You might well gain more by sending all crew up on the bow.

Being a trig geek, and assuming hull shape counts for nothing, 10
degrees gives you only about 1.' or 1.2 inches. Even 30 degrees dont
give give much.
OTOH, I know that heeling really does work for my boat so hull shape
does matter. I have gotten my boat into places she shouldnt have gone
by heeling her.

In reality, I think what happens to me is that my keel is wide and
flat at the bottom presenting a wide surface to the low density mud.
Heeling presents a wedge shape to the low density mud allowing me to
actually motor through mud with the consistency of very stiff pudding.

Precisely why I'm more interested in this video to free her from the mud,
than I am to get her under that bridge. You could lay her on her side with
these boat balls and drive her off....without the towboat ripoff.

Damn those ripoff artists in tugboats. Next time I'm stuck, I'm going to
call you for a FREE tow off the sandbar. You'll show those greedy
*******s who's boss!!
