In the end, Snotlout, along with the rest of the teens, ended up going with Gobber on a boat, as they pull hard on the oars. Fishlegs, Snotlout, Fabjorn, and Hiccup were on one side, while Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Valerie, and Astrid were on the other.

"Come on! Put your back's into it, you lazy dogs!" Gobber yell, as he steers the ship. "Stroke! You're not even trying! Stroke!"

"How fun is this? Right? We got the team back together, another adventure...yeah, this is pretty cool, huh?" Hiccup said, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yup, nothing cooler than rowing until your hand's bleed." Snotlout sarcastically said.

"I just want you kids to know that it touches my heart, you helping me slay the Boneknapper." Gobber said, sniffing. "True Vikings, you are."

"Gobber, are we there yet?" Ruffnut asks, as she continues rowing while Fishlegs look at her.

"Oh, you'll know we're close when your ears explode from the piercing screams." He said, as he stopped rowing. "Legend says this dragon's roar is so fierce, it can melt the flesh right off your bones."

"Not so, Fishlegs." Gobber said, making him look at him, confused. "The Boneknapper has no roar at all, that's why he's terrifying, he's a silent killer."

"Wait, so if we don't hear anything, we're dead?" Ruffnut asks, making them stop rowing, as they listen.

"I don't hear anything." Tuffnut whispers, until a belch is heard making them scream, as it turns out to be Phil, making Gobber laugh.

"Good one, Phil!" He chuckles, before turning serious. "Did I ever tell you about the first time I met the dreaeded Boneknapper?"

"Oh gods, here we go." Valerie muttered, as Gobber began one of his tall tale's again.

"I was a young lad, about your age, on summer vacation with my family." 

We see a boat sailing in the frozen ocean with Gobber's mom holding a reflective, while he and his father row the boat. 

"When I heard the call of nature."

"Oh! Dad, pull the boat over!" The young Gobber said, before jumping of the boat, and running off.

"Didn't I tell ya to go before we left?" His father said, as Gobber found a spot, humming.

Once he was done with his...business, he pick up his axe and turned around as his eyes widen.

"I saw an army of Vikings, frozen in battle!"

The younger Gobber looked around before his eyes lands on one of the Vikings that had a small, golden, treasure chest. 

"Clutched in the fingers of one of the Vikings was a small treasure chest, I had do have it."

Gobber's eyes twitch as he reach his hand out, putting it on the ice while with his other arm smashes the ice with the axe.

"I reached in and pulled out the chest."

He grabbed it and then open it, as a light shine's through. 

"It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw."

His eyes sparkle as he went to grab what's inside the chest. But the frozen Viking grab his arm, making him scream as he grab him.

"But the frozen Viking was alive! He started punching me in the face!"

The Viking punched him with his own arm. 

"Oh! My tooth!" Gobber said, as the Viking mumble before pointing at a direction. "Huh?"
