They don't have the resources to pump a little water out but they do have the resources to deal with the water contamination and get it to float again, makes sense..

[@RevN3]

Dang, that drone shot where you pull away from you and Jen on the boat and show the sunset was very professional. Beautiful shot!

That boat would be an amazing boat after a simple cleaning.

[@Bread996]

It needs far more than that. It's missing all of the electronics and the wiring is a disaster. Upholstery is shot. Those old Bayliners had decent hull's, but terribly cheap hardware and accessories. @@johnnyrocket9372

[@milleRC51]

You did the right thing leaving it alone. If you'd started pumping it out on your own you'd've probably wound up charged with improper disposal of hazardous materials considering how contaminated that water would likely have been. It's a no-win situation unfortunately.

How does this channel not have more traffic. Love all your content, Chris. Enjoy your Sunday bud.

[@nnkhmisc]

It has a fair bit of large ships and barges that come up. But this is pretty close to the end of the channel. Ends at Trenton. There used to be a lot of coal barges back when PSEG Mercer generating station was still there.

[@ernieforrest7218]

Thanks for the views of Bristol. I was moved to Trevose by my family in 1938 when i was 3 years old. We did most of our shopping in Bristol as there was no shopping in the Trevose area untill much later. Mill street was a busy place at that time with shoppers. I remember Leon Plavins Auto Boys store, and Diamonds sporting goods store. At the entry onto Mill st was a movie theater. In 1955 i bought a runabout boat with a 40 horse Mercury outboard motor. It was the largest outboard made at that time. I kept the boat at a small marina on Neshaminy creek very close to the RT 13 bridge over the creek. There was a larger private owned marina where the State owned marina is today. We did lots of water skiing on the river. Back then tug boats would be towing large barges with sand and gravel down river. The water front at Bristol looked much different then, the pavilion was there but no docks. I havent been to Bristol in probably 40 years, as i lived in upper Bucks prior to moving to Florida 25 years ago. But i still have a boat, and will be going Crappie fishing later today. Thanks again for the video.

[@shouldabeenaborted]

Wow area has changed a lot..I left maybe 15 yrs ago and those docks weren't there then.

Bummer that the coast guard didn't stay on top of it. But they're probably understaffed and overworked like most places these days.

[@TheOtherBill]

Most likely underfunded due to misplaced priorities by politicians.

No. The cost guard is not overworked. Watched these guys from across the river they don’t work

Chris, Funny that the incident with your submarine truck came up! I think that was the first one of your videos I tuned in too. I like your concern for the environment and doing what is right! I always enjoy your content and I appreciate all the time that goes into making and editing the content.

[@williamhelliwell3060]

Just another reason I live vicariously through your boat videos! Hate to see that happen. Great video!

[@debbiebayles1706]

Love the video. Thank you the views spectacular, not counting the boat and the music are really nice touch. Interesting that the borough gentleman said the Coast Guard Didn’t have the resources but then when they had to come pump the oil out of the water and clean it up, they had the resources. Go figure.. Again, a pleasure watching. Thank you. Oh 60s and 70s I spent quite a few years in Bristol as I divided time between my mother and my father. Nice town to be a teenager in. I learn to swim, jumping off that pier.

[@williamdavis5052]

Fact is the Coast Guard is not involved in saving moored abandoned vessels. If it was in open water and lives were at risk they would respond. Alongside a safe berth it’s the owners responsibility. Abandoned vessels are a big problem, different states have different methods for handling removal. Authority to act and who pays is the question.

[@fonz323]

Spring can't come soon enough, can't wait to get out on the water.

[@paulne1514]

Looks different since I was there. There use to be a 1 vehicle ramp, set in between the rocks. You had one shot to make the trailer when the tide was moving. If you were out of state or not local, someone would mess with your trailer while you were gone. Cut the strap, loosen the lug nuts, deflate your tires. Fun place to go!

[@alonsogutierrez7152]

I would have taken the vessel as a project. O'well. You're the man Chris!

[@jeepguymb45]

You’re a river keeper. Keep up the good work

[@benschlack5814]

What's amazing is where you bring us...

[@JimmyWatches2102]

Loved your piano music!

[@adventuresofaboatguy]

It’s not the responsibility of the Coast Guard to remove the vessel from the water nor maintain its seaworthiness at the pier, that falls on the owner. All the Coast Guard is going to do is move it out of the way so it’s not a hazard to navigation. The Army Corps or the county is responsible for removing it if the owner isn’t able to do.

[@michaelnotigan7796]

Correct, 100%. The CG does not do salvage work, for that, it's a call to SeaTow. Once that boat was safely moored up, the CG or local Marine Police's work is complete. Whatever agency tied that boat up (if they indeed, did so) could have run the registration and VIN numbers to find out who the owner is & contact them to have the boat removed. As it stands, the CG will be very interested in that gas/oil sheen on the water. And I'd expect the CG will find the owner and advise them of how much the fine costs will be.

[@kennethsonier1766]

You did an amazing job videoing the river. It's a shame that boat sunk but you probably were better off just leaving well enough alone. Back to the Hot Rust Lincoln 😉✌️🇺🇲

[@sambrown8224]

The USCG is not responsible for it. They find it as a derelict hazard to navigation and put it to a berth. The berth owner should have contacted the CG immediately after it showed up but probably figured it wasn't his problem. Now that spill is his problem. I'll bet the USCG Sector command in the area doesn't even know it's there.

[@chadburud5681]

Buy that boat! Love to see it on the channel. If u can do a swamped tundra u can do that

[@chrisrizzo6624]

You did the right thing Chris. You could have used a couple inflatable tubes that were uninflated and slipped under the hull, and then inflate the tubes to lift the hull out of the water and pump the water out of the hull. I don't know where you can get those , though.

[@timh.1300]

Good video Chris

[@raym5113]

Nice boat, many still on the water.

[@grasscutter88]

They don't do anything until it they have to. This same thing happened to a couple boats by me. One was half sunk at the dock for a couple months. I guess it wasn't leaking anything, so they weren't too worried. Another one was sunk for probably a month before the sheriff department refloated it.

[@justoutdoors3652]

I think I know that boat!!! I believe it was at the dock I had mine at Neshaminy State Marina. I wonder if they told the owners to remove it or pay to haul it out of the water and they didn’t have the money, or someone else tow it to the Bristol Dwarf 🤔 because it was abandoned at the marina 🤔. Very strange and as I recall there was a sign that said do not board. I can’t tell for sure that’s the one but I definitely looks like it. I hope the marina didn’t do it because that would be illegal.

[@jdboy9]

The Coast guard here in Fairport Ohio built a big old building for their post a dozen years ago or so. Well I guess they are closing it down for various reasons. I heard the CG is hurting in the recruitment department.

[@Jsailor1210]

USCG doesn’t deal with salvage operations. And they really don’t tow much anymore for liability reasons. It’s kind of crazy. The USCG is a train wreck just like every other government agency, I served in the USCG for 6 years.

[@steveaw5895]

Of course he claims he sold it. Environmental cleanup are very costly. The Coast Guard is claiming lack of resources here in Northern Indiana. They want to only man the Michigan City station on the weekends. The heck with the weekday boaters and fishermen.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Lol espreee is how u say it. Dates back to the lotus espirit! Very unfortunate situation with this boat. What the heck

[@justincooper5189]

I used to live at levittown trace, but I'm not sure how to get to that area the video was filmed at, because I was mainly on foot. It looks like a decent area to go fishing around. Maybe go do some magnet fishing.

Hopefully someone has deep pockets or really good insurance for that cleanup. All that fuel and oil needs to be recovered.

The only thing that boat needed was a charger... Classic, the bilge pump run the battery down and then it sinks.

[@ashtonharvey5723]

Dude that is a shame. ESPECIALLY the first time you went on board. It was saveable then. That hurts

[@redneckbryon]

Something you must remember, if it was your boat and it sunk and was contaminating the water. The Coast Guard would be on immediately. But when it's their responsibility, they take their time. Since they can't charge anyone for the damage that was caused, immediately.

One thing I’ll never buy is a boat, my friend bought a boat and we thought it would be fun, nope, one weekend we were pulled over on a lake 5 times by police, it was super annoying, not once did they find any safety issues and we weren’t drinking. Then the fun didn’t stop there as his boat had leaks and took on water and each time to repair leaks which they never did right was thousands of dollars!

[@jamesps7515]

That just sounds like your buddy bought a dud of a boat, and you were boating in the wrong place. It’s called take care of your boat and it will take care of you. I’ve spent thousands of hours on the water with my old man over the years and still continue to do so. I’ve been stopped 2 times in 30 years one by CG one by fish and game police both were very nice people and the stop was quick. If you’re doing nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about
