For all of the marine salvage experts in the comments: The owner, Sherrif, and insurance company all told us the boat was a total loss and were only concerned about getting it removed regardless of any damage that might occur during the recovery process.
Lift bags were not a viable or safe option with how hard the river was flowing. Those bags have an enormous amount of surface area and they rip to pieces when you tow them any faster than about 5mph and we were moving along at closer to 15-20mph by the time you factor in the speed of the river flowing plus the 5+ mph that we were moving upstream. Lift bags are NOT as easy to use as everyone thinks they are
thanks for this comment, it always amazes me how people can think they know how stuff works when they have neither ever worked with it or ever sat down to learn how they could work with it.
It seems, nobody read this comment ?
Well said 👍😎
Get yourself some snout tubes. 37" x 22' inflatable pontoon... you can get some from a river company in the Grand Canyon or find some old Bridge pontoons in military surplus...there would make these river and lake recoveries so much easier
And you did not state what could have happened if your boat stopped running. Maybe that is why no body else would do it.
Thank you so much for the recovery! We contacted many but you were the only ones willing to do it and we are so grateful. The boat is still in great shape and we are happy to get it back! You have no idea how stressful this whole situation had been.
Blink twice if you are being made to say this against your will.
They destroyed all the windows!! That was absolutely the result of being lazy or just stupid! Totally wrong way to do the job....but hey if you're happy😂😂😂😂😂
How much will it cost to have all the windows replaced that they blew out?
All the gear and no idea stick to fixing diesels
Where is the all widows man
The edit of “I think it will pop up” to it being dragged under water had me dying 😂
Just took a bit to blow out the windows first 😂
Luck
I’d rather be missing all my glass than the rest of the boat.. nice recovery
I rewinded it cos I was like, wait were the windows there? 😅
@@JoeDobias and its on the bottom of the river..they should have taken it out first instead of polluting
Boat recovery expert, here. Winching to a tree to dump or siphon water, as you contemplated, would have been preferable, and probably, easier. Float it and tow it has, always, been my motto.
But that won't make a great CZcams video ! lol
It's not about easy, it's about views.
@@wheelstandrthat's what insurance is for and I give it a 99.9% that wasn't glass it was lexan
@@jlo7770 I could care less anymore. I've moved on. Even if you're right, Lexan is way more expensive than tempered glass. Especially if it's scratch resistant.
Nice job Daves and crew! Funny how instantly everyone in the comments becomes a boat recovery expert !
Finally someone who doesn't think they know everything 😅
I am a Master Mariner. I am a marine expert. And you ? What is your area of expertise ?
Sucks it blew all the windows out but the boat was saved and can be repaired owner is probably happy
Old worn out wear rings allow cavitation inside the pump and really hamper clean flow of water through the pump. My dad ran a jet up and down the Colorado River and he literally changed the wear ring every year. And it always made a remarkable difference in speed and low end torque. Depending on river/lake conditions, its best to measure the clearance quite often if you want peak performance.
Awesome boat, nice of you to come to the rescue of those in need again! The owner seemed to really appreciate it.
Love the repairs on your boat. Was surprised you didn't try to float the boat a bit before towing. Thanks for a great video this morning. Glad the owner was happy to get his boat back.
You guys sure smash up a lot of people's things whenever you do these "recovery's" 😂😂😂🤪🙃
I have watched your content for a long time now, and the work you and your team does is awesome. That said, I am handicapped and my wife has always wanted a Mustang. i was finally able to get her one but it needs to be gone through from front to rear and top to bottom. I am unable to complete the work now, and I am in hopes that you might find a place in your guys' hearts to complete the work. After 17 yrs in the military I am ashamed to have to ask for help but with sll my issues I may not be around to many more years and I hope that after all she has done for me I can leave her with a safe car. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for helpin the guy out!! Stay safe everyone
“I don’t know if it’s well done.. iiits successfully done” 😂😂
Hey Dave and crew, thank you so much for the recovery! It was a really wild day and we have been so stressed about how to get this out. Even though you broke my windows, im very thankful!!! Great wishes to you and your crew.
I guess the only positive thing about the windows being blown out is that the panels all seem to be flat panels of glass so you can have them cut to shape at most any glass shop. If they were curved glass windows then you would be looking at big bucks to replace them.
Bless you and your crew for all you do, thank you.
Yikes....blew out all the windows. It had windows when you started the recovery.
Lolz
It was also ½ sunk with little hope when he got there.
That demonstrates the power of water. It is a lot more dense than everybody thinks it is and weighs more than everybody thinks it does. Before they got it up out of the water they were barely going upstream against the flow of the water, which he said was moving between 20 to 25 MPH, and that was enough to pop the windows out of the frames.
It probably didn't have a bunch of dents and scratches on the bottom either.
@@TheOriginalAndysGarage
"Holy shit now its junk"
The motor quit running so it would probably have needed to be taken apart and rebuilt anyway. The windows will need to be replaced. It is a boat so everything was made to get wet anyway. The hull and cab are still in good shape and no holes in the hull.
Not junk, just a used boat that needs some work. A little more than expected, but not so much for someone who could afford to buy a used jet-boat in the first place.
Nice that you give back and help people out
This is paid recovery he’s not doing this for charity
I’m shocked you guys didn’t try to pump water out first 😮
I was thinking that, then saw the angle the boat was at in relation to that fast flowing river, fairly sure you would need one heck of a pump to beat that flow rate. Also didn't seem an obvious way to safely get the boat higher at the stern end.
@@chrismcconnell4336just attach an airbag or two at the back to get the stern out of the water, pump all the water out, tow it back safely with the windows still intact. That would have been the proper way to recover it.
@@12sec5ltr But that would not make for "good" content...
It would have saved the windows it took all of the glass in the front of the boat. It was in great shape before the pulled it under water
Thete was alot of luck in this recovery
Crazy boat i didnt think it was gonna pull it out once it rolled and fully submerged.
You are the best in recovery of anything. I enjoy watching your videos.
Same
you must not know about rory irish
No way this is by my hometown and I passed you guys as you were heading to do the recovery. I had to do a double take thinking man that looks like heavyd's boat😂. Super cool!
I gotta admit. I thought that was going a different way. Goes to show that you know a thing or two about this. I Never would have thought you could float that boat with just current and force. 👏 👏 👏
Great recovery! Without any inflation bags to lift the boat and pump it out, you had no other options. Not sure if bags would have worked there anyway. That rescue boat has amazing power.
Those jet pumps blasted all those windows out when it went under too.
Call subsalve and get you some salvage bags and just float these things it’s easy. We do it weekly at SeaTow Central Tx
Big Facts 😁
They've got airbags and all the equipment, I've seen them use it before, they just decided not to on this one.
Current way to fast . A handful of windows is dirt cheap compared to all the other work that has to be done to the boat. Let alone the fines that probably start racking up.
You guys float bags in 15 knot currents?
Seems like they are always in a rush and More stuff gets damaged in the Process. I agree bags and pumping it would have been better then what they did
Just waiting for the video where you buy a swedish Combat boat 90H (CB90) - Originally called "Stridsbåt 90H". The US navy has a few and they love them, so do many other countries. They can be found on the civilian market atleast in Europe, don´t know about the US. They can go almost anywhere because they are made for shallow water operations. They stop from full speed in 2,5 boatlenghts by reversing the waterjets, that´s a rush i tell ya.
That was great Dave the crew did there job thank you for keeping the water ways clear for people to enjoy.safely
I would like to see more tv show style restorations. I haven’t seen these guys restore anything start to finish in years it feels like
Sparks motors channel has all the building content!
@@HeavyDSparksI'm subed to all you're channels
Why didn't you pump out all the water first?
Now it's 100% water damaged and with no windows lol
Good job👍 from a operator of over 20 years
This beats Cable, TV and Sat, or what ever you call it...I'm watching this...
The comment section made my day. In the end, I'm positive that the assistance was well appreciated.
Always helping someone!! And that army boat is going to be sick!!
That recovery was almost whistlindiesel style.
Your new boat is a BEAST. That roll scared me for a real sec, have you guys looked at boat-recovery floatation bags? Could give water recoveries their own little floaties, then tow the target full or not. Not that this project needed it at all lol.
That boat is awesome. Definitely could have a fun time with that boat that HeavyDSparks has.
I don't know how this came up on my feed, but that boat you pulled out is pretty cool. Your boat looks like it would be great on the coast.
Dave Sparks: Turning boats into submarines, one episode at a time. 😂
Wow what a change in that boat and only going to get better. Loved the recovery of the sunken boat.
A+ video guys.
Agree
Very pleased to see the navy boat had some solid work done on it. It seemed like every time you brought it out, something went wrong with it, and it was always "we need to do X" or "we need to fix Y," except it never got done. Glad to see it finally did.
Thats awesome my grandpa used to weld for the air force ,when he passed i got a bunch of propellors he rebuilt and welded the materials back , thanks for bring me that memory back
Every time I watch You Bros do what you do It warms My Heart 💯💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely love all your videos here in nz thanks for the great content
I'm telling you we have to get you a cape! Heavy D to the rescue
Great recovery
Found you thru Flair thanks for helping him out
Well done all! - quailty recovery, no question. As always, appreciate awesome videography...and all the personalities. B safe and well everyone.
I love watching you guys work and getting good laughs ! 👍🏼😎
Hell yea, do you know what’s gonna be a good day when it starts off with a diesel brothers video?
Hell yeah 👍
For sure
Hell yea
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Perfect sentence!
Every video I watch I learn something whether it's something small or something cool on how to get an old piece of equipment running. I love your videos
..Another great job done by the D Team..No Mission too big or small for our Bearded Crusaders..We Arrive,We Conquer,We Leave...what more is there too say..jobs a Gooden..🙏
@heavyDSparks, what's the round patch adhesive behind your ear?
Anti motion sickness?
Hopefully its makeover includes a full rebuild on both engines, and performance upgrades to really make the power!!! 👍🤘
For theatrics, this recovery was great, but from a owner point of view, you guys should done the job properly using inflatable bags, pumping out the water and tow it slowly.
Having ADD, unnecessarily being in a big hurry, and incurring someone else's damage makes for a better video.
from what the owners seems to have comented all other company's dint wana do it so it would seem that traditional options where not manageable in that location, im sure he had good reason to do it this way
@@higamerXD at last someone with some common reasoning.
@@jeanries434 yea nowadays online common sense is rare sense lol
With the strong side current it would have been really difficult to get bags under it. Risk someone’s life or some boat damage. Seems like it came out fine with barely any damage. I’m sure the owner was happy to get the boat back in one piece.
Lot of people talking a lot of smack about the recovery. But you guys did a great job
Great recovery guys!
Dang it Dave. I’m already having a heavy flow day. Then you put this stress on me. Lol
Where did this recovery take place?
Right on guys that was a good recovery
Did ya lose most the glass or was it still in the boat in places?
That was amazing!!!
Just had to flip and Kamikaze all the glass. Great vid
I thought the owner was going to start crying when he saw what they did to his boat 😢
@@patmiller7045One of the worst recoveries I’ve ever seen. Surprised that he decided to put this one online.
@@patmiller7045they crashed it not heavydsparks
@@adamr9215everyone makes mistakes
Wow! It was neat to see that boat refloat after being upside-down. Good job!
Did we see that?
@@brianb5086 no but we did see the boat upside-down and then next moment it was upright. He explained what happened!
Windows get blown out when it flipped??
I thought it was a goner there for a minute. Great job guys
Doing gods work 🙏
What is that sticker behind your right ear Dave
At no time was the boat ‘on plane’.
You trailer sailors are hilarious.
Every recovery video has this absurdity. No clue what they are doing. lol
You armchair experts are hilarious.
I love how Dave always makes the easiest rescues sound like they were insanely sketchy andsuper dangerous lol
I work at safeboats glad to see the old girl still up and running puttin in work! We still have two RPBs around the shop one for showing off to potential customers and rides, the other riddled with bullet holes 7.62 by the look of them.
what was or who was heavy flow I cant remember, I just remember that name and it being from this channel.
Such a cool boat, I bet it will look sick when you are done with her. The question is will it be camo or not?
If your gonna buy all of that for your boat, then must get FLUR as well, heat readings do help in a lot of different situations.
Well done USMC SURC Small Unit Riverine Craft
I’ve commented before but I never know if you see them because there’s so many people commenting. If you want to try running a jet boat with your same set up (twin 400 hp turbo diesels with Hamilton marine pumps ) but all electronic controls (joystick docking, power steering and helm modes) you’re welcome to try the Osprey (36’ Hinckley picnic boat) any time. I’m in Camden Maine on the Atlantic Ocean. A beautiful spot. Would definitely make some great content.
Love how they lost all of the glass and windows that were in the boat into the river
Pretty messy recovery guys, take some extra time and do the job right. If you want to demo your boat power, drag a piece of scrap upriver.
I'd be mad you broke all the windows 🤪
On a recovery like this it's pretty much like that , those are cheap and easy to fix ...
@@jram7047 Would been cheaper to use inflatable bags and pump the water out.
I’d be mad too… They did a horrible job recovering that boat
Seems like most of this channel is about showing off toys they buy and the sponsorship.
@@RogerM88time to do that would be way more money even if they were making minimum wage...
Well you do get to put new windows in her. Clean slate maybe?
Heavy D's expert planning & action gives the result of Wonder. Well done!!
Glass was good to go when it was stuck now it has no glass. Whatever u got it out yay but
Hans loved the hug he got from Dave 8:10
Thanks boys.... the Thailand trip would kick butt fellas....cmon lets go!
Was that the Missouri or the Platte? What folks don’t understand on here is the enormous power of a spring runnoff situation like this, and pulling dead weight against. No way would I want to put myself or my crew under water to attach those float bags. Glad they recovered it and only the windows and not lifes were lost
That was interesting, but the owner's smile said it all. I could feel his relief. Glad it was an aluminum boat.
That boat is so cool
That is an awesome boat.
Awesome machines and awesome men!
Thank you for the video.
You got me with the heli in the thumbnail! Great video regardless.
very impressive how it pulled it up. one thought you need a self contained battery sump pumps that can be pre attached before starting the pull that would help drain the boat while on plane. key they have to sustain underwater barrel roles lol but true. Great job.
The cut to the sunken boat suddenly being on plane, almost suspiciously cut... We really want to see all that water pour out of the rescued boat as it gets on plane.. I mean especially because there is a drone on it that whole time, that footage must exist! And I'm definitely not the only one who wants to see it. Not at all complaining how about the recovery, y'all do good work and good videos
That was some funny sh-t when she finally got on plane the windows gone.
You got all the big boy toys.
Awesome to say the least.
A while back, I witnessed a recovery where an inflatable float harness was used for a sunken vessel. It might have been SeaTow but I don't think the recovery vessel was their normal yellow color. It was a decent sized Princess Flybridge cruiser. They just harnessed her up, turned on a pump and she breached like a whale. Pumped her out and towed her off.
Great recovery. I'd love to see the boat makeover...
Yeah I do salvage and boat towing for a living and this is exactly how I would have done it. Only difference is I would have just gone off the bow trailer eye and not the cleats. Helps to lift the bow as you pull it to drain the water out.
I want to see an unedited Timelapse of it coming back to the surfaces 👍 😉….
This is by far the best team and couple that with the best equipment and you got the best of the best
