Your Boat Fails a 100 feet Out from shore, Now what?

[Jamr]

Unfortunately there is more to boating than just the boat. You need support equipment. Most times you have to park away from the waters edge which makes everything mor difficult.
Let's see your boat salvage, retrieval and service equipment.
Love to see how others are transporting, retrieving and working on their boats on shore.
Here are my tools for this.
Transport;
1 Boat Transport Stands / Bags
Retrieval;
1 RC Tug Boat
2 Blow Up Boat / Air Blower Pump
Servicing;
1 Folding Table
2 Shoe and Pant Leg Covers (Like waders but you keep your shoes on)

What do you use?

I only run my boat when I have access to to a canoe, kayak or powerboat; either my own or belonging to friends at the lake. This makes it somewhat limiting so I often thought about a rescue tug of some sort, but never committed to building/buying one.

When we hit the river we take the trucks and crawlers cause there is some good sand bars we can run up on, and some cool crawling spots too

Hopefully you had a beer or joint to help the wait. In my mind I'm working on cutting a pool noodle in 5 sections and using nylon strung to help hold them like fingers. Then you link them to a nylon string reel.

Theoretically I can put it in the water and walk around to the other side and pull it. Hopefully a few foam pieces will grab the boat. Still gathering materials for it and then ill have it to test should it get stranded.

The other option is a drone and magnet setup with rope but its above my pay grade atm.

Great idea. (My problem is the lake where I run 99% of the time is 32 miles long and the town I run from is just about 16 miles from either end.)

This should be included with every RC boat.
