That thing is going to make a SWEET project boat for someone. Rebuilding the engines, replacing the electronics, rebuilding the outdrives, redoing the hydraulic steering, completely reupholstering it, repairing the hull, and doing anything else you would need to get it fully functioning again would still be cheaper than buying a new one. The cheapest Cigarette boat you can currently get from the factory is $1.2 million. Hopefully it doesn’t end up in a scrap yard.
Where does one pay to put their boat in the world’s largest pot of coffee? It’s almost like someone got some water in their sediment! Nice recovery as always! Smooth and swift.
Everything on this vessel is repairable. Gonna take some time and effort, but very fixable. Motors drives and blowers are pickled, but can be rebuilt. Same thing happened to my Formula, and 8 months later, better than new. No hull damage, but everything else. Most expensive thing is going to be the interiors/ gages/electronics. That’s why you have a trailer in storage, for these times.
@@Profabdesigns I don’t disagree with the lift for this occasion, we were expecting tropical storm winds. Tornadoes are hard to predict, but we personally trailer everything..
ridiculous, insurance costs are spread amongst customers, why I don't get insurance form anyone that is nut's floods, storms, bots RV s all that ..go with 1 trick ponies, cars and bikes only... mo betta .. all by buddies that have state farm pay double what I pay and their premiums go up quarterly . .
nice recovery fellas, stay busy, contain as much as possible and get em going again, these people who abandon their vessels when they know a storm is coming hoping to get anew one really hurt's hose of us who do not even own a boat.. BS! yard it out, make the owner fix it! tired of my insurance going up cuz people cannot take care of their "toys"! yard em out, make em fix em!
@@deandee8082 totnado hit it, the winds from the storm were minimal maybe 50 mph, we get that from an afternoon storm. There were some ef3’s which we never get down here.
@@Itsme-mx5tl doesn’t work, that was flex tape. I need to make a video on how it doesn’t work underwater. It really only works if it’s adhering to itself sticky side to sticky side
Why? Do you say the same thing about the Mona Lisa? IMHO it is a work of art you could drive. Just because I can't afford one don't mean you can't recognize its value. I would have took it right out of the water (sunk) for the right price. The sad part is by the time the insurance company and everything else happens for what's needs for it, it will probably be junk and end up at an auction.
Flex seal tape and spray foam. The tape does a horrible job adhering to anything but itself underwater so I just used it as a way to hold the foam in place till it cured.
@mark, you must have never heard of the the “Toilet Bowl” that’s what us Floridans call Tampa bay.. Nothin but nasty water. Never understand Y people live on it..
I would change the fluids and run some diesel through them and have it running before the end of the day. It all depends on how fast the triage is. A week later, everything is junk. Hours later and you may find yourself in good shape. Not like it was running when it went under (lifters pumping and oil running through passages) so you just need to displace the fluids before air gets to it. As for the outside of the motors just put a sprinkler on them for a day and most of everything would be fine also. Electrics may be an issue but should be expected. Maybe you would still want to rebuild in the future but if you don't save them from the start there will be nothing worth rebuilding in the future.

Your method of lift bags and dock winch to get enough freeboard to start pumping/find the hole is very clever - nicely done.
Crazy! Three supercharged big block motors down the tube....That Florida, what a great business for that State!
So much money in motors! Nice video as always.
Yep, triple 700 SCI Mercs.
About 300 grand worth
I'll have to go down and take a look. Than junps in to water the color of a dark rost coffee 😂.. Super work as always 😎
@@AdventuresonTour yeah there isn’t any looking, it’s braille lol
@@CaptainRetrieverTypical commercial diving visibility…
Don't forget about the flesh eating bacteria

The water is colored by tanins from decayed plant material.
To add on to what that guy ^ said it's also usually brackish water being that color.
Always enjoy these videos. Keep up the good work 👏

100%. If they handed that boat to me out of the water I could save it. 6 months later......

Yeah, you could a tornado at any time.
Good salvage work. 👍
What a f_in shame. 😢😢
Great work as always folks!! 👍👍
You guys are really good
Wow that’s just very very sad 😔 ☹️☹️

Awesome footage.
@@rea8755 thanks, trying to use a little more 4K non-wide angle winds footage where possible. It also cuts down on my editing time..
Thats a Nor Tech boat, quality built, worth big $$
Great vid
That boat is an expensive way of converting money and fuel into noise... ;)
To fix holes, we use plywood, body sealing tape(non curing) and dry wall screws
@@RHaarFl usually we use door skin and self tapping screws with the drill bit tip, but I didn’t want to put more holes in it

I wonder how many hoops there are to start a seatow company?
Thats a Nor-Tech, not a Cigarette btw. Nice recovery though
omg that hurt
Does the instructions for the Flex Seal tell you to use spray foam?
Wonder why?????
@@meinkamph5327 flex seal sucks it doesn’t work under water as they advise
If that crew doesn´t " resolve", nothing will. Great job.
What a shame! Looks like the boats on adjacent lifts were not affected. It's a Nor-tech, not a Cigarette but a great recovery video nonetheless.
Welcome to Tampa Bay. In other terms the “The Toilet Bowl’ Nasty..
You guys should have used "flex tape" on the hull...😅
@@Itsme-mx5tl doesn’t work, that was flex tape. I need to make a video on how it doesn’t work underwater. It really only works if it’s adhering to itself sticky side to sticky side
Man alive - that water is MANK
AUGH!!!! All those Whipples destroyed
There is hope but it all depends on what happens after the recovery.
I am currious how these sink. where is the lift.
Geez that water looks nasty, up east I would call that sewer water runoff. 🥵
Barely used. Left the dock 1 time.
why did the owners NOT get it out of the water before the hurricane?
Visibility underwater looks like it would be like swimming in coffee................
@@timc3937 thats being optimistic lol
Wow 3 1250’s destroyed
Sad ….
Used boats are super cheap in Florida now .
Cost more to restore than it's worth! Good luck on insurance.....
Sad state of affairs. Now comes the total refit process if they decide.
Its a Nor-Tech though not a Cigarette 😉
Water looks nasty
They dragged his drives and props on bottom
Probably of minimal concern at this point.
Score. Everything is Nat Geo until you have lay a single finger on the bottom of inland brackish water.
That just suck for the poor owner. Terrible way to lose a boat.. Think its fixable. Without a complete replacement of everything?
Too much money...
Too much hurricane.

What is that patch material you used to patch the hole? ruclips.net/video/C9iUSAQ_wWI/видео.html
Flex seal tape and spray foam. The tape does a horrible job adhering to anything but itself underwater so I just used it as a way to hold the foam in place till it cured.
Sorry bro, but that water just don't look CLEAN. Hope you're up on your tetanus shots!
@mark, you must have never heard of the the “Toilet Bowl” that’s what us Floridans call Tampa bay.. Nothin but nasty water. Never understand Y people live on it..
@mark,
Welcome to Tampa Bay, or better known as the “Toilet Bowl’ never understand Y anyone lives on that water. Brown water and catfish heaven!!! Lol
Damn three destroyed blown motors. All from cheap patch job from what I could make in the video. Priorities
Hurricane punched a hole in the side and tore off the rear engine hatch. They put the quick patch on to float it, so it could be towed.
Owner to lazy to take boat out of harms way.
@@bbrcummins1984 not much stands up to a tornado. We had multiple ef 1-3’s
It was on a lift in the air above the water when along came a tornado which was a product of the hurricane.
@@MovieMuscle Still it looks like they had the stern to the channel. Not good in my world but a tornado makes that point moot.
Absolute totaled motors without a complete tear down and rebuild.
Yep, three 700SCI Mercs DOA.
