Loader Flipping a boat

[simoutdoors]

Get a couple little kids and tell them they can play in the boat BUT don't spill any water out.

As a parent of a 4 & 6 year old this one gets my vote.

Hang a big fluffy cotton bath towel over the stern with one end on the ground, the other in the water. If it doesn't rain again the boat should be empty within 30 days......

Get a hose and place one end in the boat and the other end a little lower than the hull. Suck as hard as you can and watch the magic..

With the threat of West Nile Virus all over the map. I'd get that water out pronto. why does a bucket come to mind.

Is there an "East Nile Virus" for the folks on the other side of the river, or do they just have to do without?

What if ShenandohaJoe is actually a Joanne? Then what card are you going to take away?
As far as the boat goes......Fill it up with rocks and displace the water.

That way, you can use your tractor!

Sort of like the crow did with the bottle:cool2:....crows are so smart, man they are 1 smart bird :thumbsup:. They say you can teach them to speak. There you go.... ask a crow.

Hey mister crow........How do I get this water outta ma boat?

Now this whole thread has to do with using the Front End Loader, aka FEL. I could see loading the rocks into the boat with the FEL ........ you'd get a few dents etc, but nothing too severe. HOWEVER .......... removing those same rocks with that same equipment could produce some interesting results. Have we determined yet if the boat is to be considered usable after the exercise, or is it to be the "sacrificial object lesson tool" for FEL practice?

I vote for using the FEL to carry the siphon hose from the shop to the garge. The question would be do you just put it in the bucket or change out to the forks and wrap the hose for more secure transport.

 

[Baby Grand]

Use your backhoe to bail it out, one bucketfull at a time.
Don't have a backhoe? Now you have another good reason to get one.

OMG! This thread has gone nearly viral!

This is the water removal thread, the next thread will be rock removal.....As if holding rocks is not a use.


It's a ROCKIN use!

Actually, what he needs to do is build a lake with an island that has the boat (with the water in it and the rocks) as a landscape feature.....

 

[biker4jc]

I have it, Use the backhoe to build a lake around the boat with the boat on the island ........... yeah ......... another reason to get a backhoe!

I believe the West Nile Virus was mentioned earlier, and a question posed about an East Nile Virus ............ I guess that's viral.

Oh Brother. :duh:

 

[ShenandoahJoe]

You all are hilarious. Getting small children involved was pure genius.
If you'd like to know how it came out... The drain plug had been caulked shut many years ago. Four people managed to turn the boat over, but I'm still disappointed that I couldn't use my loader. :-(

 

[Toyboy]

Four people to turn it over ....... or one person/kid with a bucket. Hmmm, somethings wrong with this picture... what am I missing?

 

[Tig]

Joe, you are a real sport and an example to us all. Thanks for putting up with all our "creative" suggestions.
Happy boating!

...The drain plug had been caulked shut many years ago...

Next question, How to remove the drain plug?

Must use tractor so I would do what was suggested earlier and use the bale spear, but a drill would work too.

 

[Domush]

Seeing as the boat is aluminum, you can light a bonfire around the boat and boil the water out.

Better yet, add some potatoes, onions, celery, carrots and some spices and invite the neighborhood over for dinner.
