrylinkiewich9688 I was a serious scuba diver back in the late 70s to early 80s. I helped recover a outboard motor from 40 feet down with nothing more than a 15x15 foot fishing net and some large trash bags... I tied the net to the motor and then stuffed the trash bags into the net and partially inflated them with air from my tank. As soon as the motor was essentially weightless I towed it to the surface. Took me longer to find the motor than it took to raise it. We left it submerged in the lake water while we towed it back to the landing with the boat. The owner had called the outboard repair shop the day before and they met us at the landing with their salvage kit... it was kept wet until it was on the workbench. It was running a few days later and back on the stern of the boat the following week.
@@biga87718 One thing that I can tell you for 100% certain is that those are 4 stroke outboards NOT 2 stroke!
Lol that floating boat paper and this guy driving this Escalade xD
So, I bet more boats are waiting to be discovered in that general area. Sounds like an extra dangerous stretch of the river.
Salvage work is hard. Hats off to you guys for getting this done.
Very nice awesome work guys...be safe and careful...deep breaths and drink plenty of water.. and eat plus rest..
Best one yet!
Thats a nice boat.. Good $. Here in Alaska metallic boats are the only way to go!
Legend is that honda motor started
Hope they filmed it! Would make for a nice addition to this amazing story! I would watch it!!!
Hondas spin they start.
Honda outboards are junk...
Great video, keep up the good work.
Thanks for keeping our gorge pollution free!
Thanks for your support!😁👍
This would make a great show on TV.
Crazy how many times I passed over that boat and never realized there was a sunken boat there
LMAO SAM You WATCHED THIS TOO, it’s at Colombia river
Ok, now let’s recover the titanic. I’d be glad to help
@M M is right. It's sad but true.
M M dang, i didn’t know that. Anyways, i didn’t think it’ll be possible. It weight tons, and there’s no equipment able to pull that out. Even if there was equipment, it’ll be very expensive and hard to relocate.
They floated the COSTA CONCORDIA, and I bet they could float the Titanic (fore and aft) if they really wanted to. But why? Best leave her where she lays. She's a graveyard, not to be disturbed.
oversoul Interesting. That’s honestly impressive that us humans managed to do such thing. My comment was mainly sarcasm because I never thought it would be possible for a ship as big to ever be recovered, as it’ll be waste of time, money, and resources. However, It would’ve been nice if the titanic could’ve been preserved and put into museum or something. Sad it will just rust and corrode away.
@@xorxpert but shes also probably created essentially a reef so while it would be cool for her to be brought up, it also would be taking the home of a lot of marine life.
❤ awesome work 😊
This video was definitely worth the price of admission! Thanks for posting!
Haha thanks for your support!😂😁
That's a nice looking boat, considering its time under water.
You wasted so much time when you could have just hired an illusionist to levitate it for a piece of the action. No?
Very interesting video!
It didn't look like the water temperature was a problem for you?
They were wearing dry suits to help with the water temperature. The Columbia is pretty cold.
You did a great job. It's not so much fun when it's your own boat. I know from experience
Way to go guys awesome video
Between your channel and Diesel Brothers. Definitely the best content on UA-cam!!!
Wow, thanks!
Great Mate, loved the video, loved how you guy's did it and special loved your guy's attitude!!!
That Escalade putting in work 😂
Dragging the skegs up the landing didn't help.
Nice work - tell underdog he has new sub
glad you found it and able to get it.
This is I think the best find every .
Great video guys....question; what was your cost to recover including labor time? I know it would still be worth it but just curious.
A little over $10k out of pocket... All labor was donated
Well done gentlenmen. Not the best of visibility! Two questions, were there no fish hanging around and what are you filming with?
Is that an underwater vacuum lol that's thee most satisfying thing ive ever seen
Guys, I was thinking that you might keep the boat. It will be nice that Adventure with Purpose keep the boat.
I remember hearing about this sinking on the news.
Don't bother with the R-22 helicopter. They're pretty much worthless even when they're new.
Yep..thanks for sharing..be safe
That is awesome Jerred.
Wow great job. I just watched a documentary about the Martin family that disappeared and the vehicle is believed to be in the Columbia River gourge in Oregon. Would be cool if you found it
We've been on the hunt for it. Maybe someday we can help solve that cold case.
Thanks youtube for putting this beauty of a video in my suggested. What a well produced and really interesting bit of content. Loved it.
You guys can find anything you all found trucks and cars and tractors and boats and guns that is awesome
Bad news, they found the wrong boat, the one they were looking for is on my trailer lol.
Why use suction when a heavy duty pump jet would lift the sand in the water, then just let the current carry it away?
With a boat this large we needed to control where the sand ended up. The suction discharge was about 10 feet down river and that was barely enough.
Incomprehensible that those professionals cannot find it and you can. A wonderful job what you have done! I also think to myself that it is better to make such a boat unsinkable, certainly in an area where such storms occur. Then all persons on board could have been saved. Nice boat by the way, if I had the money ... but as far as I know the Netherlands is the most taxed country there is. I am only unemployed but no longer able to do the job as I did (all-round truck driver - multi-purpose) except that you need your driver's license, you also had to get a driver's license. In the meantime, the government has come up with something new that we need a code 95, for every type of truck you have to have a separate diploma and that I simply no longer have to pay and then they find it strange that there is a driver shortage? Nobody can afford it.
that took a turn...
I think this was the first video of y’all that I have seen. Through the year or so of binge watching I think I am caught up now. Keep up the good work! You guys are awesome
God Bless you guys all. 🙏🙏
Good working and being a professional when it come to recovery for family’s 🙏🏾 I really like to 🚣 awesome video editing continue to stay safe.
The boat lives again....great job 👍
I see this was October 2019 ... ANY update on what happened with the boat at this point?
Nobody cares for the boat. With over 2 million hits, this video has already earned it's creators over $300,000.
@@vipahman more like 2k
How did I immediately know that was the Columbia River 😂
Oh boy. He called the boat a 'puppy.'
Looks a little murky buy there is quite a bit of light and it’s even cloudy, how deep was it? I’m guessing 50’ to 75’.
Great Stuff....That's a lot of sand movement in the river and a lot for you guys to move to get the boat up. Congrats well done. I look forward to the next episode.
did you find the shotguns that were being used
I was wondering the same thing
That day the mission was a survey, not harassment. They probably do not take weapons without a mission requiring them
Yeah covered in 10+ feet of sand.
There was a shotgun on board and it was stored in a clip against the gunnel on the bow. When the boat rolled over the first time in the waves all of that was lost and it’s under the sand.
It was amazing to watch the videos of this boat being recovered!
Thank you
@@AdventuresWithPurpose I love your dedication, drive and most of all your loyalty
Brilliant video, guys. Nicely done.
Thank you!😁
Good effin vid!! Like even more the edditing
While i would have been far less patient and probably cracked the hull lifting instead of evaluating it.. i will tell you what they did right. The gorge winds are no effing joke. You must oblige.
he ready answer my question lol
