My wife and I just stopped by Black Point (SunTex) Marina on our way back from Cudjoe Key. It was quiet at the ramp - a windy Friday afternoon. The guard working the ramp was super polite and informative. I’ll bet they have a thankless job.

Funny That..I just home from my local boat ramp in Sydney Australia where a 4wd didn't stop going down the ramp and needed a recovery vehicle to pull it out. Get home and here is Alfred telling me the same thing happened there..LOL.

I always love seeing freds dinner walk into the water!🤣🤣🤣

“Freddie the foot remover” is looooong!!! I would NEVER stick my feet in Freddie’s food bowl. Love your funny humour “ Alfreddie”.😂😂😂😂 Blub, blub, blub-a-dub-dub.

On every vehicules theres a park release. On cars its like the guy said, theres usually a little hole cover, pretty small that you pop open and stick a key in to release the shifter lock and be able to put it in N. However, on trucks, in 80% of models you gotta go under the truck and on the tranny or near it you'll have the release. Every vehicule has a release. Finding it sometimes can be the challenge and unfortunately manufacturers dont tell you there is one or where it is. Every tow driver should know about the shift releases. But if you have the tow boss that doesn't know anything about cars, he won't teach it to others. All that to say they all have a release. A literal 10 second google search could've told you on the spot. Then again, tow dude probly doesn't give 2 F about it and truck is most likely totaled like my man said.

Truck is a total loss. And the recovery driver will NOT get under the truck on a slick ramp while it's only held by a winch to save a scrap drive train. In three days anything that is completely flushed will be a corroded lump,

If you buy polarized sunglasses and temporarily put them in front of your camera lens, it will see straight through the reflection at Fred. Cheap and effective. They also make polarizing filters to screw on the front of any good camera lens. If they want to be safe entering the water, they should buy a fish or two, cut it up and have you feed Fred a piece every 30 seconds to a minute over at his feeding station. Even Fred can't be in two places at once.

@@donsgotmoney The engine isn't the issue, tbh. It's salt water. That's going to mess up computers, sensors and corrode electrical connections wherever they were submerged. It'll cause hassles forever. Not worth the bother trying to save it as a vehicle, better to salvage for mechanical parts that can be properly cleaned.

Alfred, well done, from a Montanan ! Montaner,,❤

It’s great that our video guy knows so much about all this. 🤣
