  • In this video he have a bit of a storm resulting in one friend losing his boat and another friend having his boat sink. We head out for a while during the storm to look for the missing boat (no luck unfortunately) and after briefly surveying the damage from the storm being to salvage my other friend's sunken yacht. After SCUABA diving to put some slings around the hull Broken Bay Barges lifts the boat to the surface where we begin to pump the water out of it to float it again. It then gets towed to a mooring safe and sound again.

    Hi Stu, this brought back both good and bad memories. One of the catamarans you photographed was ours. We had only owned her for a few months and had great plans of living on her. We had just returned to Melbourne when we got the news that our dreams were sunk and the loss was total. We had loved coming to the area but were gutted to hear others had broken into her and stripped her of some of our valued possessions. Thank you for giving us one last look at our beautiful boat.

    G’day Stu we could see on tv down here in Tassie that the storms you had were pretty bad, it’s a terrible thing when you see your boat or sum body else’s submerged like that, it’s lucky that he had blokes like you and the barge fellows to give hike a hand to raise it. As you said that he’s gifted in building work that he’ll have her back to where he was, interesting about that pump you were talking about I’ve never seen one, but it’s a great idea. Anyway Stu watching everyone helping him it kind of restores you faith in humanity, Kind regards John

    It's all good fun, having messed about with boats for over 35 years i have seen my fair share of sunken boats, one in particular always makes me smile. i knew this old man that was a bit of a knowall and extremely tight when it came to parting with money, he owned a 30 foot cabin cruiser which had a capped off sterntube, but was powered by a 15 horse outboard, he decided he was going to fit a inboard diesel as he thought petrol was far too expensive, he hired a Marine Engineer to survey his boat and give him a quote to do the work, he nearly collapsed with shock at the price, so he decided to employ a local garage mechanic who had no experience with boats, with the old man sat in the cockpit on his deck chair, the mech got to work, the boat was sat in about 6 or 7 feet of water, after a good half hour of measuring and general farting about the mech took out his angle grinder and began cutting the sterntube to size, as he pierced through the tube water started to spurt from the cut, the old man assured the mech that it was residual water from inside the tube, so he carried on cutting, as the tube fell off the water was now a torrent, the mech decided to abandon ship with his tools, the old man stayed put still sat on his deck chair, as the boat slowly rested on the bottom, the old man was upto his neck smoking his pipe, he uttered well that's buggered that, a week later he ordered a crane to lift the boat, and again he did not like the price that the local Marina were asking to lift the boat, so he hired a company that had never lifted a boat, as the boat came to the surface we tried to tell the old man that he should pump out the water, he would have none of it, his reply was it will run out of the sterntube, as the boat still full of water came out there was an almighty crack and it fell into the dock in two pieces, the last i saw of the old man he was getting into his car, that was 25 years ago and i haven't seen him since.

    • @DangarMarine

      MrBugsier5 “off”? Or did you mean lot _of_ damage there?
      Wow, I’m always impressed when folk struggle to spell two or three letter words like ‘etc’ I’m not even going to comment on your appalling “eatch” but, what _do_ schools teach these days? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    First fires, now storms and floods in Aussie land. Hope you all are all right. Your mate needs to put a fan in his raised boat and run it constantly to help things dry out to try and prevent mold/mildew build up. Don't know what all woodwork he's put into her, just hoping it's not a total loss.

      Yep, some serious ventilation is a good idea.

      @@DangarMarine You should consider the same for Renko. I do like the solution you came up with to remove the flooding on the bridge. Run a line from that hole you drilled straight down to the bilge and let the bilge pumps handle it.

    Wow, you’ve had quite a struggle with Mother Nature lately. The good news is the rain helped knock down the fires. Bad news is the flood.

      For sure, it is good the rain has both topped up the dams and put many of the fires out.
