About the large round concrete structure aka batch plant: “This structure is 15 feet deep and 110 feet across, and was used as a settling basin for the sediment-rich Colorado River water during the construction of Hoover Dam in the 1930s”
I remember when I was in my early 20's, my Father and I were fishing in his boat and we floated over the top of that cement structure, we had no idea that there was anything like that under us, it was in 1983.

Wow... Imagine looking down from a boat when that thing was under 5 feet of water. The fact that it was submerged at one point is just insane.

@@RemoteTrooper That was my question. I've watched a lot of these vids. and that shot from the round thing, knowing it should be underwater gives the best reference to how low the lake is, that I've seen. Damn, no pun intended, that lake is on the way out. We should be thankful for the 80 years of use. 1983 was the fullest the lake has been since filling it.
the tank was used as a treatment tank for the river water. if the water level drops the train tracks and other structures as well as 3 agergate piles will be visible
your suv with the boat on top is awsome! what a set up man i love it
Dude check out merlin old skool garage him ad fab rats just rescued a jet boat from lake powell and got it running after sitting at the bottom for 30 years
I went camping there circa 1971 with my parents bought their first huge camper. I do remember people building wooden floats sending em or towing the floats loaded with fire works and huge firecrackers. The folks did it quite a bit too day & night.
That was so much fun. It's weird to see a boat graveyard up in the hills. I like your little boat. Thank you William.☮️💖🎶
Thank you sir for another trip to the lake 👍🏻 🙋🏼
Man great explore. Thanks for sharing it with us.
thank you for taking us along . love snooping with you 😎
Thanks for sharing & so glad it wasn't a ☠️. The mixing plant for the Dam is super cool with the boat wrecks 🎬💯👍. Happy New Year 🥂👊Salute 😎
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing 😊
those first two engines are Ford Y Blocks

Another great vid, Thanks! Hope u had a great Xmas!
Fun stuff. Thanks! 👍👍👍👊😎
Nice tour, thank you!!!
The fact they made a law that prevents us Americans from recording our state parks which mind you is public land at the end of the day is so bizarre but I wouldn’t put past this admin. Now I get it if your filming a movie. But a dude with a go pro…. Come on!

If others can camp and deficate in the streets, commit crimes against people and businesses with no repercussions then you shouldn't have a problem operating a camera on God's green earth. Next thing you know they'll be telling you when you can take your next breath.
Another fantastic explore.
Beautiful sunset thanks for the great video
Excellent video I appreciate you
That's a good looking truck and set up 👍
Nice job dude.
In 1986 I took my DEEP water SCUBA test on that batch plant! It was 150ft under water! Now it's on top of a hill!! Crazy! The boat is the Tortuga. It was a great dive site back in the 80's and 90's. Can't remember the other boats name?
beautiful video, very nice 👍
Those interceptor manifolds came from Osco Motors in Souderton Pennsylvania not to far from where I live.

I think maybe old Chris craft boat?
FabRats had unbelievable luck with the one they saved, may you be as lucky...they even found the original owner, think they gave it back! Good luck!
The first time I saw that concrete structure was a video that Adventures with the Todd Father did. It was awhile back so the water was up quite a bit higher.
You thought a piece of foam was a skull 😂
Go look for FabRats or Merlin’s old school garage and see the Yellow submarine episode and see the guys take a 30year jet bait under lake mead and get it going again.

They recovered that boat out of warm creek bay on lake Powell
Almost had a Wreck of the Edmund Remote Trooper back then.
At 9:10 I think that's a human thigh-bone in the middle of the picture!🤣
That second twin engine boat looked real old but one engine had a modern alternator on it. I was a little surprised. I haven't been to that lake since the summer of 1982. We spent a lot of time on it. Sure looks different now.
Nice video
You know, I thought this vlog was going to be crap, but I was actually entertained. good job. at least now we know what that junk is. That water looked really clean. Thanks for sharing.
Low key I was hoping that was a skull 😆
The second boat looks like it has jet drives
I look forward to your videos. That concrete structure is cool to see, plus your interest in the old engines makes me start googling. Your matte black Trooper looks kickass. Cheers!
Have they found any automobiles? Seems some of the more perplexing missing persons cases get solved when sonar in a waterway detects a vehicle.
Gets dark quick once the sun goes behind those mountains.
I think it would so cool if your boat drifted away and you had to go Gilligan's island for a few months
Love these videos mate. I always feel like I’m there. I have 2 minor constructive suggestions for you; why not introduce yourself so we know your name and find sunglasses that fit properly without the need to be pushed up your nose constantly. 👍
That is so weird to see above water!!! 1998 or 99 I scuba dived and swam through that structure.
Definitely feeling lucky I get to see a new update about lake mead before it is removed or this guy gets charged with illegal filming!

National. Park I.e. public land. And the Commies say no filming.??? What a crock,
Strange how two twin engine boats have sunk not far from each other plus other boats. Must be a spot where weather and waves played a major factor in their demise.
That second boat that you found looks like it burned. Probably why it sank.
Anybody that's been to Hemmingway a bunch of times knows that's the old concrete batch plant ruins.
Have you seen the video of boat that was under water for 30 years in lake mead. They took it cleaned it up fixed the engine and put it back on the lake and it ran perfect. They found the owner of the boat and gave it back to them.

Would love to go back out there and walk a lot of it
Plot twist: Somebody saw the other video then ran out and swapped the skull with a look a like foam replacement...🤔
Sweet video brother.. And cool boat man.. totally portable! Any ways i need to figure out what to do about filming.. I dont wanna file for a permit and pay non-refundable fees.. what did you decide to do? I need to make more videos but im just marooned about what i can or should do..

You should try to.get the engines you found to start.
those engines are Y block Fords used in cars and trucks 54-62, oil filer sticks out from the side of the block.
So did some under water elves like dismantle the entire boat ?! 😂 why is it scattered in pieces !
I'm just curious how much that boat weighs

As a retired mechanic I have to say... those 2 old engines had generators not alternator... you can tell by the length.. so had to be from the 50s or 60s roughly
Cool good vid. Moter is electric. Engine is combustion.

So when do the park rangers whip out the uzis and blow you away when you are out filming with out a permit ?
believe that is part of the concrete batch plant
My family and I used to dive down to that cement Then we used to dive off of it and swim and a tunnel that went into the middle of it Now what's up on the island it's crazy I've been on meat in 7 years Now what's up on the island it's crazy I've been on mead in 7 years
When poking around the sunken boat you didn’t happen to find any guns? I lost all mine in a terrible boating accident and was a total loss.
Crazy how many vessels sink
Why did you just kick the compressor and not pick it up to clean a little bit
Do you have a permit to exercise your freedom? I heard that was needed now.
How much hp power of motor in the boat?

My wife worked with a group that documents the B-29. It not so deep now. There is snow in the Colorado Rockies. Water is coming soon.
Wtf is happening to the water?
I thought the government put a ban on filming there and sharing the videos?
The Ford interceptor, they intercepted all of the bad parts and put them into those engines they had a really bad reputation on the great lakes.
why didnt you clean up that AC compressor ??????????

It’s illegal to remove anything without a permit
Check out FadRats you tube channel. They found a 20 ft jet boat that was at the bottom of Lake Powell for thirty years. Where able to get the motor cleaned up and it started, then fixed up the boat a little and returned it to the family that lost it.
Im really surprised since you mentioned there are so many people digging around at the lake and touching just about everything that the boat with the nose sticking straight up STILL has both engines. Now, obviously those are not going to be rinsed off and fired up, but I'm betting both of those, if disassembled and cleaned, reringed and honed they would run again with some work. Its hard believe in todays world that they are still there because people have little respect for the illusion of what they are and where they came from, people are just not that way anymore, but it still surprises me because with little effort they could have been dug out of the boat and eventually rebuilt.
curious since the water is so low they aren't cleaning up all the garbage and old boats

Sad trombone music - not a skull.
Just a suggestion. I think you should get a boat/water loving dog such as a Lab. to go along with you. It would sniff out and see things you would never notice. Most out doors type people love dogs so it would make your content even more interesting.
Cool beans, yup, looked like a skull. our brains are hard wired to see faces, alas, just foam. thanks.
Sewer treatment plant is what the structure is.
I WOULD SAY THAT ONE BOAT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNT DOWN TO THE WATER LINE MAKING IT VERY UNSTABLE COMING TO PEICES GOING DOWN
