watched a few of your vids now, Ive been boating for 30 years, never seen some of the techniques you use. Awesome. Much respect for the single handed recoveries, it's a dangerous job.
Yes, with us no charge for what they call soft ungroundings. I’ve heard of some towers being funny with pods because the owner tried to sue for damage, but we don’t unless you’re in the trees, beached, etc.
I wonder how fast my man was going when he found himself on the bottom. That was a pretty hard grounding for appearing to be sitting proper on the waterline. Good on you taking the extra time to ride along and make sure he was good with no vibrations or needs a full tow back to the dock!
That’s a pretty heavy boat, even at 10 knots would get it pretty good. Better to wait till it’s free before making it worse. Towboats is worth the money
We always stay with them for a minute to make sure it isn't too badly damaged. 75% of inboards & pods are good enough to leave under their own power, but sometimes the vibration is too bad for them to continue..

Well done Capt you done it again 👍👍
So if this customer is a member, that means this tow is no charge? I would definitely be a member 😎

$275/ hr sounds fair. "Depth finder? What does that do?"
How often do you have to change water pump impeller blades using this swashing technique?
What is "pods"?
It’s basically like an outdrive that is straight under the boat and pivots 360 degrees.
