Absolutely insane, never thought it would be possible to do a "trail" repair on a boat with a massive hole in the bottom. Especially not flip the whole damn thing over and back without an issue. Love this channel

[@KyleHaines615]

Yeah, it was cool how ge fixed it, but now the boat is even more damaged than before. When he rolled it, he completely crushed the surf Bar, or wake Bar, or whatever the thing is that goes over the top of the boat that had the marine grade speakers on it, not to mention, it also ripped the bolts holding down right out of the hull, so to bold on a new wake bar, you'd have to put a patch, most likely metal plate, over the holes where the bolts were ripped out and drill and tap new holes for the bolts. Unless the boat was already totaled, I don't agree with his decision to roll it as apposed to just towing it on the air bags

Ain't that the truth brother!

Watch out folks here comes Heavy D Insurance Agency... Where we show up rain or shine at the drop of a hat and literally bail you out of any situation! Haha

[@heatherd.9390]

You're a good friend to have for many reasons, but certainly when toys get stuck (or sink)! That looks like a nice boat that was sunk... hopefully the fix isn't too terribly expensive - it'll be worth it to have it back in use, that's for sure! The buddy you are talking to at 16:30 hasn't spent a lot of time with his shirt off yet this summer😎 lol. Now you know how most ladies feel when they wear tank tops or t-shirts for most of the summer, haha! I have always wanted to visit Lake Powell. The houseboating, the speed boating, skiing, fishing, floating, etc. It's a stunning place. I would pay a lot of money (that I don't have😂) to get there and spend a week or 10 days on a houseboat (with access to a ski boat). Sad it won't happen, but maybe I can get my daughter there some day. She'd have a blast! Summer fun is here! Heather🇨🇦

[@ericpeterson5575]

I guess the insurance was probably going to "total" it anyway... but rolling it over and tearing off the rack and thrashing one whole side rolling against the rocks pretty much seals the deal... still a super GREAT recovery!! Really good that it's out of there because, if it had sunk, the environmental impact fines for all that gas and oil would not have been pretty ugly. (let alone sad that it leaked into the lake) I had my houseboat impounded at Powell-Wahweep for a fuel filler hose that had dry rotted and came completely apart without warning. While at the fuel dock it leaked a crapload and by the time the fuel girl stopped pumping it caused a giant fuel slick. - This closed the fuel dock for several hours while they put out absorbent mats and booms and went into full-on fire protocol. Needless to say, our insurance company cancelled us after they paid the EPA fines. Along with varying fines, the EPA statute also says 1 year in jail if convicted of negligence. and the lawyer said if we were pumping our own fuel, that would likely have applied. - potentially due to negligent maintenance.

[@acarman7728]

Next time bring some splashtech, rags and tarps. It's the quickest way to patch holes underwater. Tarp the outside of the boat so it fills in the holes then shove rags into the holes and apply splashtech. If not a board with rubber on one side with a piece of all thread threw it and some angle iron to anchor it on the inside and outside of the vessel works even quicker. But good job with the salvage.
