fishing rod, electric rescue boat, swimming (only with a life jacket and no other boats running!!!!) or a raft/boat of some kind that you can go out in... if all else fails, wait for it to blow ashore!

i got a hook on the front of my boat, when it stalls i just cast out to it with a fishing rod that has a tennis ball tied on the end of it and reel her in.

I use an electric boat mounted in a PCV frame to push it in when I go out locally. When I go up to OK city, they have a john boat and trolling motor to go get them with.

yeah that hook is ugly, but it does work! I have seen some nice stainless steel ones on catamarans that look pretty good though!

I think we all agree on the fact that it works! I wonder if you could find a small boat cleat? Does anyone make something small like that. Say like an actual tie off cleat that you could mount up front or on the side towards the back.
