        I use a 40" deep vee with a 700turbo brushed. I trail a 25 foot line attached to a chunk of styrofoam. I get to the stranded boat, circle it a few times, the line catches on the fin or prop, and tow it in.

        If the boat is upside down, I use a sinking nylon line, take a few wraps and tow it in.

                          This was a non-serious thread. Are you asking how to retrieve a stranded boat? What method do you use now?

                              That one gets up on plane much better! LMAO What's the angle of the outboard?

                              At least he has some sort of seat!
