This time around, it is the cooling system that needs some work. Regardless, this is probably one of the most beautiful boats I have towed and the owners are super nice as well! Besides the boat looking great, one of the best features I think is that it has a jet drive propulsion system, which allows this 36ft boat to draw only 18in. That’s less than my towboat draws when towing and the same as my shallowest operating depth with my engines trimmed all the way up!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the channel. Today, I've got an exciting update for you. Almost exactly a year ago, I towed this beautiful Hinckley when its steering went out. This time around, the cooling system needs some work. Despite these issues, this Hinckley remains one of the most beautiful boats I've had the pleasure of towing, and the owners are incredibly nice people.
This boat isn't just a looker; it's packed with impressive features. One of the standout aspects of this 36ft Hinckley is its jet drive propulsion system. This allows the boat to draw only 18 inches of water! That's less than my towboat when I'm towing and the same as my shallowest operating depth with my engines trimmed all the way up. It's amazing how such a large and luxurious vessel can navigate shallow waters so effortlessly.
In this video, I'll take you through the process of towing this magnificent Hinckley, discuss the issues it's facing, and highlight what makes it such a standout vessel. From its sleek design to its advanced propulsion system, this boat truly is a marvel.
Whether you're a boating enthusiast or just love seeing beautiful boats in action, you're in for a treat. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the video. And don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more boating adventures and towing stories!

That boat is deff at the top of the "Coolest I've Towed" list. edit: that cam on the top as you were going into the marina was a great shot. It's nice to see the overall picture of the environment you're in. Keep it up capt.

I agree, beautiful boat. Has a monk look to it. My kind of boat. I grew up on the B.C. coast. We had boats before cars. It was a nice way to start your growing years. Love your videos, Ken. Please keep them coming.

Hinckley boats are amazing. They are made not to far from where I grew up. I've been on a picnic yacht, it was an amazing boat. The joystick control was also a shocker.

@searay260sundeckforsale4 2 месяца назад

I just Googled an MSRP price for a 35 ft model and was taken aback.. 2021 and 2022 priced at 1.2 million... Ouch

@CaptKenO 2 месяца назад

Yep. Boats that good looking don't come cheap...😬 I want to say this was a 2003 model year, but even looking at used boats, they're around 250k

@chiphill4856 2 месяца назад

They were around $1M brand new when they first came out. I can't imagine today.

@EthosAtheos 2 месяца назад

@@chiphill4856 You can pick up a used on from the 1990s for between the low 200K to around mid 300Ks. Not an inexpensive way to enjoy the water. But if you have the means, I could think of worst things to own. The maintenance fees are going to be eye watering even by boat standards. On the plus side you'll probably be the only one with one in the marina.

I use you and your adventures on the job as an example to young men; do a fun job. Look around at the possibilities. Interesting outdoor work, same thing only different every day. Fresh air, bit of danger, lots of responsibility, Thanks from those your aid. And then you've branched out and are providing wonderfully entertaining video content. Family quality too! I grew up on the NW Coast Straights of San Juan de Fuca. Would be interesting to see the warm shallow waters of Florida.

@searay260sundeckforsale4 3 месяца назад

Gorgeous boat! On the other hand, the shallow draft affects how a boat handles rough conditions.. Always pros and cons :)

@CaptKenO 2 месяца назад

Depends more on the hull design...but for something like this, it only draws 18in because it doesn't have a prop and rudder hanging below the hull (or have a deep keel) as would be typical for this style boat. Seeing as this boat is design by a company in the northeast, I would actually bet it handles rougher seas pretty good

@searay260sundeckforsale4 2 месяца назад

@@CaptKenO From my personal observation, the deeper draft makes a boat sit in the water more firm / deeper which positively affects its ride in rough water.. That applies to my boats - the best riding one is my Formula with the 22 degree deadrise and 37 inch draft. But I never rode the jet boat and only assumed it would not have much to hold onto the water because of the jets, almost like a jetski jumping, but I don't have experience with this particular boat

@chiphill4856 2 месяца назад

A formula is made to run wide open offshore. This is a picnic boat, made for day trips, picnics, overnight within sheltered waters. Believe me it handles great. One of the first boats to have a joystick. Twin yanmar diesel jet drives and a bow thruster combine for great control. It is particularly well suited for its application. A prized possession for anyone.

Great job. No worries with the mistake. If you never mess up, you "Aren't" doing anything. Hard to believe the cooling system had an issue, the Yanmar power system is pretty reliable. I believe that has the Hamilton Jet-Drive system.

@CaptKenO 2 месяца назад

Thanks Jeffrey! I don't know what exactly was wrong with the system...but I know the old yanmar diesel boat I ran in Venice would drink coolant occasionally

@jeffreypinder9398 2 месяца назад

@nightlightsafetyproducts 2 месяца назад

Nice boat!

@vancity2349 3 месяца назад

Interesting one Cap. Surprised a boat like that, and it appears to be heavy has a jet drive. It could have been purposely build with such a low draft, and I dont what he has for power, but they generally suck a ton of fuel. We see them here in rivers often with low water...

@CaptKenO 2 месяца назад

Thanks Vancity! Jet drives are used on some really big and heavy boats for high speed and/or shallow operating conditions. Definitely not as fuel efficient as a prop though

You use those shift levers more in one day than the average pleasure boater in a year. Are the shifters a high maintenance item or are they a special kind of commercial shifter?

@CaptKenO 2 месяца назад

Hahaha. That we do! Nope. They're the standard shifters. Nothing special about them. No idea what the expected life of them is, but I'm sure it's significantly shorter

@dylanberns 2 месяца назад

What’s your tow speed? I’ve always been curious on that everyone in the towing/salvage business has different opinions on that. I love the videos got into this work from watching your videos I love it

@CaptKenO 2 месяца назад

Thanks Dylan! Where do you work? It's more of an RPM range, so depending on the size and style of the boat, between 4-7kts

@diggy-d8w 3 месяца назад

Yeah but you played the mistake in a way that most didn't notice, that's working on a different level when you can make even the minor stuff look like you meant it..... lol, the fact that you realized it before it became an issue is part of that. It's quite a boat but I recently read there's so many issues w/ that kind of drive train? I'm no expert & have no boat. Keyboard Warrior ! Beautiful morning to be out. peace

@ManLikeKit 2 месяца назад

Maybe a silly question, would it not of been easier to just throw the line over the top of the console? Rather than having to spin round ?

@CaptKenO 2 месяца назад

Not in the slightest. You can't see it, but we've got two 8ft antennas on top of the t top, and even if we didn't have those up there, it would've been more work to get up there and throw the line over than to move the throttles and spin the boat 😂
