Hard to believe you beach a boat like that, then push it off with a dozer and load it on the trailer with no damage.

The locals are saying it went on the trailer with no problems. There was no dozer.....you couldn't fit anything wider than a D6 through the gate on Sunshine. I know that area fairly well and all things considered I can't think of a smarter better way to a safe ending than what was done.

I didn't take the bait, (seen to many of Ratmans replies ) but still curious how it got removed.

Obviously this story had a happy ending… Somebody on that boat must've really use their head during what must have been a very stressful situation....

You make it sound like they would remove the escape hatch, pull it off the beach, then proceed to tow it till it filled with water and then claim salvage. Not that I've ever seen anything close to resembling that on video. Just a wild thought.


Agree with the happy ending and fast thinking
