This enterprise puts together things that are dear to me: Maine, logging, and boats! I would love to talk to you all about lake log salvage!

That's a great setup you've got, don't listen to the naysayers. Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care, David

You did well! You found a niche that (I'm guessing) nobody else ever thought to exploit. Keep it up, and work fast and hard. Eventually, if everything works out well, you'll see other people doing the same thing. Best wishes.

I usually don't watch things like this, but I found this fascinating--great job! BTW--this is Nell, the wife.

This guy dropped some serious money on this boat!!

I watched with great interest. I worked on the Scott Paper log drive from 1972 to 1976. Did you find any boom logs? Sinkers and dead heads were the worst when driving the rivers and streams (Kennebec, LazyTom, Roach). They were like torpedoes underwater in the current, and would knock you off your feet. It made for some interesting times trying to keep ones feet on the bottom and ones head above water... I bet my great grandfather may have seen some of those old.logs you dragged up. Spencer Bay must have a mother load of wood on the bottom! Your video brought back some good memories from my wayward youth!

That was very interesting sir and cool to see going to share with my sons.

Enjoyed your video and work done very much, Thanks ! Simon in France

Awesome photos. The picture showing all the cuts boards was like looking in a candy store! Thanks for sharing

such an amazing concept to use what was once lost

Baddass Maine ingenuity at its finest!!!

Truly amazing!!!

that is just AMAZING.

Great video thanks. No music loop many thanks

Pulled logs from that same spot about 12yrs ago remember that take out location. myself guy from Ny and one local you probably know or heard of.

Must have been a big investment. I do tree work for a living and I got a woody....Very cool job.

Thats awesome!!

Does someone have to go over the side to connect your retrieval line to the logs?

Humm ! I just noticed the post date of 2012, The State probably has already put him out of business ?

Questions: how they end up there on the bottom, how long they been (1800s?!)?The water preserves them well?How much is one average large log worth?
