Genius I say, pure genius!

(or is that the voice of experience I hear?)

I like the plastic sheeting idea and some truck tubes for good measure.
that and a 2" trash pump... -worth a try, before EPA comes to get it....

I would think they would use a barge with a crane on it. or just drag it to a ramp.

let us know what happens!

A local salvage place got a 50' bayliner off the bottom in about 8-10 hrs after a fire sunk it. A little boat like this would be a cake walk! Other than the current, a 4K lb boat would be easy compared to the bayliner at 40-50K lbs! It was raised with air bags attached to the sides of the hull, one or 2 or 3 or 4 on the bottom going around it etc. then pull to the hoist with in the marina, up and out of the water she went.

So a small sailboat like this would be easy. Especially if the OB if that is the motor propulsion is not on the boat,fuel cans are gone.....

Absolutely. A big ass 40 x 20 haytarp is the poor man's cofferdam.

The good thing about this boat is: There will be no tattle-tail water line in the boat for buyers !...Dale

i wouldn't buy it,i was just saying if it was mine already,theres likely to be all kinds of issues that will need to be repaired and replaced,it has probablely been neglected for a long time
