EXPLORING AN ABANDONED BOAT | Everything Left Behind

[@cwbenton]

I remember the Enchantress well. Saw her many times during the World’s Fair and at UT games in the 80’s. She was always an interesting boat. Sorry to see how she ended up.

[@calvinsmock302]

I've always loved exploring abandoned things like this, it's quite intriguing to me. Great find!

[@acdcnut2011]

Thanks!

[@walterdavis4808]

Entrantris is a cool old boat . Probably a very thick hull worth saving . But the cost of engines and drives puts a refit over most people's budget . Thanks for taking us along . Just found you as a suggested video

[@andrewscotti1136]

what a shame. i would love to restore that old girl. wish i were closer. hope someone saves and brings back to its former glory

[@tunetimeracing]

I like this one chet.

[@acdcnut2011]

Thanks bro! This was a fun one to make.

[@K.J.Ray421]

Just found a CG report. The boat sank at it's moorings in on Oct. 9th 2018 when the water tank burst while filling overnight and filled the rest of the boat, which caused it to sink. The owner then stated he was going to give it away for personal use. Also on the CG page, they list a bunch of mechanical issues during the last inspection. That thing was falling apart for years before it went out of service.

[@alan6832]

As usual, engines and engine control cables are the main things preventing salvage, not pumping out water. Also, over time, add wood rot and obtaining legal ownership. Even if the owner was willing to give it away at the time, there is no reason to think the owner or heirs can be found and convinced to cooperate now. And governments want to see these boats in the landfill, not salvaged, partly influenced by the new boat lobby, so they aren't helpful either, though TN is not the worst in that regard. Usually the cheapest way to get such boats going again is to mount outboards, but remote control remains difficult, as well as legals being the biggest barrier in most states. Certainly in FL, legal salvage is rarely worthwhile.

I've explored abandoned houses, but never one that floats... thanks ✌️😎👍❤️

[@acdcnut2011]

No problem 👍 This was a fun one to make!

[@brianjoachim8442]

Hi I like your Channel my friend was watching it with me he thinks you're cute that's making this channel the guy that's talking in this channel I hope you make more like this thanks

[@faustlove]

That truly is an amazing find!! You could probably salvage the instrument panel but that (first) boat is just beyond repair. I just found your channel. It's fascinating!! I was at that world's fair with my family. We were there for 10 days and we still didn't see everything.

[@tablature6121]

Another great find. Thanks for sharing.

[@acdcnut2011]

Thanks for watching!

[@lilyguthrie2056]

This is awesome!

[@acdcnut2011]

Thanks Lily!

[@jwfinley7808]

That is a shame! That could of been one hell of a house boat!

[@tenncutt]

Thats my boat!

[@acdcnut2011]

Really o.O?

[@tonyrhoton6613]

Its Joe boat now he loves it

[@cindyreid6404]

You better go take care of it before the city charges you for removal 😂😂😂😂😂

[@t4lovers688]

I wish I had a boat like that what a boat

[@tonyrhoton6613]

@@t4lovers688 4 sure

[@FrankStein1]

Screwing with a brown recluse spider... " they don't look too friendly " ... just brilliant.! No-no . It loves people just reach out and pet it.

[@jwfinley7808]

Kiss it!😂

[@glennsrailroading]

Just wondering where the RR went? What line is it?

[@brandimyhr1873]

Cool!

[@acdcnut2011]

Thanks :D

[@ralphchristian9273]

Location?

[@robertthompson9455]

The house boat would cost probably 80 to 100 thousand to rstore, then it would be worth maybe 20 to 30 thousand

[@scottapel5798]

About 150000.00 dollars later you would have a partially restored yacht

[@joshualewis1993KY]

Are they still there today?

[@jcc777]

Had a shower at one time now it just has a big old tub

[@marcobainsr1353]

I see potential is it for sale I'll take and restore it

[@metelgodful]

It might be giving off shark vibes but most likely no sharks are going to get you but there is alligators in that River that you're on

[@MrJuvefrank]

If you call heads "Bathrooms," then the meaning of head will slip from the language we speak.

[@fredbaldwin4890]

I captained this boat for the then owner Oscar Wise from Knoxville Tn in the very late 1980's out of a charter center in St Pete Bch, Fl. He ended up owing me over $10,000. and left in the middle on the night with promises to pay me. Never saw a dime.

[@boatlover2296]

Welcome to the yachting world 😂

[@jamesburns2232]

You can always file a claim against the estate of Oscar Wise. You may not get paid till after Oscar dies, but at least you will have something to look forward to. If Oscar Wise is already dead, you won't be able to file a claim against his estate. 🤠

[@BillySalzarulo-lz8td]

Is she still there

[@cindyreid6404]

Look at all the stainless steel that's $$$ if that was Florida it would be gone. The last registered owner is responsible for removing it but, the city end up paying for it. Salvage pirates would have fun.

[@robertthompson9455]

Do you know anything about boats ?...That swamped cruiser is dead...To renew it would cost many times what it's worth...

[@babooll5632]

It's licensed, so it has a legal owner

[@dwightmcqueen5771]

Take it

[@MoparMan1320]

Always nice to see when people use rivers as garbage dumps....NOT. Too bad locals don't seem to care about cleaning things up...just sad.

[@americanrambler4972]

I got a kick out of seeing the big old tour boat. But it’s time is done and it needs to go away. Not just sit moldering away on a riverbank and just being an eyesore. Vessels and boats like this one litter our waterways all over the nation. One of the reasons these get ‘abandoned’ like this is it costs serious money to dispose of them, let alone saving and refurbishing them. To clean up those two boats requires the use of some expensive equipment and labor. Plus they must be decontaminated in that hazardous materials must be removed and properly disposed of. And after all of that, those boats must be broken up and carted away to a land fill and what little recoverable materials (primarily the metal fittings and furnishings) salvaged and taken to a place for recycling. Right now large fiberglass boats decks and hulls have virtually no salvage value and it becomes a very big expense to break or grind them up, then you have to pay a bunch of additional money to dump the remains in a land fill. That is why these don’t get cleaned up. And on top of that are the legal issues of ownership and who gets stuck with the bill during and afterwards. I suspect in most cases funding comes from general tax dollar funding, which is almost never available and grants, which occasionally are available. Currently not a win win situation.

[@crazycrea]

Poor boat, she is not completely lost, someone save her. Twin engine boat.

[@terrykeever9422]

Would cost much more to restore than it's salvaged value.

[@Mandy7D7]

Unfortunately this girl is done for. Every single piece of wood would have to be replaced. Water is extremely damaging and there is just nothing salvageable here. Mold has taken hold too. It's a shame people can't be responsible and sell off or dispose of things properly. Especially something with such history.

[@tonyrhoton6613]

Jo lives in that boat

[@blackbirdxx4613]

What about the motor

[@K.J.Ray421]

That's what I was thinking, at least from a salvage standpoint. I wonder just how bad the shell would be if you stripped out the inside and got rid of all the rotten wood. No matter what though, even for example, a married couple with enough cash to fix it. The boat is so large that it needs 2 good size V8's or 2 small diesel engines that the fuel would be too expensive to run it as a personal yacht.

[@robertdonald4409]

that enchantress vessel is beautiful how can i find out about it im in jamaica w.indies

[@MrJuvefrank]

The only use I would have for those boats is to try to teach myself how to work on boats, and try is the keyword. Spend any money on those boats, and you just might watch your cash blow right out the window.

[@tonyrhoton6613]

It used 2 much gas i just parked it u can have it.

Google the number

[@Hibiscuscalyxes]

Its somebody's property! Just because you find something unattended dosnt mean its abandoned. Leave it be , you alredy trespass now dont steal too.

[@superdave2316]

It took you 9 minutes of babble before you finally got to touring the boat. What a waste of time.
