Tarrytown- Boat Recovery By Stiloskis 6-3-10

[x635 4,066]

Stiloski's Heavy Recovery and Stiloski's Hudson River Recovery division were requested by the boat owner and marina manager to this vessel that was sinking at a dock in Tarrytown Harbor. They responded with their 85 Ton Rotating Boom heavy wrecker, recovery support truck, and recovery boat.

To stabilize and raise the 40 ft boat, marine recovery airbags were used. The 1200 gallon onboard diesel tank was pumped out and fuel taken offsite. All the water that the vessel had take out was pumped out as the boat was raised. Using the 85 ton rotating boom heavy wrecker and heavy duty cradle straps, the boat was lifted and rotated over to drydock, where the boat is most likely salvageable. All this was completed in under 2 hours by Stiloskis.

Yesterday, in another thread, some of you were questioning what Stiloski's needs the big heavy recovery support vehicle for, and what he carries on it. This is just an example of what some of the equipment on the truck is used for.

I think you mean 120 gallons of diesel.

There is no way that a ship that size had anywhere near 1200 gallons
