Loader Flipping a boat

[RobertBrown]

:duh:

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?

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.....

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!

OMG! This thread has gone nearly viral!

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

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. :-(

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

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

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.

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.
