Just thought of something.....Maybe he could talk to the land owner on the west side of the river????? I did see a pickup, over the weekend, right close to where the boat is.......maybe a pull from that side would loosen it from the log/rootball.......then it could be pulled to the east side of the river....
Heck, they might even be able to pull it right up the bank, on the west side of the river........or enough to get water out and float it down to the launch.......just a thought...

You do not have to pull the boat all the way to the beach. A gear driven come-along, a couple shots of haywire and a tree/log jam/big rock is all that is needed. Pull from the up stream side and take your time. If you pull too fast the boat will only be usefull to the tweakers. Getting the boat hooked up is the tough part, even if it is only 3ft deep.
I think a truck or truck winch would pull to fast and the boat would be folded up like a beach towel when finished.

I'd be willing to lend a helping hand to recover the boat. Tonight's rain should stabilize the flow.
I could run my skiff up there in the morning, after work. PM for my cellular.

Just stay to the "EAST" of the big concrete block......both drift and jet boaters.....yesterday there was about 1' to 2', of the block, showing.
They worked on trying to get the boat out, yesterday......no could do, just in a tough place to try and "get a angle" to pull from the shore. They did try from the West side of the river but the rope on the front of the drift boat broke. Land owner doesn't want any trucks in there, because it might make a mess, with the frozen ground thawing....and then the tree its "hung up on" is causing problems.
Just looked at the water flow......going up, 1100 to 1500..... just will make it tougher to work to try and get a larger rope/cable on the boat.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

I guess the dude got his boat out yesterday. Oar locks bent, minor rash along the gunnels , but still in pretty good shape. So he lost some gear and an oar, but the boat is out, and nobody got killed, so the outcome could have been much worse.
