A great safe operation that’s for sure guys. Love to see that the boat lives to see more adventures, it’s a beautiful boat 👍🏻👍🏻Well done to all involved.

I use to live in Lake Placid NY and loved seeing these old wooden beauties blast up and down the lake. There was a business there that restored these boats. Hope this one was salvaged!

Love all the comments of “easy repair”..

easy repair and it will be as good as new , but they should do a total rebuild and it will become better than when it was built , so glad it was saved

To make it simple, tie a heavy rope around the base of the boat. Attach the 4 air bags directly to that rope so they stay as low as possible. The boat will rise up above the water line. Tow it to a boat ramp, pump the water out of the boat and pull it onto a trailer. That boat is in bad shape and has been down there awhile.

Great job

I was wondering if they had hit a floating log to punch a hole in the bottom to sink it. After seeing how the planking burst at the chine, I imagine the original hole was just from slapping the water while motoring around, then sinking it. It's been three years now, so maybe they have restored it.

if you do a lot of small boat recovery. you may want to invest in some 4 or 6" flex hose... and probably 10 feet of similar sized PCV or ABS pipe.. and a 90 ell and a 45 ell.. place a 2 foot piece of pipe between the 45 and 90.. the long piece of straight into the 90.. and the flex hose into the 45.. if you throw this siphon set up over the side of the cockpit or engine bay.. as long as you have installed it and purged it of air before you lift the boat slightly above water.. it will self start a siphon and really empty the hull fast.. you can put a clean out fitting in the 2 foot long piece between the elbows.. to allow you to purge the air.. you could do this with just a single 90 ell.. with the straight pipe dangling and the flex pipe into the bilge.. what to use for flex tubing.. 20 bucks at homedepot.. www.homedepot.com/p/FLEX-Drain-4-in-x-25-ft-Solid-Polypropylene-Pipe-52110D/202745403 how fast will a 4" hose siphon the water out of a bilge..

all that work polishing those fixtures on top of a boat with rotten planks under the waterline.

My great grandpa built boats near the River edge well before it was made back when it was a pancake hose if i remember wright. I use to get rides in the Riot delivering news papers in the 60's. If i remember wright Hutchinson worked for the Duclon's in the early to mid 1900's.

That is a cool old boat

That's so awesome

Awesome how she sat perfectly flat on the bottom

That shit’ll buff out.

You know why pirates are so mean? They just ARRRRRR.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada how much would this recovery cost from start to finish and what paper work is required thanks for the presentation

I remember seeing this boat some 20 years ago in Alexandria Bay, New York. Thousand Islands region. It was built by the Hutchinson boat yard. Hence the name. (also it looked like furniture)

@edduda3

Wow, I bet she was a jewel! Sadly the bottom was completely rotten. Hopefully she is being rebuilt.

So what happened to the boat? I have watched quite a few of these boat salvage videos and information always gets real sketchy about who owns what, who pays what and what becomes of these boats after the cameras are turned off.

Turn up your volume so we can hear you better

Did it hit a iceberg?

So where does my boat sank fit into the old saying of “the best days of boat ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it”?

10:08 Nothing like gaping holes in the hull to provide good drainage! Did you also pick up any of that garbage visible at 1:29?

You should give Carter bags a try. Just a suggestion.

Went to high school with friend last name Hutchinson. Nick name , Hutch..52 years ago hope still afloat.

That is where my wooden boat leak, yeah it sank, but the ropes saved it from the bottom.

That boat is toast

I think that split was caused by lifting it too fast and not supporting the bottom. The weight of the water just pushed the bottom away from the sides. You can tell the water was high up in the hull because it was pouring out of the vents at the rear. The wood might have been rotten too, which would not have helped.

What a shame such a beautiful boat I do hope she's salvageable their some awesome boats if properly cared for.

Stevie wonder could have done a boat survey and seen that coming. Looks like somebody slathered an epoxy coating over compromised wood.

Dose any one know the circumstances of how it ended up on the bottom? I am pretty sure that was Louis Wisinski's boat. His was called the "Hutch" with the siren on the bow and the round LW plaque on the bow.

What caused it to sink? Was Captain Morgan at t helm?

Hey Ed, I think I dived with you on Lake George a few years ago, I hired you as a dive master for the day. Since all I had was warm salt water dive experience, we guessed on my weights and when I hit the thermocline I started sinking fast into the abyss, in The Narrows somewhere. Hope you’ve been well.

I have not been in Lake George but I have heard it does have a pretty good thermocline. The narrows?? now that sounds like the St. Lawrence... which I swim regularly. Hope your still getting wet!!

Would like to see this one fixed

I wonder if some plywood screwed over the hole would have allowed you to pump out the boat while it was still on the water? Seems like you wouldn't wanna lift a boat when it's filled with water, the bottom may come out of any boat, much less one with rot. Select sizes of plywood with screws partially driven in, and a cordless drill that works under water........

I’ve bodged bigger holes with a couple of tubes of Sikaflex!!!

That’s so sad. That’s history right there sad to see it in that condition

Hard to believe owner wasnt aware the waterline was in that condition.

Can we get an update? Seeing this four years later.

Shes a beautiful boat

OUCH! That poor boat, I hope it got fixed up and back into the water!

Give us more details. Was the boat surveyed recently?

How long was it on the bottom for? Did you find it by chance or did it belong to a friend of yours? Do you have to jump through any hoops to keep it or is it straight up finders keepers.

if it's just the bottom boards it's probably worth saving but if the ribs and the keel are gone then build another and use bits off this.
