Whenever you think your having a bad day. Just look at the Chit show. It can always be worse.
It was a pleasure meeting you today Alfred. I'm the owner's buddy (emotional support lol) . Thanks for helping him out.
Are you the guy talking about committing insurance fraud in the background?
Shout out the company that caused this so everyone avoids them like the plague.
Let me say this first of all for this guy to come out with two herniated discs is incredible--the pain from that type of back problem is only understood by those of us who have suffered from them. Secondly, he knows his business and does an excellent job in a timely manner, if not those engines could have had worse issues. Props to everybody involved, Alfred, SeaTow, and Danny--wish you all the best life has to offer! Some stand up people there rarely seen these days.
My mom has 5 she works everyday
i had 2, the pain was unreal. i was near suicide when, in desperation, i went to a Chinese acupuncturist. it took time, but she fixed it.
Thank you for showing this. My husband (former Coast Guard , Engineman, Viet Nam era) enjoys you and the show. He talks about how Florida should honor you in some way. The way you show respect for Veterans touches my heart. Keep up the great work, and the very best on working on the outboards. LIBERTAD PARA CUBA
"PROPS" to Sea Tow!! Absolutely amazing that they were able to re-float a really wet Grady in less than an hour! The only thing more amazing than that was what Danny did! He had some really good experience with the Verado restoration, but he made it look almost TOO easy! Forget about college - send your kids to specialty mechanic school! Best decision Danny ever made. You and he made a great team. Glad he had you for the heavy lifting.....oh to be 6'5", 225, and ripped! No matter what, the insurance companies should be on the hook for twin 300's at the very least. And Sea Tow or Tow Boat US membership is the best $200+/- every boater will ever spend - even if they never need their services. Great video. Enough said.
Nnnnnnnn b b V
@@hunterberry448 hunh????
I remember when you lost the Verado. I was impressed by how you recovered it from the sea floor. This was very impressive. Kudos to the guys from Sea Tow. And what you and Danny did for that guy was awesome, you guys are rock stars. Thank 3for letting all see how they recover sunken boats, that was amazing. The transport driver knew better than to put a boat in the water without a plug.
Alfred,
Danny is a Rockstar for showing up when he’s down in his back!
What a great dude!
You’re awesome for helping that new boat owner out as well.
Blessings from Oklahoma
"Now you can bounce these 150s up to 300s", that one dude looking at the bright side 😂
Thanks for taking the time in the rain to bring us this content. It's informative and educational. It also is a solid example of why you advise paying for Sea Tow or Boat USA. May you and your family have a safe and enjoyable new year.
Thanks David
Alfred you're a stand-up man to help this guy out that's what I love about you you're good people. By the way great footage this is why you are the king . Thank you brotha 🇺🇸👍
once again Danny saves the day. I don't remember seeing Danny and his wonderful family at your party. If they mi8ssed it , I hope you do a nice BBQ or something . Bad back and all. I want to see Danny and his family , they are so cool ! Keep up the Chit Show , thank you Alfred a friend in Montana
They were there
I think the googan who delivered it needs to show up.
Hey Alfred, I see you occasionally have problems with glare later in the day. Get a polarizing filter for your camera; you can rotate the filter and it will cut most of the glare. It also allows you to see down into the water. You'll be amazed! Thank you for your entertaining (and instructional-via-negative-example) content!
Kudos to Alfred and Danny - YOU DAH MEN!!!! Great video and job of getting that Grady White running again. Danny, hope your back heals up fast - been down that road myself and it sux! 👍👍
Chit Show everywhere! Glad you could help a boater out. Not all bad things happen in front of the camera!
Your motto should be, "Just because it's a bad day doesn't mean we can't make it worse."
Pure brilliance!
Alfred your a outstanding man we I really appreciate your dedication too the boating seen.
Scene
Kudos to the Humanitarian of the Year, Alfred Montaner. Getting Danny out to service those engines was the best thing for those Yamaha's. Displacing that water before corrosion set in, saved Hours of service work.
SeaTow was as efficient a professional group any of us could hope for. Bad situation was prevented from being a huge disaster for the new owners.
They need to say Hi to the camera once she is sea worthy again.
One of my buddies is a rock star with trailering, launching and loading. One of those guys where you want to help but he's so good you're just getting in his way. He had a carabiner on the boat key that the plug went on whenever it was out of the boat. Made it hard to forget it...
Smart man. Like the key rack hanging right inside your front door at your house. Had to introduce that to my father in law that was always losing his keys. Best couple of bucks you can spend.
You did a good job making this boat owner laugh.
I know on newer Jet skis even if you forget to have drain plugs installed your vessel will not fill with water they put 1 way check valves on the drain holes. They should do that on boats
This is the sign of not just an awesome You tuber but a real life gent. God bless you man.👍🙏👍
The world needs more Alfred's and Danny's!
That is one of the reason that Danny is my mechanic, not only a great and knowledges professional but also a good person, I personally highly recommend him.
Alfred you and David are good men for helping people like that. God Bless you guys.
It’s Danny I believe but yes they are awesome.
My favorite time of the day. Chit Show Time.
It happened to me, and I was fortunate to notice before I left the ramp and was able to pull it back up on the trailer. Horrible feeling to step into your boat and feel the water ankle deep and watch it rise even more. Hope he doesnt have too much damage.
Any serious boat owner who says they’ve never forgotten the plug is not telling the truth. We’ve all done it. I did it with my first boat, a used 1969 tri hull, in 1976. Got it in quick. Then I spent 30 years as a boat rep. Had like 25 different demo boats over the years. Never forgot the plug again.
When I was a kid my dad had a older wooden boat that would leak but not to bad and to drain it he would take the plug out when we were moving and would put it back in before we stoped
True, my dad did it once and literally jumped in the water and screwed it in underwater that bulge pump certainly earbed it's keep that day@@larrycarr6545
Alfred, thanks for showing this. I’ve seen boats go under up here in Annapolis , Md and down there in Miami
This was an awesome recovery.
🤜🏾🤛🏼
That boat recovery was great! Thanks
25 years ago we pulled up to Tabor lake just out of Prince George BC Canada. We saw fish jumping across the lake. Put the boat in the water, Parked the motor home and unloaded the KLR650 where I went into town to get worms. Come back to the wife saying you sunk your boat. 2 guys came over and have it on their trailer. It was sitting on the bottom. Once all the water was out we re-floated it back in the lake. Wife says why aren't you mad. I says I will be out fishing in under an hour. I pulled the plugs out. Turn it over a few times. Poured a bit of oil in the cylinders. Turned over a few revs. Repeated and then dried the plugs. Then I fired it up and went fishing. It was an 85hp 2 stroke. Wife was shocked when I came back with 3 fish. Camp host came by to congratulate. That would be a different outcome with 4 stroke though. I never forgot a plug after that.
Alfred, You and Danny did an amazing job. Kudos to both of you and Sea Tow
Thanks Neal
This sort of thing happens all the time at marinas all around the world. The best thing you can do is create a checklist, get it laminated and keep it onboard. Run through it. Fuel, Oil, Batteries, Hydraulics, Prop Check, Life Jackets, Fresh Water, Drain Plug, Anchor, Anchor rope tied off and in good condition, Bumpers, Bumper Ropes, Cushions, Bilge Pump, Radio/Communication, GPS/Sonar, Radar, Cover/Top, etc... It takes all of a minute or two to do a double check. This type of thing can happen to anyone.
Refreshing to see the way you always reassured the owner.
Post the name of the transport company so the rest of us don't make same same mistake of using them.
Absolutely brother👍
Don't mean they all gonna do this and shit happens
I think it's safe to say that that particular guy is no longer with the company. Unless y'all Floridians do employment real different down there. In Ohio, that's what we call a "your services are no longer required here" offense.
Be nice to know they don't want to make good on their mistake they don't belong in business I don't care if they fired the guy or not
@@Spike-sk7ql I call that an 'RGE'. Also known as a Resume Generating Event. Best of luck at his next employer.
We used to have this old 14' fishing boat that's was a little leaky... we kept a bailing can handy... we used to pull the plug while under way on a plane to drain out the boat.
Alfred YOU DA MAN! Great peeps like you and Danny make this world such a better place! I believe in Karma and you will be rewarded!
Well that sucks eggs! Awesome work to everyone involved with the recovery
Those Sea Tow guys are always amazing to watch, They know their business. That transporter is gonna have a mess on his hands.
That was very nice of you and Danny to help this owner out, well done gentleman.
Alfred and Danny. If I’m ever in a fox hole. I want you two Guys with me. This accident went from being a disaster to a Fun Bar room story. You Guys Stepped up
Great comment! Due to Sea tow, Alfred and Danny, hopefully nothing but a great anecdotal story in time. Could have been much worse but for great people like those. I know sea tow (and maybe Danny) got paid but they are people who are super contentious, care about their work and do it well. Extremely valuable to find these days. Alfred is just a gem, period. End of story. Rock on! From a boat owner in upstate SC.
Wow!! Talk about a couple of stand up guys. God bless Danny and yourself !!
Alfred, you guys touched on the subject of insurance and that made me think of liability. To my way of seeing it, if that was a brand-new boat, then surely the boat-builders or the transport company were responsible to ensure the plug was in before the boat left the factory, and the cost of the recovery and refurbishment should be part of the after-sales services. If the new owner had not received appropriate new-owner training, then he was entitled to total replacement of new for old of everything that was damaged by the salt-water unless he had arranged for the transport himself. Alfred, you implied that you might be prepared to help restore the motors in the same way you did for the sunk Verado, but on this occasion, whilst you would be very generous, such outside assistance might render the guarantees and warrantees void unless you are authorized by the component manufacturers to do such work. Thanks as always for such interesting videos. ---- Obviously, I wrote this post before seeing the end of the video and I had not realized that you and Danny actually did help. I hope I did not offend you both?
Boat plugs are to drain the boat after every use. It’s responsibility of the boat user to ensure the plug are in and secured properly.
It’s one of those things that need to be done each and every time you launch a boat.
Some states require a boat in transport on a trailer to have the plugged pulled so the water can drain before it goes to a new body of water.
If it fact it was a brand new boat, and he had it delivered to a dock and put in the water to dock at his private slip or something. He should have been there when it was launched and went over everything to ensure it was good before accepting delivery.
And insurance company is going to look at it like it’s not the responsibility of a dealer or manufacture once delivery is accepted.
Just like buying a new car. You are “trusting” that it was built right, and when they go through the delivery process, they don’t sit there and show you every little feature it does, and what to check, and how to check tires and oil, and how to ensure the oil plug is tight. Before you drive off the lot, someone should go through it themselves and check with their own eyes and bring any issues up with the dealer before it’s taken off the lot.
Once it leaves the lot, it’s no longer their responsibility, you return an hour later because oil leaked out and the engine blew. You don’t get a new car, you get your new car fixed under warranty.
Simple fact is once it’s sold, anyone can do anything to it and blame the dealer or manufacture. Maybe they ensured they were there and tight. But someone can easily get it home, undo the plugs, or put it in the water, undo the plugs and let it sink to get insurance money or something else.
Unless something can be attributed to a manufacture DEFECT, there is absolutely no claim one can make on something they should have checked themselves.
That’s why when you buy something that has a manual, you are supposed to read it. It covers everything under the sun, including how to install the plugs. So first thing a dealer is going to ask, did you check the plugs like it says in the manual? It’s the first rule of boating before you put it in the water, check and double check the plugs. And check them regularly to make sure they are not rotten and in good working order. They are a 10.00-30.00 part that can cost tens of thousands of forgotten.
Looks like the best thing you can do is getting those engines running right away. Great job guys.
Just found your channel and love it! Watching from Rio Rancho New Mexico.
I feel the pain for whoever this boat belong to. I left the drain plub out of my boat only one time. Luckily I was only about 20 yards from the dock when I realized it. I guarantee you will never let it happen again!
Is the yellow sausage a hazmat containing gizmo?
Wonder how well that works when they're pumping the water outside of it 🤔🫣
Putting the pollution boom out after the boat has been pumped and refloated is like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted
I was thinking the same thing. They was like holy shit, we forgot and this is being recorded. Hope the epa doesn't see this
We have seen completely submerged cars & trucks and no one ever put out Booms!!! 💰💰💰
“At least you’re a good sport about it” my grandfather used to say “if you don’t laugh you can only cry” 100% what this mans mentality was after sinking the boat on the first launch
get in water put plug in an pump ta water out bam
What up In the Chit Show world
What a "Chit Chow" this would be on a busy day 😂😂
Danny doesn’t want to give away all of his secrets.
BOAT. "Break Out Another Thousand". Or two, or three, or many MANY MORE! lol.
good story! cool owner. Great work by all (except delivery lol). thanks Alfred 😁
Alfred. Put the boat in a warehouse full of rice, it'll dry out in 6 hrs. Lol.. awesome video as always...."Wait For Ittttt?"
if i ever need a boat mechanic in south florida, i know how to call. Danny is a super hero.
I hope the company that delivered and sank this boat pays for a new boat. I would be so pissed. That guy is handling it a lot better than I would.
Danny Is The MAN.
I own 2002 Chaparral 320 Sig. if ever in Miami and I need something, best believe I'm Calling K&J. Hopefully Danny to the rescue again. thankd for all your content you post keep up the good work.
My next question, who put the boat in the water. I always kept my plug in the cup holder on the console so I’d see it when I started the engine. Realized once 15 miles out that I screwed up. Tied a life jacket to to anchor line & drove off to drain the hull. Able to get the plug back in. Saved the day. Remember Chit Happens. Thanks Alfred
I’m in Anchorage Alaska and I looked on google maps to see where black point marina is and I found the chit show on google 😅😂😮
Check it out…. Enter black point marina n it shows your spot!!😂
Dude. Chit happens. Nice of you to get him help on the motors. See you at the Ramp
I like how that guy's buddy is on camera talking about committing insurance fraud
Thankfully I have a wife who spent 40 years at the ramp with me constantly saying "hey dummy did you put the drain plug in".
So sad....beautiful boat !!!.
As expensive as those Grady Whites are, you would think the manufacturers would design a automatic plug system or maybe some kind of warning light on the dash that the plug is not installed.
Alfred. You're a good man. Love your work. especially love the Tug boat video. That was badass. Those captains. What they do makes one butt hole pucker. 😮😂
Alfred and Danny thanks for helping people in desperate need I'm smashing my like botton Texas style yahoooooooooo katakaboooooooooooooooom
I’m wondering if there is really much damage to both engines. Port didn’t look like it went under and starboard didn’t go deep.
I had a laminated card hanging in my truck. PLUG. But I am old!
Very good! When you help others you are blessed too!!!!
Alfred, you should ask Sea Tow or TowBoat US on the charges for this type of recovery…whether member or non member. I know once the company declares the operation a Salvage Operation… this is no longer directly covered as a member. Salvage operations are generally premium time and equipment charges… whether the pumps are run, whether air bags deployed, does he have to go under water to deploy something, how many recovery boats….this kind of dictates whether the operation is a salvage. Since this was at the dock, not sure if it was a salvage and recovery.
Ironically the ad before this video was advertising boat transport 😮😅
This is why I am a gold member with Seatow and a subscriber to the chit show😅
Many things must be considered.
Did water get into the fuel tank? Will the fuel tank have to be drained, clean out flushed, and the sea water contaminated fuel properly disposed of?
Were the engine heads submerged?
Salt water has entered the electric wiring and terminal connections. I would want all of the wiring replaced because it definitely will become a problem later if not replaced now.
Man I wish I had a few friends like you. Real stand up guy don't find that around anymore. Just glad your not in clearwater to film all my mistakes hahaha
Danny your best bro we see. U fix it again
Grady reputation as unsinkable....BUSTED
Bro..!! Go Home Bro..
Luv u Bro.. Be Safe
No weather Bro..
I worry everytime.
But Thk u,ur vids,got me thru
2019...
I owe u Bro..
Great show meister!! Keep 'em coming! ❤
Danny your amazing.
You are a gentleman... and a scholar!
What's the reason for using the bags ? Why nit just put a plug in and pump the water out. Especially with the tide going out.
Agreed, I'm guessing to avoid damage to the hull, especially with the tide going out?
I would have plugged, pumped and waited for the next tide to float it back up instead of dragging it backwards with the bow on dry land. Oh wait, I have towboat insurance. Hope the electrical components aren't a neverending nightmare after the saltwater bath. Def feel awful for the owner, fingers crossed he got his bad luck out of the way and he'll have many years of trouble free boating ahead in his new to him Grady 🤞🏼
A $5 dollar brass plug sure can make a difference!!
That’s a nice Grady White!
Danny need chiropractic... Send him my way!
I know Danny will get those motor’s running in no time flat!!! he is a mechanic’s mechanic!!
I am angry at the Chit Show!! I have been watching them without remorse- IT IS SO ENTERTAINING!
Keep it up!
Hell that water pump there using blowing oil out exhaust needs complete rebuild rings are toast
The guy talking about his deposition, for everyone on UA-cam to hear.😂. I hope it doesn't come back to bite him in the ass.
K.J. Danny is top notch, first class all the way!
Pumping the bilge over the dock really defeats the oil boom. The solution to pollution is dilution!
Lol
Impressive work from those guys. I can’t believe Danny came out in the rain with two herniated disks. That’s commitment. But I believe once the salt water got in there the boat will not be the same again. Is like cancer.
I don’t have telegram
The most basic part of a boat but the most vital.
Wait for it, who knew Fred takes you down man..
awesome great job start to finish
I did that once. It was a welded aluminum jet river boat, so its normal to have some water in it. Just pulled her back out, and told everyone at the ramp I was just flushing her out.
Similar thing happened to my dad’s boat except the ENTIRE boat sunk. He sued the guy who did maintenance and forgot the plug.
Alfred, how about a close-up shot from the docks over to where you film from on the other side so we can see what your seating arrangements are there.
That's what I was telling myself.
Crazy!!! Another classic video.
