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?

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.

Wow! Now that I have watched the rest of the video and had my salvage question answered I wanted to come back to once again compliment this team and their extraordinary efforts! That boat is indeed everything I wanted to build or buy before injuries ended my recreational pursuits. Having heard the actual sinking report and seeing the whole craft above the water, it is actually kind of unnerving to learn the heavy duty aluminum boats can be sunk, even though there are manufacturers who claim their boats are "unsinkable"! I'll avoid naming specific companies, but a quick search online will let curious people find out which builders are making "unsinkable" aluminum watercraft. I'm totally hooked on this channel after one video! Thank you so much for your work and I wish everyone there good luck on future projects!

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.

I also tow a large travel trailer regularly and again it hauls it like nothing. No Escalade's do not "suck", that is a subjective term. I think Ford Explorers and Expeditions fucking suck how about that, and I say that has having owned one and driven many. Most people that say a certain vehicle sucks have never owned one, it's just built by the company that is a competitor of their favorite brand. LOL

[@fz1000red]

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.

👍 Awsome episode!! Brings back awsome memories of my dad salvaging a Jolly Roger out of lake Washington when I was a kid. I live in Washington so really neat to see this.

Steve Rohlinger sounds like fun but have you ever been to a nude beach? Some of us should keep ALL our clothes on!!!!

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 a fantastic thing you fellas did, a great achievement. I know nothing about this, but have often wondered about the possibility of refloating sunken boats. Nice one 👍.

[@heathschwab]

Wow thats amazing I wanted a boat like that for years but to big for me now days sucks being disabeld but love that style boat and good job guys. Nice find. God bless

Imagine how much easier this would be with your latest lift bags.

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!

[@iridefast1]

[@AdventuresWithPurpose]

Glad you enjoyed it!😂

[@TheOhLeahChronicles]

This was the coolest! Roll on, Columbia, roll on!

[@eclectic1080]

That WAS AWESOME !!!!! After all that , He wanted to Sale the Boat...WOW!! .... Couldn't Believe how much sand collected on top of it . Another 2-3 yrs during that time, Boat would have been Completely Buried !!! That's a Keeper ..Really Nice . Did the Body of the Boat Blind or torque ?

[@imyourpcguy8477]

Very cool! Great work. While you were reeling it in I kept thinking, "What a catch!"

[@jasonprintz3909]

That's insane how quick that boat was almost swallowed up by the bottom

[@HWPcville]

Why would a boat of that value be left and not recovered immediately (by the owner or insurance company)? UPDATE: Ok, I watched more and saw where the professional boat finders couldn't find it and this fellow found it with about 100 hours work.

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

The pros would have found it eventually but I suspect the insurance company weighed the cost of finding and recovering it vs. the cost of paying out and discovered it would be cheaper to just pay out.

[@lazarohernandez6292]

Nice work - tell underdog he has new sub

[@shaunlehman9158]

The Columbia is no joke. That boat was custom built for this purpose and it still could not survive a rough day on the big river. I’ve spent my entire life on the waters of the Columbia and I’ve seen my far share of horrific accidents

[@frankiesaotoandmore5872]

Awesome find am still waiting on to find the one ill bring back to life . be safe out there .
