Aftermath Hurricane Milton HUGE Storm Surge | Salvage Boats | Harbor Yacht Tours

[@highland-scott902]

I believe Fortuna is a Striker 44' they are made of aluminum. They are tough and well-built yachts. SEAFOOD from Caddy Shack was a Striker.

[@LiberaceProtege]

Superb video. Really well done Bryan. Your report is better than those from the major networks actually. Sharing this to my Facebook page.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Wow, thanks I appreciate it.

[@cengel1951]

So SAD!! WOW..that was tremendous wind!!! 😯

[@IronLady-ej3dp]

This proves the point that you are not safe in boatyards and marinas. If you prepare properly you can save your boat. I have survived numerous Florida hurricanes on my boat(Charley and Bob) and behind my house tending to her( she weighs 15 tons). She is still unscathed, but it is due to me being there 100% of the time to adjust lines , cross tie anchors etc. Of course not everyone has a relatively safe place to keep their boat- but if you don’t , she needs to be moved. Just a matter of time before all my best efforts fail- so moving boat to Maine before next season!!

[@HarborYachtTours]

Playing the numbers game you should be in the clear. What’s the chance of us getting hit with another massive storm? lol

[@scottreich1207]

We had 9ish feet of surge in NJ during Sandy. If we had left our boats at the yard, they'd be gone. Being present to adjust lines and anchors is the only reason we still have them. Even our worst case plan (driving our largest aground in a shallow marsh and using multiple anchors) would have been enough to total the her...and our insurance won't cover any damage the boat causes to someone else's property. Glad to hear yours is ok.

I've seen a review of 'Lady G.', and 'Fortuna'. Both are nice boats. It's sad to see so much damage, but with the 'tidal surges' it could've been so much worse. Thanks for the walk around.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Cool yes I did a review on lady G. Do you remember where you aw the review on Fortuna

[@willashley6366]

the Fortuna is a mid 70's Striker

[@mikeboggs5987]

My dad owned a Stryker. At first glance I thought it was his old boat!

[@Haladmer]

Lady G is the second video on your channel currently (uploaded ~8mos ago).

[@heaven-is-real]

I see a lot of work to clean all that up wow daunting gotta get a crane in there looks like

[@lear60man]

I have a 45ft boat that was at PGI marina during Ian. By pure luck, it was facing directly into the wind and no damage. The other boats on the hard fell over like dominoes.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Yes Milton could carry Ian’s jock strap.

[@carbidegrd1]

I need the windshield from that 396 Carver!!!

[@wjatube]

How did that paint booth stay intact? Amazing video. Thx.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Good question!

[@simpleman2]

Wow

[@ThomasKuhar]

How do people track these salvage boats coming to market?

[@HarborYachtTours]

Good Question

[@rocket36]

Usually by title search, now most of these boats are stripped and recycled.

[@johnchance1959]

Laishley Park floating docks show no damage, where is the marina you keep referring to as "gone". Other than along the far seawall where boats were not on floating docks, where are the boats you are showing with significant damage?

[@johnchance1959]

i figured out the location of the other marina. It is just a little east of the city marina. I took a boat there twenty years ago, never started the work, so I simply took it home. But I recognized the building and the address on the sign confirmed.

[@HarborYachtTours]

The floating docks aren’t as bad as the stationary docks but they are damaged bad as well.

[@rogerroy911]

i know the owner of that Hat. washed up on the dock,

[@pomgrant7680]

I'm looking for a good salvaged 40ft plus give me a jingle

[@sscheyer]

My buddy has a hatteras (similar to this one) that needs to be floated and moved. Message if interested. Located in longboat key.

[@MrSavi445]

Where would you look to find one for sale?

[@HarborYachtTours]

Online auctions

[@simedogz]

would it make more sense to just moor those big boats in the bay during hurricanes?

[@HarborYachtTours]

The problem is the anchors aren’t going to stick, but yes, if you can get them into a small bay tide off to the mangroves, you’ll be a lot safer

[@jrcat2258]

Best place to buy those salvage boats?

[@HarborYachtTours]

Online auctions I suppose

[@pdlegend6829]

where do all these boats that cant be saved go? What happens with them?

[@lear60man]

After Ian, all the local boats here went to a cow pasture by Burnt Sore Marina. There was a guard in a trailer posted keeping watch. I dont pass there much so dont know what their fate is/was.

[@jsd354]

Boat Heaven?

[@mwrcrft]

Lady G is Lindsey Graham's nick name.. could be his boat

[@HarborYachtTours]

It’s not but you get an A for effort

[@SpaceRanger187]

5k for all of them ;)

[@CollegemomLynn]

So sad....

[@klangmari]

Boat owners in hurricane areas should lift their boats off to land and park it sideways and secured with cables across the boat like that house in Tampa! At least it cant move that much and damage limited!

[@rski1036]

You OBVIOUSLY have no clue.

[@rski1036]

WARNING. Many titles will be marked, SALVAGE and that destroys the value.

[@jjjohny_a5965]

there should be insurance just and only for f.l so the rest of country dosent have to pay for it..most those yatch could have been moved to safe waters

[@rpaasse6453]

How social of you.

[@LiberaceProtege]

​@@rpaasse6453he's right.

[@LiberaceProtege]

Exactly.

[@jjjohny_a5965]

most these people could moved them@@rpaasse6453

[@davidreynolds2943]

Really, where? All marinas were full ,if a marina in safe WATERS were full, then all the marinas emptied out to go to SAFE waters, wouldn't the safe waters marina , then what??? Cast your vote for Kamala, obviously your a deep thinker

[@jsd354]

What’s crazy is the positioning of that Hatteras prior to the incoming storm. The owner should have the bow face into the wind. I see boats with the stern nosed into the wind and therefore into the incoming water. Dumb.

[@rski1036]

As hurricane's approach & pass, wind changes from different directions.
