Hey Gus!!!! This is Edward Hall from the safe cove boatyard. I have the princess 55 that got all the hull damage. Just Met you and your Dad today Dec 14th 2022.

I’m very familiar with that area as my sister and brother-in-law live/lived on Eagle River my brother-in-law owned and may still own the Green point boat yard I spent a good amount of time there when I used to come up and visit to fish and go boating in that area It’s crazy that you got out of that situation without more damage but luckily those marsh grass banks are very muddy and forgiving Cool video you remind me very much of my nephews that grew up on the Eagle River as they were hard-core boaters when just kids and still are involved in the boating and shipping industry Keep up the great work you guys! 👍🏻 Matt

Happy I chanced on this channel, greetings from a boat in New Zealand..... 10m flybridge launch running Volvo 250hp with a 3.1m tender running a Merc 30hp..... still summer here!
Glad you were able to get off the marsh. I actually keep my boat at Greens Point and saw it in the background when you were hauled out. Looking forward to watching your adventures as you head down the coast to Fla. Good luck boys!! 🍻
Incredible adventure, I’m 62 and I’m looking into doing this, much respect to the crew. New subscriber I’m catching up on all your videos. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
I just contacted josh..I just bought 1988 40' hyatt sundeck, with same cummins ..an 5kw. Northern lights generator..getting it ready to go down waterway to mobile from Chattanooga..I'd recommend those cummins..
Thanks men for sharing your feedback. I’ve spent a little time on the water, North Atlantic, Arctic Circle, Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, Cuba, etc… just thinking about this type of low key boating. Thank you.
@@InTooDeepBro im 71 an im learnin...thanks pardner, have had couple boats..built 51 steel shrimpboat n back yard n panama city getting ready take my hyatt 40 from here n tn t key largo..hope..thanks again
A family member ran an older sports fisher aground years ago. thought nothing wrong but a shaft was imperceptibly out of true. it wore the cutlass down enough to start slowly leaking. The bilge pump was ding fine until the boat was moored at a non powered dock. The battery went down and about three days later it slowly sank. Keep up with the hull penetrating shafts, i.e. rudder and props. Also make sure the bilge pumps are capable in the worst case scenarios. Good luck and fair winds.
Cutlass bearing do not seal anything. Do you mean they didnt check their stuffing box? Before getting off the boat always look at it and see how often it drips and tighten it if needed. It would take a REALLY long time to sink a boat with a leaking stuffing box, shame on them for being bad boat owners and making all out insurance go up.
My 33' sailboat had the same October experience at the Ipswich Bay Yacht Club. The servicer didn't tip the mushroom anchor when placing it one spring. The chain wrapped on the shank and two 1" new nylon pennants chafed thru in a northeaster. With the tide rising it floated 5 miles up the Rowley River, spent the night on the marsh and we retrieved it in the AM. It only required a new rudder. Not the fun experience of boating.
**Great Adventures!**. Thanks for taking the time to capture them. Looking forward to making similar trips. If you ever need anything and you’re in the Chesapeake area or venture up to Lake Champlain - just ask….
Wow were you lucky! Never thought those old Albins were well-built. Fred Peters (founder of Albin) picked some random Taiwanese yards to build his boats over the years. I owned an Albin 35 Command Bridge built in RI and it was a good boat. Glad your boat turned out to be tough.
Oh shit, what a nightmare. We had a storm here too last weekend and it felt good that my boat (about the same size as yours) is in winter storage indoors on land in that kind of weather.
BTW your maneuver is called “kedging”. You were fortunate, and having 2” shafts didn’t hurt. Do you have some boating experience or a few old salts advising you?
awesome man! i have a 30' SeaRay. it however had the ford gas engines that were not installed correctly or maintained. rest of boat was nice. i kept her in the hilsborough river 1/4 mile from tampa bay for 6 years till i pulled her home and put on blocks for the re power. fla is a great place for your boat. lots of opportunities here. but it cost a fortune to moore . 10$ a foot for just a tie up , no shore power or live aboard. those places are all gone.
Earlier in the summer I stayed on the boat for 3 days on mooring during a "Hurricane" and never saw more than 25kts. I watched the forecasts for this one very closely and it was forecasted as 20kts out of the NE, 25kt gusts... looking back I should had stayed on the boat!
I'd invest in a lot of new 1in nylon dock and moring lines. Also, get a heavy anchor, with an additional 50ft of chain. You've got a large, heavy, and tall boat, which will catch the wind, and create a lot of windage against a dock line or anchor line. Stay safe, it always happens when you least expect it! Thanks
I'm 71..bought old 40' hyatt with same cummins engines..thanks pardner. Liking your vid.s. ,, what year an make is your boat josh..hope mines that tough..!
@@InTooDeepBro thanks pardner..I'm old just turned 71..but taking my son Ling (cobia) fishing off beach at Panama city, our home, after us driving it from Chattanooga down waterway..hope t meet yall..!
It’ll need at least three to five oil flushes until oil in oil out , to get that water out of that engine, any water left in there , particularly salt water will corrode internals fairly quickly and shorten the life of it. Cheap oil flushes every 15-20 mins, then put in a good oil.
Similar thing happened to my boat in RI during one of those storms late October. It was probably the same storm! My mooring dragged so close to shore. Was in about 4’ of water and boat has a 3.5’ draft. Mooring line ripped off the bow chocks and pulpit. Somehow didn’t break free luckily, but very close.
I would be very concerned of having a blown exhaust manifold gasket. Water had to get into the engine somehow. Good luck on your trip at least you have two engines.
if this were me with my luck i would have bent a rod on the first crank of a hydro locked motor....and then if i ever did get it running all the bearings would have been wrecked from having just an ounce of saltwater in the oil. it is incredible that this thing is running.
U are blessed Gus please never take this blessing as a nothing will ever happen now but u lucked out gus u should get your ass in nearest place of prayer and say a few words to your maker
So with wind speeds picking up you didn't feel it was prudent to maybe lay out another mooring line just incase ??????????????? You being the Big time able bodied seaman you are ?
hey josh ibought 1988 hyatt 40, same engines , seems run preety well, ben fixxing some rain water leaks goin take my son down waterway from tn to panma city.. go ling fishing ..off the beach , what make an model is your boat, .have learned alot wathing your vid.s thanks i paid bout -30k..bout what did you pay for hyours ,thanks again..!
That oil is really milky it's been inundated with water you're a mechanic you know that as well as anyone else the question I have is is that diesel engine salvageable
That was some luck. I have seen 2 boats that had that had something similar and one had the rudder, stuffing box and shaft seriously damaged but no leaking and the other leaked through the rudder and cutlass bearing tube that the shaft runs through.
When the boat was planted on the marsh, the waves were smashing into the stern where the water worked its way up through the exhaust and into the turbo, through the turbo into the exhaust manifold and through whatever exhaust valves just so happened to be open at the time, into the cylinders where it slowly seeped past the rings.

It’s crazy that you got out of that situation without more damage but luckily those marsh grass banks are very muddy and forgiving

Always use a anchor bridle. Spread the load over 2 cleats versus 1 cleat.
Very true. I am in the process of replacing my Hybrid Rhode with a Full chain Rhode, and ill start using a bridle
@@InTooDeepBro were you able to find a replacement cleat? That thing was mangled!

Well done mate, you got yourself a great boat truely inspirational for anyone thinking about following suit 👍

I am totally surprised but keep checking for surprises each time you run it.
God bless you guys! Fair winds and following seas gentlemen.
which god?
@@pt5878 There's only one.
Great videos, you guys were moored next to me in Ipswich Bay, “Mirabelle”, 31’ Blue Seas Cummins 6BT, dreaming of what you guys accomplished!
So awesome!! I hope to see you this summer!
You picked a Great Boat there. After all that, I'd feel confident going just about anywhere with it‼️🚢⚓
Right! I said the same lol

That’s an amazing story. Too bad you didn’t film the “de-grounding”. That would have been epic! Good luck, you have a new follower!
That went better than I expected. Thank you for the video.
I would keep checking that oil condition daily for a least a couple of weeks.
You were extremely lucky all the way around. Poseidon was definitely smiling on you.
Hi from Maine. All the best to you! We drive our boat to the Keys to fish from Mid April-Mid May.
Best boat name backstory ever!
Just found you. watched a few episodes, and am getting hooked, seems like I am watching the wonderful start of another Endless Summer (Tula's)!
Those trawlers are industrial! Serious bits of kit!
Nice, the tractor. Thought you dug it out. Tough engine, good design.
**Great Adventures!**. Thanks for taking the time to capture them. Looking forward to making similar trips. If you ever need anything and you’re in the Chesapeake area or venture up to Lake Champlain - just ask….

That's one tough boat. Congrats on getting it back in the water.
My Boat Ran Itself Aground. love it
Wonder if the trenches are still there! Good work Gus!
Change the oil in that engine atleast 2 more times
when in doubt...throttle out !! * thumbs up to ya from Lake George, NY
First timer here! Man! Just saw your vid! Wow, and I'm now a new follower. 👍👍
So unlucky, and yet lucky! Keep a keen eye on the head-gasket though.🧐
Oh shit, what a nightmare. We had a storm here too last weekend and it felt good that my boat (about the same size as yours) is in winter storage indoors on land in that kind of weather.
Watch for possible bent rods, the starter can bend them while hydro locked
So what did you do pop the injectors and then turn the engine over to blow out all the moisture out of the cylinders? Have a great day
A lucky boat well done.xx

Ipswich Neil
Holy cow...You young man have this 58 yr old Army Vets respect!! Why cant your entire generation be clones of you??!!🤣
You need to buy good anchor lines and deck lines. At least 5/8” anchor line, 300’, two anchors.
I think you are going to give her a new name. "Lucky One" And you have already treated her to a nice oil change. Thanks for sharing. M
But changing the name of a boat is bad luck, even if you change it to “Lucky One”.
Miracle. Don't push your luck bro.
Great job getting that out.
awesome man! i have a 30' SeaRay. it however had the ford gas engines that were not installed correctly or maintained. rest of boat was nice. i kept her in the hilsborough river 1/4 mile from tampa bay for 6 years till i pulled her home and put on blocks for the re power. fla is a great place for your boat. lots of opportunities here. but it cost a fortune to moore . 10$ a foot for just a tie up , no shore power or live aboard. those places are all gone.
By itself, or was there help from whoever was at the helm?
Did you leave it unattended on the mooring ball ? If so with 60 knot gusts forecast I would have been on board doing anchor watches
Earlier in the summer I stayed on the boat for 3 days on mooring during a "Hurricane" and never saw more than 25kts. I watched the forecasts for this one very closely and it was forecasted as 20kts out of the NE, 25kt gusts... looking back I should had stayed on the boat!
I just found your u tube page . I am in Ipswich bay all summer wish seen this earlier I would have helped. keep up the good work !
Amazing area! I will be back in the spring!
Yeah you bought yourself a tank of a boat and I'm glad you got yourself off that marsh
When you own a boat, especially when it is in the water, you should always know and prepare for serious weather.
Whew that's sure one strong boat. Hope all goes well.
I'd invest in a lot of new 1in nylon dock and moring lines. Also, get a heavy anchor, with an additional 50ft of chain. You've got a large, heavy, and tall boat, which will catch the wind, and create a lot of windage against a dock line or anchor line. Stay safe, it always happens when you least expect it! Thanks
Great information! Its great to see all of the positive comments who have great intentions
Great job, we live in TAMPA BAY hope to see you
Was gonna say “gotta dive on your mooring balls never trust them” yatta yatta then I saw your cleat hahahaha that’s wild
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Suggest a couple Captain's chairs for the fly bridge 👌 🏄
That was awesome! Good job on the save.
Just found your channel. Very entertaining!
How far did it drift from the mooring it broke from?
one tough boat , the tractor! The 'kin TANK!!
Change the oil and let it run for a while, the engines running temperature should evaporate any water left.
I'm 71..bought old 40' hyatt with same cummins engines..thanks pardner. Liking your vid.s. ,, what year an make is your boat josh..hope mines that tough..!

Subscribed. Cool vids man. Was planning on sailing south too, but missed the cutoff for 2021. Doing the same trip as you around April.
Oh man. That late October storm was a good one. Surprised us all with a misleading wind forecast. Thank you for the support!
OMG dude! that's friggin' unreal!! So glad it turned out for you though! Wowza! I'm sure that would have happened to me! :) Never give up!
I would be very concerned of having a blown exhaust manifold gasket. Water had to get into the engine somehow. Good luck on your trip at least you have two engines.
Water came in through the exhaust Outlets at the stern
The engine would've had to be underwater for water to enter the head through a faulty exhaust gasket. And an extremely faulty one at that.
You DID, get lucky! What is the fuel consumption please?👍☘️
She burns 4GPH @ 1300RPM 8Kts
if this were me with my luck i would have bent a rod on the first crank of a hydro locked motor....and then if i ever did get it running all the bearings would have been wrecked from having just an ounce of saltwater

350 hours later and its running like a top. Cummins power!

You should name it Sea Plow it definitely plowed through the marsh.
Wow. It's a good thing that marsh was a lot of mud so that it didn't damage the running gear. Just wow!

Pretty amazing... backing out of that marsh. Do you now have towboat us coverage? Its well worth the ~$140.
I have Seatow and BoatUS memberships, neither were willing to help with this situation!! I was disappointed..
@@InTooDeepBro its like insurance scam they cover 15 % or less when you thought you were going to be okay
I am TOTALLY impressed!
Nothing beats good luck, does it?
Well, that was down right brute force? Seem like it landed on the right spot however!!
are those 6b cummins?
Yes sir!
What boat is this? Year , model?
Rock on stay safe and enjoy the ride
That oil is really milky it's been inundated with water you're a mechanic you know that as well as anyone else the question I have is is that diesel engine salvageable
Absolutely, running perfect to this day!
I've been watching Gustavo's videos in reverse order I guess, this one was quite an ordeal
how much do you want for it?
You boys are gladiators
You are one lucky man.
That’s the craziest story I’ve seen
Wow….lucky DOGS!
Such a nice Yacht
Hey you just gave your engine a much needed internal salt water flush, they charge big bucks for that at the boat yard.
I know how this feels ,hope you get her off OK
.
So lucky she didn't get washed up on the rocks.
Better check thouse transmissions too if the motors got flooded so can the trans.
Greetings from.Safe Cove:)
How will you inspect the hull?
That was some luck. I have seen 2 boats that had that had something similar and one had the rudder, stuffing box and shaft seriously damaged but no leaking and the other leaked through the rudder and cutlass bearing tube that the shaft runs through.
I think you should name the boat Not Deep Enough...lol
Buy the book Chapman Piloting & Seamanship. It has all the information you will need to equip and operate your boat. It’s well worth the price.
Wow hope you bought a lortty ticket after that, you sure dodged a bullet there without a doubt
God bless your living my dream
why did the engine take on water?
When the boat was planted on the marsh, the waves were smashing into the stern where the water worked its way up through the exhaust and into the turbo, through the turbo into the exhaust manifold and through whatever exhaust valves just so happened to be open at the time, into the cylinders where it slowly seeped past the rings.
@@InTooDeepBro ok thanks good luck
