As a Life long Whole Boat mechanic, I've have been involved in raising many sunk boats using many different methods, But never has it been so simplified! all this time all we needed was a canoe and a comealong! who knew! Thanks for the Enterianing content! Keep it Up!

Most people cannot stand up in a canoe without tipping it over, you managed to stand up in yours and hoist an 75 lb gas powered pump in and out without tipping over. Kudos to you my friend. Kudos to you!

I actually liked watching this one. Gives the channel more diversity. Good video.

A little fiber glass, some clear coat and an LS swap. You have a rat rod boat! Lol!!

Your more capable then most people I've met. You raised a boat out of the water with nothing more then a chain a pump and some good old hard work.

Helping everywhere he can help... Thanks for just being "you" Isaac.

Looking forward to the “Will it run?” Video 😂😂

At the exact moment Issac said "There's something eerie about a sunken boat" scenes from Jaws had popped into my head

I throughly enjoyed this video Isaac. Pretty much just showing that you are a genuine kind of guy with regular problems like the rest of us.

Working alone, trying to film, in cold water, trying to salvage that old boat? Good work!

Not gonna lie, you're usually one of the channels I catch up on later in the day to wind down with, but if you're trying your hand at marine salvage I'm watching it now at 6am with my cereal.

Loving the content Isaac!!!! Can’t wait to see what happens to the boat!!

Reminds me of that children’s book “Whose boat is this boat?“ 🤣😂🤣😂

It's cold, ...... MAJOR SHRINKAGE! 🤣

I used to work for a guy that did water recovery in the winter. When a truck or ice shack would fall through the ice we would take her back out. Its not fun. Mistakes can easily be made if there isnt a well thought out plan in place. Even then, the plan rarely comes together the way it is supposed to. That being said Isaac, excellent work!!

Any time you show us something different we Learn something more, “it’ll be fine“ great video Thank you for all your hard work

Hey... we have 100 channels that show someone fixing up an old car... How many channels show someone refloating a sunken boat? 2 big thumbs up! Keep up the good work!

If the boat was any bigger Ike would've taken the pump's governor off, put in new valve springs, and installed a mikuni to make this job faster.

I laughed at you so hard when you got in that cold water, but you got it done! Yay! I love your lake set up. I'm sure it is so wonderful living there. I would go fishing and swimming all the time♡

Different but equally entertaining ..you should charge the owner of the boat a salvage fee 🤔 if you can find them lol

Can't wait to see whats next with this boat and the center console you got too. Id love to have that other boat. This one is super rough. Great job!!!

Cool video isaac! No need to apologize for it not being a car video!

Kudos to you for wading out in Gator Territory, Water Moccasins, and Leeches, All just to move an old boat. I'd sneak that thing over to the nearest public dock and park it in the middle of the night, they'll impound and dispose of it properly. It's your tax dollar, may as well use it to clean your area. 👍

Interesting to see the old Ouachita canoe! Back in high school, my buddies and I had a 1966 Quachita pop-up camper. Seeing that Indian head logo brings back memories.

I am freaking amazed. You have a real genious skill for solving unique engineering challenges. Way to Go!

I am legitimately shocked that any of that worked! Talk about sketchy! But man, now I wanna see the rest of the saga haha

I like that you used the correct term . The front of your house faces the water . Still watching, believe it or not once the gunwale is above the water 5 gallon buckets brings boats very quickly. .yo still need to pump it to get it empty.

You OWN IT now, so get it in, strip it, and chop it up. GOOD one.

Given my sometimes vindictive nature, I'd be tempted to find the owner of the boat, tow it to their property, then pump it full of water and re-sink it for them. I'm glad you're a better person than me!

I was sure you were not prepared for recovery...Man was I wrong. I think the line holding it to that tree got really, really rotten and it went downstream. wink

Can't wait to see the condition below the waterline when you haul it out. This will be an epic restoration project!

Awesome canoeing skills man I thought you were going over for sure!!!

5:00 "You know, there's something real eerie about sunken boats". I know what you mean. it doesn't matter how many times I do it, It gives me the creeps scuba diving near or around sunken boats. I think they're even creepier then. With that said, you are da man trying that all by your lonesome, and on a paddle boat! wow. Also, where the heck is John when you need him?!! LOL. Great content Ike! Mixing it up once in a while is a good thing. Cheers from PR

In the next episode. Isaac will build a hut from bamboo and palm fronds.

This was awesome, and couldn't have worked any better! Thanks for posting it, and show us more of the boat or demo process! Would be fun to see.

Good morning Isaac. Always looking for your videos. This Old Man was really happy meeting you and John at Lowes in Washington NC this week. John's Dad introduce me your channel some time ago. Love it. You two are so awesome. 🛵💝💝

So this is how Isaac floats his boat lol. And there it was Isaac shrimp company

when you got to the boat I could hear your heart beat lol

Man of many talents... And hard work... nice job bro... great work on your own...

Wouldn't mind more boating/water activities content. ✅

Every time I see a video like this, I immediately wonder about the story behind the boat!

I agree that sunken boats are eerie. I've always been creeped out by them. I think it's because of the sunken boat scene halfway through Jaws

Grit, guts, and determination! Great work.

Excellent display of determination and ingenuity! Bravo!

Don't mind seeing boats on here at all cant wait for the next episode.

Not a car video but still a good video : ) Thanks for taking us along. Look forward to seeing the removal and cut up... Careful in the canoe with that heavy water pump!

Way to go. Finally someone that wants to get worthless crap out of the water. Great job sir.

Super impressed by that! I can't believe it. As soon as you paddled over I thought to myself no way....

In its day, that was a very nice boat. It would take very deep pockets to restore it, but I enjoyed the video.

I definitely want a follow up on this please! This was cool

You know It would be sweet to see a video series on restoring/fixing this boat up. It's possible for you to claim a sunk boat that's been abandoned

Heck yeah I have no tolerance for people leaving abandoned boats in water way. Good job!

You need to do this on a day when the wind is blowing away from your house. Then just untie it and let it float away. Would not be the first time someone solved a similar problem that way.

Isaac's many adventures lol good to see I'm not the only one with really white legs.

Can’t believe I watched a rookie boat salvage video. Found out I was here for your follower comments. They’re obviously some of the best people on earth. Congrats on your YT page. You get another follow

I never quibble about success, however I'll give you my approach. A scuba regulator first stage (the tank end) makes the same pressure as a typical air compressor (125 - 140 PSI). So you adapt your compressor hose (with a quick disconnect and air chuck) to an old second stage regulator hose, and you now have a portable (even submersible) air compressor. The next step is to acquire a small assortment of automotive intertubes and rig them with loops of plastic rope with carabiner for quick attachment. For reference: One car size will lift a motor cycle, Two car size will lift a VW, Two car size (front bumper) + one truck (semi) size inside will lift an Econline Van and Four Car Size will lift a 9000 Lb hydroplane off the bottom (from 35 ft) of the Ohio river. While I never had a failure, note that the air will double in size for every 33 ft of lift so never add more air than is necessary to begin to lift. When the van got light to the touch, I just grabbed it off the bottom and with a heave, shoved it to the surface from about 25 feet (most bizarre sight ever). In your case, I would have made a sling out of two tubes and some plastic strap and centered them under the heavy end. Once floating, slowly tow it to a ramp or beech where a wrecker could pull it out. FYI...I have used these techniques about 40 times over the last 56 years.

this was a fun change of pace. and, it had a small engine involved so i think it still counts. that and a come-along

Well, keep us up to date on the fate of the boat. 👍

"It'll be fine," Isaac! Good job.

I've been building docks and seawalls in Florida since 1995, and sunken boats are eerie. I have never approached one by my self or with other people, that I didn't get that eerie sense of dread.

Crazy to say, but this is one of my favorite videos from you. This was super interesting to watch!

get it running!!! i really want to see more of this boat

All that work you should have already battled it to shore good job first boat salvage I've ever seen done from a canoe

Great job keeping the waterways clean even if it's not your mess 👍👍

Very impressive Isaac ! I think you should do more boat stuff ! This is my favorite Vid !!!

Great content I always enjoy anything constructive. keep up the good content.

Well done!! I felt it when you said sunk boats are eerie.

Nice job, helps keep the water way open & safe

that was something totally unexpected, have never seen that before, thought it was doomed to epic fail, maybe a gator or huge snake popping up to say Not Today, Isaac! But hey, it was definitely interesting! maybe pull the motor and see if you can make li fire up? Cool!

We're already looking forward to "The Rest of The Story"it'll be fine. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida

Loved the VLOG, it brings a whole new meaning to "float your boat"! Lol

Haynow... your a dam fine Stuart of the land & roll model for todays youth. Keep'm coming! Thank you from The North East.

When you say you bought a pump you weren’t kidding.

Get a spray can and write "SS MINNOW" on the side. Looks just like the boat on Gilligan's Island. 👍

Way to go Issac! You do what has to be done!

I think you could float it with your huge balls getting in that swamp dude 😳 fantastic vid well done 🙏👍

I knew you were gonna lose that chain when you hooked it like that.

If that was my yard, I would be out in that water every single day 😂

I bet the lower regions suffer lol 😂 I now it’s floating I was expecting you to move it ? Wanted to see more thanks for this video 👍👍👍👍

A canoe, I managed to tip one over all on my own. Good luck Had my doubts, personal version of raise the Titanic, impressive

The content was a nice change of pace. I'm laughing my ass off because you got back on the boat without putting shorts back on haha.

Great videos. When you find the leak, hit it up with some Flex Seal tape. ;)

Isaac.... this has been a GREAT episode! the accidental humor threw me over the edge. sorry for your inconvenience but your perseverance made it worth it. the cut back to your pants comming off and revelation you lost the chain, on top of already finding out you bought the wrong cable! dude you cant write better comedy!

Makes me think of that channel that just films boats passing in and out of the rough Haulover Inlet. Imagine seeing a junker like this trying it in rough sees. Would be a few million views on that if it got into difficulty!

I have never seen your channel before, KZfaq definitely has this in the algorithm! I would start a series on this boat if I was you. If it was for nothing more than the views!

This was a really good video wish it was Lil longer that was impressive and the time you took out ur day to do that 👏💯

I would have loved to see your face when you hit the water. LOL! Been there done that. Shallow water salvage. Ya gotta love it. Good job on the refloat. Cheers! Terry from South Carolina

nice boat float

Always wear a life jacket when the water is freezing cold. Someone I knew recently drowned in a kayaking accident. Your body goes into shock and you can’t swim

That's in your backyard? That's pretty sweet dude

A man with a plan. What's not to like? Good job.

Ike you never cease to amaze me. Respect 👊

I was waiting for a gator to surface when you jump in the water

That was the most entertaining thing I’ve seen! What are you going to do with the boat?

Wow Isaac...you really have a little slice of heaven on the water. Very kool place.

Good work , you fixet Super nice , best a man can do fix the problem 👍👍👍👍

I think you and John should revisit the amphibious gocart.

I was impressed with how well that worked out.

"Alright got to get the camera" love it man great job on the boat... keep up the good work and keep them video's coming...

Well done isaac, I didn't think that comealong would have moved the boat with the water in it,would have been a nice boat in its day
